Hi,
Don't know where to ask this, so thought I'd ask the experts here. I have a samsung SD camcorder but has no light for indoor shooting so videos are rather dark. Would a small LED flashlight supplement the lighting situation. I have been searching and seems that there are some nice little LED flashlight arounf at reasonable prices.
I am a novice videographer who takes videos of grandchildren and am of fixed bufget.

I have a Samsung HD Video Camera and my camera has a low light function in the menu as well as other shooting modes.
Don't know your model number so I can't say what your camera has. My cameras does an excellent job without lighting with the functions in the shooting modes. Windows 8 Pro 64bit

Thanks for the link! I take from the video that it is quite a versatile little camera, I bought it on sale for 199$ canadian awhile ago for taken video of Grandchildren. I guess I will have to play with it more to get familiar with it.
