HD 100 low battery

[Rumpelstilzchen]

Hi! (- and hello, my first posting here)

About two weeks ago, it was the first "real" usage of the HD 100, i saw
the "battery low" warning in the viewer. It was the very last scene, only the closing/opening of a cabrio-roof and a girl inside the car,
some close ups were already made. I shot the scene with the warning in the viewer - a minute, and it was done - but i was badly surprised
as i wanted to look at the scene for capturing the next day:
No video !!- only a blue screen was captured, but timecode and sound is there.
- Has happened this to anybody else to this moment?

else: All fine with the camera, but still i have some problems with capturing.

How much was the gain at in this particular shot?

I can see 2 white points at the end of the highway... are those dead pixels or just 2 light spots? Was that the first time it happened with the low battery? I would recommend you to report to JVC! Please, not another issue...

It is hard to tell, but there seem to be several dead pixels in that shot - Near the bottom of the left side carriageway and 1/3 of the way up on the right.

Yes. Several dead pixels, but no split screen!
I think the European models skipped QC to rush to market at the beginning of August.
The dead pixels aren't a problem. Rumpelstilzchen, send me an email or private message and I will tell you the procedure to clone them. It will only take about a minute, but I need you to promise not to publish the key-combo to get into the advanced menu.

Hi!
@Mezelf27: Sorry, i don't remember exactly, but i think it was +9dB
- else: Lens (nearly-) full open, shutter was at 1:12,5s. Extracted during a very fast zoom towards the car-lights.
... yes, in this shot i can see a lot of small white dots, but i think they are "natural". A few minutes later i can see hundreds in the dark-orange sky: the stars! - I couldn't find dead pixels in other shots to the moment.
@dashwood: Maybe i'm one of the first who got the cam in germany. I know the company i bought it had some telefone calls with JVC-germany, who kept the cam for a day for testing and QC.
(Now i have the cam for 3 weeks, the first job is done, and i have the time now to "learn" my camera!!
