Aurora borealis shot with new low-light Canon camera

Feb 9, 2016

Aurora Skycam, a Norwegian film enterprise, has become the first company in the world to use Canon’s new ME20F-SH, high-definition video camera to capture stunningly detailed low-light footage of one of the world’s most spectacular natural phenomena, the aurora borealis.

The footage, shot in Norway, records the borealis in “never-before-seen clarity”, revealing colour and high definition detail that has “opened up new creative possibilities”, according to Aurora Skycam’s Anders Hanssen. “It’s the most amazing camera out there – a revolution when it comes to night-time photography.”

Launched in July 2015 the ME20F-SH is a professional multi-purpose video camera capable of capturing full-colour, HD footage in extremely low-light environments. Boasting a maximum ISO in excess of 4 million (+75dB), the camera facilitates a wide range of shooting possibilities in situations that previously would not have been possible.
