Only get an hour on the 64GB card..at 100Mbps..?

The UK is the cradle of all great cinematography .... and the birth place of pure cinema.. by the way Martin S and Bobby D are actually also British..

Hi Dave Really nice how you share your knowledge .. alot of DP,s would keep their tricks to themselves.. I guess you have the confidence to share them.. thanks..

Ah glad to hear its sorted out... what a riddle..!! shame to original owner didnt switch it off.!! glad your ready for action.I got a nanoflash for my HDX900.. not much use to begin with but now almost all corporate video stuff I use it.. and probably get Pana 3100 next year..

Ok thanks.. hope it gets sorted out.. did it just happen out of the blue!! please post final solution ..!!

Yes that would handy.. I have the same camera but thankfully not had that problem.. checked the Goodman guide also,and found no mention of it.. If your in the UK.. call the guys at TopTeks.. hopefully they could tell you some solution just over the phone..

Ah ok sorry to waste your time.. yes sounds like some locking thing.. very odd.. sounds a bad design then..

Hold the button in for about 3 sec,s.. main menu will appear.. press again to get rid of it

Always works for me... and I make them do the CC in the Caribbean ...and no.. I wont share the Gulfstream with management ... :lol:

Yeah give them hell..Iam not working in the big time.. just saying you might have to eat humble pie .. before you can park your Bentley side ways in the producers and directors places.. and tell them you wont move it till you have finished your morning cappuccino. :lol:

Hi Jessie I guess your a young gun.. and its great to be that confident.. but really you might want to take some advise from the old farts.. :) or you risk a very short career .. or at least wait till your famous..

Yes same DP Barry Ackroyd BSC... he also did nearly all of the Ken Loach stuff last 10 yrs.. and United 93 (was it 93)?

Surprised to hear that really... the operator/ focus puller and loader are most often friends and or colleagues ... of the DP.. why its so hard to get into camera dept in the first place. it was always my experience that the Dp would be minding our backs.. even instructions not to hand over rushes to production :) when they though it prudent not to.. And seems this guy also felt bad and did the right thing... the DP might work for nothing as they have something to gain.. but they should look out for their department.. or risk getting a bad name I would have thought..

Hi Annie Ok thats good... noble act by the DP.. although TBH I think alot of DP,s would do the same.. esp if he introduced you to the job.. they are responsible for how their crew is treated.. which would explain the payment and maybe the hasty retreat.. just from embarrassment more than malice I,d say.

Whats the quote for health care in the US... Scandinavian tax,s ... third world service..

Iam not an Elephant :) Actually sorry Karl.. I was a bit of a P*ick ... you got your rights to say what you want.. just your wrong..(only kidding) Peace and love

Karl... your way out of your depth here.. and its becoming embarrassing.. Iam sure your a nice guy.. I would slip quietly away from this thread if i were you..

You have a talent for it.. you should write a book about your time in the film industry... got to be good therapy at the very least.. Hang in there.. its normal to be pissed off.. spit the dummy... and throw some toys out of the pram... I remember a job where the DP was such a prick I would cry in my hotel room and really questioned if i wanted to do this modern day indentured slavery... but you,ll get over it.. the next good job..

Had exact the same with company going bankrupt... very little u can do... gov get their money first.. and then bank..! then company re starts.. new name.. same scum.. I think there are very few businesses that operate on such a level of trust... (see the excellent Client relationship video).. so at least once everyone in this business is going to get stung.. I wish mine had only been $500. Only really safe way... cash for film/tapes... but in reality this is a pretty hard road to go.
