Sony Cx 100/105 fader

[PalleNygren 0]

Finally I had some time to play around with my new Cx105, thinking abou workflow for videos, and tandemvideo in particular. When using the fader (that is limited to white fader or black fader), it in my opinion takes a bit to much time to fade. Somewhere around 5-6 seconds to fade in fully. On my old Pc110 this was done in about half that time, which I think gives a more natural transition between scenes. Question: Is it possible to adjust the time for the fader?

On another note, when recording; the camera creates a new clip everytime the recording is stopped. Is it possible to override this function so that when for example doing a tandemvideo, the whole video is in one clip? Ie having something like a pause button during recording?

Fader can't be adjusted for speed.
CX100 is a file-based camcorder, ergo a new file is created each time you start/stop. DV cams work the same way, but due to the linear nature of a tape, you probably never noticed because you're likely editing in a linear fashion?
You can make a playlist with the CX for "break-free" playback. It will behave linearly by stitching selected files together.

Nope, didn't have any use for the Cameye, selling it is better than just letting it collect dust somewhere.

Back to the Cx105, in regards to workjumps, technology-wise it's way more advanced but I feel like it's a bit disappointing when it comes to user (ie skydiver) friendly features.

A few examples:

NO REMOTE!
NO VIEWFINDER!
More fading effects on the Pc110.

On the plus side though is the smaller size and less weight, but in whole, before HD & blueray becomes standard it didn't really warrant an upgrade...
