I was out on a whale-watching shoot yesterday and experienced some saltwater damage to my camera. I need to get under the volume control button to clean it out but when I removed all the screws the plastic panel was still stuck to the camera. Has anyone out there had any luck disassembling this...

I can't figure out how to get a timecode readout at the top of the LCD screen. Right now it says "FR 24P" with digits flashing next to it, the way frame numbers flash. Any help would be great. Thank you.

I am trying to burn a rough cut of my project, and in the middle of burning, it stops with an error: "The recording device reported the hardware error: No write current. (0x03, 0x01.)" I have no idea what this means. I have burned many previous cuts of the same footage/project, so I don't...

sorry, didn't have any luck with search. is this normal, or is there a setting in FCP that is causing this? this was shot in 24pA mode. thanks

When I open FCP, it starts to load and then out of nowhere just quits by itself. This has happened on all of my machines (Mac Pro, iMac, Powerbook). It seemed to start doing this when I had my Capture Scratch set to my external hardrive, then opened FCP without it plugged in. Its says that the...

I am editing a baby picture montage, and for some reason, every picture is showing up as being blurry. They are sharp when I have the image in the viewer, even when the playhead is paused in the canvas. But when I play the timeline, they become blured. I know its probably something super...

How would you go about mounting fluorescent fixtures to ceilings and such, without using any kind of stand. I realize that shooting on a sound stage would be a lot easier, but I don't have that kind of money. Any ideas? Also, where could you buy bulbs that are either 3200 or 5600K that fit...

My partner bought a set of wireless lavaliers, and I tested them out on my HVX. The two mics were plugged seperately into the two inputs. When I monitor the audio in the headphones, I can hear both channels; on the LCD, both inputs show activity; when I put the P2 card into my Powerbook, I can...

this may seem like a stupid question, but what exactly is cinema tools used for. Any help would be great.

while working on a recent shoot, one of the black rubber stoppers that go on the end of the P2 card was lost. does anyone know where I could replace it???

Here are some grabs from the first music video I directed the photography for. hope you enjoi. btw, these are raw, untouched images. no color correction or any other adjustments

when I put the P2 card into the pcmcia slot, a little card icon appears on the top toolbar, and when I click on it, I only get the option of powering off the card. Unknown Vendor, and Mass Storage Controller are there, but are grayed out. Anyone ever had this problem?

does anyone know what those tags that are velcroed to the side of the mattebox are?

I'm not sure if this has been discussed before, but woudln't it make sense to just buy an Apple G4 laptop for around $1,500 and buy an external hard drive, rather than spend $1,800 for a P2 Store? It seems like you'd get more for your money that way, obviously not for editing, but for dumping...

I just purchased the Marshall V-R70P-HDA, and the first time I connected it and plugged it in, it has these random flickering lines. I was wondering if anyone has experienced this, if it's normal, or if I should send it back. I using it with the HVX and M2. I figured that it might be the...

I am looking to buy a Marshall on camera monitor for my HVX/M2 camera rig. I searched throughout the forums but haven't been able to find an answer to my question: Is there a significant difference between the Marshall V-R70DP model and the Marshall V-R70P-HDA model? I mainly need a monitor...

On the M2 adapter, where do you measure your focus from? Is it from the middle of the lense glass, or from the groundglass image plane, or...?

umm...^

I'm looking into buying some kind of steadicam rig for my HVX and M2 (when it finally comes) I know that an actual "Steadicam" is out of my price range, but was looking at the Glidecam V-16/20. I also saw that Varizoom had some simmilar products, but I'm not sure if theie products are...

I was wondering how to reset the timecode to get it back to 00.00.00.00. It keeps adding to the previous timecode ever since I bought the camera. Thanks
