I have two Giant Squid mics that I use with my iRivers, both with 5 foot cables. At first I was worried they would be too long, but it's easy to stuff the excess into the groom's pocket. And I've...

Yeah, sure you can do this. Check the manual under the "Dubbing/Editing" section for "signal conversion function".

Actually, I find it easier to add an edit on an empty audio track and trim out to add as much black as you want.

Hi Tom,

Is downconvert enabled on the deck or camera you are trying to export to? If it is, AVID will see it as a DV device, not an HDV device. So you see the deck as enabled, but AVID will refuse...

Tom,

You can't use digital cut with HDV.

Open help, type "exporting to an hdv device" and check it out. You'll get an explanation on how to get your sequence to tape over firewire.

Cheers,...

Your wish is my command.

My hand position is a bit off because I'm trying to lean back and see the camera viewfinder at the same time, but you'll get the idea.

My right hand is holding the...

Depends on how you hold the camera. You could argue about which is the 'right' way, but I think the iris knob on the Z1 is meant to be adjusted with your left thumb while your fingers are in position...

Brandon,

I applaud your ability to focus on the fly with the Z1, but I just can't seem to quickly find critical focus with the LCD or viewfinder. I'm always not sure.

Any tips?

Thanks,

I checked the operating temperature limits of my Z1 according to Sony, and they list a max of 104F. So if it were me, I would tend to worry about a 99 degree day in the sun.

Oh, boy. That's the difference between what I see at full res, and after it's compressed for the web. I need to see it at its final size, I guess.
