Hi grin!
I just had a meeting with the official photographer of the event and he mentioned the light as a potential issue on the all evening. We may not have the minumum ideal 5600 kelvin ideal to show true or acceptable colors. Where do I stand with the Z1 with at least 50 fps?
ciao
Txs in advance

Hi Todd
Thank you for you replay

I was hoping for 25 with subject still/talking or walking right towards me. Is going to make any difference or no matter what I’ll experience some king of motion smear? But I have to be honest I’m sure that I’ll shoot something with motion smear after all it’s a fashion event, loud music and drinks it’ll be ok……. What I dont want it’s to be a gigantic smear off course!

The more I think about it the more I’m convincing myself that manual may be the better way to go.
In the eventuality that I’ll have to turn on the gain because of very low light I made a change to the settings vaue to high:6db and low:3db to avoid damaging the footage behyond repair. I’m only hoping to keep an acceptable medium between focus,depth and true colour and the only way to start is WB whenever I change shoot location. I’m in a PAL world so would you say that as safe line I should keep ehutter speed between 25 when very low light or 50 in better conditions.

Rick and Dan
Thank you for your suggestions
I agree with both of you, in manual I can adjust to every situation and in auto I can run into some kind of trouble for sure.
I have to say that the manual otion is ahead at this point in time.

Hi Rafael!

I’m always around, almost every day from home or work I’ll make sure to log in and read a couple of posts sometimes few hours at the time even if I’m not experiencing that particular situation. See Rafael for me the COW it’s not only somewhere I can get help but its a fantastic place to study and learn from real pros. So unless I can say something that makes sense I usually shut up and pay attention to my surroundings… (I’d pay a membership for the cow, that how much I apreciate everybody’s time and effort around here)

Enough of this mumbo jumbo..
I have to start with a thank you for offering your toughts Rafael. My plan at this stage is as follows:
A- Z1 exposure in auto and myself on zoom and focus
Besides the catwalk most of the shots will be hand free and as you know the Z1 has a couple of options sor stady cam, very usefull indeed.
B- Z1 FULL AUTO
C- No cam at all and myself enjoying the evening with some friends having a couple of drinks…. temptations temptations !!! ha ha ha this time I may enjoying the Z1
