And I mostly use a lens that goes down to f/3.5, but when using a faster lens such as 50/1.4 it really explodes lowlight video. Also even if the video is not too good to keep, you may be able to video shoot a tornado at night and keep a video still from FHD, which is still 2 MB in size. So, in a dark night storm, you can film at 20 fps, or 15 fps, or 10 fps or as slow as 4 fps and the exposure time of the frames are stretched accordingly, and you may choose afterwards if you want to use this for timelapse-at-night or to stretch it back to normal speed.

with the Windows freeware Live Movie Maker you can set the clip to play back at 0.125 slowmotion, so it plays at a spead close to the 4fps originally used for shooting. Of course with specific software you can stretch it back to 4 fps, e.g. Also, it shoots at 4 fps but the playback is still 25 or 30 fps, so it actually gives you a low-light timelapse shooting. This can be great for shooting storms at night, in extreme low light conditions. But for stormchasing it has a few nice features specifically, such as FPS override, so in FHD 1080 video instead of being stuck at 25 or 24 or 30 fps, I can go as low as 4 fps, with exposure times instead of 1/30 sec. I almost was going to erase it, as I first found it to be too complicated, bringing too many settings and I might get confused. I recently discovered Magic Lantern, a firmware that runs alonside the original firmware of my Canon T2i, booting from the SD card.
