Hi there

More info,problem is coming from the mini plug sound monitor plug from the camera,Sony digibeta.Its a buzz on all sound channels ie both rear and camera mic.
What I dont knbow is it going onto the tape,was has it just started,is it just the mini plug socket?

Thanks

Thanks

So you have to go into the VTR menu to set regen.I think to just have a switch is easier,but no big hassle I guess.

Anyway thanks for the reply,and your time.

Cheers

Ok thanks

Just I was told at the rental place that 216 would get rid of 50htz flories when shooting 29.97,and well yes it did seem to as far as I could see in the eye piece,only had LCD screen and they can be tricky with seeing flicker.

Anyway tomorrow with trusty digibeta!

Thanks again for your time

Thanks for your reply.So higher shutter degree,more open, more blur,more exposure.But even with the shutter off you are getting 1/30 sec shutter at 30 fps?

Would 216 shutter degree give any problems,or not much differnt from 180?

Thanks

But when I switch off the shutter function I dont see this blurred effect in the eye piece ? as you described when using 360 degree shutter.

Sorry if Iam being thick here!

Thanks

[Robin Probyn]

Thanks again for the answers.One thing though,when I turn the shutter off,at the switch in the front,I get more exposure,what is the effective shutter angle when you switch it off completely.Why do you use 172.8 ? at 24 fps

Ever come across Jeremy Pollard cameraman from your neck of the woods

Thanks

Hi Dale

I can go to the rental house to play around,but they wont let me out with the frame converter all day to do as I wish,unfortunately!
So as with 16mm 180 degree is a pretty safe setting.What is the effect of say a 250 degree shutter over a 180,ofcourse you have to open the iris,but apart from exposure would it be any different,shooting at 25 or 30 not highspeed.

Are there some general rules regarding shutter angles ,I read somewhere that a higher shutter degree meant more strobing,I guess this meant at non highspeed sttings.Have you ever shot at 29.97 in Oz? I was told 216 shutter would get rid of the filcker from 50htz flories?

Thanks again

Thanks Leo

I dont own one,I have a digibeta 790Ws,but I like the varicam,and as Iam asked more to shoot HD,the camera would be an option to buy,had been thinking of the Sony 750P,ofcourse the varicam would be useful as I could shoot also other rates eg 30/24,but I think its a bit more expensive.
My problem is Iam in Tokyo and my Japanese isnt really up to scratch when talking with video engineers,and they often tend to go by the manual here,in all respects 😉
So I think info from this forum is a good way to go,I can go to the rental house anytime to have a play also.

What about 60fps,or a very quick run through about shutter degrees?

Thanks again

[Robin Probyn]

So if you shoot 60fps for tv,you can use it as normal ie not slow mo as well as slo mo?
How can it be used at normal speed if the tv system is NTSC 29.97 or pal 25,what is the method of doing this.You have 2 frames for 1 progressively scanned.
Come to that how does 25fps progreesive scanned footage get onto a 50i tv(Pal)I understand the plasma and LCD tv,s are progressive.

Thanks for your time also,you must be ready to bang your head on the nearest wall!!

[Robin Probyn]

Thanks yes that helps,but say for example in the one previous thread to this,some one shot at 60p(fps?) and someone else said they had been told to shoot 60p.So surely this was all slow motion? anyone would no this was a mistake unless they knew it was slo/mo shots needed.
How can you shoot at 60p and it not be slow motion?

Sorry guess Iam a linear thinker! but 60p is 60 fps which in either NTSC 30/29.97 or Pal 25/24 what ever…is going to be slo/mo nes par?

Thanks
