In the video camera (10') with associated video light (12'), the luminosity of the video light is altered by means of a luminosity circuit (13') as a function of the output signal of a light sensor (14') arranged on the video camera (10'), preferably behind the optical system (11') of the video camera (10') to the effect that only the smallest luminosity required for a satisfactory video recording is ever delivered by the video light (12'). <IMAGE>
