Re: Will you take this gig?
"we realize the constraints you will be working with, and won't be judging you on the artistic quality of your work."
And yet ... they want to see samples of the work. It boggles my mind. LOL

Re: Stage Events ... always interlaced?
Thank you for all the responses. There's a lot to take into consideration and many of you have presented information about progressive vs interlaced that I was not aware of.
I need to try a...

Re: Stage Events ... always interlaced?
Thank you both for your comments. I'm sure I'll have a rehearsal within the next few weeks that I "play" a little bit, but I've always wondered if it was possible to smooth it out if in progressive....

Stage Events ... always interlaced?
This is probably a dumb question, but I'm going to ask anyway. For those of you that shoot a lot of dance recitals and theatrical performances ... does anyone ever shoot in progressive mode or do...

Re: XF-200 recording issue
Update:
I tried one more time just letting the camera run at 50 Mbps. It stopped recording after 15 minutes. So at this point I'm thinking its the card. It runs forever at 35 Mbps, but not 50....

Re: XF-200 recording issue
Fair enough. First of all I'm not well-versed on the i vs p, but my understanding is that if you're shooting a lot of action that I should be shooting interlaced. I no longer do weddings ... only...

Re: Canon XF305 external recorder
James ... good info on CF cards. I just purchased the XF200 and was wondering about the size cards I needed.
Just one correction though on the Nano site ... I believe that should be dot net.

Thank you Paul. I agree that having the availability to crop has been very handy ... especially when I have one un-manned camera set to wide. It's almost like shooting with three cameras at times....

Actually in this particular case I could use a power supply, but I've gone so many years without using one that I'll probably just spring for the battery.
Thank you for the suggestions. I've also...

For the most part, the stage lighting isn't too bad. In one particular case, it's an archive video for the theater so all I do is set at wide and let it run. That's all they want for that particular...

Re: XF-200 Canon Battery Run Times
Thank you both. I'll download the manual.
I shoot mostly theatrical / stage events, so there is almost no turning on and off of the camera. This is a big help, so again ... thank you.
