Hi,

Can someone post a list of all the canon dslr cameras with video feature..... i have searched enough... did not find a list anywhere.

Regards

Siva

OOps..... i think i made some mistakes in the post....... those filters 80D and 81B are camera filters...... sorry for the error......

my aim is to correct the color temp of the lights only.........

these bulbs are basically home lights....... we have fixed this on our own fixtures..... the colour temp of the warm bulbs are 2700k and day bulbs are 6500k as mentioned by the manfacturer....... these bulbs are from PHILIPS.......

in our earlier projects we have used these day light bulbs without gels to get a mild green tone.

i was going thru the lee website and found the following result.

The Calculator in the following page says this:

http://www.leefilters.com/lighting/products/mired/

Original Source Value (kelvin) 6500

Converted Source Value (kelvin) 5500

Mired correction value +28

mired of Eighth C.T. Orange (223) +26

Original Source Value (kelvin) 2700

Converted Source Value (kelvin) 3200

Mired correction value -58

mired of Quarter C.T. Blue (203) -35

Hope my tones will be under control...........

thank u nash for the DB....

Hi Andrew,

i do not hv acess to waveform monitor. I will be using a computer monitor (with a tv tuner box to convert VGA to composite or S-video). The DVRack is now shifted to Adobe premeier CS3. Although we have acess to Adobe premeier CS3, i dont't want to go that because of the short Firewire cable and also i have to use to my laptop. The LCD will most of the time give wrong colour info, particulary black and shadows.

Siva

thanx for the reply adrian,

yes ofcourse like u said it varied a lot........ i was very confused while metering and comparing........

although i checked it with close shot only....... to get a proper skin tone in various light conditions like:

full Shadow

Shadow in Foreground

full top light

direct sunlight

im very confused........ it was not reacting well with exposure marks in the lens.....

finally i think i should rely only on monitor....... that is tweak the exposure ring till i get the right one.

ANY HELP ON exposure Compensation of DB (+ or -)

Hi All,

I am about to Shoot with this JVC GY-HD111E.

http://www.jvcpro.co.uk/item?item=GY-HD111E

I would like to know what is the ASA for this Camera at the following Condition:

FPS 25

Gain 0 DB

Shutter Speed 1/50

ND ilter NO

Also i would like to know stop compensation for increase in DB.

The camera specication says

Sensitivity : F8, 2000 lx

2000 lux = 185.8 FC

This gives me roughly 400 ASA at the following setting :

Light 2000 Lux

Shutter Angel 180

FPS 25

Is my rating is correct?

what is the exposure compensation for increase or decrease in DB?

Regards

Siva

Hi all,

Can't i work with a 500GB External Firewire Storage - Lacie, for HD. Initially i would like to work with few minutes footage only. Say I shoot for 10min and edit it to 2 or 3 minutes.

Hi Chris and all,

Im just trying to understand the workflow of HD..... this topic is almost one year old...... but still informative......

While trying to know about the current scenario...... my dealers in india are telling me that we need to have fiber channel card and fiber storage for fcp hd online. Is it true that i need to have such a huge storage system for this. This alone cost about 10,000 US dollars for 1 TB storage (excluding G5 system and Decklink HD dual link).

They also mention that even if i need to do a pilot project or a atleast a TVC..... i need to install all these.

Is there more resources on HD workflow. I did not find any sucess with google.

I don't believe that the D-30 and D-50 are progressive-scan cameras so it is sort of apples and oranges to compare them to consumer cameras that do progressive-scan. On the one hand, with 2/3" CCD's and pro lenses, you'll get a more natural depth of field and better optics, on the other hand, you're talking about deinterlacing the footage and getting certain artifacts in the film-out. Plus if you toss in the HVX200 into the equation, now you've got more pixel resolution plus progressive-scan BUT a fixed zoom lens and 1/3" CCD's...

 

In other words, test. But I suspect it will be a toss-up depending on what particular things are important to you. But I'm sure that the HVX200 will transfer better to film than the DVX100B.

Hi David,

First of all i am very glad to get a reply from u, I have read many useful posts from u........ so thanks for those great posts and reply.

My problem here is that we don't have proper support in our locality..... probably in the whole country........ and the second thing is we also dont have such budgets. So there is no chance for test. My producer will not agree. I have failed in convincing him.

As for now we have made budgeting with Sony HVR-Z1 or Sony D-50. They would fit into our budget. The production is much interested in Sony HVR-Z1, because of the FireWire support which would bring down the cost of editing. They want to skip MY FAVOURITE Sony D-50 with this reason. Ofcourse our budget can afford a Betacam edit also. I have a confident in Sony D-50 results. Buth the thing which bugs me is the Interlaced output of the Sony D-50.

The Panasonic HVX200 has not been yet launched in India. Incase of its availability at the time of production can I go for that. Because its my next choice to d-50, for its (HVX200) Progressive output, color sampling of 4:2:2, more pixel resolution and finally firewire for my producers sake.

Hi all,

I have used the DVX-100B and Sony D-50, when shot with found DVX-100B i found that its not greater than the D-50.

Hi all,

I am about to shoot a short using dvx-100A. Its a PAL Camera. Can i record a portion of one scene in 25fps and another portion in 24fps in the same tape. If possible, how will my edit system will handel those 2 different shots of 25fps and 24fps. I use FCP (Pro).

Also where is the 24p setting located in the camera....... i was unable to find that...... hv just tested one day.

Thanks

Sivanesan

Start in clear filter (3200k) at "0" dB gain. Light, shoot a white card with your zebras set at 70, open the iris til you just get zebras on the card in your viewfinder, then take a reading with your light meter. Adjust the ASA reading on your meter until the iris reading is the same as it is on your lens. Then, do it in all the gain settings, record your findings, then do it in each filter and record those.

 

If you are at the long end of your zoom, you'll lose a little aperture, but these settings should be good through most (or 50%, atleast) of your zoom range.

Hi TimJBD,

Can use this procedure for any video camera..... will it be right....

Hi all,

i would like to hear some good suggestions on the following exposure meters...... i have got the prices from some local dealers and my budget would fit one of the following only.

1) Minolta IVF

2) Minolta VF

3) Sekonic 398

There are some good previous post also but that does not meet my requirements. i would like to buy one that would also be useful for still photography with flash lights as well as cine purpose.

Pls give ur suggestions.

Hi all,

Read somewhere that the slo-mo for sports are shot with normal broadcasting camera with higher shutter speed, which are then played at a different frame rate. This is only a rough idea i have heard. Can somebody discuss much more on this.

Hi,

Is there any formulae for converting the exposure of Film Camera to a Still Camera:

For example, my Exposure Meter Says:

Film Speed: 200 ASA

Shutter Angle: 180 Degrees

Shutter Speed: 1/48

FPS: 24

and my Exposure Meter says it needs f11 for the above............

What would be the Exposure for a still Camera for the following:

Film Speed: 200 ASA

Shutter Speed: 1/125

Thanks in advance.
