Ok.....I'm going to try and translate and answer.

Yes.....good settings are important.

Yes.....setting your fstop to the appropriate setting based on sunny day vs. cloudy day is important.

Proper understanding of the settings on your DVX will certanly elliviate some of the interlace, jaggies and jitter problems. Much has to do with shutter speed and fps and that is closely related to speed of panning and/or camera movement.

If all else fails......READ THE MANUAL.......better yet......READ BARRY GREENS BOOK.

Search for pan times shooting in 24fps, that will give you a good start point.

Get Barrys book as Marlene mentioned and it will help you get your settings down, first decide the look you want, then how you want to create it. You have two options, shoot with fairly standard settings then cc to your look in post or set your camera to the look you want.

Get yourself a good polarizer for shooting outdoors.

Go ahead and shoot your feature, you will learn an incredible amount along the way.
