Tried recording a video last night in the dark, no lights on what-so-ever. The video recorded fine, perfect sound but couldn't see a thing. Obviously didn't get to see what I tried to video. Is there a function on the phone where the light on the phone will function, so I can actually view my video?  Cheers

No, the N8 has a xenon flash which is far better for photography but it cannot be used as a light for video.

For recording in darkness you will need to use a separate torch.

if you can't see it in the viewfinder (screen) it's not going to come out in the actual recording.

The Xenon flash cannot be used as a lightsource.  Besides the fact that this will probably heat the device too fast, the power consumption would make it impractical.

it may as well not have video. . .cannot even record in dimly lit boozer...wish i would of known this before purchasing said crock of.

Did you enable low light or night mode when recording in a dimly lit boozer?

Like most phone video cams it has it's limitations but i've had some great results in low light when using the correct modes.

i heard that there is an app for nokia n8 which enables the phone with video recording with flash.
