I would really like to know the settings inside the camera to activate the firewire as my other cameras work fine on the same PC port apart from the Panasonic.

It look like it needs activation from inside the camera I get a error message there is a option menu with 1394 Config not sure what number should be next to hit and under neath another one 1394 Gap Count. would really like to get it work before Tuesday via Adobe On Location saving me from using tapes.

Any Panasonic HDX900 experts out there !!!!!!!!!!!

thats what i suspected but if you dont do white balance right the complete video is normally out and i use Premiere pro cs5 fast colour correct then it normally come right.

this instance a certain part of the people that had white clothes on ended up with a purple patch.the blue sky goes completely purple looks like a special effect.

i should used the awb on the camera more accurately next time. i do not have a proper hd monitor and because the view finder is black and white its not an easy task / i am looking at purchasing an hd monitor to sit on top of the camera to make my job easier as its also manual focus all the time but i do make used of the depth of field and back focus setup to make it easier.

it had to happened at some stage,for some strange reason the white and blue parts of my scenes came out purple, is there any way it can be corrected ? and what settings do i change as this week-end i am doing an important shoot everything else is perfect.

thanks Chris

entirely agree it makes awesome video and even still pics but as far as the autoexposure you mentioned on the lens is fine but i am also a still Professional Photographer so fstops and shutters is fine with me.

The problem i sit with is the colour controls is so wide and the levels for different shooting modes can drive you crazy if the camera is only with you for a short period,i use my Canon 7d and the settings is permanent and i can decide what to change and where.I thought when i bought the Goodmans guide my job will be simplified but now i am even more confused with all these choices.But at least now i have people like yourself that can cyber assist me.
