Anyone Using a Vixia HF series for Professional work?

Thank you for pointing that out. I did not realize the Vixia's had explicit shutter speeds. They do not display when manually adjusting the exposure in [P]. I'll have to change my approach (use TV Shutterprio.ae?).

The only time I can view shutter speeds is on playback of the video , when put on display mode.

Personally I never use any mode except Tv so that I can hold shutter speed constant (usually at 1/60 for 30P or 60i; 1/48 for 24P .... doing this requires the use of an ND filter in bright conditions). Shutter speed remains visible at all times in Tv mode.

can you set the shutter speed on its on?

Graham Hickling · December 4th, 2010, 10:44 PM

Yes, in Tv mode you set the shutter, and the iris still varies automatically (unless you also choose to lock exposure, in which case both shutter and iris remain fixed).
