Synchro Scan Question for the Pros

[AGMedia]

In Barry Green's HVX video he describes two separate functions for the Synchro Scan on the HVX -- one for the video mode and one for the film mode.

On the HMC there aren't two modes -- and I've found that the synchro scan setting appears to be a custom shutter speed option in certain shooting modes (or maybe all of them -- I didn't look).

My question for the legendary gurus of this forum -- is it actually a custom shutter speed option? And other than for filming a TV screen (that I don't intend to do), how can I use this tool for the best results with the HMC?

All my thanks!

I'm no guru, but I used this feature for this:

It's basically a very big TV screen based on LEDs which spin around, and the camera did a great job with it.

Not sure what else you would use it for though!

All my thanks!

Several months back I was tracking all the hmc sample footage on Vimeo -- and I saw that an many of your other videos. You've got some great videos! Your videos are among those that convinced me to take the HMC150 seriously!

Best regards!
