hi, i would like to know if there is someplace in europe where i can have cinematography courses (practical workshop) i lewss that 3 months. i you know some place PLZ send me their web address. Thanks.

i have some bad news. it is not the DCC. by the way the distortion was not hapening in the highlight zones but in the midtone zone. i talked to the rental house and he said it is normal to the camera to do so. he said it is a bug in the camera and he said he contacted Sony and they said so. (i am not sure that he called them) i tried the camera with DCC off and i turned off all Knee options after having reset all the menus. i tried it again on the sky and it did the same thing.

thanks for the informations. i am going to do the tests as soon as possible unfortunatly i did not save my setup on sa memory stick. and i am not sure if the DCC was on or off. but anyway, i am going to do the tests as soon as possible. and i will tell you what happens to me. by the way when that problem occured, not all the highlight zone had the problem. only one part of it. there were brighter zones of the sky that did not have the noise problems. +++ if you know an internet site where i can get the user's manual for the camera (a .pdf file or something like that) it would be great because there are some menus that i still don't know. thanks again for your help. i will give you the results of the test as soon as i do the next HD shoot.

last week i had my first shooting with an HD camera using the sony f900 camera. i was shooting a scene over a town from a high mountain. in the frame there was a piece of sky showing. in the sky there was a gradual blue color (differant in brightness). on a level of blue there was something like a picture noise (the one you see on a TV when is not receiving a channel) . as i changed the "iris" the noise moved in the sky. to stay on the same blue color. it was acting a little bit like the 70% zebra on a digibeta. we could easily see it through the viewfinder and throught the 9" monitor and worst it was on the image after we did the 3:2 pulldown to a digibeta. i have NO IDEA what this was. i am sure there was no UFO in the sky. :P but it is a problem. luckyly the guys from the grafic department managed to hide this noise on the post production by bluring the zone of the noise but iprefer not to have such problems when shooting. if anyone had this problem and knows how to deal with it please tell me. +++ if anyone knows a site where i can get the operation manual of the f900 (because there is some options i couldn't access or understand in the camera) i would realy realy apreciate your help thank you very much sincerely yours Nicolas Khoury
