First Day - Canon Vixia HF S10 / HF S100 / HF S11

First day getting to play with the new HF S100. Fast motion still seems a little flickery, but it was shot in 60i and deinterlaced, so it should be fine, so I'm assuming I still need to hone my exporting/rendering skills. Mild color correction throughout. I was experimenting with artistic camera movement, may have overdone it a little on a few shots., but overall like it better than purely static placement.

I want to get this camera now. :D

Btw, what song did you use for this video?

[TheCouchCrusader]

I'd look at the HF S200's now, they are the new and improved sibling.

Songs: by Badly Drawn Boy. The first song is "Minor Incident" and the second is "This is that new song"

Ah cool..

I just played with mine - and found that I can do the focus shift manually (and VERY easily !!) using the joystick next to the lcd display on the open out flap

Wish I'd found that on day one !!

[TheCouchCrusader]

WOW! I didn't even know that. God I love youtube! : )

[sheffieldhistory]

GREAT video

How the heck you doing the depth of field/focus shifts ?

The dial on the camera is way too small and needs too much turning for me to get that effect ?

[TheCouchCrusader]

I just let the autofocus hunt for it. By that, I mean I will let the camera focus on something at a signifigantly different distance and then center up on the new subject, and the camera will slowly bring it into focus. If you look at the vid of my florida trip, at the 5:55 and 6:35 points there are a couple of other examples that you can kinda see a better idea of what I'm doing.

@sheffieldhistory

You can also use the wireless remote as well...that's what I do ;)

[RiverAveGuy]

Nice, where did you film it?

[yozitaki]

Hey, does anyone know how the hf s10 compares to the new hf m31, and they are both being offered for 800 now. I would think that the hf s10 would still be better, but the new one has a touch screen *dono if i would care though

@TheCouchCrusader - Sony Vegas is good but I'd use Adobe After Effects or Premier to edit then render. I'd also render in Quicktime Animation format, then from there convert it into the format you need using Toast or Adobe Media Encoder. I'm looking to buy this camera and have found your videos most useful, thanks! :]

Gab - if you recorded in mx mode -you have to render / burn that footage at - (( 24 )) bit rate 1080 60i if you have recorded in fx mode you have to change bit rate to (( 17 )) then 1080 60i.. FX is mainly for dvd MX is mainly meant for blu-ray dude.. Any technical issues you may have always ask Cannon - 1800 OK CANNO - they are the best and can answer every single question you need answered !
