Test Shots with HVX200

[Chris Elley]

As many of you know, the zoom is truly manual; the focus is not. However, both are good. What you do is what you get with the zoom. There’s no lag; a characteristic missing from all the electronically controlled zooms out there.

Even though the focus is an infinitely spinning ring, it is better than any I’ve used. It also drops down into macro mode. The focus assist is exactly like the Z1U, except that it can be used during recording as well.

I know there were more questions about the night settings and my settings. In another string, Toke pointed to auto focus and image stabilizer as possible culprits for some of the strange issues I reported on the other string. Experimenting with shutter speeds will be next on my list for shooting at night. Daytime shooting will not require as much practice on my part, as it has had wonderful results.

I will check back in as I have progress to report. Even though I want to experiment continually and report to you guys, I’m caught up getting work out the door.

Thanks,
Chris

Blame the EU for topping your sync at 50….

Thanks – sounds like the issue with the Dell is a very different problem again.

I’ve only used the HDLink, not the AJA box, and I like the picture on the HDlink very much, but even though it was my suggestion to BMD to include an interlace mode, I’ve still never managed to get the interlaced mode to work.

Yeah, sure, big bad EU is forcing Panasonic Japan to cripple their product and to sell it with higher price in Europe…
You forgot the smiley…

Sensing some animosity here 🙂 Are you listening Panasonic? I’m guessing the wait list won’t be quite as long here in the UK.
