Greetings; My UB mode settings are going haywire in the upper left corner of my LCD display. The toggle incessantly back and forth between two numbers. I've turned on the camera any number of times. I pushed the reset button on the side of the cam, with a paper clip, but that didn't help...

Folks; What anamorphic lenses do you prefer for the HVX? Also, do you really need a rail system for support? And what about power options, which lenses work best with the HVX? I'm looking for something that won't break the bank and performs well for both doc. and narrative shooting. Any...

Question: How do I shoot images off a computer monitor? I've tried it, but get that sawtooth edge effect, and the swirling line effect, making the footage worthless. So how do I shoot off a computer screen? Do I shoot in 60i, is that it? Thanks!

For sale: scratch free FS-100, protective clear film still on the front. Firmware upgraded to 4.0 (latest) version. No baloney, this is the same shape as whnen you get it from the store, just no cardboard box. INSTEAD, SOMETHING BETTER: Porta-brace PB-2400 hard shell case with pluck 'n' pull...

Greetings; I'm purchasing Avid Xpress Pro through my school, for home use, and I need to buy a new system. Any suggestions on where to buy a pre-configured system? Thanks, Doc

Ladies and gents, a question: I'd like to capture content off the FS-100 into a networked environment. But when I open Avid the first window that pops up is: OHCI port not enabled. Is there a work-around for this? I'm the only one with an HVX200 who uses an FS-100, so there's no one here to...

What's a good configuration for a PC to edit on with Avid Express Pro? How much will it cost and where's a good place to hook up? P.S. I have an HVX, Firestore and will probably get a back-up card. I shoot interviews, narrative films and, quite often, forget to turn off the cam and shoot my...

Folks, I've got a big interview at the State House tomorrow so I'm a bit on edge. I also just picked up an FS-100 on Friday. Uncontrollable delays. What are the initial settings to shoot in HD1080i or 720p? I'd like to shoot with a tape backup, not a card backup. I also kept getting a "No...

Hey boys and girls! Yes, I'm greener than a popular vegetable, and I have a question. Should I buy a polarizer filter, what a photographer calls a 1A, which will protect the lense of my HVX as well as bluing the sky? A photographer friend said I shouldn't buy a polarizer because digital cams...

Someone must want to pass on their copy, volumes 1 and 2. I'll pay $70.00, including shipping. Thanks!

Hey dudes, I'm a cucumber on here and I have a major set of acquisitions to make in anticipation of doing a doc. I've decided on the HVX200, but it's the peripherals that I need advice about. I need sticks, a fluid head, 7-8 inch onboard monitor and hood (my eyes aren't so good), extra...
