How to record in total darkness? Night shooting tips with HD recording + infrared fill light
Blog Article
In the field of photography, video recording in a completely dark environment has always been a rather challenging task. However, with the help of the Gogogo Sport Vpro night vision camera goggles binoculars, combined with its high-definition recording and infrared supplementary light functions, excellent shooting effects can be achieved in a completely dark environment. The following will introduce the relevant shooting techniques in detail.
Understand the characteristics of the equipment: Lay a solid foundation for shooting
The high-definition recording function of Gogogo Sport Vpro is the key for it to record images in a completely dark environment. It is equipped with advanced image sensors and video coding technology, capable of capturing rich details and recording images in high resolution. Meanwhile, the digital infrared night vision function serves as the core, capturing the infrared rays emitted by objects through the built-in infrared sensor and converting them into visible images.
Before starting the shooting, it is necessary to fully understand these characteristics of the equipment. Be familiar with the operation interface of the device and use its backlit keyboard to easily adjust parameters such as recording resolution and frame rate even in the dark. Generally speaking, higher resolutions (such as close to 4K) can record clearer images, but they also take up more file space. You can choose based on the capacity of the memory card and your actual needs. In terms of frame rate, 25fps or 30fps can meet the requirements of regular video recording. If you want to shoot slow-motion effects, you can choose a higher frame rate.
Use infrared supplementary light: Illuminate dark scenes
In a completely dark environment, the infrared fill light function of the Gogogo Sport Vpro is like a "dark night light". Its infrared sensor will actively emit infrared rays. When the infrared rays encounter an object and are reflected back and received by the sensor, an image can be constructed.
When shooting, it is necessary to pay attention to adjusting the intensity of infrared supplementary light reasonably. Although the equipment will automatically adjust to a certain extent according to the environment, manual intervention is sometimes required. For instance, when shooting small animals at close range, if the infrared supplementary light is too strong, it may cause the image to be overexposed, resulting in a white expanse. At this point, the intensity of the supplementary light can be appropriately reduced. When shooting distant scenes, you can appropriately increase the fill light to ensure that enough light is reflected back to form a clear picture.
At the same time, attention should be paid to the Angle of infrared supplementary light. Try to make the infrared light evenly cover the shooting target to avoid blind spots in the light. If the subject being photographed is in an obstructed environment, such as a bird behind a branch, the Angle of the equipment should be adjusted so that the infrared rays can bypass the obstructions and better capture the target.
Stable shooting: Ensure picture quality
When shooting in a completely dark environment, due to the low visibility, even slight shaking when holding the device will be significantly magnified in the picture. Although the ergonomic design of the Gogogo Sport Vpro helps with a stable grip, stability can still be further enhanced with the help of some auxiliary tools.
In addition, when pressing the recording button, do it gently to avoid the device shaking suddenly due to excessive force. During the shooting process, try to keep your breathing steady and avoid moving your body too much to maintain the stability of the picture.
Select the shooting target and scene: Highlight the key points of the shooting
There are numerous objects and scenes available for shooting in a completely dark environment. However, to capture valuable videos, it is necessary to choose the shooting targets reasonably. For wildlife observers, it is possible to understand the activity patterns and habitats of nocturnal animals in advance and choose to take pictures where they may appear.
When shooting scenes, attention should be paid to the selection of the background. Try to avoid a background that is too messy, as a complex background under infrared fill light may reflect excessive infrared rays, interfering with the shooting of the main target. Choosing a relatively simple background can make the subject of the shoot stand out more.
By understanding the characteristics of the Gogogo Sport Vpro device, making reasonable use of the infrared supplementary light function, doing a good job in shooting stability, and selecting the shooting target and scene properly, one can successfully shoot clear and valuable videos with the help of its high-definition recording function in a completely dark environment, and record those mysterious and wonderful moments in the darkness.
