Kaitlin R has asked in Yahoo answer about how to make a good quality video with Nikon Coolpix S6, she wanted to upload her video on youtube.

When I see this topic in Yahoo Answer I hope somebody can get a good answer, but unfortunately nobody can give the best one.

Qrk, a Yahoo Member give this answer;

“You can’t. Point and shoot cameras aren’t optimized for video and the small sensor physical dimensions limit the quality under low lighting conditions. Plus, the amount of compression used on p&s camera videos is very high which places additional limits on the quality. If you want to take good quality videos at night, you need a decent quality video camera like the Sony VX2000 (oldie, but good camera, especially for low light conditions).
If you insist on shooting videos with your p&s camera, you need lots of light to reduce the noise you are seeing. You are fighting the physics of the sensor. You should also set the white balance of your camera to suit the lighting type (incandescent, fluorescent) of your scene. This will make the color more natural. You can also post process the video with tools like VirtualDub. With VirtualDub, you can adjust brightness, contrast, and do some noise reduction. The convolution filter works well for noise reduction, but is hard to figure out if you’re not into filtering algorithms.”

Other audience Ben D, has also said with best solution, “The poor quality with dimly lit subjects is not something that can be fixed with a setting. I’d recommend getting some lights (cheap clamp lights from a hardware store will work) and lighting your scene better.”

But I think two people there has given their best aid for Kaitlin R.

Many Nikon COOLPIX cameras have selectable picture modes, which Nikon has called “scene modes”. All Coolpix cameras also have an “Auto” mode, which will select the camera settings automatically for the best picture under most circumstances; however, pictures may look better if the photographer manually selects the appropriate camera settings best suited to the conditions.

Nikon cameras with “Scene Modes” make this easy using a pre-programmed setting which are selectable via the camera’s dial or menu (depending on the camera used). If pictures are going to be taken for any one of the scenarios below then choosing that “Scene Mode” will provide excellent results.

Portrait

The main subject stands out clearly while background details are softened, this can give the image a sense of depth. By using a wide aperture (i.e. f/5.6) the camera will try to blur the background to make it less distracting and concentrating the viewer’s attention to the main subject. The degree to which background is out of focus depends on the amount of light available.

Settings used:

Flash- auto any flash setting can be used, Shutter speeds- auto, Aperture -wide aperture, Focus-normal, some cameras allow manual focus point selection.

Party / Indoor

This mode is designed for taking pictures at parties or generally in doors. While normal flash photography may result in the subject being correctly exposed the background will generally be under exposed (dark). Using the party mode the camera utilizes longer exposures (i.e. 1/30 second) to allow more ambient light from the room to be captured, improving the exposure of the background and giving an impression of the environment where the picture was taken.  You can also use this setting to capture the effects of candlelight and other indoor background lighting.  Note that the camera uses slower shutter speeds so some camera shake may occur. Steady the camera carefully to avoid movement.

Settings used:

Flash- on with red eye reduction, Shutter speeds – slower speed than normal are used, Aperture – auto, Focus – normal

Beach/Snow

Vividly captures the brightness of such subjects as snowfields, beaches, or sunlight expanses of water. Photographing in these situations can be tricky as sand and snow can fool the camera into producing the wrong exposure. You may have seen holiday snaps of people skiing on what would appear to be pink/blue or grey snow, this is caused by the cameras exposure meter being tricked and giving the wrong exposure. Using the beach/snow scene mode the camera is able to compensate for these situations and produce the correct exposure.

Settings used:

Flash – auto, but any flash mode can be used, Shutter speeds- auto, Aperture -auto, Exposure compensation used (i.e. +1 exposure). Focus-normal

If your shooting a scene with predominant white (snow), you would dial in +2 EV since the meter will try to expose for 128 on the histogram. This would move the spike on the histogram from middle to roughly just before 255 – right of the histogram making the white look natural, but not blowing it. Of course, the amount of compensation required also depends on metering mode and the amount of bright white in your scene.

Landscape

Use for landscape shots to enhance outlines, colors, and contrast in such subjects as landscapes and forests. This mode is also useful for photographing views from windows of planes, trains, cars or tall buildings, where glass and reflections could fool the AF. The camera will lock the focus to infinity and select an aperture to produce the maximum depth of field (i.e. f/16).

