Favorite Settings

Just got an HVX-200 and I have a shoot coming up. I'll be shooting in 480i /24pa for this one. I don't have any P2 cards yet. Just wondering if anyone has some "favorite settings" that'll help get the most out of the adjustable settings (detail, gain, knee, etc.) of the camera. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

It might help if you gave some details about your project, and some idea of what sort of style you're going for. A lot of looks can be achieved with the camera - and they're not all right for every project.

Speaking of KNEE, forget about the AUTO setting. Ditto for AWB.

That is, unless you enjoy sudden shifts in your lighting and color temperature...

Details of the shoot: I'm shooting at a company's National Sales Meeting. I shoot during the day, edit at night and at the end of four days have a finished video. It highlights the events throughout their meeting. a.k.a. a "Happy Face" video. A song that fits the theme is chosen and I edit to that.
The style is usually some slo-mo mixed with some swish pans of banners/people/events, rack focusing, etc.
