Re: Hot swapping lenses, one more time...
Marty during speeches & live events I'll hot swap while recording, audio was sent to the camera wireless from the desk so no on-camera for that angle. I only have two C100's one will be a stable & the other (me) will be roaming. I like to get close-up's of people but I also need wide shots to establish atmosphere so I'll switch between lenses (telephoto & wide) while shooting. The swap itself it pretty quick while recording to minimize interruption, I'll pull out a lens from my belt pouch, swap & drop the replaced lens in the pouch. The manual says don't do it & I'm not saying that it's safe but over the past year I've done it hundreds of times with no negative side effects so personally I feel confident with hot swaps.