Settings used:

Flash- off, shutter speeds- Auto, Aperture -smallest aperture, Focus- set to infinity

Sunset

Sunsets are difficult subjects to photograph. Trying to preserves the deep hues seen in sunsets and sunrises requires careful exposure. Using the Sunset scene mode, Nikon has incorporated the optimum degree of exposure compensation to capture the color you saw when you took the image.

Settings used:

Flash- off, Shutter speeds- use slower speed than normal, Aperture -auto, exposure compensation-on Focus -normal

Night Portrait

Use to provide a natural balance between the main subject and the background when shooting portraits against a backdrop of night scenery. The camera will combine flash and long exposures to provide the correct exposure, using flash for the portrait subject and long exposure for the background. Note that camera shake may occur, so it is recommended to use a tripod or brace your self or rest the camera on solid object.

Settings used:

Flash- on (slow sync mode if available, Shutter speeds- use slower speed than normal, Aperture -auto, Focus normal.

Night Landscape

This mode is similar to the landscape mode but uses a slow shutter speed is used to produce stunning night landscapes. Noise reduction turns on automatically to reduce digital noise, which may occur during long exposures giving clear images.  Note that camera shake may occur, so it is recommended to use a tripod brace your self or rest the camera on solid object.

Settings used:

Flash- off, Shutter speeds- use slower speed than normal, Aperture -auto, Focus- set to infinity

Close Up

Use to capture the colors in close-up shots of flowers, insects, and other small objects, with the background artistically blurred.  Note Minimum focus distance varies between cameras and zoom position.

Settings used:

Flash- on, Shutter speeds- fast, Aperture -wide apertures, Focus-macro, some cameras allow manual focus point selection.

Fireworks Show

Slow shutter speeds are used to capture the expanding burst of light from a firework. Using a degree of exposure compensation is used to prevent the camera incorrectly exposing the scene. Note that camera shake may occur, so it is recommended to use a tripod brace your self or rest the camera on solid object.

Settings used:

Flash- off, Shutter speeds- use slower speed than normal, Aperture -auto, Focus- set to infinity

Museum

Museums are full of interesting object to photograph; however the use of indoor flash photography is usually prohibited. This mode is useful in other settings in which you do not want to use the flash. The camera turns on automatically the Best Shot Selector, which captures several images and only records the correctly exposed and sharpest image from the several images taken.  Photography may be prohibited altogether in some settings. Be sure to obtain permission first.

Settings used:

Flash- off, Shutter speeds- fast to avoid camera shake, Aperture -auto, BSS-on

Multiple Exposures

Two successive exposures are combined to form a single image, to create special effects in camera. Take the first exposure normally. The shot will appear in the monitor superimposed on the view through the lens. Use this as a guide to compose a multiple exposure, and then press the shutter- release button to record the picture. Ideal for creating virtual twin photographs as below.

Settings used:

Flash- off (can be turn on) Shutter speeds- auto, Aperture-auto, Focus -normal

Copy

Because most cameras base their exposures on metering from an 18% grey card, photographing a white object like a sheet of paper can produce disappointing results.  Using the Copy scene mode provides clear pictures of text or drawings on a white board, business card, or printed matter using exposure compensation to provide the correct exposure. Colored text and drawings may not show up well in the final picture.

Settings used:

Flash- off, shutter speeds- auto, Aperture -auto, Exposure compensation-on, Focus -macro

Back Light Auto

Use when your subject is lit from behind and their features are in shadow, or when your subject is in the shade but the background is brightly lit. This mode is also very handy for photographing people wearing hats as the flash will fire automatically to “fill in” (illuminate) shadows so you are able to see the subjects face more clearly.

Settings used:

Flash- on, shutter speeds- auto, Aperture -fast aperture, Focus-normal,

Sports

This mode is useful for photographing fast moving objects with cameras, which do not feature manual exposure modes, or inexperienced users. The camera will use a fast shutter speed to freeze the action to produce dynamic sport shots.

Settings used:

Flash -off, Shutter speed- fast, Aperture-auto.

Dusk/Dawn

This mode will provide the correct exposure to capture the weak natural light just before sunrise or after sunset. The camera will use long exposures to capture these scenes. Noise reduction will be turned on to reduce any digital noise, which may affect the image due to the long exposures.

Settings used:

Flash-off, Shutter speed- slow, Aperture-auto, Focus- set to infinity
