I'm shooting with a hacked GH2 (1080p24) and experiencing some horizontal banding when the ISO above 3200. I noticed that if I drop the shutter speed down to 1/25 the banding pretty much disappears. I've alway set the shutter speed to 1/50 when I shoot at 24p. That's the advice given...

I just got a gh2 and a DP4 monitor. When I hit record I loose all the screen information. Is there a way to keep all the information that appears on the camera's lcd outputting to the monitor while recording? I install the VK hack before hooking up the monitor. Would that have any effect? It...

I've got a MacBook (2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo w/4gb RAM) I want to use in the field to dump my EX1 footage onto. The footage will be copied to an external 1tb 7200rpm harddrive plugged into a USB 2.0 port. I'm concerned that when I want to review the footage, that USB won't be fast enough to...

Does anyone know if any of the UMPC (ultra mobile PC) laptops can be used in the field to dump footage from SXS cards to harddrives and look at it? Thanks, Dave

I've got a couple of doc projects where I'm going to be traveling for a couple of weeks at a time. I edit on fcp2 a macpro and don't need to edit on the road but need to dump my footage from my p2 cards to fast external drives and use the laptop to review what I've shot. Can anyone recommend...

I'm going to be shooting a doc on my hvx200a in 720/24p in Africa. I need to be able to dump my p2 and firestore footage onto external drives as I go. I also want to be able to review footage and do some very basic editing. I have limited resources so I'm wondering what is the most basic...

I've got a 720p24 (16X9) sequence in FCP 6 that I want to output as a letterboxed 640X480 .flv file. Can anyone suggests the best way to do this to get the highest quality results? Thanks, Dave

I shot some snowboarding on my hvx at 720P/24P at 48 fps so that I could get slow motion and record sound. I brought the files into FCP 6.0, used the HD frame converter and the slow motion looks great. But when I increase the speed of the slow motion converted footage by 200% so that the footage...

Can I output my FCP 6 (720/24pN) timeline to my hvx200 and see the footage on the LCD? If I can get the timeline to play in the camera I would like to then hook up a SD TV via the SVHS cable to monitor my work and see how it will look on a regular TV. Thanks, Dave

I just got my HVX a couple of weeks ago and I'm editing some footage for the first time. The on-camera mic picked up the sound of the zoom motor when I zoomed in or out quickly. It was quite audible. When I zoomed slowly it was much quieter. On manual zoom I can hear it a little but it's not...
