dogbreath 0 Posted December 31, 2008 I was wondering if anyone could advise on optimal settings to use on a Panasonic HVX 200 when shooting hi-def underwater? I've got a shoot coming up soon so I'm trying to get this sorted before the job. I read a topic a while back where Drew was saying he was going to post the best HVX 200 settings for low noise etc... Any feedback would be appreciated muchly. Cheers, Matt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drew 0 Posted December 31, 2008 I don't think I did say that. I don't have the camera anymore. I believe Aussiejosho and a few others still shoot with the HVX200. I've moved on to more unsupported little vapor cameras. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are infinite possibilities with the HVX depending on the look you are hoping for. Cheers Josh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hd2o.tv 0 Posted January 3, 2009 Hello Dogbreath, I was Bad Bog, Inc until Michael Vick. Suddenly it's no so funny... We use HVX200 exclusively underwater. What I found was to use the "Cine V" set. If you like it brighter you'll want to save that setup to your memory card and adjust the finite settings to suit. Our set is custom, set up from about 200 dives. Tweak as we went along based on what we shot and what we can do in post. Check our blog and HD PodCast on iTunes. If you like what you see email me directly. You'll want to know about white balance next. And yes we have that answer! Yea hoo. paul@hd2o.tv Paul Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dogbreath 0 Posted January 6, 2009 Thanks for the response boys! Josh I was just wondering what settings to use for general shooting? CineV? Just so I get a clean un-videolike image. Paul thanks for your info. Cheers, Matt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
