Various posts concerning GR-HD1U and JY-HD10U

I've done this successfully. I recall it being tight but it works.

hello people

i want to ask something to the hd10 owners.

how is the focal distance for the hd10?

i mean, if i put something in the front of the hd10 lens, at the widest, from what distance will the camcorder focus the sharpness?

2 cm? 3 cm?

ciao

Daniel,

Let's say it will focus as close as you can physically get. Camera shadow is in the way. JVC has interesting feature - TELE-MACRO. When switched on, and zoomed all the way in, best focus is about 2 feet. This is about as close as you can get with regular macro - and no camera shadow!

Does anyone know if you can use a Microforce zoom control with the HD10? Since it has been pointed out that geared follow focus or zoom controls won't work, I'm wondering if it has a jack that will respond to a nice electronic zoom control?

Anyone care to field this one?

JVC does not support LANC connectors which is usually the type of jack required for outboard controls.

Why such smallish pics? You trying to hide something in the image?

I'm seriously considering buying the JY HD-10U despite the fact that it's NTSC when in SD - I find the HD on a palmheld very too seductive, especially for the non intrusive film I want to shoot...

Three questions

1. A guy from JVC let me have a look at the camera the other day and I asked about Mini DV tapes - any types I shouldn't use, or whatever. He acknowledged that all types worked but warned me strictly against Sony Mini DV 'with the red stripe'. Posters on this forum seem to be fine with Sony Mini DV tapes!

2. JVC seem open and honest about the camera. I appreciate this, but find it a little confusing when they say:

'Would 3 CCDs be superior to 1 CCD? For absolute picture quality, yes. But there are practical trade-offs. 3 CCDs would provide superior accuracy of color reproduction, and would provide superior resolution for same density of CCD. However, the 3 CCD camera would be larger, heavier and draw more power which requires a larger battery. The 3 CCD camera would also cost more. '

Wouldn't it cost less? Or would the 3 Chips cameras selling everywhere that cost less not be so good, not be the subject of their little comparison? Would the picture quality actually be better? Wouldn't HD just be better?! It seems a vague statement, but perhaps it's my understanding that's vague

3. If I only want to shoot atmos, but atmos is important, is the implanted mic sufficient? How bad is it?

Thanks for the friendly forum.

Graham, I moved your post into this new thread since you are
posting a new question. I also enabled your e-mail notification

I am about to purchase a Kenko KNW-05 wide angle adapter (WA) for my HD1...I hope there is not vigeneting (if there is please tell me and save me some $$$)...

But my questions is really this...Should I buy and place ND filters in front of the WA or behind???

I can purchase 52mm ND filters for about $15-20 each and then put the WA infront of that. But I am affraid that the extra lenght may produce some cut off (Vigeneting) when I put the WA in front of such a thick filter.

I may also buy an 82mm ND filter (about $40-70 each) and put them in front of WA but again I am affraid of the Vigeneting since the WA is so wide.

Which do you think would be better...I rather buy the 52mm since they are cheaper....

Keep the W.A. lens as close to the camera lens as possible to avoid vignetting.

Anyone using a UV/Haze filter? Would this be a necessary filter for the HD1/HD10?

Thanks.

Troy

Mark Jervis · January 19th, 2004, 01:01 PM

I use this filter on any camera. It's a cheap filter that can save a lens from dirt, scratches, etc...Unless I need to stack other filters on I will keep the UV/Haze on at all times. Even while it is in storage.
