@hmmmX3 Oh well, I presume if there's a very strong point of light on the relatively dark background during the day time, this also might come as a problem, but I haven't encountered such a situation...
Expensive CCD powered cameras had really problem in low-light situations . Compact and cheaper cameras with BSI-Cmos sensors nowadays are better and can capture lowlight videos naturally and beautifully with less noise.
Yes, you can use ISO, though if your chose a unworkable value, the camera will automatically raise ISO to a reasonable level. OK, I'll try shooting a walking stabilization test when the darn rain stops.
I have found the way to overcome vertical streaks working with this camera: you ought to user not the "iA" mode, but the night scene mode, and everything works just fine. You can watch results in my video "Christmas Yachts 2010. San Rafael, CA", shot in Night Scene mode.
It´s such a nice camera, but the vertical light bars kills it for me. And the s95, whose low light capabilities are top notch, has no autofocus/zoom while shooting video. Bah!
How could this have killed the video, which was intended from start to demonstrate this particular charachteristic of the LX5??? By the way, as I have commented later on, I have found the way to make those dreaded streaks disappear - watch my video "Christmas Yachts 2010. San Rafael, CA". So, gotDesign... life ain't so terrible after all, hah?... ;)))))
Great test, think I'll get that camera.
Dont know where you filmed this but looks like a nice safe town. Thanks for sharing.
The vertical lines are called sensor bloom.
Thanks, @musicforindies - This is San Rafael, California (Marin county, 22 miles north of San Francisco)
Just change the F-stop settings to counter the light issue.
What number f stop? Thanks!
I heard that PROGRAME AE video mode, you can reduce the streaking problem, goodl luck :)

Can you use auto iso in video mode???
I really like this video. Can you test the stabilization system by making a "walking video" test?

I just bought this camera USED and I am concerned about this streaking. I like shooting low light and night video.
@vwlover94 You mean: Ai mode? No, that mode doesn't help with streaking problem.
vertical streak lines kill the video
purple vertical lights..
@Thokko - Oh, but it's much, much better than quality of Thokko's video "My girlfriend playing a prank on my truck"... ;)))))

no it isnt if you know how to controll it
How can I limit this defect?
@jasonism123 This problem can be overcome as sen in my video clip "Christmas Yachts 2010. San Rafael, CA"
Tips? Help?
