HVX200 test questions

Barnapkins

As you probably know most likely the firewire port will not be covered under warranty as there are too many things that you can do to kill it. I would suggest that you add some questions covering this subject (see manual P-79).

Sincerely, I believe you need to learn a bit more about the HVX yourself. (original poster)

I do not know if you're teaching those kids how to shoot for narrative, but if card space is not an issue, the best mode to shoot on the HVX should be 1080 24pa. More resolution. Better picture.

Also, when handling the HVX, it would be wise to learn about how the scene files settings work. Some preset scene files are better for low light, others for more dinamic range, etc.

Also, don't forget to tell those kids to turn OIS off when on a tripod!

Cheers!

I would definitely discuss camera care with anyone who is checking out the gear for a shoot. Basic things like lens care. Wouldn't it be wonderful to get the camera back without finger prints all over the LCD screen?

Another poster mentioned earlier about packing the gear. Make a one sheet that lists all the gear in the package. I would even take a few snapshots to show how the gear is packed so that they care for it properly and its ready for the next user.

I guess that's not HVX specific. Some structure is key if the gear is to be passed around to many useers. Hope things work out well for you and your students.

SPZ,
We are in fact limited to card space. Which is why i suggested to them to shoot in 720/24pn, mostly because most of the students will be shooting docs. I've also showed them all the other formats and went though every single scene file setting. I encourge them to listen to what i suggest but that they should do what is best for them. But i "Sincerely" appreciate your concern.
