Learn how to get the most out of DV cameras. This half-day session offers tips and tricks for using prosumer cameras like the Canon XL1S, Sony DSR-PD150, and Panasonic AG-DVX100, as well as high-end cameras like the Panasonic AJ-SDX900 and Sony DSR-500WS. Through real world examples and live demos, you'll learn how to achieve high-end results by using custom settings and filters, and tricking preprogrammed settings to allow for better-looking images. Other topics include how (and when) to use slow shutters, fast shutters, sharpness controls, skin detail, gamma adjustments, zebra settings, and setup levels; when(and how) to shoot 60i, 30p, or 24p. In addition, you'll learn how to record better pictures and cleaner sound.
