AStar Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Anyone have a brief list of things to watch out for or avoid while using the SDX-900? I am shooting a short drama on one soon and have read the Goodman's guide on it, but was wondering if anyone experianced with the camera has any useful insights. Anything to do with setup, detail settings, gammas, back focus, operation, audio, ect, ect. I read the previous thread about auto knee and it was helpful.

Mitch Gross Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Look down to the bootom for the forum discussion areas. We now have an area specifically for the discussion of this camera which will be monitored by Jan Crittenden, Panasonic US Project Manager for the camera.

Leon Rodriguez Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Be sure that you have a PA stand by the camera at all times while on location. It seems to be a camera targeted by knowlegable thieves. Every DP's nightmare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Morrison Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 The mode check button is your friend, especially if you are renting the camera and don't know what the camera was last used for. mode check tells you the record mode where the audio is being controlled from... little things that can keep you from having to reshoot stuff.

Guest mbird26 Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 to avoid this--find a rental house that isnt just a box house -for example--a place that rents for broadcast and jumps into the eng efp game--is usually a different breed--find a place that really listens and knows really how to set up a camera--and how to explain what the difference is between cameras--in the lucky instance that you can find a user as well as a sales person--will really help you--so what im saying is --find a place that can set up your camera close to what you want--or in a lucky case --exactly like you want--and yes these places exist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Crittenden Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 So where are you going to be shooting? NY? LA? Perhaps we could point in a positive direction on your rental. Best, Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
