Thanks Chris. Yes I did try, and it worked, but I am always worried that even though a method is working it might not be something good for the camera.

Hi,

I’m facing some troubles with the footage on a job that i will wnd shoting in october. Each footage I get is always with some glitch (disturb) especially on dark area (the light is no set as are conference with differents artist and speech).

Could you please send me some of your camera setting when shooting? i’ve tryed everything, this job could get compromised if i don’t fix this soon, I’m starting thinking that is a problem of the cam but i’m almost sure it’s not a footage of high definition.

now I just reset all settings from the cam and made a try at 1080/25p

you can see it here..

is there anyway in the cam to set up data rate and compression !? it looks really crap i think…

Lighting, Lighting, Lighting.

I downloaded your clip and looked at it.
It does not look bad, it does not seem like you have a prob with the camera.

It’s poor lighting. And poor camera handling.

Shooting in a darker hotel hall will be fine b/c u’ll have lighting on the stage.

But you might want to learn more about the camera settings and what to tweak and what to use to get a picture more to your liking.

Go out side and shoot some pretty stuff using a tripod.

Thanks for the fast answer!!!

I know lighting kighting lighting…

but the problem is that I’m hooting conferences in a place with no light where some video projections are screened and so they don’t want to put up the light cause people won’t be able to see the videos going on.

But you think that at second 12 to14… that glitch on the gray electric plug is normal!? that is my question… no gain no nothing, everything manual…

The other person that is working on this conferences is using a 5d mark 3 and i eat his dust i think in meaning of footage..

so best way to do this job would to make always stable shot ( can’t do anything for the light) if i turn the gain on, it will make worst instead… what you suggest on easy fast post production and exporting for delivering it at 1280×720!?
