    HPX-170 OIS Question

    Using the OIS, I notice the little hand comes up on the LCD screen. Sometimes part of the hand is sort of greyed out and other times the entire hand is bright white. However on the external monitor, we don't see when the hand is partially 'greyed out'. Can anyone explain this? Does it refer...

    Different HD setings on the same P2

    Hello We were doing some test filming on my HPX-170. We wanted to shoot 5 minutes with 720PN, then 5 minutes with the 720/60P setting. Can we do that? I'm asking because when we got all the videos log and transfered into FCP6 they all showed up as 720/60P DVCProHD Thanks Allen

    I'm confused. but then I'm still waiting to receive my new HPX-170 I ordered Mrch 7th! Ugh! Anyway. I'm hearing that HD doesn't go down FireWire. I'm hearing on the 170 if you're shooting native mode the FW is disabled. I just got my EventDV magazine and inside was an article about this...

    HPX-170 Shooting times & batteries

    Hi All Well I bit the bullet and purchased the 170. Still waiting for it to arrive. However I do have some preliminary questions. 1) Shooting 720p with either a 32gb or 64gb P2, how much recording time would I get? 2) I need to be able to power the camera 7 hours or more. I'm sure the...

    Hi Well the forum did say FCe as well! ;-) Anyway I bought one of those new highly rated Sayno HD1010 cameras. It shoots beautiful HD vids but I wish I coud get it into FCE for editing. This is my first foray into HD. First test I shot 1080i. Got a high speed USB card reader, put the SDHC...
