In very low light, the camera struggles with a strong image noise and blurred contours. In addition, the recordings become too dark. Who uses the flash, can look forward to a very bright and evenly lit photos with a pretty natural color reproduction. Videos succeed in Full HD resolution. The image stabilizer does a good job, however, seem a little choppy.
