Answer 1

charge it for a long time

Answer 2

Two other things that will kill the video quality are movement and variable lighting.  They're often out of your control, but at least try and keep the camcorder steady.

Answer 3

First of all, it's not your resolution. That remains the same whether you take day or night picture. Secondly, resolutions have nothing to do with QUALITY of the pictures or video. You can have low resolution high quality video and high resolution low quality video. From the sounds of it, you have a camera that performs poorly in low light conditions, pretty typical of cameras and camcorder below $600.

Okay, the best thing you can do to get good video and photos is to use it in an environment where there is plenty of daylight. Light is the most important thing in video and photography. Go outside on a bright day and take some photos or video in a shaded area. You'll get great results. Lower end camcorders and cameras do not perform well in poor lighting condition. If you're indoors, avoid pointing the camera AT the windows or doors where there's light coming in. This is a mistake that many beginners make - they point it at the light source thinking it will help. Instead, it hurts your shots or video by making everything else dark. Think of the camera as your eyes... if you look directly at something bright, you won't be able to see anything unless you squint, which deteriates your vision.  If you experiment with your camcorder by pointing it towards a bright window, you'll see what I mean... Everything will get dark. This applies to both, video and photos. Instead of pointing the camera towards the light source, try placing your object 5 feet away in front of the window. Now place yourself back to back with the window so that you're in between the window and your object. This will give you optimal light indoors and should give you a decent shot.
