Sony Night shot

[trevlac]

Is there a tool to fix Sony Night shot images. Opps ... left it on when filming ...


Without night shot


Good light night shot on


Lower light night shot on

You need a color corrector.

TMPGEnc has one. I assume you want to make the bottom pictures like the top one? It's gonna take some fiddling around to get it the way you'd like.

For a moment there I thought you were asking about the nude filter option of the night shot.

Maybe I should change the Topic to get More Hits ....

IIRC ... that was only on a few cams for a short period of time ....

Sir Death,

Color correction ... yes, but does anyone know what Sony is doing ? Do I have to buy a vectorscope and compare the shots?

Trevlac,

Premiere, Vegas and Avid XpressDV and Pro have built-in vector scopes to help color correction. It depends on what you have access to. I think Pinnacle Studio 9 also has some color correction tools.

Color correction may help a little, but there is NO WAY to get back to what you would have had without the night shot being on. Night shot changes the input is a very significant way, that's why it can work in VERY LOW light. There is NO WAY to reverse that process.

That's pretty much what I discovered; there isn't really any color information. What you wind up with is an image with a shift toward one color. At least that was the best I could do with some Sony NS footage I shot on a very dark beach with virtually zero illumination.
