Shooting in low light tips

[winniecash]

Filming my schools lacrosse game tomo night, the stadium has lights in it but when I ever i put my camera in 60fps, even with lots of lights, I still get grainy footage, dead pixels, ect. ect. just wanted to know if theres anything i can do to help this, besides putting my camera in a hight frame rate, thanks.

Frame rate doesn't change how a camera looks. Your iso is too high. What camera do you have?

There's an iso button for it. Indoor is hard to shoot due to wanting everything in focus but also needing that light to see things. iso 1600-3200, F/5.6 or F/6.3 30fps and a shutter speed of 1/60th should do it well enough i believe but go out and test. dont shoot 60fps if you dont need to. No point if you arent using slow motion. Make sure when you pull focus, you're truly getting it perfectly in focus. That could make or break F/5.6-F/6.3

You're welcome. Just get there early and play around with the settings. Avoid high iso to grain and avoid low F/stop to keep everything in focus.

It's just a big balancing act.

Just get a Noctilux.
