The Full Auto Shooting feature FAS automatically adjusts the iris, shutter, and white balance just like a pro-sumer camera. It also records onto standard miniDV cassettes, which should save money. If you want to manually adjust the shutter, it has five fixed shutter speeds to choose from between and Hz which is more than adequate for most "effects" shots why do pro-sumer camera offer such high shutter speeds? What would you use a shutter speed of 10,Hz for?
More importantly, unlike its pro-sumer rivals, it also has a variable range of shutter speeds from This variable range selected via the menus is invaluable for eliminating computer screen flicker. There are a host of other menu settings. I liked the choice of four settings for Zebra patterning. The DV uses a standard half-inch bayonet mount with a standard pin connector cable, so most standard half-inch lenses will work with the camera. According to JVC's spec sheet there are two Fujinon lens 14x 7.
The standard lens Fujinon 14x lens is adequate but has aberration problems at its widest angle. If you have the money buy a better lens. Build quality looks good for the price.
I didn't get a chance to test one to destruction, but I suspect it would put up with the rough and tumble of daily use better than most cameras of this price. Being a full sized camera, it weighs 5Kg. This may seem heavy compared to the cameras mentioned so far — but it balances well on the shoulder, the extra weight giving it stability when hand-held.
Ensure you budget for a beefier tripod to support the weight. A few cameras now offer ways of electronically tagging your shots.
Thoughtfully these markers are recorded directly onto the miniDV tape so you don't need to use the more expensive memory chip tapes. Of course you need an editing system that can read the markers. We transferred all our material onto Apple G4s running Final Cut Pro and didn't bother with this feature.
I have two problems with the camera. In particular, its handling of white balance. When you perform a white balance it just confirms with a "White OK" message — this would be fine if there was a colour viewfinder or LCD screen but there isn't.
If you only have a monochrome viewfinder, you must get an indication of colour temperature to give you some level of confidence that the white balance is correct — saying it is OK is not enough. My second gripe — it isn't switchable. With so many formats being adopted by the main broadcasters — miniDV can be attractive because you can be sure your tapes will play on any DV-format deck. But beware — these cameras record sound on the FM tracks, which are combined with the pictures.
There is no longitudinal sound track. So, as editors jog or shuttle through the tape they can see the pictures, but can't hear the sound tracks, which can make editing difficult and more time consuming.
In quick turn-around situations this has disadvantages. Of course, for non-linear editing you'll have to digitise your rushes first anyway — so, it isn't a problem. They won't reduce image quality when switched.
If you intend doing a lot of widescreen work, a 2inch viewfinder will be easier on the eye, if harder on the pocket. If you rummage around in the extensive menus you can set it to give you a 1kHz reference tone every time you select colour bars. While in the menus you can also set the viewfinder to display two types of zebra patterning.
As with the JVC you can also select between fixed and variable shutter speeds. Like the DV, it can also record shot markers, although with Sony's ClipLink system the information is stored in the cassette's solid-state memory, and these tapes are more expensive.
The DSR camcorder only weighs 3. The port will be somewhere on the side or back of the camcorder, and will be the only port on the camera that the plug fits into. Plug the Fire wire cord into your computer.
Some computers put the port on the front behind a flip-down panel. With others, you will have to locate the port on the back of the computer. Turn on the camcorder. If the cords are connected correctly, the computer should automatically recognize the camera, and a pop-up menu will come up with different actions you can take with your camcorder, such as capturing the footage. Try running Hardware and Devices troubleshooter and check. If it's not, update the driver until you find that entry.
Download and install the latest drivers for the camcorder from the manufacturer's website. As you told your computer does not have a Firewire socket so, I would suggest you to contact any local computer shop and get the Firewire socket fitted on the PC.
