[scott davis] “- Lost frames during the load of the footage when it went in between P2 cards pretty regularly. Might be the edit suite, but it was too consistent to be a coincidence.”
This is why copying files is much nicer than feeding video stream over firewire.
If there’s an error in file copying, it gets done again, as opposite to if there’s a drop in video stream, the camera does not know that and does not rewind and play it back again.
[scott davis] “- FOCUS ASSIST!!!!! This thing rocks. It looks like it does a digital zoom and enlarges the portion of the center of the screen to help with fine-tuning focus. Very nice feature. Only thing though… it didn’t seem to work unless shooting in either 1080i or 720P, any frame rate. You can’t use it if you’re shooting to tape. Hmm. That’s odd.”
Quite logical I think. There’s not so much resolution in the picture to zoom in with SD.
