An on-camera video light is a continuous lighting instrument that can be easily added to the shoe mount of a professional video camera. Videography and cinematography, as with photography, are the process, activity and art of capturing light and recording it on a sensitive medium, such as a photographic film, or an electronic sensor. When shooting inside a building or in a low ambient light outdoor environment, natural ambient light may be not sufficient or does not permit proper exposure. Artificial lighting thus comes into operation to improve the luminous environment. On-camera lights produce an immense amount of light to either provide a source of key light or fill in shadows cast by the key light. An on-camera light is handy in a pinch. It is designed to give cinematographers, videographers and photographers creative control with the ability to direct the beam of light and manipulate the intensity and even the spectral composition of the light in the scene.
