Quick First Test Shoot with 150

[Brad_C]

I needed to shoot something so I could start messing with the camera more. Saw that my little girl was coloring and thought it would be fun capturing her doing that. This video isn't to be taken seriously. I know there are shots that are too long, and shots that are repetitive.

Hey guys,

Very nice - I loved it . Looks like you're using a 35mm adapter?

Thanks man. Nope no adapter. Positioned back a tad, zoomed in a little bit and just using manual focus bro! That's it. :thumbup:

Scene file 1- stock factory settings. Just white balanced and exposed properly. (well, at least I thought so.:huh ha ha

Like I said, I haven't even had time to tweak any setting too much. I frame the shot, set white balance, get my exposure straight, and just get creative. Sometimes I think we worry about too many things. I don't mind tweaking stuff, but I would rather just shoot. I really think the only setting I will be after is finding some sort of happy medium for a setting between the 150 and my friends HV30 that I'll be using as a B cam for projects.

I hear you. I think you'll learn to love the scene files, though. My favorite is F3 "Spark" .

I haven't read up too much about it yet.

Is "spark" like the boosted color levels file? aka "vivid" mode.

 

[Allen Ellis]

I hadn't done any reading, either just flipped through them outside and spark really popped the colors nicely for me. You can poke around in the scene file setting, it does add some chroma and I think some detail, too. But I'm not positive.

According to the scene file handbook, SPARK 'creates a better "resolution", "color level" and "contrast". Your image will become brighter with richer colors.' It goes on to say that it is used to highlight subjects at weddings, etc.

In practice, it bumps up detail and chroma level.
