I am shooting with a C300, yet again. Producer wants 30fps. Is the camera doing a true 30fps? Should I set my 788 to 30 or 29.97ndf? Thank you.

It's not about if a camera should record sound or not... Neither if it's the job of the dop to do it... But just if a camera can technically handle it or not. Here to start with that topic :

You may find this interesting. From the 'Retro Thing' website. "The Kameradatenbank features a fantastic collection of movie camera photos from six German library and museum collections. Twenty four different film formats are represented, ranging from Regular 8mm through massive 60 mm cine monsters." There is a link dwon the page to the actual data bank.

Quick question, on set right now and we're wondering; When the camera rolls 50 fps and the sound 25 fps is the first frame of video/audio in sync? In otherwords does the audioclip sync with the videoclip on the first frame? Thanks!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is our first new forum section in many years. The hope is that this categorization will provide a place for discussions specifically about the cameras we all work with. Not restricted to the RED camera (though I am sure discussions of that particular camera and all its variations will continue for some time).

Was confronted with this little rig the other day - Sony A7S with Atomos Shogun. Claims to do timecode, but without any input/output terminal, however it does have a Genlock BNC !? Timecode optionally embedded in HDMI output Sets whether or not to layer the TC (time code) information on the output signal via the HDMI terminal when outputting the signal to other professional-use devices. but then says - When [TC Output] is set to [On], the image may not be output properly to the TV or recording device. In such cases, set [TC Output] to [Off]. Good job I took my timecode slate. Plus the Shogun can - Audio: The Shogun can record 12 channels of digital audio em…

I worked with the C500 the other day, and I like it even less than the C300. First, the fans are really loud! They only have two settings, ON, and AUTOMATIC. Neither of which are satisfactory for getting good sound. ON means 100% fan speed, which to my ears was about equivalent to an Epic on 50% or so. AUTOMATIC kicks the fans down to a manageable level, but on my shoot, it lasted two takes of about 45 seconds each, then the fans slowly started ramping up speed, until an overheat error came on screen and they kicked back up to full. The worst part was the fan speed kept changing until it overheated and kicked on full. I decided I'd rather give post a track with a h…

Working with this camera today, well equipped for a small camera, BNC genlock/timecode in. Using the 30p frame rate option, manual makes no mention of 29.98. Does anyone know if this means it is true 30fps

I'm working on a shoot with a C300, 1D-C and 5d. I'm recording to 664, sending audio and TC to C300 hardwire, and sending a mono scratch track to 1D-C and 5d via lectro 401. C300 and 5d are fine, but 1D-C is failing to record the scratch track. I'm sending it line level (as per 1D-C menu). The level setting menu sees tone but upon playback there is no sound. We've managed to work around it by keeping the 1D -C close and opening camera mic, but obviously, this won't work all the time. Has anybody experienced similar problems?

I mixed a pretty simple Under Armour spot last week, and while half the shoot was phantom flex footage of flame throwers, metal grinders and welders, the other half was interviews using 2 5D MK III... Which I have to say, put a little smile on my face. It now features 3 audio specific improvements that seem pretty good. 1. TIMECODE - it now has the ability to run as a master for TC... Unfortunately, not slave yet, but it proved helpful at some points... I didn't try to jam out of it to a slate yet, but I'm wondering if the headphone jack acts as a possible jam out. 2. Audio levels on main screen can be seen AND levels can be changed! I was running a G3 hop t…

On a shoot today the DP had a Canon 5D MkII. Audio was sent wireless to camera via a Sennheiser EW100 G3. Good audio levels were showing up on the audio screen of the 5D, but audio was not recorded onto the CF card. Picture was fine. Internal camera mic worked as well. No problems with the hop or cables, and the meters were reading good input level on the camera. Super strange... Anybody run into this problem in the field? BTW, audio was captured on the SD664 with ease!!! Steve Wytas www.audio911.com

http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/professional/products/professional_cameras/digital_slr_cameras/eos_6d Nothing really new on our end except for the alleged timecode feature. There's no port for it, so I assume it's LTC via the mic jack. Anyone know anything about this yet?

I went through the menu on this camera, went to the audio section, but couldn't find any audio recording settings. Where in the heck do you change the audio sampling rate to 24 bit, 48kHz?

The JWS Canon C300 Audio thread had a lot of great info. I've worked with the camera before on a commercial. The camera was set to Time of Day free run. I jammed my recorder and slate from the Canon, but timecode had some drift. (Maybe 24 was really 23.98 and the AC and I were not aware of the "24 is 24" issue???) I have a shoot coming up with a C300 with my new Timecode Buddy system. Since there is no 12V tap on the C300 (unless they have a V mount and D-Tap), looks like I'd have to have the TC Buddy master unit on the camera (velcro'd to some gaffer taped adapter plate on the back of the flimsy LCD monitor). Looks like I'd send TC to the tx unit from the recorder …

I recently recorded some interviews in quiet rooms that were shot on a C300. The interviews took a few hours each. After some time, with the room heating up from the lights, I noticed the camera getting louder, fan noise or something similar to what we know from Red cameras that aren't set to quiet mode. I quickly went through the camera menu but couldn't find any such setting comparable to Red or Alexa quiet modes. The DP didn't know either. Is there such a setting?

Hey guys, Wanted to ask a quick question on the forum here about the Canon C300 Mark 2. I have used its previous model in the C300 awhile back where I was having minor timecode issues. Does anyone know, Does the Canon C300 Mark2 hold timecode well without the addition of a Lockitbox? Trying to make the Audio footprint as small as possible on Camera Rigs. Thanks!

We have been using the rode videomic NTG's on both our Canon C70's and they had been working perfectly. Our camera ops never had to think about them when turning on the camera since they would turn on as the camera would turn on. However recently we've noticed they stopped turning on automatically when powering up the cameras. That now we have to manually turn them on. The microphones themselves are still working fine, it's just that this feature is no longer working. I've contacted RODE and even updated the firmware and done whatever tasks they had suggested. But in the end this feature still wasn't working and they suggested to just send it in for repairs. …

Hi Everyone, Noticing an issue with with my Canon 7D internal "in-camera" audio. I would like to use Pluraleyes to do the syncing and have found it works well matching scratch camera audio to external audio recorder tracks. However, the problem lies in the fact that the Canon 7d's "internal" audio from the camera's own mic is not truly in sync with it's own in-camera video. The audio comes in 1-2 frames before the picture. I shot 1920 x 1080 footage at 24p (internal camera settings) with the internal camera audio at it's 48kHz default. I shot a handclap to camera (no external audio at all) and then view the clip it on the FCP timeline : the audio de…

So I have worked with the Canon C300, and jammed my recorder to the camera. How do I jam with a Canon 1DC? I have a 664 recorder. Is there a timecode input/output on the camera? I know that the C500 has one.

I know the Rebel added video, but I never worked with one. Has anyone? Anything different I should know? They are specifically asking for a mix feed to the camera, and I'll have my recorder rolling as well. I'll probably use my ERX1TCD, unless there is some reason not to. thanks!
