Re: C100 and white balance
One issue that the C100 MK1 has that trips up, say, the users of Sony cameras, is that the frame needs to filled with your white or grey target, an that target needs to be in the light that your...

Re: ? about C Log
Be very aware that using ISO BELOW 850 can lower your dynamic range.
Watch your waveform monitor and see the way highlights get pulled down in relation to the shadow details as you use lower ISOs.

re: C100 Mark II -- Mostly About Waveform
Anyone care to speculate on the new recording formats? Specifically the MP4 at 35 Mbits. Now, MP2 at 35Mbits (XDCAM) is pretty close to AVCHD as makes no odds. But MP4 at 35 Mbits sounds like it...

Re: Importing clips from the C100
Kathy, I guess you're using 24p pretty much exclusively?

Re: Replacement for C100
If the C100 stays at HD rather than 4K, I'm totally cool with that. 50/60p? Clients want that and so do I. Slomo and Intervalometer with slow shutter? Hell yes, that should have been there from the...

Re: Replacement for C100
From my contacts in the retail channel, I hear that the C100 has been a great little performer. Think about it, if you sell 2 C100s for every C300, that's okay. But if you sell 4x C100s for a C300,...

Re: New Sony FS7 4K XDCAM at Photokina
A tiny snipped I picked up - input is 24 bit at 48KHz, not the usual 16 bit.
I wonder if attaching a K1M (or similar) XLR bridge would allow 4 track internal audio recording?
Hmmm. Hopefully...

Re: C100 cheat sheet
It's a bit of a 'remiss' of me not to have promoted it here.
Hope it's of use to the C100 community. Most of the stuff is no news, but hopefully there's a few gems for exiting users. LOL

Re: C100 footage degraded on export
Your footage is fine. It's just the way AVID is interpreting the AVCHD, and it can be fixed quickly.
What you're seeing is Avid misinterpreting the 'Progressive Segmented Frame' flag of the AVCHD...
