New Sony FDR-AX100 settings
Hoping for some tips and advice…
HELP PLEASE.
I just bought a new Sony cam, model FDR-AX100. SO MANY settings and not enough time to experiment. I will be video taping a high school play in a few days and need advice on some basic trouble free settings.
Not interested in 4k yet. I just want basic normal HiDef. So I can easily edit it with my Sony Vegas 13 Pro.I am used to using my Canon HV20, Then capturing the video tape to PC with firewire and editing with Vegas pro 13. And then, creating Blu-ray’s and DVD’s. This cam will be my backup second cam for this project.
On my new Sony FDR-AX100, there are 2 different choices for HiDef, and then many choices under those, example, 60i 60p and 24p and then AVCHD – FX, FH, HQ and LP.
Should stay away from some of these, or definetly use certain ones??With my old Canon, I would go to manual exposure to get a better picture. Should I consider doing that with this new cam? If so, is there and easy way?
I want to make sure I am able to edit with my (not so new) i7, 8 gigs ram PC.
I have a few SD cards:
SanDisk Extreme PRO 64GB SDXC Flash Memory Card with up to 95MB/s
and a few,
SanDisk Ultra 32GB SDHC UHS-1 80mbsAny tips on how to see if there are full, (while in cam) and how much can really fit on these?
Thanks in advance,
I planned on experimenting with all of this but ran out of timeRon

For HD only, I would just shoot in 60P AVCHD-FX (24mbs). The SD cards will be fast enough to record to.
