Rick Shepardson Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I'm looking for a good book for the HDXF900R. I would like to find something that goes over menus and such. All I can find is the 29 page advertisement that Sony considers to be a operations manual. Does anybody have any good leads? thanks Rick SHepardson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do however need to know about digital cinematography....if you don't may I recommend Paul Wheeler's "Digital Cinematography" book.

I'm beggining to learn the basics of digital cinematography; matrix, gamma, roping. The biggest headache for me is working with the post people and finding the best work flow.

Ollie Bartlett Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 PM me your email address... i may or may not have a PDF version of the 'Digital Cinematography' book that deals with the 900. Same applies for anyone really. Ollie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I am about to shoot a period tv drama in Syria next month on a Sony 900. I would like to play with the menus to get a more cine/film ('Kodak'?) look. Do you have a link where I can find these documents? I can't seem to find them myself. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to play with the menus to get a more cine/film ('Kodak'?) look. Do you have a link where I can find these documents? I can't seem to find them myself. Thank you! You can find the F900R listed here, together with many other cameras: http://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/pubs/whp/whp034.shtml Their F900R "film look" basically uses the Hyper Gamma setting, so it doesn't match a particular film stock. I shot some high contrast backlit seascapes at low tide and the highlights held up surprisingly well. However, the gamma I used was intended for grading in post. You need to read notes for the Hyper Gamma curves to find that will work best for you, plus ideally shoot a test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
