HandsOnHDV Guide to the Sony Z1U & FX1

" A Complete Guide to Shooting with the Sony HVR-Z1U & HDR-FX1 " is the easiest way to learn both the fundamentals and advanced features of these camcorders.

This DVD is a "must-see" for any HDV owner who wants detailed explanations, examples, tutorials, tips, advice, and features explained to them in simple no-nonsense terms.

This is a completely independent production with no participation, sponsorship, input, or approval from Sony -- so it delivers unbiased information and professional advice that can't be found in the owner's manual.

Like all Vortex Media training DVDs, this workshop has been carefully researched, planned and scripted (not presented as"live" or ad lib). This DVD was produced by professionals with years of broadcast-level experience who have the knowledge to recognize what's important about the Sony HVR-Z1U and how to teach it without getting bogged down in jargon or unnecessary technical details.

This is not a bench-top demonstration or in-studio camera review. It is an in-depth training video with shooting done by professionals with years of ENG/EFP broadcast shooting experience. Shooting took place over a four week period in many locations of the country, under different conditions, indoors, outdoors, lit, natural light, sports, b-roll, interview setups, and in-studio, to give as much variety as possible to the demonstrations and examples.

An EXTRAS folder is included on the DVD with several exclusive documents, including: A detailed reference chart that outlines every customizable setting of all six of the default Picture Profiles so you can compare them and see the differences. Also included is a comparison chart of the major differences between the Z1 and the FX1. Some features discussed in the video only apply to the Sony HVR-Z1U and this chart helps identify those differences.
