I hope a scene file thread will get started soon so we can share presets. Im hoping to accomplish the over-saturated look of the Canon Vivid-RGB preset. I have not had time to look into presets at all yet, but hopefully they are very adjustable and this is possible.

Hopefully Chris will also set up a camera clips folder in a new HMC150 discussion topic.

(Jeff, I copied your post and split it out of another thread).

I can set up an example clips sub-forum once we have a few existing threads to move into it (in general I don't start empty boards). So once we've got a few video clips posted here, I'll be happy to set up the sub-forum and move those threads into it...

Re: scene files, I just need to know what the file extension is so I can add it to the list of allowed attachments that can be uploaded to the forum. That's the only thing that needs to happen in order to get a scene file thread going.

This is the Panasonic factory information describing the 6 factory set up scene file settings. The original PDF file is also attached.

I'd be interested in getting some scene files here for the HMC40 as well.

Maybe people can post their scene file usage preferences as well (for the factory settings to start with).

Hi Guys

Haven't seen much activity here at all!! Does this mean that there are no HMC40/80 users that are using scene files at all????

I would have thought at the very least your cameras would be using Scene 1 tweaked nicely for outdoor work and then Scene 2 tweaked to take advantage of low light operation.

It seems to help low light operation a lot if you drop detail to around -3 and push the detail core way up to +6 or 7. Setting gamma to bpress for low light inside work also seems to make a nice difference.

For outdoor shoots I'm a bit of a colour fanatic so I tend to lift the Chroma Level up a few notches and you can also push both detail settings up a tad!!

Anyone care to share Scene Files they have modified for either the HMC40 or 80 as they have much the same DNA!!

Chris
