white balance was off second time

@1crazyboy7 The two clips do have a different temperature but I purposefully didn't want to edit any of the footage in post. I just put the camera in full auto mode during shooting of both clips, changing only the lighting to reflect what difference lighting can make.

what do you mean with flood lights ? is this an outside feature right ? or is it a setting from the camera ?...I have a HV40 too and I always have trouble in low light I always get noise, can u please tell me what setting did u use...you will help me a lot

thanks

@rodrigosales I didn't do anything different with the camera between the two clips, (I think it was just on auto everything.) The first clip he's playing under two halogen style flood lamps and in the second clip he's playing under normal CFL's that you'd find indoors.

Nice Video, really illustrates the point of lighting!

Great comparison, Now you just need to work on not playing in front of the beat...

@theryaner I'm the same way. Zebra on all the time with horizontal and vertical markers

[BassICLeh]

@intermediator I do not use the custom key at all. The zebra setting is useful, but the other options for the button are kind of not useful

@theryaner I'm definitely a fan of "the bigger the sensor, the better." I actually prefer 24p not because of the 24 fps, but because the fact that it's progressive. Granted, you can de-interlace interlaced footage, but I just don't trust it for some (most likely superstitious) reason.

@intermediator I'm not familiar with the HF100, but the HV40 (and HV30), the Panasonic, and the Canon HF200 are all great cameras. You'll be happy with either. They all have their strengths and weaknesses, so I think it's just a matter of combing through the spec sheets to see which one specifically fits your style.
