Color Bars on HPX500

[Dave_LeMay]

hey does anyone know how to change the bars from EBU to the SMPTE? cant find it anywhere in the menu.
Also I have another question, shooting a TV series on 2 of these cameras and the Production company bought them with the entry level Fujinion lens, which breathes like hell and not that wide. Am looking into a better lens like the HA13x4.5 but that is mega bucks anyone know any other options for wides? I am am trying to get a price on a Pro-35mm adapter but thats is mega buck so any cheaper 35mm adapters? we have a nice set of Nikon lenses so that could work???

any help appreciated.

the letus relay plus the extreme or ultimate is a much cheaper solution than the pro35. image is solid.

Dave... Try focusing on the background object and then use the macro adjustment ring to rack focus to the closer object. It takes a bit of practice, but it works in a pinch.

switch camera to 60 hz, and when you turn on bars, you will get smtpe, calibrate monitor and then switch back to 50 hz
