Given the poor lens performance of the XA 4, do you still have the camera?
or did your sell it already?
By the way, I notice a green LED light up when apparently light conditions
are not enough for natural light shooting. At what shutter speed does this
LED light up or what I mean is, what is the minimum shutter speed allowed
for natural ligth shooting before at which point the LED would light up? Is
this probably 1/60 or 1/30?
Regards
Titoy
