Hello all...

I just picked up a nice used x320 xdcam...so I need the following:

1. The camera is suppose to do 1080p...but I can not find the setting in the menu...any ideas where I can find that?

2. does anybody have picture profiles that download to the camera or manually set up?

Thanks for your help...

You couldn't find anything in the manual about recording formats?
What about pages 42 and 115? It's all right there. Even if you just poked around in the the camera's menus themselves it should pretty obvious how/where to choose an HD format and a progressive frequency.
Your signature says you also own PMW-300, and if you know how to run it, then you ought to know about 90% of what you need to know about the X320 because they aren't very different.

By the way...Page 42 is the tripod set up page. 115 has the menus.

My typo. I meant to write page 45 and 115.
Pages 45-47 are good because they show you all the possible format combinations for UDF. I prefer those charts over the actual menus pages on 115.

This isn't rocket science. Page 2 of the table of contents

Setting the Video Format .................................................................44
Selecting the Recording Mode ........................................................ 47
Changing the Video Format ............................................................ 47

I have never used or owned this model of camera and yet I was able to find the info in less than a minute.
