    CAMCORDERS: HC-X2: Focus much softer in V-Log?!?!

    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...

    CAMCORDERS: HC-X2: Zebra Invalid

    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?

    Streaming with AJA Helo

    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...

    Recording modes and bitrates

    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...

    AC160 Ripple in AC160A footage

    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...

    Workflow for classical music recording session / edit, on a tightish budget

    Greetings! I'm looking for advice on a pretty specific situation that rarely if ever seems to be addressed. Perhaps it's too complicated (which would explain why classical music performances are almost always horribly (mis)synced in films). These days I am occasionally called upon, during...

    Ag-456

    I just found an AG-456 in mint condition in the back of an equipment closet. Anyone have any experience with these? How would you compare the picture quality to the AG-HPX370? Battle of the Panasonic shouldermounts!

    ALL: Loving my 130 for theatrical use!

    OK, this week is the first time I'm using the AC130 for a full theatrical production with complex lighting... and I'm loving it! The resolution is such a huge jump from the HVX/HMC! But most importantly, the light handling - DRS! - is incredible. For a show that would have me needing to...

    ALL: AC130a and 160A announced with upgrade available to current owners

    http://bit.ly/HLc2Wa It seems like much of this upgrade has to do with focus issues… personally I think this is an elegant way for Panny to address some of the disappointment with autofocus without necessarily saying that it was flawed in the current cams. Bravo, Panasonic!

    OK... it's been a while... can we get the AC130/160 subforum raised?

    Literally, in the last week, I've had three people who I recommended DVXUser to as a place for info on the AC series tell me that there is no forum there for the AC130/160. This is ridiculous. If you must, lump them in with the HPX250, 'cause most of the discussion on all three cams has to do...

    AC130: Frequent Card Errors During Formatting

    Lately I've been experiencing a lot of errors while formatting SDHC cards in my AC130. I've never had an error once a card is formatted, and I've seen no errors or problems using the same cards in the HMC150, or in torture-testing them via a computer. The same card will sometimes format after a...

    Please move this forum to "filmmaking"

    Greetings! Another post about the reorganization - but I think this should go back under filmmaking, or at least another one dealing with audio technique should go there. Much of the discussion in this forum has been audio technique, and most gear discussions resolve to "learn better...

    AC130: Please get this thread out of "other"!

    Maybe I'm wrong, but as a current major Panasonic prosumer camera line and very active forum, I think the AC130/160 should not be a sub-forum of "Other Panasonic Cameras"... it should have equal standing with the HVX, DVX, AF100, HMC, etc.

    AC130: Panasonic addresses everyone's main complaint about the AC130 with a firmware update

    Well, maybe not everyone's... I've often said I'm probably the only one who ever used HE mode on the HMC... but AC130 firmware 1.11, announced today, says "Stability of process in HE mode has been improved." I'm happy... anyone else care?
