  • “rolling shutter” on HVX-300?

    Posted by Mark Shepherd on February 24, 2009 at 1:18 am

    I need a professional 1920×1080 camera to shoot high end RED CARPETS . The problem is “rolling shutter” which occurs with CMOS cameras that encounter many flashes from still photographers going off, which causes the frame to become unacceptable with artifacts. I shoot at the Cannes Film festival with about a hundred or more still photographers in the BG pointng their high power flashes directly at my lens. Does the AG-HPX300 have the CMOS chip? Would I have the rolling shutter problem with this camera?

    [Mark Shepherd] “Does the AG-HPX300 have the CMOS chip?”

    It has CMOS…yes. But instead of one big CMOS, it has three smaller ones, kinda like having 3CCD. But, CMOS being CMOS, there is rolling shutter.

    [Mark Shepherd] “Would I have the rolling shutter problem with this camera?”

    The 300 has Rolling Shutter.

    Look at the HPX-500. DVCPRO HD, but it does 1080. If you need AVCIntra, then look at the HPX-2600. This is a very versatile camera.

    I would concur with Shane that if the rolling shutter artifact cannot be lived with. I mean there is a fix you can apply in post on the singular annoying frame, or frames, then a CCD camera is the way to go. The HPX500 is the next camera up the line, and the next one up with AVC-Inta is the HPX2700.

    Best,

    Thanks for the info. I can’t seem to find any info on the HPX-2600
    Does the Panasonic 500 camera shoot 1920×1080 in 24p?

    There is no such camera as the HPX2600. Shane had a typo, it is an AJ-HPX2700.

    DVCPRO HD has a prefiter in 1920 X 1080, making it 1280 X 1080 at 60Hz or 1440 X 1080 in 50Hz. AVC-Intra, available on the HPX300 and the HPX2700 has a full raster recorind at 1920 X 1080.

    Hope this helps,

    [Mark Shepherd] “The problem is “rolling shutter” which occurs with CMOS cameras”

    Hi Mark,
    CMOS cameras don’t have to have rolling shutters. There are some CMOS sensors around that have a global shutter like CCD, it comes down to the manufacturer as to how they equip their products.

    I think Shane was referring to the HPX-2000 and not the 2700.

    Here’s an article for you to consider:

    Hi Jeremy,

    The HPX2000 has to have a board added to get the AVC-Intra, where it is in the HPX2700.

    Sorry. More of a “forgot the model number” opposed to typo. But same thing.

    The 2700 camera is the most versatile HD camera out there…IMHO. And I am a POST guy.

    Yes, we paid $3,000 for it.

    How do you mean? Just curious.
