Thanks Rafael! Makes perfect sense. Don’t do a ton of chroma keying and relied on the settings of a friend.

Hey Mike.
The workflow is easy. I shoot to the SDHC card and it wraps it in mov format for use with FCP. I am using Transcend SDHC Cards. These work with the camera and are quite affordable. You can purchase with a card reader, maybe $15 or so for the reader.
I like this camera except for an audio issue. There is some type of grounding issue and it has to do with the optical board or something to that affect. Look lower on this forum for my earlier post. If they fix this issue, the camera is dynamite. If you get the camera with the audio issue, then you have to run everything you record through some type of audio software to get rid of the hiss.

Another person wrote me and they have told me that the US JVC center in California thinks it calls for a new isolator ground to be added to the audio system and optical block to prevent voltage from getting into the
audio.I know what you mean. I shot the narration for a ten part dvd series and discovered after the fact the hum was there. I’m looking to sell this camera and go a different route.

Nope. And you’re right. When you plug in anything it gets worse. JVC in the US says they think it’s something with the front optical cooling fan. I get the feeling they know what it is, but they can’t do anything, about it unless Japan approves. Let me know what happens with yours. Good luck!

I just did this a month or so ago. First, here’s the link to the JVC site
https://support.jvc.com/pro/firmwareupgrade/versionentry.jsp?modelId=35
Enter the info. You’ll then download the files to your computer. Included is a text file that gives you instructions on how to copy the files to your SDHC card and how to upload to your camera.
It’s fairly painless.

Sounds like static. You can hear it with no mics attached. Just put in the headphones and listen. It records this static as well. I have to run all of my audio through sountrack pro noise reduction to eliminate the static sound. Also, the longer the camera is on, the louder it gets.
JVC in California was able to hear it on my camera and several others, meaning they replicated the sound. They know it’s an issue but there is no fix. Very frustrating. I’ve actually gotten five emails from other owners across the globe telling me they have the same issue from reading my original post here.

Yep, gotta do that. I was hoping there was maybe a firmware issue or something easy that might work. Of course dreams don’t come true! Thanks, it’s off to CA for a fix.

Having a similar issue here, but the noise is there with no mics attached, just headphones. Not sure what’s going on.
