Yes, I have had them do a full reset. Back to factory settings.
Imagine an outdoor, full sun image, lens is wide, yet image is very soft, out of focus. Nothing near or far is in focus..
You might re-create this using full zoom, but with lens wide….It’s impossible to look so soft.. no detail
Perhaps one of the ND filters is out of whack? Blurring everything? -
Would uploading still images be helpful?

I suggested checking back-focus and was told it would be done…
But this is an intermittent problem.. 6 clips are BAD then back to good… Sometimes it’s so subtile, I just push ahead and use it…move on… I edit a weekly internet show…52 a year… it’s non-stop.. -
HI,
I’m in Wisconsin.
I’m the editor, speculating at long distance from the cameraman… narrowing it down to a lens issue?
Every so often, with stock lens, the footage is all soft / blurry. This is shooting wide and on a sunny day!
Wide and in full-sun should simply not be blurry….even if your focus is off… Agree?The cameraman is an amateur.. Doing his best.. I’m speculating that he’s been manually stopping the iris down to that tiny, tiny opening just before black… I think that would give a blurred image…
Beside the soft footage, getting a good neutral white balancing is a problem with this camera..

That’s it my friend! thank you very much!

OK I can see that. .. but not in these situations, where piles of different stills need to be custom adjusted.
Thanks for the input Michael! -
New batteries have now been added to UPS (We have a APC 1500). I purchased replacement batteries (2) from local Batteries Plus.
We are up and running. Now to scratch my head about this ProKit issue… -
No. Have not tried Time Machine yet.
I’m currently reading about possible ProKit issues with ProKit v6.0.1 and 6.0.2
I have no idea what ProKit is… But some people are suggesting deleting and re-loading an earlier version.
A couple editors with crash problems are reporting successes doing this. -
No sir, all new hardware.

UPS: With everything on, I pulled plug from wall. UPS switched to Bat power… Monitors and Macpro remained on. Battery level indicator suggested very, very low bat power, but it did it job for now.
