I guess I should mention, I'm on the long end of the lens... the X2 calls this distance (reported focsl distance at sharpest focus) 89 feet, while my ac160 and 130 call it 68 feet. These are stills, of course, but for both modes I actually shot sweeps across the focal range, and i verbally...

Can anyone recommend a better sharpening plugin for FCPX?

Yes, I'll start testing that. Or is the better workflow to do it in post?

Hmmm.... so that setting (detail?) is affected by the gamma setting?

Greetings! I must admit I'm new to V-Log, so I may be missing something, but... When I shoot in v-log, the image is much softer. If I keep the same lens settings, and change gammas, I can achieve a much sharper focus in any other mode than v-log. Text that is easily readable in others is...

Oh... just found it! Right in the manual (but only under the GAMMA menu!) - Zebra is disabled when using v-log.

Oh... no Zebras with vlog!

Howdy! It's been a while. I'm working with the X2 for the first time, and can't find a quick answer in manuals or searches. When I try to turn the zebras on, the camera reports "INVALID". In the menu system (IE ASSIST, iirc), all the zebra options are greyed out. What am I missing?

On the AC130/160 for example: MEMORY CARD ACCESS LAMP lluminated orange: Reading, writing possible Flashing orange (slow): Accessing memory card Flashing green: Memory card write-protected, the slot with [CHECK CARD.] indication, no space left on memory card Illuminated green: Other than...

I can't check all my cameras now... but I'm pretty certain that most of my dual-slot cameras (even back in the P2 days) have had yellow/orange flashing lights to indicate the active card. This is especially important in hot-swapping modes. This is NOT the tally light, and its different...

Greetings all! I am trying to find the absolute simplest setup to capture the rtmp stream from an AJA Helo. Especially via a Mac. I would like to basically set up a streaming server that does nothing but dump the stream to a file, whenever the Helo starts streaming. What's the simplest way...

Help! Need XL-88 or CT-DE15 or similar AES breakout for 788t Wednesday in Los Angeles! Can anyone help? Cheers, Barry

I am very excited to see the DVX200, but looking at the docs, I have a few questions - perhaps feature requests... Is it true that there are no 30p (29.97p) frame rates available in AVCHD? Is it true that there's no low-bitrate MOV/MP4 option (e.g., 21 or 25 Mbps - the AVCHD codec, but in MP4...

Greetings! Are there any other Recording Academy voting members here? An album I recently recorded has been nominated for three Grammys (Best Classical Compendium, Best Small Ensemble/ Chamber Performance, and Producer of the Year). Please consider it for your vote! "Woman at the New Piano"...

Greetings! I have just reviewed some footage from today and have found a very strange problem... Strange rippling across the image, which looks like waves in the floor, or clothing. This seems to happen most on the long end of the lens, and in brighter areas. Happened while camera was on a...
