How to Film in low light situations using the Canon HV20

Video recording interface displaying settings and timer.

The so-called 'photo button trick' can help you get the exposure right, when you film in low light situations / total darkness. The tutorial was made for the Canon HV20 but works for the HG10 as well (they share menu / software).

The footage happens to be me filming the tutorial :). You'll see my HG10 filming with no gain (at the lowest ISO setting possible for the camcorder). The footage used on the screen in the video is the original tutorial from The DV Show. It seems confusing at first, but by the end you'll see he's recording a computer monitor with the video on it.

Apple's iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 updates are packed with new features, and you can try them before almost everyone else. First, check Gadget Hacks' list of supported iPhone and iPad models, then follow the step-by-step guide to install the iOS/iPadOS 26 beta — no paid developer account required.
