Shooting old 35mm prints off wall
I’m shooting old prints to transfer to DVD, and am wondering if anyone else out there has had experience. They’re 35mm, and I’m shooting with a Canon XH-A1. From my test runs it seems that the best results I’ve had are shooting in 24F mode with a shutter of 1/48 to get an almost flickerless image; however one issue I’m having is an inconsistency with color on a frame by frame basis. It’s been pointed out to me that this could be a camera/projector sync issue, though with newer prints I’m able to have the color consistent from frame to frame. Any insights at all would be greatly appreciated!
I should also mention that with the budget as it is, a real telecine isn’t really an option. Basically I’m trying to get the best I can from shooting of the wall.
Thanks!

I guess it depends on the look you want…I frequently shoot photos instead of scanning to give a less digital feel. I also do moves, zooms and focus racks while I’m at it. I use XLH1 but don’t really have a shutter speed suggestion, pretty happy with the results any which way.
