Finding that when filming a bright city at night, I get better results shooting in Auto and not in "night mode". From what I understand The Air 3 boosts the ISO to 12800 when needed and adds some software magic to reduce noise. But the camera doesn't need 12800 with bright buildings around. I have "subtitles" turned on to read the info where the camera calls for somewhat less than it's Auto max
of 6400. The noise reduction introduces artifacts that just don't look good. Seems like "night mode" might be used in very very low light situations.
