  1. Panasonic became aware of this problem, it is not electronic, it is a problem with the filter wheel turning - in your case the ND filters inside the camera, the outside ND selector turns but has lost contact with the internal filters ( the camera still gets the signal on which filter you have selected from the outside dial electronically! ) Panasonic replaced the dial when this happened to my HDX900. The work was done at a Panasonic service center in LA.
  2. Here is the label on the stock! Thanks to all those who got me some information on this film. Now to see if it's usable
  3. Here is the label on the can. Thank you for all who responded on the matter of this type of 500T. Now to find out if it is still usable? index.html
  4. Does anyone here know anything good or bad about this stock? I have this stock thats been in the freezer for 7 years. I can't find any history on this 500T. Got this years ago for my Eclair NPR. On the silver kodak can reads: KODAK 500T SO-579 16 2R 7620 (3000) El C 0579 004 1102

    Super Wide Problem

    So if you are shooting with a none widescreen betacam camera (4x3) and have a crossover lens for dealing with the 20% loss on the wide with a widescreen camera shooting 4x3, leave the crossover off! or the doubler crossover will vignette your lens on your 4x3 only betacam. I think that what I wanted to say Broatch

    Super Wide Problem

    I think the problem might be that the Canon len's has a crossover for use on cameras that have the option to shoot 4x3 or 16x9, if I remember the last Canon lens I used with the crossover had a small dial that said 16x9-4x3 to use this function and how it worked was when you were in the 4x3 mode on a 16x9 camera, you could dial in the crossover to give you the 20% you lose on your wide end on the camera in the 4x3 mode! but if you went back to 16x9 mode on the camera and you did not set the crossover back to 16x9 on the dial you would get the vignette in lens from the crossover bieing on for the 4x3 setting. I hope this helps Broatch
  8. The way to tell if your Sony camera has 16x9 chips is in the model number it will end WS, (wide screen) Sony DXC D30WS Sony DXC D35WS Sony DXC D50WS Sony BVW D600WS Sony DVW 700WS
  9. The UVW is a 1/2 inch image sensor, and the 507 is 2/3 inch image sensor. So you will find some nicer lenes for the 2/3, 507.
  10. The UVW 100 is basicly a one piece betacam sp camera, the guts block and chips are the same as a Sony D30 DXC camera, so it's a later model than the 507 two piece camera which is like a Sony BVW400 betacam sp camera head with a dockable 5 back, this camera is a tank! FIT chips, UVW 100 has IT chips, and is a lot lighter on the shoulder! also the 507 with the 5 back has two extra audio channels when you use sp tape, the UVW only two. Both these cameras make good pictures if set up right! the older 507 may have some bad caps or transport problems (age) I would go with the UVW100, but be sure to check out all operations on the camera are working, and you are getting a good recorded picture and sound. The UVW 100 may have the option to shoot 16x9 and 4x3 you will have to check out the specs!
  11. How about your monitor set up! A. Is your monitor set up to your cameras color bars. B. Is your input into your monitor BNC connected to the in, and not the out. If this happens and it does you will get a horrible pale flat washed out picture, where if it is correct and put to the in on the monitor, the picture looks true to what the camera and matrix is recording (if the camera and the monitor are set up to the color bars) C. Is your monitor terminated D. You may have a bad capacitor ( leaky cap) and this could be on one of you cameras internal boards, it has happened to a few SDX900 that I know of (rental house cameras, older ones)
