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

    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...

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

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

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

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

    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

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

    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?

    CAMCORDERS: Panasonic X2

    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...

    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...

    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...
