1st, I LOOOVVVEEE this camera :2vrolijk_08::Drogar-BigGrin(DBG).
I bought it when it 1st came out and really haven't used it much because I've been waiting on my P2 cards. I work for a TV station in DC and we use the Panasonic 2000 series cameras, I'm not going to say this is as good, but I showed some of my co workers the footage at DVCPRO HD and they were amazed.

When I told them how much it cost, they wouldn't belive me, lol. They couldn't get passed the fact it looked Proffesional and not like a prosumer camera, no offense.

Anyway, my ? about settings is. Did anyone have a change in the look through the view finder after the firware update?

I noticed a slight almost strobe like effect. It is not reflected in the clips by the way. Also I have some settings that I can't access, they are shaded in blue for some reason. I don't know if I did something wrong while updating.

I'm going to go over the instructions manual to see if theirs something in there, but I figured I'd ask here 1st.

My 2nd ? is, Final cut, Via file and transfer, won't recognize my clips when I shoot in any AVC intra codec, as soon as I switched to DVCPRO HD, boom, their it is.

Is their a way around this AVC intra problem?

I was under the impression that if you recorded AVC intra, you could use apples pro-res to import it. I can't get FCP to recognize the clips in order to convert it to pro-res.

Thanks
 
The stuff in blue in the menu means you have some other setting set so the blue stuff is uneditable. For example in the Recording Setup menu, if the "record function" is set to "normal", you cannot change the interval time.
 
Thanks David, I don't recall it doing that before but that makes sense. I've download the avc intra driver but no luck, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
 
All of the software is new or updated.

All of the software is new or updated.

I have a mac book pro, FCP studio 6.0.01 or something like that, I'm not currently on my mac laptop. I do have a current QT player etc...

I'm a member of another website that suggested 2 things.

1. download new p2 cards drivers, i;m pretty sure I did. I'll do it again.

2. Transfer cards onto an external drive 1st then try loading it to FCP, I haven't tried that. I was under the impression that the cards would load from the camera or from the duel adapter, which is how I've been trying to load it.

Thanks David.
 
ok, how do I upgrade it?

Do you have to download something from apple? I have done the software update on the cpu, not sure how you would upgrade to the versions you listed. I thought apple would do it automatically.
