Degrees will give you more of a consistent motion blur across frame rates. I would concur that a 180 degree shutter would be a good place to start.

Doesn’t matter whether it is the HVX200 or the A version, it has everything to do with what you have the shutter set at. So what do you have it set at?

Sharing your videos shot with Panasonic’s AG-AF100 large imager HD cinema camera could be your entrée to prizes worth more than $5000! When Panasonic’s “Shoot It. Share It” on-line video contest begins next Monday (Feb. 6th), you will have until March 7th to enter your AF100 video in a competition to win the grand prize of a Panasonic 42” TH-42BT300U Pro Plasma Reference Monitor plus a Vocas Micro Four Thirds to Prime Lens Adapter. A Vocas Matte Box and Rails will also be awarded to each of the six category winners. The contest web site, ShootItShareIt.com, goes live February 6th. So get ready to upload up to five videos (each up to five minutes in length) in one or more of the six categories: nature, short film, commercial, music video, documentary and student. Don’t miss this opportunity to showcase your best work shot on the AF100 and to win a prize too.
Really looking forward to seeing what you folks have been doing!

Hi,
If you are trying to use the connections in the camera for the P2 slots, what ever you put in there has to be a P2 card. It is the only thing that works in the slots. You can output to a Firestor and record to a Firestore, working to just a Hard Drive will not work.
You all may be interested to know that Panasonic was awarded a Technical Emmy last week for the ground-breaking introduction of P2 Solid State recording in 2003.

To me, that looks like the codec board going bad. You should send it in for service.

No body asked what the budget is and I think that is relevant. In the sub $5000 range would be the Panasonic AG-AF100. Nice camera and lots of features for the cinematic world. Has a large imager and you can mount PL lenses to it with a PL adapter, and virtually any other lens with an adapter. Check here for more details, presentation and a link to footage: https://www.panasonic.com/AF100.
Hope this helps,

Hi,
Not sure what happened to your data, but it would be odd that the Drivers erased it. But before you do any thing else contact the Panasonic Service Center in NJ and they should be able to help you recover what was on your card. Do not do any thing else with it. Lock the card. Of course this assumes you are a US person, if not contact panasonic in your country of origin.
And for the future it is always good practice to lock your cards before putting them into any computer.

Hi Mark,
P2 is not dying out. We just introduced the AG-HPX250, the first hand held to have a full 10 Bit Codec to record to and yes it is P2. The SDHC cards are great, but not created equal, you buy your quality and expectations of reliability.
The playback flexibility is un matched in P2, Trust me on this one. AVCHD is great but it is second fiddle to being a Broadcast player format. Good for acquisition for Broadcast but if you need that fast cue up and program play, P2 all the way. Get a demo on the AJ-HPD24. Cool machine!
Best,

Hi,
AVCHD at about 18Mbs will out perform HDV. That is with a professional implementation. This means that the prosumer cameras (DSLRs) are a little handicapped as they do not have the full implementation. At 24MbS, it out performs XDCAM EX. That doesn’t seem like it is possible but you need to understand that the same guys wrote AVCHD that wrote MPEG2 and knew all of its pitfalls. They created MPEG4 that was a vastly more efficient and capable codec.
It is definitely ready for prime time professional work when it is offered in a professional camcorder like the up and coming AG-AC160 or 130, or in the line up of AVCCAM cameras we have today, leading with the AG-AF100.
AVC-Intra is in the same family of codecs with AVCHD, it is the I-Frame version, certainly a great codec and ahead of its time.
So to choose, it goes back to money available and desired feature set. Both work well,one costs more. The AVCHD is not edited natively, per se, it will be rendered to an I frame codec before the edit or after. AVC-Intra can be edited natively.
Both are great codecs. And both are way better than where you currently are.
Best,
Jan

I would have to chime in with Noah on this one. All SD cards are not built equally. The more expensive cards are more reliable and better built. My suggestions are Panasonic Gold at the minimum, but the new Professional SDHC cards that are Platinum in color and are UHS-1 cards are the best. Fast reliable and they have an on-bard processor watching over the integrity of your data.
I am assuming that it is is the camera that is telling you to check your cards. What do they look like in the computer? Can you find the Streaming folder?
