The camcorder feature

Lux;

Lux is the unit for measuring the amount of light illuminating the certain area. Since the camcorders are able to operate in low light, a subject lit by a candle can be seen in the shooting. But for the best result, we should shoot subject which is fully lit by bright light. Sharp, bright colors and natural looking image can be seen during the shooting.

Back light compensator;

One of auto-exposure problem is when we shooting subject with bright light coming from behind the subject. The iris closes down and the face of the subject can't be seen clearly or silhouette. The back light compensator(BLC) open up the iris to correct the exposure on the subject. However the background of the subject is looking bleach.
