film rec vs vid rec? mystery solved

[Bruce Greene]

Mr/Ms. Leaking Oil,

Please help me out here. Why are you thinking that I’m mistaken?

Your brief responses don’t give me much to go on.

And I’m curious, I think you mentioned that you own both a Varicam and HDX900. If so, to satisfy my curiosity, could you check the knee menu on the HDX900 and let me know the range of adjustment allowed in the knee point and the knee slope on that camera? Thanks.

Sure . The knee point has a range of 70%-107%. The knee slope goes from 0-99. Anything else you would like to know ?

With a lowest knee point of 70%, that would give the Varicam a significant advantage in exposure latitude when desired.

Thanks!
