I am getting an HC1 and I heard there is an accurate chart to use because it doesn't list the aperature setting on the lcd -

Also, has anyone been able to enable the BlackStretch on an HC1? I know that Wolfgang did it with a firmware hack, but has anyone else successfully done it as well?


Thanks

You can find the gain/aperture chart here:

You can search for the links to the firmware hack in Wolfgang's posts. Nut realize that any warranty will be voided if you do it and that there are risks.

Thanks for the chart. I will print it out and paste it on the camera somewhere! Any other tips?
