Sailing San Francisco Bay

Mike Nager and I took TRINITY III, a 30' Catalina, out for a spin. It was a swell day with good winds and we headed from the Brisbane Marina towards San Francisco. Videos taken with a Panasonic LUMIX ZS1 camera with video feature which is stored on a SDHC card was inadvertently corrupted when it was downloaded onto a older SD reader. Not to give up, I was able to recover still frames and rebuilt a video from the frames. This is what came out as a result of the salvage job.

Now, let's bring on the AMERICA's CUP RACE over here!

@astropil01: any video files were corrupted and cannot be viewed. But by chance and after using a card recovery software, jpg files were recovered. File format were at x1080.So yes, it turned on HD.

This looks like an hd video. Did you somehow save the ZS1 files as wide screen or what?

@MrAliMcB: Thx. video is nothing more that still images running at 15 frames or more per second. But stitching stills into a movie is a fun exercise to do. I've actually seen other better vids than mine out there.

There was no issue with the Zs1. But I prefer the HD over the SD and the stereo over the mono, so I upgraded. The new LUMIX out now is the Zs7 version.

@tbombon I see, now you've inspired me to do a video made entirely of pics!

Did you have issues with your ZS1 or did you just wanted an upgrade?

@MrAliMcB: Thanks. Actually, the SD card on the ZS1 got corrupted. Thus, the videos I shot that day was hosed. In my attempt to recover files from the card, I recovered the JPG files (some of it but not all). To salvage, I just did a stitching of the JPG files and dumped it into my Video editing software... and out came this effect.

I returned the ZS1 and bought the ZS3 (has HD and stereo). The ZS3 has now been replaced by a ZS7 (including a 12 MP and 12 x zoom).

Wow amazing vid, did you use continuous mode? Just ordered a Lumix ZS1 myself and can't wait to get my hands on it, the pics look awesome! Oh and thanks for sharing, San Francisco bay looks gorgeous
