Re: The SLS and Interval Record modes are all greyed out....

This is not the case Alister, I always use the SLS in interval mode at 16 for a timelapse in the 50i mode using the FAT format. I know for the S&Q I need a 1440 setting, but when it was all greyed...

Re: PMW-200 -- any tips / advice on how to correctly use "AGC Spec" & "Limiter" setti

Thanks Alister, I'll give this a try.
At saturdays wedding I just used a EX1R I also bought recently and it has only 2 AGC settings, high and low, I set it on low and the sound from it at that...

Re: The SLS and Interval Record modes are all greyed out....

No Alister, it was in FAT mode, 1920 50i and the picture cache was turned off.
If it happened at a wedding I wouldn't have time to mess about and reset the camera, it might be a fault of some kind.

Re: PMW-200 -- any tips / advice on how to correctly use "AGC Spec" & "Limiter" setti

So for recording a live wedding band Alister would you use the on board mic or a phantom XLR one and monitor it on manual levels with the limiter at -6dB?
I had tried the on board on auto levels...

Re: PMW-200 -- any tips / advice on how to correctly use "AGC Spec" & "Limiter" setti

Thanks Roger, that does make sense. Its with wedding bands my issue is, their songs vary that much I dont feel that the limiter mode will be of any help. My last one I had the AGC turned down to...

I would like hear some answers on this as well, I own the PMW150, the UK version of the PMW160 and the audio on these is the same as your PMW200, but its way over my head all the extra settings....

Re: Unexpected Surprise: PMW-200 Audio!

Hi Kevin, I dont own the PMW200, its the PMW150/160 I bought. The camera is the same from the lens back as the 200 without the 1/2 inch chips. Compared to low light on my EX1R, I put them side by...

Re: 5100/5200

I've just ordered a 5100 today for video as I own a lot of good Nikon glass.
Both cameras are good but with the extra pixels on the 5200 it can sometimes cause the horrible aliasing.
It will do my...
