CAMCORDERS: Sony Z200 & NX800 Master Class

. . . such a trip with the NX800 this is the horror.Never had this before with any Sony with the old manual 3 step ND button.Variable ND - one of the features I was so much looking forward to- does not prevent overexposure in 80% of all day footage.So you have to fiddle around with this damned small multi dial wheel to adjust AE value , sometimes down to even -3 , depending on content of picture.And this can change very fast , a move of the helicopter is enough and I am in overexposure in a second.For me this is a new , additional , difficult , not handy essential action.And it blocks your concentration completely , affecting the rest of what you have to look after in such a run and gun situation.A helicopter , hike or ship cruise is not a studio.
And I do believe , that for these conditions, the NX800 is not to recommend,

Please don't blame the camera when it is really your lack of knowledge and experience that is actually to blame for the frustration you are experiencing. Please go back and watch my master class chapters on exposure again because everything you need to know is right there. if you were actually following my advice, there would be no need to use the "multi dial wheel to adjust AE value". That comment shows you are not using the camera the correct way. And it doesn't matter how you used to use previous cameras. When you get any new camera you must sometimes change your methods to take advantage of the newer features, technology, and settings.

I've been shooting with the Z200 several times per week since I got the camera and there is NO problem with the variable ND filter or avoiding overexposure. None. I understand that you are frustrated, but I suggest you go out an practice setting exposure on a slow day when you don't have the pressure of shooting from a helicopter, ship, or out in the middle nowhere on a hike. Those are not the times to be mastering your camera. If you take my recommendations and put them into practice, hopefully reaching the point where you don't even have to think about them, all your problems will go away. Good luck.

Hi,
Newbie here with the z200, I am trying to checkout the master class for z200 from vimeo, but during checkout the page just spins, I am using paypal option to checkout. Anyone faced this issue before? new to vimeo also, and i am on the free membership plan, not sure if that makes any difference.

Thanks
