Hey guys, I just bought a Canon XL-2 yesterday ( My first 3 CCD cam!!) and I have been playing around with some settings to get a feel for the camera as well as the best film look I can achieve. I have very little experience with this type of camera and was wondering what settings you guys use? I want to test a variety of configurations to see what I like best. So any advice on fps, shutter speeds, white balance, gain and any other manual controls would be appreciated. I have done some searching and reading on the forums but it's hard to track down some exact settings.
I was also wondering if there are any "rules of thumb" that one should know when working with DV. If I remember correctly I read on a post that your shutter speed should be roughly double your fps? Ex. If I'm shotting at 24fps, my shutter speed should be at 48. Is there any truth in that or did I misunderstand something.
Thanks for your help.
