Very nice shots and excellent video quality!

Any special settings on the cam?

Replied to your comment, but forgot to hit the reply button.. See below.

Most of this was shot using the 24p mode. A few shots like the chameleon were taken with one of the florescent light white balance. Other than that Auto for the most part. I do have a UV filter on it, and did tweak some of the colours in final cut express. But nothing major.
Thanks for the comments.

Thanks; very nice video. I see a little sad faces in the africans animals living in the snow.

Agreed, I thought the Zebra was an interesting shot for that very reason.

What did you use for the soundtrack?
Jon Ross 10 months ago

Glad you asked because I had meant to put that up. I used two tracks from incompetech.com/ that provides royalty free tunes.
The first one was incompetech.com/m/c/royalty-free/index.html?keywords=Accralate and the second was incompetech.com/m/c/royalty-free/index.html?keywords=Monkoto

It all fit beautifully. Thanks for the info!

Thanks for the footage. Quick question: I believe you used the manual focus with the new control dial at 0:23 since it's pretty smooth. Given that internal mic is right next to it, does it pick up any noise from rotatng the dial?
Jon Ross 10 months ago

Your right I did do some manual focusing. But it was done with the joystick on the viewfinder, and the joystick is pretty smooth, the mic doesn't pick that up. There is that custom dial by the front of the camcorder, but I don't have it assigned to focus. I will try that though and post some sample footage with audio to see what it picks up.

Hi Jon-

Great great video. One quick question. You had a quick shot around 5:47 where you are tracking a bird walking on a fence. Did you do that handheld or were you using a monopod or similar device?
Jon Ross 10 months ago

Thanks Jared,
Most of the video was taken using a monopod. However that bird was taken just by hand, with image stabilization turned on.

Jon, how have you got your footage so smooth in 24p mode? I've just bought myself a HFS100, and I can only choose between 50i or PF25. In the PF25 mode, everything is so jittery & bitty when trying to film anything. Any advice?
Jon Ross 9 months ago

Well I do use a monopod when possible. As for the settings though, just the cinemode 24p. Which I believe does 24p in a 60i container.
Christian Nitteberg 7 months ago

Steven Sparrow, you probably have the european version and as far as I know it only has 25p not 24p. You need to be very careful with handheld motion when using this mode or you will get jitter!
