Turn off the stabilizer (or trick it into 1/60th [NTSC]
instead of 1/100th); switch to manual exposure and select
one "notch" exposure below maximum (to limit to +15db
instead of +18, where color goes away); use "portrait"
mode (it boosts the color at +18, but may have some
liabilities); use shutter "1" or "2" in effects to
lower the shutter speed; use "nightshot" combined with
"B&W" mode; add light; use combinations of the above...
