panasonic dvx-100 | focus chart & tricks
|
The following focus chart came with the camera a friend of mine purchased. I believe this chart can be found elsewhere on the internet, but I've included it here. I had a chance to check the numbers and they all appear to be correct.
Update: I received an email that informed me that this chart was originally created by Evin Grant and posted on 2-pop. Thanks for the info and thank you Evin for your time in creating this chart whose information has been a HUGE help to many DVX users!! Also, in a recent CML thread, the subject of metric conversions came up, so I decided to also write up a metric version of the chart. I converted the feet/inches to centimeters and meters. HOW TO USE THE CHART: The measurements are taken from the rear of the accessory shoe located on the handle or from the zoom ring pin when set in the threaded hole on the handle. To make it easy to refer to, I would suggest printing the chart very small, laminating the chart and putting Velcro on the back. I've stuck mine on the outside of the flip out monitor as well as on the "eye-brow" of the matte box. |

Here are some tricks I found on other websites for this camera. To access the hidden diagnostic menu in the AG-DVX100: Simultaneously press and hold the AudioDub button and the Rewind button, then press Menu. It'll bring up the regular menu and you'll see there are two new menus, #8 and #9. |
