What is a Camera LUX Rating?
The LUX Rating is the measurement used to indicate how sensitive a camera is to light. It represents the level of light reflected off a piece of paper by a candle from one meter away. For example, a sensitivity of ‘3 Lux’ would mean a camera could generate an acceptable picture of a piece-of-paper sized object that was illuminated by the equivalent of 3 candles from one meter away. The important thing to remember is that the lower the lux level, the better the camera’s ability to work in low-light conditions.
