Hey so I got this basic camera from my uncle for my birthday, and my girlfriend is letting me take a sex tape of us while I tie her up. I'm messing with the settings but I can't keep the flash on constantly like an Iphone so I'm wondering what I can do to make the best of a low light situation. I doubt I'll get another go at this anytime soon (it's part of my birthday) so any advice would be awesome.
You know I don't think anyone on /p/ even has a GF so I doubt they know how to make sex tapes.

You need light.
Do it next to a window during the day, or get on Ebay and pick up a CFL softbox light kit for $80.
iphone flash is actually not a flash, just the equivalent of taping a torch/constant light source to your camera and turning it on whenever you want to take a picture
I recommend you buy a cheap softbox with bulb from craigslist or amazon, those things really arent that expensive anymore

The flash on the top of a camera is made to be a strobe. one powerful pop of a lot of light. It's sort of like a toilet tank, it takes a few seconds to fill up the capacitors and then when you fire the shutter, it lets go all at once. It's a lot of light, and a lot of power, and a lot of heat, made to go all at once. The hardware isn't made to be left on (just like a toilet isn't made to run water through continuously) and if you were outputting that much light continuously, it would very very quickly overheat and consume itself.

Well if you act now you can order a fabulous new Lomokino 35mm camera with a Fritz the Blitz flash before your birthday is over forever! Setting the FtB to 1/8th of a second will give you optimal lighting for even the darkest conditions, such as in a basement or sex dungeon. Though you may need some assistance in recording your Lomokino movie as this is a analogue camera (thirty-five millimeter film is required), so grab a friend or that uncle you mentioned and slap that baby on a tripod and get to shooting! Better yet, build an amazing rig and you'll be the talk of the town!

If you want to film / photograph with this kind of a shitty camera, you need extra lights.
Since bridge camera shit does not even have a flash hotshoe, you will want 2-3 fairly powerful standing lamps or a set of 2-3 flash light that is reliable with optical triggering.
Chances are good that you also want to put a diffuser in front of it, or indirectly light your scene (bounce it off a white wall)...

Film it during early morning or late afternoon (depending which side of the house your bedroom is on). These shitty cameras have very small sensors and need a lot of light to film well. You'll also probably need a tripod if you want both hands free

He'd blow his bulb before He'd Blow his load
Get a ring light around your lens and go for some glorious pov action.
