Tom,

Is the outdoor footage straight out of the camera or processed? If straight, can you relay your settings - including a scene file?

I recently bought a 40 but am unsure if it's setup optimally for outdoor shooting (soccer). The best footage I got on a sunny day was in full auto mode. Going to manual with a couple of scene files from Barry Green's book just doesn't look as good.

Any thoughts appreciated.

Hey Arthur. This is the scene file I use.

HMC 40 Scene File settings

Detail Level +2

V Detail Level +2

Detail Coring +1

Chroma Level +2

Chroma Phase 0

Color Temp 0

Master Ped 0

A.IRIS Level 0

Drs off

Gamma Cine Like V

Knee Auto

Matrix Fluo

Skin Tone DTL off

I added a .25 increase to saturation on most clips ,and a .5 increase on contrast so it wouldn't look so washed out when encoded with h.264

Iris was on auto outside due to the rapidly changing conditions
