Hello!
I have a few questions that I hope some of you can help me with. I'm using an english manual for a Panasonic NV-MX500 and a Panasonic PVDV953 to operate my GS100. (were these the same cameras?). I've figured out most of its functions (I think) but want to know more. Do any of you know where I can find its specifications or operating instructions etc in English? Other questions:
1. In manual exposure mode, it seems that you can only control either aperature or shutter speed, but cannot make adjustments to both. Is that right?
2. Is this camera capable of true 16:9?
3. Is Pro-cinema mode the same as 16:9 but with 24 fps shutter and other adjustments to emulate film? Do you recommend i use it if I want to shoot footage for documentaries/ethnographic films? Will using Pro-Cinema mode cause any problems when I edit my film if I want to include footage shot on other regular DV cams? (I used several cams at different anges when I shot a film). I've searched around but can't find enough info on Pro-Cinema mode... please tell me what you can!
Thanks and sorry for my amateur-ish questions!!
