Re: Any GY-LS300 Users in Vancouver, BC Area?
The peaking is very good and accurate so as long as you use that and magnified focus to double check and as long as you use the zebras and histogram and manually whitebalance you always will come...

Re: LS300 for narrative filmmaking?
The handle on the jvc is very solid and robust, that together with the lensmount are the strongest parts of the camera, the weakest part by far is the lcd screen as it feels very flimsy and I have...

Re: Dropped Frames -Help
If the tape with the dropout plays fine in your camera/tv then it's another issue, maybe try another cable that connects your camera to the pc?

I hope for you it is another problem but if all 3 camera's display the same problem there is a high chance it was a bad tape and there is as far as I know no way to recover. I have had a similar...

Re: variable nd filter
That's normal because the lens ramps from f3.5 to f5.6 and your camera is compensating for that by raising the gain.
It's a different sensor with different sensitivity so it does not compare.

Re: variable nd filter
A ND filter is used to have better control over your shutter, iso/gain and f-stop in very bright light, basically you first set your shutter which should be 1/50 if you are shooting at 25fps or 1/100...

Re: Lumix 42.5 lens connector issues
This looks like a lens malfunction, I would just send it back now, if you don't you might be able to use it the following weeks but it's of no use if i doesn't work at a shoot.

Re: Panasonic gx80 for weddings
That also might vary a lot with what type of lens you use, my 12-35mm f2.8 doesn't have that problem but also my 42,5mm f1.7 and 75mm f1.8 only start to hunt when it gets quite dark.
