when you refer to changing the aperture with cine mode... do you mean adjust ing the exposure?
and peter... if you use the stick to turn on exposure adjustment I think it seems to lock all the exposure settings to match |

Do you mean when in 24p? I believe you can use Cinema mode at 60i or 24p. Since the cinema mode gives the reduced contast/longer tonal range - what is the advantage of combining 24p with this versus just using it at 60i? -Thanks.

edit: I'm away from my cam at the moment but I do believe the same rule applies that if you keep the exposure displayed on the screen it should be locked in that position. Maybe someone could verify that...... |

I'm posting two sets of pics below that demonstrate the dynamic range of the TV mode v. Cinemode. I didn't want to start a new thread on topic, to post these, so I hope this isn't taken as hijacking.. The scene is stream with sun filtering through trees and shrubs, and with direct sunlight on stream. In doing the comparison shots, while taping, used exposure adjust to bring down the "zebras" as much as possible without losing shadow detail.

The good thing is, if you apply a simple "levels adjust" on the blacks to the cinema frame, and compare to the TV mode, the contrast and color is better on cine mode, and still you have no clipping on the lights. Just perfect.
Only thing you could miss in this circumstances on cinema mode maybe a lack of sharpness. |

Ive done some testing on this and have come to the conclusion that I love the cine mode for not blowing out the highlights and the extra dynamic range. For the sharpness issue I use a medium sharpen in Vegas which brings it up to about the same level as the non cine footage.

That's it, you've convinced me to use the cine setting. Thanks for the tests. I automatically started using TV mode, just to have control over shutter speed.. Although probably only need that for slow motion style clips.

From my experience thus far, I'd say its a good option in contrasty extended range situations, but you don't have to shoot it to the exclusion of others. It should be shoot by shoot call. There are times when you will want the "pop" of the other modes...or the extra control..

No I think if you compare a static shot in both modes you will see the difference. Apprently the cine mode is based on an A1 preset in which sharpness was -4

I wasn't able to get the sharpness I wanted, using Vegas in post production, with the Cine setting on the HV20. What filters and settings are people using, who are getting results they are pleased with?
I think non-cine mode with Brightness reduced in the Custom Image effects menu gives a good compromise of sharpness with exposure lattitude. It seems to keep highlights from blowing out, without significantly darkening shadow areas. As an alternative, I tried increasing colour depth, brightness, sharpness and contrast with Cine Gamma, but it is still soft compared to P Mode. I attach some images, and a low res JPG from my NIKON D70 SLR for comparison. This is the HV20 at 25P. Patrick |
