what is the recommended setting for getting a still photo with the HVX 200?
should i just roll on 720 6p and in FCP make a still?
or should i do an interval recording?
or something different?
I'd use 1080 for max resolution. It will still stink for prints. thats equivalent to a 2.1 MP camera. For prints most people use 10+. You can extract still in post.
Make sure you are in a progressive mode, I would go 1080, and I would also crank up the shutter speed. 1/48 (which is shutter off) which is what we use normally at 24p motion recording is too slow for most still work, I would def crank it up to 1/125 or 1/250 or even more light permitting. That is only if you are wanting to pull stills and don't care about using the motion.
