Hi guys,

Ive recently pulled my old HVX out and keen to put it back into service and was wondering what scene file setting people were using and what is recommended. I never really got my head around the scene file settings when I was shooting with the camera previously so I appreciate any assisted direction I can be given :)

Im looking for a low noise, good DR setting to start with so I'm currently using the cine D with a bit lower chroma level and +1 coring & +2 Master pedestal, but unsure if the settings are complimentary or not.

Will continue to experiment and would love some advice :)
 
Using B-Press for your gamma will reduce noise over the Cine settings and for me, I like the contrast.

The looks you can achieve with these cams is so diverse, much of it depends on what-where you are shooting and your message. When I first got my 170, I did a day of experimenting. I would pick a setting with a bit of every color, and shot some clips with different scene files. After unloading them and viewing, I would repeat after some tweaking. It was a great way to learn the cam and learn how the different scene file settings effect the image.

Thanks guys,
Ive been doing a bit of experimenting. I was always able to get great images out of my HVX previously but just getting more into really fine tuning things.
I have my Af100 set up just right but finding the HVX doesn't respond in exactly the same way.

Now using
B Press
Cine Like
Detail -2
coring 0
Chroma level -2
Master pedestal -3

Continuing to fiddle :)

I did see this video the other day http://vimeo.com/19380961 and was really impressed. Now can some one tell me the way to shoot rain as its shot at the 18 sec mark? Is that a use of a high shutter speed or frame rate or both? Or am I just over complicating it?

Thanks again
