Calm down, you only left it an hour and a half! We're not on here 24/7

What do you mean by a lens(e)?

All cameras have lenses. DO you mean a zoom lens, or a filter, or something else?

More light is often good, but it depends what you're filming. Tell us more!!

You know what's going to make it better? Practise!

Experiment with different levels of lights, different settings on your camera. There is no "right" setting. It all depends on what you want to achieve. Just play around, fiddle with the settings and see what you think looks good for what you want to do.

Sorry I couldn't come up with a magic answer for you

Just to confirm - are you talking about a stills camera or video camera?

The first thing I would do to make that image better is to balance the whites. Clearly taken inside under artificial lighting, it looks all orange.

Get the whites white and look at it again.
