Dark Video!

[Guest]

I've capture video using my Sony DCR HC20E DV Camera PAL connected to a
firewire port. I capture our field trip using mm2, but while i'm capturing in
the preview windows it appears to be dark, but on the LCD of my camera looks
fine and bright!

Is there a solution for this???

Depends on what settings for the cam and pc you have. Record back from the
pc to the cam and if it plays the same as the priginal you know it's just
brightnesss settings that are different on the two pieces of hardware.

I don't know if it's normal, but I experience the same thing.
However, when the movie is completed and burned to a DVD, the image is
crisp and bright when I play the DVD.
