I just purchased the HV20 ... newbie here ... and so far I am really impressed. I read on another forum that someone mentioned typically in movies, people film in the day and then use software to create a night effect. That sounds really cool and I would love to learn how to do that (if anyone knows a tutorial on such an effect I'd appreciate it); however, I am looking to take footage of an actual night time setting.

I'm looking to take a trip to disney soon and I would like to take footage of the night time fireworks. Has anyone else taken video of fireworks with the HV20 and if so what were the optimal settings you found?

Thanks,

I took video of fireworks at a wedding using the fireworks preset in the camera's scenes presets (in the top row of the functions menu). It looks fantastic!
