Hi all
Just finished my first shoot with the new ac160a after years with Sony.My work usually consists of very short clips, maybe 120 scenes per day. While sitting in my hotel room last night I thought I would protect all of the files shot that day. Now, it is easy to protect them individually but is there a way to block protect them while leaving the spare space on the card available for further shooting?
I had Barry's book with me, plus both manuals parts one and two. I thought the secret might be the EXEC button having selected all the clips. However, I could find no reference to the exec key in any of the books other than as a block delete. ( not a good plan!)
Any advice on how to do this as a block operation rather than clip by clip? I would also appreciate any reference as to where this might appear in any of the above books. (maybe it is time to see the optician again!)
Regarding use, it is a nice camera. The only strange quirk is how long it takes to establish white balance when in auto mode and moving around in very demanding and changing light conditions (industrial warehousing -mixed low level lighting etc.) However, I can live with it and it is incredibly versatile. It will work nicely as a run'n'gun camera but with the caveat of slow auto white balance.
Re the focussing /zoom fix. As I didn't have the problem obviously, as this is the new model I can only comment as follows: It seems to hold focus when zoomed and doesn,t go wandering off on its own ( so far anyway) The snap focus and zoom peeking focus work as described and are very nice to have.---all in all, I like it. (but help please with file protection without locking the card of course!)
