HVX-200's worse and best colors, whites blow out, etc,

[Clint Nitkiewiz Hernandez]

Does anyone care to post up their own personal favorite colors that the hvx200 is good at receiving detail, and colors it hates.

I heard that whites are best to avoid, as in white clothing, white walls, as it may turn grey without the right light, or blow out with too much, also i heard the same of tan colors somewhere

What about reds, blacks, greens, and the rest, any personal experiences anyone cares to share?

Your worries about 'white' are simply based off of exposure. A white wall in a dark room will be gray.

The HVX200 has decent latitude, so although white can blow out, with proper caution of the film maker, doesn't have to.

Red has always been a problem for video. It tends to 'bleed' and can often have the illusion of being slightly out of focus.

Other than that, the HVX and Panasonic has been known for it's pretty good reproduction of vivid color.

The little I've seen and worked with HVX200a the colors are fine and accurate (at least more accurate than 200).

"Red is only for hell and whore houses" as my teacher and friends have said.

Red is a problem in film and even worse in video. It has to do with the wave length. Blue can therefore look much sharper due to its wave length. I've read articles about how a standard definition TV shot with blue/cooler colors can look sharper than stuff on HD with red colors (that are focused correctly, just focus without red light). But I am digressing, I am happy with HVX200a.

Ryan nailed it.. and highlander is really on the mark and that's some funny mess about the red. The other interesting thing is that green is really a standout color for this. In green concert lighting or just the primary color.. it shines. Most primary colors look awesome. The one thing too is that most of the noise is also in the Red channel.. so if you have red lighting.. good luck.
