Hi,

Recently upgraded from Sony PD170 to the HVX200 and a little overwhelmed with the settings.

been watching: ‪HVX200 HD P2 Camera Workshop‬‏ - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6KeNLAch9Y)

I wondered if anyone could recomend what setting have worked best for them with this camera especially when it comes to filming weddings as I dont have a lot of time to experiment on the day..

Hi Mike

I don't have the HVX (mine are HMC's) but a really good start would be Barry Green's HVX book!! There is also a disk with scene files on it. However if you are looking for a cinematic look then Scene File #2 is great to use for a film look.

You probably need to tell users a bit more about your style of shooting too!! Are you going for the film look or shooting straight documentary style???

All makes a big difference to what you use and how you use it!!

Hi Chris

Thanks for the reply, i'll check those links out.

I have to say I am now going for a film look, however i am a little concerned over some of the reviews ive read about 'film mode' not being great for live shooting
