Canon XH A1s Camcorder Test Footage

Test Footage from a Canon XH A1s camcorder after I calibrated the camera for color, lighting, contrast, etc. The microphone is a Rode NTG-2 that was held by a boom above the subjects head. I filmed this directly to the hard drive via firewire connection with Studuo 14 and Premiere Pro CS5... This was shot at 30P with only normal floresent ceiling lights burning. The subject matter is not as concerned as the video quality and settings.
So here are the settings for XH A1.s Enjoy!

I used custom settings on the Canon. I now have a Sony NX5U and a Z5U that I like much better.
