Is there a list of lenses compatible with Steadyshot in the FS5? I've tried both Sony FE35mm 1.8 and Sony PZ 18-110 on the camera but Steadyshot function is greyed out in the menu. I'm guessing this is because the lenses aren't compatible or there is a process or setting that I'm missing. Any...

Have any C100 mkII owners had real world experience with the ftp function? Interested to hear how it performs sending clips remotely to a ftp server. Problems? Tips? Workflow? I occasionally send footage to TV newsrooms but at present, import to Avid, edit a compilation, export a compressed...

I'm attempting to write back to a formatted P2 card from Avid Media Composer (Output - Device - P2) but I'm getting a "write protected" error. The card is not write protected. Tried a different card, same thing. Anyone encountered this problem? Thanks, Mark.

Looking for a second HVX200 or HVX202 or HPX170. PAL versions only. Must be in very good to excellent condition. Will accept sub-standard tape drive as I almost exclusively use P2. I'm in Australia but willing to import. Please reply to this post or email me if interested. Thanks, Mark...

I work almost exclusively with P2 so recently sold my miniDV deck. Now for the first time I'm attempting to capture miniDV via firewire to Avid Media composer on my PC. Absolutely no signal. Windows not detecting the camera and Avid does not have the option to configure for HVX 200 (which is odd...

Is there a way to output from HVX200 to a HD plasma monitor and see the footage in HD? Unless I'm missing something the camera only has an RCA video output which I assume carries the pictures downconverted to SD analogue. The picture on the plasma certainly doesn't look like the 720p I shot!

For sale from Australia is a 2nd hand Equinox Pro 10 mechanical housing for the Panasonic HVX 200/202. It's a discontinued item but in most respects identical to the HD10. The unit has served me well for almost a year. Water tight, fully functional, great footage. Have since bought a different...

I've been using a HVX200 / Equinox Pro10 rig shooting tourists swimming with Sealions and Southern Bluefin tuna. The subjects are unpredictable so there is little chance to compose shots. To keep things simple I keep the zoom wide and focus on infinity. Great results in standard def but now the...

My HVX200 defaults to Film Cam mode when powered back on. Is there a way to make Video Cam the default? This is not normally a problem as I usually shoot in Film Cam but when I use my underwater housing and the client wants Video Cam (to be consistent with the project) I have to load the camera...

I am new to using MC 4 and will mainly use a P2 workflow. I've brought P2 files (DV) in to a bin and then consolidated (so that I don't have to edit from the card). What I've noticed is that every clip originating from P2 in my timeline has a blue dot and needs rendering. Clips originating from...

Hi, I'm building a new PC to run Avid Express Pro HD with P2 (mxf) files. Would appreciate advice on suitable graphics card. The Avid site lists system requirements but not specifically for P2. Also I'm reading in the Avid forums that DVCPro HD is not always stable in Avid (depending on the...

Greetings from Downunder! I'm a new HVX200 owner on a steep learning curve (transitioning from my old Sony PDX10). Loving the camera but there's a lot to get my head around concerning P2 management and Avid workflow. I'd like to upgrade my PC with a PCMCIA slot (not a USB adapter) and would...
