I have an FS700 which I got for one huge project back in the summer (right before the price plummeted, grrrr). I recently got an a7RII (which has been a PITA, back and forth to Precision Camera for alleged repair along with the brand new 70-200 f4 E-mount lens, let me know if you want to hear...

I do a lot of time lapse work. I usually use either the a7RII, or a Nikon D7000, or a Panasonic LX100. I also try to do them on the FS700, but they always come out low-res. It looks like it's even fuzzier than 720. What's the deal? The slo-mo on the FS700 is beautiful even when recorded to...

I shot a series of instructional videos. I used the FS700 on internal recording in the AVCHD format. For this particular clip I only need the audio, though I (previously) imported both the audio and video to keep things simple. I'm editing on an iMac using FCPX. There are over 50 clips in this...

Please forgive the posting of this problem on two forums, as it might be the camera and it might be the software. Maybe someone in this forum has had the same problem from this camera and will know how to deal with it. I will describe it somewhat differently in the FCPX forum. I shot a series...

I want to make high-resolution close-up video of moving/falling/bouncing objects. I like the stroboscopic look of high-shutter-speed video for this project, but I'd like to get even sharper. Synchronizing a xenon strobe with the video camera would do the trick, and I have several flash units...

Using FS700 18-200 "kit" lens on A7RII, seems OK but anything to look out for? I got the Sony A7RII last week, and I've been playing around with it and my current lens stock. Along with the camera I also got the Sony EF 28mm f2. I stuck the "kit" lens from the Sony FS700R on the A7RII, which...

I just finished five days of no sleep putting together a big video for a client. However, when I go to try to "Share" it, all the selections are greyed-out except the "Add Destination." I added a destination, but no luck. A smaller video using some of the same material does not have the same...

I was shooting an educational video on canoeing today, and the situation would have been much easier to deal with if I could have been able to keep the FS700 on auto exposure and just dialed in compensation. The water was dark, and the reflection was deep green trees, so if I left the camera on...

NOTE-- I posted a similar message on the GH4 forum, but this one is worded differently and I'm sure will get a different set of opinions because of the different knowledge base of the readers, so it is not really a cross-post. I'm in the midst of shooting a very large job with close to 100...

I'm in the midst of shooting a very large job with close to 100 locations/scenes required. For the interviews and those that require set-up and lighting, and where I have more time, I use the Sony FS700. However, there are lots of situations where a quick run-through with a good camera on a...

I have a few shots in a promo video that will require a stabilizer. I also want a very lightweight portable rig for a low-budget educational shoot that will require a lot of travel a couple of months from now. I'm trying to decide whether to get the CAME-TV 8000, or is the DJI Ronin worth the...

I've got a 27" iMac Core i5 late 2013. I've got it hooked up to two LaCie external drives via Thunderbolt, a 4tb and 8tb both raided down to half capacity. I could only get a 1tb internal hard drive when I bought the iMac, and the drive is already filled up, mostly with FCPX material. I edit...

Just so I can get the concept of look-up tables properly set up in my head, here's what I need to know-- are LUTs simply short-cuts to settings you could otherwise achieve with the sliders, or do they go deeper into the software to things that cannot be manipulated any other way? In other...

It seems that with the 18-200mm kit lens on the FS700, when used toward the telephoto end the autofocus does not work if the subject is closer than about 25-30 feet. I have to test out if smaller apertures are a factor, but mostly it is shooting outdoors, in the shade. When I'm shooting an...

I have a Nikon 70-200 2.8 that I'd like to use with my FS700. I use it with my Nikon SLR bodies OK, but that's a different thing, as I can support it with my hand. As well, the camera bodies are lighter than the FS700, and thus they can be swung around by the lens with less stress put on the...
