Scott, if your Canon is an EOS or FD mount, yes it will work. The HV20 is a rather unique camera in that is the first HD cam shooting in 24p anywhere close to it's price point. This makes it very attractive IMHO as an adapter "imaging engine" where as long as the camera does a good job imaging, it's features aren't as important.

In step #4 of Dennis' original post on this topic, I'd add: 4. Frame a shot so about 30% of the frame is displaying zebras, then toggle exposure on using the joystick. **Keep exposure toggled on as you shoot the scene to ensure the camera does not self-adjust the aperture.** |

Peter, follow Rob's update a few posts back. Once you toggle exposure, as long as you see the +-11 db scale in white on the LCD, it will remain locked. If you toggle the exposure off...it will readjust and you'll have to do the 30% zebra thing again.
Zooming out to visualize the aperture/nd filters is just a way to visualize what's going on when you're playing with exposure. Once you figure out your own baseline for setting exposure, you won't look at it again. Just play back your tapes with camera data toggled on the menus, and if you want gain information, play your tapes in a camera like the XHA1. It will show shutter/aperture and gain. |

Got it. Sorry if I was a little dense. :-(

There's no shame in a good question :-) I figured I had the exposure thing figured out and was quite surprised to see the scale "shift" depending on conditions when you engage exposure lock. This makes perfect sense as a consumer cam feature, and a firmware upgrade would likely make displaying aperture/gain in real numbers possible.

I'm in the same boat Zach - a few really nice Canon "L" lenses. And you are correct - for now at least, you can't control the apeture. It automatically goes wide open. Some people are working on tweaks - there was a link somewhere to a guy who had a 30D with a special adapter that ran from the 30D to the Brevis (I think) and he was adjusting apeture that way on EOS lenses on the 35mm camcorder adapter. But it looked like an unwieldy mess to me.

i remember reading that you can set the aperture on your camera, disconnect the lens (while the camera is still turned on) then it's locked at that aperture.
it should work |
