Hi, last night i was with some friends here in my house when i wanted to record in video some of the conversation, however when i took out my K790 and selected Video Mode, it was way too dark to see anything!...

so my question is this: is there any possible way to use the flash that k790 has as a light while recording?... or at least the orange light (torch)?

if there is, i'd really love if youcould tell me please, it would be very useful

thanks ^^

its no way possible. bec xenon is not like LED it charges and discharges the capcitance between two flashes. if its continuously operates, results very fast drain of battery. so its not possibel....

Yes, but the light will be focused to limited area and color temperature may not match resulting some odd colors. What about camcorder lamp which can be purchased separate from the camcorder?

Next time you think about investing in electronics buy a real camera, a mobile phone will never be better than a camera or camcorder. Once purchased you will never think about replacing the camera with a newer model.
