AC160 AG-AC160/AG-HPX250 Owners Manual Download?

[Mike Warren]

Is there a downloadable user manual available for the AC160 and HPX250? My searches have come up empty.

Not yet...they just became available for purchase from BH yesterday.

 

[Mike Warren]

Thanks Phil. Hopefully, someone will post when they are available.

Mmh, take a look here:

AG-HPX250 EJ (European version).

 

[Mike Warren]

Thank you. Downloading now.

Sorry guys, we are caught in a website upgrade with the edict that nothing new can be loaded to the page. And my rants have made no impact. If you need the US version, send your email address to me in a PM and I will do a group upload on yousendit.com for you, say sometime on Saturday.

Best,

jan

Jan- you should try a public folder on Dropbox. Lot nicer interface and cleaner than YouSendit for group sharing.

Any update on the manual?

Unfortunately we are still caught up in the space between the old website and the new. If you need a PDF of the manual, please feel free to send me a PM and I will load one up to the Yousendit site. And Noah the yousendit site works for me as I have to work through a firewall most of the time and the Dropbox doesn't work on the firewall side of my life.

Best,

Jan

Thank you. I want to make sure I did face detect correct. I went to user 2 button, and set face detect as my option. Is that the best way to do face detect?
Just got my ac130.
So I am setting up things.
Anyone else have favorite settings you choose over the default settings.
And I have a silly question, but have to ask, when would you use back lighting?

 

[scapsinger]

Backlighting...used with the auto iris function on a shot that is backlit. Spotlight is the opposite function. It basically balances the auto iris to keep the subject from blowing out (spot) or disappearing into the shadows (back).
