Zoom Q3 picture question

[Paul S]

These are known for poor performance in low light situations but my last recording was particularly bad - un-useable as is. Does anyone know of any editing software that can adjust the picture to improve this? I tried using the 'brighten' bit of Windows Movie Maker but is just bleached the whole thing.

There's an download update on the Zoom site that helps a bit.

I find they work well if you use them right up close to the band. Set up on a tripod a distance away and it's not very good.

Thanks for that. Unfortunately that doesn't work for me as there was no formatted SD card with mine when I got it and I downloaded the Handyshare software to my pc. In effect I have nothing to add the file to.

I've just bought one of these and the download does make quite a difference to the low-light recordings.
