Low Light with XL2
 
I use my camera for alot of indoor rollerskating events. I would like to know if there is a set of settings that will work best for indoor action? From what I am told, and what I have experienced this camera doesnt exactly shine in the low light situations. So if any of you pro's know how to make the XL2 work in these conditions I would greatly appreciate the input!

Search this forum under advanced search, typing in among other heavy hitters Ash Greyson's name. He talks alot about low light settings.

The XL2 is actually better in low light than it gets credit for. I have a low-light setting I will look up for you later but off the top of my head.... set the color settings to NORMAL, not CINE, set the blacks to stretch, turn UP the set-up level and the Master Pedestal. Also, bump up the coring and turn NR to medium.

This setting will need a contrast adjustment in post but will provide fairly clean images is fairly low light.
