keeping camera and white balance locked for 4 months

[filmfan222]

hello!

from the guy who brought you the home built motion control camera....

is a totally n00b question...

ok...so Im doing pass based stop motion control photography (think Tim Burton animated films) and need to keep some master settings for up to 4 months.

what I mean by this...is that my lighting and scene will not change, so I need to:

lock the camera camera settings in the menu (accomplished via sd card)

BUT, also need to maintain the white balance the camera was set to on the first day of shooting. (ie if the chip in the camera measures a AWB of 3378k, instead of 3200k,

how do I tell the camera to remember that after power off?)

also, short of writing down all my camera settings in an excel document, can i tell the camera to remember my aperture and shutter settings as well?

thanks!
Charles Wood


any ideas?

eh no responses.

heres what I figured.

use the cameras built in 3200k setting, save the scene file, and mark zoom in mm not numbers.

just a thought.

I don't know if it's different on the HVx, but my DVX keeps its custom WB setting after a power down.
