New Sony XDCAM - the PMW-100

Jason Watt · August 13th, 2012, 11:53 AM

Few questions from anyone who has used this camera:

1) On the display can you switch the current exposure position of "E99 - E0" to Iris f/stop readings?
2) What is the best record setting to match the EX3's.

I have two EX3's and am trying to match the quality with the PMW-100 on a multi cam shoot.

In lieu of no ND filters on the PMW-100, I would like to match exposures as best as I can on the three cameras.

I know this question was posed a while ago, but, I am wondering if it is possible.

On the display can you switch the current exposure position of "E99 - E0" to Iris f/stop readings?

I have the camera on my desk and haven't been able to find a way to do this. I would like to change it.

Just found the final answer.

There is no F-stop display selection.

The exposure can be set to Auto or Manual in the Camera Set Menu, in Auto mode, exposure area displays “Auto”, when selecting Manual in the menu, exposure can be further selected to be on/off through exposure dial middle button, In both on/off setting exposure display is E99 to E0, when set to on, the dial adjusts the brightness level.
