Bars
Gareth,
don't want to hijack the conversation but what would you use the bars for? I understand there are two types but what is their purpose and how do you use them? Cheers Gabor |

There is already a dedicated button for the bars on the Z1, so assigning it seems a bit redundant...
Gabor - see this: - Color Bars FWIW, mine are assigned as follows: 1: allscan mode 2: wb outdr lvl + 3: wb outdr lvl - 4: steadyshot 5: marker 6: display Note that the ONLY way to access the allscan mode is to assign it to a button. |

Hi Boyd
Yep I know it already has a bars button but the assign button is better placed... Gabor, I always shoot 30 secs of bars at the start of a tape.. a throw back the old Betacam days and linear editing, but now serves to avoid any possibly poor quality tape that might cause drop outs. This is most likely to be in the first part of the cassette. Cheers G |

Only works if you set your while balance to the preset "outdoor". |

You can create multiple picture profiles, and this technique could be used with any of them. As I said in the old thread,

I agree, and having buttons 5 and 6 as + and - fine tune white balance buttons is superb. 5 clicks on button 5 and you're on the artificial w/bal setting - so easy to remember. It's another reason why the Z1 is so much better than the FX1.

The allscan mode (actually more commonly known as underscan) only works in the HDV mode and allows you to see the entire frame as recorded by the chips and as is commonly shown on the latest flat-panel TVs. A must if you're using a softie and a wide-angle, for instance.
