My First HG10 Footage

Nice song. [ Vamp - Trentemoller, Album: The Last Resort ]
I am excited about my new Panasonic SD9 that's going to arrive soon. I've been looking at some stunning HD footage and the HD cameras are soooo nice.

im getting one to decorate my house with. :)

Nothing was slowed down. I just moved very slowly :)

The HG10 was set to Auto mode, so I have no idea what settings it was using. It was totally dark, so this is not that representative of what the HG10 can do. Few people use a camcorder in total darkness. I had just received it that day and since it was February and in Denmark, total darkness starts at around 4.30pm. This was shot at 10pm.

Everything looked slowed down:( Did the camera do it itself or was that done in editing?

Great camera. I still have old tape camcorder and a low budget ($ 150 usd) digital minicamera.

har en mac med final cut express 4.. så det blir nok ikke noe problem.. vurderer å kjøpe canon hg10 eller hf10=D

Yes, I'm satisfied with my HG10 - Are you thinking about getting one yourself?

If so, you might want to look at the HV30/20 as well. Having to change tapes every 20 minutes can be a pain but the HV30/20 has a slightly sharper image and the files are much easier to edit/render on a computer. The AVCHD format (mpeg4) is much harder for a PC to work with than the mpeg2 format of the HV30/20.

You need to make up your mind about these differences.

Are you satisfied with the camera?

omg I'm so stuck right now, i cant change my file format and adobe premiere cant open my footage...does anybody can help me please? any input would be nice! thanks guys...

In my video I wrote 24p. However I'm using a PAL version of the HG10, so in fact it's 25p for me - since I live in Denmark, Europe.

The framerate while recording will always be fixed at 24/25 frames pr. second in p-mode (progressive) and 25/30 frames pr. second i i-mode (interlaced) - ?/? = PAL/NTSC.

If you where thinking of doing high speed or low speed recording, you will need a much more expensive camcorder. However, with the HG10 (and other camcorders) you can slow down and speed up the footage when you edit it - people walking slowly or a snail speeding along.

The NTSC version (North America) records in 24p or 60i while the PAL version (Europe) records in 25p or 50i. P is for progressive and I is for interlaced. You can set the camcorder to a time value of 1/6, 1/12, 1/25, 1/50, 1/120, 1/250, 1/500, 1/1000, 1/2000 but that will not change the framerate though.

i know it can record at 24fps (frames per second) but can it record at higher frame rates? Help Please!
