The image is always captured at the same read out speed regardless of the shutter speed - so the rolling shutter effect is constant. The read out speed is limited by the speed of the processor in the...

Well, I'm not a sound expert - so I'm looking for 'good enough' and not 'the best'. My criteria for 'good enough' is whether the audience is happy with it. I just had a chance to screen a bunch of my...

I'd recommend considering the Tascam DR-100 instead of the H4n - the prices are about the same right now. I have the H4n and it's a great recorder, but it has a couple of issues. First off is you...

Depends on the lens. Some have one mode only, others have a second mode which stabilizes vertically but not horizontally so they don't screw up pans.

This site is good for calculating DOF and hyperfocal distances:

Yes, a color temp meter will save you a couple of clicks - but it won't get you the same results as using a custom white balance. I don't know the exact mechanism behind it but custom and color temp...

Don't forget most stuff you mount is mounted to a hole that's about 3/8" in diameter on the bottom of the camera. As far as I know the hotshoe is mounted to the same magnesium body element that the...

I personally prefer it to a standard video camera as it's a lot more flexible. The directions make it sound a little more complex than it actually is but they aren't that bad. Take a photo under your...

I'd disagree with not bothering with ProRes if your destination is the internet. 8bit, MPEG2-based codecs like XDCAM don't hold up well to multiple generations of compression, so I'd say your...

I work on a laptop, so I tend to use the 8bit YUV option while I'm working for speed, then switch it to the 10 bit YUV mode when I create a master file. I've never seen the black artifacts you...

I can see getting this in addition to the H4n specifically as a camera-mounted solution, much better for mounting on a hot shoe if you want a reasonably compact setup. I notice they mention...
