Please include flip image option for Mini35 C at DVinfo.net

Jonas Nystrom · February 19th, 2008, 05:46 PM

In the next firmware update for the H1, please include a flip image option. The MINI35 C from PStechnik will start shipping in March.

Nick Hiltgen · February 19th, 2008, 11:12 PM

seconded! Are they really going to start shipping them in march? They've been pushing the release for over a year now.

Michael Galvan · February 19th, 2008, 11:22 PM

I talked with ZGC about this, and apparently March is the month!

Anton Galimzyanov · February 20th, 2008, 01:46 AM

do you know how much?

Floris van Eck · February 20th, 2008, 07:38 AM

Did you contact Canon about this?

Dave Gosley · February 21st, 2008, 03:30 AM

Hi Gents

Hoping not to enflame you with a dumb question but what is a Mini35 please?

Thanks

AFAIK, The H1 already has an image flip built in when using non standard lenses, which in this case, would ring true. :)

???

It has not, as far as I (or we) know. (has been discussed before on the forum). H1 have only flip EVF. This will only affects the EVF display, and not the video signal.

If you don't have any secret work around (please tell us ;-).

Chris Hurd · February 23rd, 2008, 10:29 AM

Yes currently the XL H1 can flip the EVF image but not the recorded image.

The EVF flip option was tailor made for this particular P+S adapter, the feature has been in the camera all this time but this adapter is the first one that will enable the use of the EVF flip option (it works only if the XL lens is off the camera).

Some folks won't like hearing this, but in my opinion the option to flip the recorded image in-camera probably will not happen. Why draw on the camera's processor resources, possibly delaying the recording by another frame or two, for something that can be done in post? They're probably going to say "well, at least we're flipping it in the EVF" and leave it at that.

Jonas Nystrom · February 23rd, 2008, 04:08 PM

Chris, you may be right.

But as the XL H1 EVF is not the best, it sure should be nice to have a, for example component flip output (I think it's impossible and the EVF is not sharp enough for any 35 mm adapter, you need extra monitoring for focusing). Anyway it could be an option for those dp's who want to use it. I think JVC HD200 (or 250) has it, so it shouldn't be impossible...

Question; I'm just curious - doesn't the EVF flip work with Redrock for example?

Matt Ryan · February 26th, 2008, 10:32 PM

Just got an email from Chris at zgc today and was told they are getting the mini35c in at the end of this week and will start shipping orders early next week!! Im very excited!

Nick Hiltgen · February 27th, 2008, 12:34 AM

Awesome! I'm looking forward to someone reviewing one of these!
