Defect on Lens?

To be completely fair, that little hood-release button is hard to find the first time.

So, THE best general advice I can ever give is RTFM. lol
 
I always RTFM - and I read Barry's book. Got the hood off. Still trying to get the lens hood back on. I cannot get the DVX200 hood to fit my DVX100 - I though these cameras were related and interchangeable.

Even after I RTFM - I am confused. Why do I even need a lens hood? Now this is my attempt at an April fools joke.

AFAIK, DVX100 and DVX200 are the EXACT same camera, except the 200 is 100 more...and has at least 4 more K's.

Excellent, analysis and tech brief. I concur. I looked at my DVX100 and it has zero K's - and on the side of the DVX200 body, written in perfectly clear PC technical terms, it states 4K. There must be an internal algorithm inside those cameras that turns the 200 minus 100 and the minus 4K into the same camera. Panasonic is a head of the curve.
 
As we say here in the South, don't you pay them no never mind, Jessica. They are just being jerks.

[ forgive me, gents, but I am operating on the premise that the picture is actually her and, well, you understand. ]
 
Here in the even further south, I'm thinking Cinephile might be a student and really is just learning. Might be a school camera, too. Still...first lesson should be RTFM. Second lesson: keep your head on a swivel. Third lesson: lefty-loosey, righty-tighty. Fourth lesson: the tall leg under the load. The fifth lesson: don't you pay them no never mind. The sixth lesson: know the rule of thirds...so you can break it.

Seventh Lesson: lefty-loosey, loosey goosey. I always break the rule of thirds. I use an algebraic and calculus differential equation that adjusts the rule of thirds for a time and distance continuum. Students especially need to learn this and unlearn the theory they teach in school. This real world. If you want to do cool stuff, you gotta break the rules.
 
That's true: we're way too far south to be Southern. I have to travel up to Houston just to hear any kind of drawl. Also, I haven't been to New Orleans in a long time. That's the only place I care to eat shark.

What I do is just before they're about to record a scene, I turn the camera off. So the audience is forced to imagine what would have been in frame had it been shot. That's, like, a new twist on avante garde. Anti garde.

That is pure genius and beyond Avant-garde. From a workflow perspective alone, imagine how much editing time you can save. My next gig will be shot vid'es (french). Your empty space, void, shooting method will be the beginning of a new niche in video presentation. When Hollywood catches on, it will open the doors for many new and aspiring filmmakers. I hope all students are paying attention. These are some of the things they fail to teach in film school.
