The camera's PureVideo mode optimizes shooting performance in low-light conditions. This article provides the operational steps for switching to this mode and some FAQ answers, meeting your nighttime shooting needs.

Instructions

1. After powering on the camera, tap the "Shooting Mode" icon in the lower left of the screen.
2. Swipe to select the "PureVideo" mode, then press the shutter button to start recording.

FAQ

1. What is the difference between the PureVideo mode and the Video mode?

The core difference lies in their optimization for different lighting conditions:

• Environmental Adaptation: The PureVideo mode is specifically optimized with algorithms for low-light conditions (e.g., night scenes, dimly lit interiors), capturing more details. However, in bright environments like daytime with natural light or strong artificial light, using the Video mode is recommended, as it adapts well to most common lighting scenarios — whether capturing outdoor scenery on a sunny day or recording in normally lit indoor spaces — delivering more stable and refined image quality.
• Supported Frame Rates: The PureVideo mode prioritizes low-light image quality; therefore, it offers a relatively narrower range of frame rate options, suiting shoots that prioritize static night scene quality. The Video mode provides a wider range of frame rates, catering to various dynamic shooting needs, such as capturing motion or fast-changing scenes.
• Dynamic Range: The PureVideo mode is better suited for balancing shadow details in low light. When the Video mode is used with the Active HDR feature, it handles high-contrast scenes more effectively, preventing overexposed highlights while retaining detail in shadows, resulting in more distinct color gradation.

2. Can I manually adjust the shutter speed in the PureVideo mode?

Manually adjusting the shutter speed is not currently supported. The shutter parameter is automatically matched by the camera based on the ambient light.
