Quick! Every A1 / Wacom owner should read!
If you are like me you use a lot of nice tools for media creation.
One being the Canon A1. The other being Wacom Intuos 3 graphics tablet. WELL GUESS WHAT?! When sitting on the tablet...the camera won't play back correctly! I thought I was seeing dropped frames/blank tapes, until I lifted my camera from the tablet a few inches. Voila! Perfect tapes, perfect capture. The tablet now sits on my floor. Hope this prevents someone from nearly killing themselves on a projects. |

Interesting -- some kind of electrical interference from the tablet. Thanks for this report Brent,

Sorta like why you don't store tapes on top of monitors...magnetic field possibly.

Huh... weird.
My wacom 3 usually sits near my cam, no problems. But I wonder if it's contributing to my sound lag?> Who knows :P |

Wow... thanks for the warning... I have my Wacom Intuos 3 sitting right next to my A1 as I read this post. I'll be sure to keep it away next time... makes perfect sense at least. Would hate to ruin anything.

I would think this applies to ANY electrical device that could possibly emit interference & most if not all manuals for electronic gear have some kind of diddy in the manual regarding placement/installation anyway.

While we're on the subject...
Is the intuos 3 not THE BEST thing ever? I love mine to death. Best $400 I ever spent. |

It's "wahcom". I had to call tech support years ago & confirmed it because I was curious myself. Bill |

I suppose you could say it's as in "dot.com". I don't really hear a difference much and I don't pronounce computer as "cumputer".
Call it whatever you like :) Bill |
