Most Film-Like Scene File Settings

[Ben Schwartz]

Hi...trying to set the SDX to look most like film...can anyone recommend one or more particular scene file settings that most successfully achieve this?

try this:

take a look at many of the scenerios that Panasonic (I think) has come up with also there is a book out there about the sdx-900 that goes through the myriad (sorry if I've mispelled) of menu setting this camera has, I would recommend playing with these 'pre-set' or 'pretested' settings them tweaking to your liking....but remeber to set the camera to it's preset factory settings before and after you doe your tweaking and save the ones you like .......happy shooting

I would also recommend shooting with a promist, take some edge off that video. shot with 1/4 black promist and it came out very filmisch. And of course try for some better glass, the ENG rigs come with some crap. Hope i was some help

The book that's out there is the Goodman Guide. It is suppose to come with the 900 upon purchase. It's $125 if you buy it otherwise. As strictly a video shooter though there are still many aspects of the book, espesially with regard to shooting with frame rates that does not get addressed in the book. It does however go into detail about tweaking the cam. Just be ready to sit down with the cam and a vectorscope for quite a while to really play as the guide suggests.
