I have outfitted my 200 with the best gear from Zacuto. Gratical HD viewfinder, shoulder mount, wooden handle, Z Trigger bracket and it all works great but... I am still unable to find a solution to attach a grip to start and stop recording and zoom. Do you folks have any ideas of a third party...

I have outfitted my 200 with a great Zacuto Gratical HD viewfinder and nice handle and shoulder pad. I have yet to find a good solution for a zoom control and record start stop. The Zacuto handle is great but no start/stop or zoom. Tried a Varizoom but it was too awkward. Wood Camera has a great...

If there is one item I cannot understand about this great camera is auto iris. I shoot a lot of night football games. It is run and gun so I use auto iris. But even though I know the scene is dark, the iris will not go to the "open" setting. For decades I have been using a "broadcast" camera...

I can't seem to figure this one out. When I plug my headphones in, the volume adjust appears. How do I return to the main screen? After a bit it does return but I need to tun it off much quicker. Thanks. Tom

I purchased the Zacuto Gratical HD viewfinder and shoulder mount plate along with the pistol grip that came with it. Great product and works very well. Here is my problem. I also purchased a Varizoom pistol grip PG-PZ. It was really made to mount on a pan handle on a tripod. It is just too...

Here is what I don't get. I just returned from a shoot and had the camera in auto iris. I was shooting someone at a podium and it looked dark but the iris was not all the way open. That isn't right. So I threw it in manual, opened it all the way up and it still looked dark. Then I went full auto...

I just returned from shooting an interview and I am puzzled by the actions of the auto iris. The shoot was inside, the subject was lit with two Lowel LED's. Just for the heck of it I threw the camera into auto iris, zebra at 80%. no zebra was showing and I thought the image was a bit dark but...

OK...I am starting to know my way around this camera. But how do I enable time-lapse? Cheers. Tom

Boy, am I showing my lack of knowledge on this site. But that is the only way to learn right? For the life of me I cannot find the method to change to variable frame rate. I am shooting in FHD 1080p 59.94. How do I overcrank or undercrank? Cheers. Tom

I just updated to the latest firmware and noticed that auto shutter is on even though in the auto sw menu it is off. What gives? Cheers. Tom

Thanks in advance. This is a fantastic resource. I have had the camera for a few months and am very pleased. But, I am having trouble understanding the concept of loading additional scene files. I downloaded the new ones from Panny and one from Barry. Now what? I plead ignorance. Do they overite...

I am starting to really enjoy this camera but coming from a broadcast shoulder mount camera I am having trouble. I have been looking at the Zacuto rigs. Expensive but might be worth it. My question: The Zacuto EVF takes either a SDI or HDMI input. How to you get the Zacuto EVF to show the camera...

This is my first purchase of a non-traditional camera. I have alway used a shoulder mount camera with a removable lens. Last one was a JVC 700U with Fuji glass. I do mostly sports shooting so I figured the DVX-200 would make a great run and gun camera. But, I am not used to the iris on this new...
