I was just wondering. Would there be any difference in capture quality, if I took the tape from my DVX100b, and used my consumer handheld Sony HDR-HC5 to capture to computer. I don't want to lose the quality of footage, seeing that it was shot with my DVX, but don't really want the time on it...

I have a wedding this afternoon and I was wondering something. I taped some footage at the said church today using my tripod on my Bogen tripod dolly. For some reason the footage is okay, but it's not sharp & crystal clear on details. I used on manual focus, as well as auto focus. Didn't...

Has anyone ever used an ExpoDisc for White Balance with their DVX? Was checking out their website http://www.expoimaging.net/product-overview.php?cat_id=1&keywords=ExpoDisc, and was wondering if anyone owns one, or uses one, and if it was beneficial in balancing over the normal balancing...

I took my DVX100B to my church yesterday to try ot what some of the scene files posted on this website would look like. I have a wedding coming up in a week and a half, and someone told me I should try filming in 30P. I usually shoot in 60i, and on scene file #1 (factory setting) Yesterday was...

I know everyone is posting settings for 24p, but are there any for 60i? All the listed settings seem to be for 24p, and not everyone shoots in progressive. Also how much of a difference will there be if I use those setting for 60i? Whether that is your choice or not, I would like to know if...

Can anyone explain something for, or to me? I am asking opions on another thread about doing audio for a wedding, through the church's sound system, or use the onboard mic & a wireless on the groom. I use the DVX100B camera, and a Sennheisser wireless. Someone told me to use the onboard mic...

I was just wanting to take a poll and get some feedback as to using onboard camera mic with wireless on groom, compared to those that would prefer hooking camera directly to churches sound board via XLR cable. Thanks guys

I have a wedding to do on the 20th, and wondering, is there much difference in shooting normal (60i) compared to 24p? And what demands or different is it in editing? I use Vegas Pro 8. Also can I ask, others that do weddings, do you somehow backup your audio by using an Edirol, or Zoom...

I was wondering. I have a wedding coming up in a week, and it is a Catholic wedding so it may be drawn out, and thought that I would see what changing the tape mode from SP to LP would do in terms of extra minutes on the tape, and the possible change in quality of recording. If I could get...

I was watching a video where they used a PD170 , I believe, and they was telling to set the camera in manual for wedding shooting. These are the settings they suggested 1; Turn Off Auto Focus 2: Turn On Auto Lock 3: Lock Shutter Speed at 60 4: Activate Manual Iris How do you turn auto lock...

Does anyone have any specific setting on their camera that they use for weddings, that they would like to share? And does anyone use 24p or 24pA? If so, is there any differnce when it comes to editing? I use Vegas 6.0 I'm experimenting with the scene file settings menu, and not just sure what...

I did one wedding before using only the onboard mic. It didn't pickup the best that I would have liked, but the Bride & Groom loved the finished product. I just booked another wedding via the first wedding, but would like better sound, especially when it comes to the vows. Could someone explain...

What doe the above error mean? I was shooting a wedding yesterday, and when I changed tapes. I put a new one in, the image on screen went blank and then a solid blue screen, with this error. I turned it off, and was able to tape for maybe 5 seconds, and would do it again. After turning it...

I just got my new 100B yesterday. I have never used this camera before. I have a wedding to tape this afternoon as a favor to the neighbor across the street (no pay). Can the camera be used in auto straight out of the box, or are there some setting that need to be set before the camera is...

When you guys sent in the rebate, did you do it online, or did you print out the downloadable form from Panasonic online and mail it in? Is there a difference in the amount of time, money, and software is recieved, one way or another? The other thing that I am wondering is, the DVX Book. Is...
