HV30 Footage of Brazilian Dancers in Haifa

Richard Hunter · March 21st, 2008, 02:29 PM

Here's some shots from the Purim Festival on 21 Mar 2008 in Haifa. The colours from this little cam still amaze me, but I just wish it I had been able to get a ND filter before I came here.

Nice work, Richard. As an new HV30 user, can I ask you what settings - mode, image effect etc - you used for this?
Practising in bright sunshine today on the HV30, I was missing the built in ND filter on my XH-A1, and sunshine here in March ain't nuffin' compared to Haifa.

Hi Colin, thanks. Yes I've got an XH-A1 as well, but it was a bit bulky to bring along this trip.

For these HV30 shots, I used 25P, Tv mode and tried to use 1/50s shutter. However it was a very bright day and since I do not have any ND filter, for a lot of the shots I had to set the shutter to 1/250s. I also think that Tv mode tends to overexpose most of the time, so I usually hit the exposure lock and drop the exposure by 2 or 3, until only the brightest parts are showing 100% zebra. Sounds troublesome, but it's quite fast once you get used to it.

Thanks for that info Richard.
It's great that the HV30 has the zebra function but I wish it had something in between 70 and 100%. Maybe you have shown me a way round that.

Hi Colin. Sorry I gave wrong info about the camera mode. This footage is actually 50i, because there was a lot of other stuff going on at that festival and I am planning to apply slomo to some of it. The rest of what I said is correct though.
