sitting still for 20 seconds was the only way photos could be taken originally before the invention of the flash. Why do you think no one in early photos is smiling!

A 3 or 4 second photo would be a lot sharper and you would get the same effect.

f/5.6 is too wide

> f/5.6 is too wideI didn't make those figures up, they are in the EXIF linked from TFA.For a 6 second exposure under that lighting, F/5.6 should have been well and truly blown. But on the other hand, it is 21mm so the only way to achieve such short DOF is with a wide-ish aperture.I can only presume he had some sort of ND filter.

When he showed the "final" result on his camera the shot looked over exposed, he did say something in regards to the setting not being right. So can someone explain to me please if you need to make the shot under expose or is there any other trick to this.

To get great video out of the Aiptek, follow a few rules. (1) NEVER use the digital zoom function -- always keep it zoomed out. Move closer to your subject if you want it to fill more of the frame. (2) Remember to use the manual focus switch -- macro for around 20 inch away close-ups, the medium postion for a bit farther away, and the full infinity position for anything more than about 6 to 8 feet or so away from the lens. (3) Hold the camera as steady as possible if it's a hand-held shot, and if possible use a tripod. (4) Use the white balance feature as necessary depending on your light source. (5) Pay attention to the basic prinicples of good photography, i.e. the "rule of thirds" -- if you don't know what that means, look it up on Wikipedia. more info <a class="user" href="http://astore.amazon.com/aiptek.digital.camcorder-20&quot;&gt;http://astore.amazon.com/aiptek.digital.camcorder- ...</a>
