[@sudhirsingha]

[@frankdion9024]

thanks. im making a short film for cinema do i use mov. mp4. or avchd. if so what record format would I use with it. do I need a special SanDisk. camera says mine is not fast enough for 4k. advise.

[@illdaddyrod]

Frank Dion Card should be class 10 u3. I always use SanDisk as well.

[@polymexdf69]

How do you get the light to come on by the back of the lens barrel the silver one I tough it will light up red and blue

[@app101org]

Too bad you don’t actually explain anything in the menus. Anyone can simply go down the menu and read the titles.

[@Jmprofessionalimagin]

Thanks for the information, and as it works in areas of low light, it does not look grainy the black color?

[@Jmprofessionalimagin]

And while you are recording I can touch the screen to give some type of adjustment without making some noise such as a (beep) that damages the recording in audio?

[@illdaddyrod]

JM G Yes

[@frankdion9024]

do you have a video on sound. do I need to run the external shotgun Mic through something to make it more film quality. want to lose the echo. please advise. thanks.

[@illdaddyrod]

Frank Dion I always use a shotgun mic. Sound comes out great with no echo.

[@ArtTistic]

thanks for the informative video, one area I've been researching and can't seem to get a solid answer is on recording capacities of SD cards. Additionally, I read that the max card size it will recognize is 128gb. Im planning on getting 2 128gb San Disc Pro Extremes (10, U3) and just want to be sure that will give me reliable results. And what recording lengths can I expect on the cards shooting in either FHD @ 100mbss or their 4K Cinema mode (at the highest mbs it allows) any insight or advise would be greatly appreciated. I'm purchasing 2 cameras this week to finally upgrade my (tape based) Cannon XH-A1's which have served me well for 10 years. (i need long seamless recordings as we film many plays and recitals) thanks, Anthony

[@illdaddyrod]

Anthony Francese 128gb should serve you well. Do you plan on shooting exclusively in 4k? Keep in mind your files will be huge for editing. Class 10 U3 is definitely what you want. I think you're going to love this camera. I've been very happy with my purchase.

[@ronyg54]

Thank's for a good quick menu using video. Can you show how to connect and record on an external hard disk using usb3 ?

[@illdaddyrod]

ronyg54 Hi. Sorry I've never done that and not sure how. I always record to a sd card.

[@satheeshpadmanabhan8239]

Respected SIr will you please explain the numbers setting for this camera , Eg . Gain , IRIs , etc ) .

[@illdaddyrod]

Satheesh Padmanabhan In my opinion you can safely go up to 18db of gain and not worry about any noise issues. Iris just like gain is situation dependent. Many factors to consider. What specific settings are you curious about?

[@frankdion9024]

Had my HDMI port fixed and now none of the other buttons work. Menu. Filter. What happened.

[@xandysipan947]

please any one can tell me how to install Scene file in the camera . i downloaded some files then i placed them in SD card but when i come to load them in the camera says no scene file founded . Thank you

[@illdaddyrod]

Xandy Sipan Where did you get the files from? I've been looking for some new ones myself. Thanks.

[@Jmprofessionalimagin]

After recording in 4k you can see in the same camera the video? (Playback)

[@illdaddyrod]

Yes, plays back without any issues.

[@Jmprofessionalimagin]

[@gordonotabil7035]

hi, are there any scene files to download for this camcorder. thanks in advance

[@illdaddyrod]

Gordon Otabil I checked about 6 months ago and there wasn't. Technically any for the UX180 would work. They are the same camera minus a few connections. I'd have to look. There are some scene files built in.

[@gordonotabil7035]

Alright, please do look for me, I really need it badly. thanks

[@chi12366]

Hey did you test your camera with loud music?

[@illdaddyrod]

chi lon Yes and mine is fine. I played music out if my computer speakers all the way up and out the camera next to it. No distorted sound.

[@frankdion9024]

got it. big thanks.

[@frankdion9024]

As always. Big thanks.

[@jeremiekisina8396]

[@jeremiekisina8396]

I'm struggling to find videos what I recorded ?

[@HLNNolanWEATHER]

[@frankdion9024]

10 3u is what I have. please advise on other question. best for cinema. thanks

[@illdaddyrod]

Frank Dion That's what I use and it works fine when I film in 4k. Not sure why your card is giving you issues. As far as format, cinema should always be filmed in 24p. We're lucky with this camera that it is true 4k (4096x2160 24p). I'd film in the highest bitrate you can. I'm not sure if it's mp4 or mov at that codec without having my camera in front of me.

[@frankdion9024]

Some how my view finder where I look to focus got turned off. Help.

[@illdaddyrod]

Frank Dion Hit the LCD/EVF button (7). Hitting it multiple times changes its function from LCD to viewfinder.

[@jamienorton9172]

Make sure that you ONLY format the SD card using the camera's format and not your PC or it may not work properly in camera. "Formatting Media" page 42

[@chi12366]

HI do you have a problem with a loud audio problem?. Because i bought the UX-180 and it was my third return to the BH. Problem was i took the UX-180 camera and shoots birthday party and when the DJ play loud music i have a problem with the audio. So today i when back and got the HC-X1 camera and test the audio by play loud music in my car and recording it. The resulted i was not happy and loud music. I try the external MIC is a little better but not happy. So did you try to shoots a job with it?

[@illdaddyrod]

chi lon I haven't tried it at an event yet but I always use a shotgun mic. I never use internal microphone. What happens to the audio? Does it get distorted? Are your levels hitting the red?

[@chi12366]

Hey yeah its distorted and also some time i can hear a pop sound nose. I tried my external Mic and set it to -40 db its a little better but not as happy as my Panasonic AC130a. I think they do have problem on loud audio. I was try to looking for to see any one who have the same problem. Check your you can go in your car and play the music all the way then put the camera in front of speaker see if you have that problem or take it to your event and try it out. i feel uncomfortable to use it.

[@illdaddyrod]

chi lon If you put any mic in front of a loud speaker it's going to go into the red. Are your levels going into the red?

[@chi12366]

the funny thing is meter level does not go over to red. It mess up some of my event video job. I am mad as hell

[@illdaddyrod]

chi lon I'll try some loud music in the house tomorrow and see what happens

[@padmakarshevde1315]

Pl explain white balance.

[@illdaddyrod]

Padmakar Shevde Do you want to know how to White balance with this camera?

[@CINCINStudio]

[@ScottTaipaleRail]
