wonko 0 #1 April 17, 2003 Hi there, I'm just lazy thats why'm asking : [Focus]=(manual,infinity); [Program AE]=auto? [White Bal]=auto? When searching this forum about the topic, I saw recommendation to set WhiteBal=auto for camcorders, but Quade (speaking about 10D camera, though) stated:QuoteWhite balance, for outdoors, you should select the Sunlight setting. NEVER choose the auto white balance setting. Always choose the appropriate setting yourself. Yeah, camera and camcorder are are not the same thing. Anyway, I always feel kinda pain when trying to think... =wonko the sane=villem life is what you make it to be http://www.youtube.com/villu357 http://www.flickr.com/photos/skybound Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yodini 0 #3 April 24, 2003 You should have waited few weeks before buying the PC101. Sony is releasing the next version PC103 and PC105. http://www.camcorderinfo.com/content/sony_japan_dcr_pc105_04_22_03.htm I bet the price of the PC101 will go down quickly...

wonko 0 #4 April 24, 2003 Hi David, after flying with it a bit, I can say: the most important setting is your ability to fly - 90% of my 1-st weekend's footage was plain crap . About camera settings, the following seems to work: [Exposure]=manual -- dont adjust it for too dark environment [Focus]=infinity [others]=auto Some guys here use autofocus, but infinity seems to be more foolproof for the beginning. villem life is what you make it to be http://www.youtube.com/villu357 http://www.flickr.com/photos/skybound Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
