I just noticed that there's a new firmware update: Ver. 1.84- Improvements 1. On rare occasions, the operation of REC button on the unit or a wired remote control may no longer have any effect. This problem is fixed. 2. If the card is ejected from the main slot during the simultaneous...

I just happened across this video on YouTube. It looks like someone edited together sections of a tutorial series that Bernie Mitchell did on the DVX200. There's some good info in there for those new to using the camera but some of the content is kinda odd...

I am just curious if anyone else has had issues with the results of white/black balancing at the same time. I have found that the white balance doesn't always work if you also black balance in the same instance. If you white balance separately it seems to work fine. From Barry's e-book...

While this doesn't fit the carry-on requirement from the OP I thought this may be of use to others. Recently, the TSA changed the rules and now requires that any electronic item larger than a cell phone be removed from its case. So rather than go thru the hassle of taking all of our gear out we...

I am not sure this will fit all of that gear but this is what I use and there is some room for accessories: Porta Brace

Hi All, I just noticed that Panasonic put out a new firmware update today. Here are the details: http://eww.pass.panasonic.co.jp/pro-av/support/content/download/EN/ep2main/soft/upgdvx200_e.htm Ver. 1.83- The camera may freeze if you perform a Zoom operation while other menu settings are set...

When shooting with our 5D MkIII, I will often keep track of clip numbers I like to make finding them easier when editing. After ingesting the footage from the DVX200 I am finding that the clip numbers do not match. For example, today I was shooting an interview for a product overview video and...

7DDude, I have the same problems you have mentioned. I am embarrassed by some of the footage I have had to use recently. I'll admit that I am a novice using this caliber of a camera (my only other experience was with a Canon XA-10 outside of the 5D MKIII). I expected a learning curve but...

Thanks for the suggestion Mapper65, I DO like the new GH4 scene file with the "natural" color setting! The weird skin tone is gone. I must have done something wrong on a previous test because it didn't stand out first time around. The WB issue still persists though. Easily corrected in post...

We recently upgraded to the DVX200 from a Canon XA10 for better image quality in our b-roll footage. Most of what we produce are corporate how-to and product overview videos that involve a lot of outdoor run-and-gun style shooting. So far I am struggling with getting an accurate white balance...
