    Cool video !

    I have one question: What settings did you use on your GH1 to use the FD lens with the adapter?
  • Roland Cadieux plus 6 months ago
    Thanks! you have to be sure to set shot without lens in the menu to use Fd lens. Camera setting; 720p60 - Motion picture mode, ND filters used (Cokin P) 1/60 shutter speed, iso 100.

    ND filter can keep low shutter speed during sunny days ?

    Could you explain more, thank Roland !
  • Roland Cadieux plus 5 months ago
    ND (neutral density) filter simply reduces the amount of light that reaches the camera lens. This allows you to use slower shutter speeds (to keep shooting at 1/60 or 1/120 in bright area for slow motion effect in post) or a wider aperture (for shallow DOF)

    more info; en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutral_density_filter

    Thank you very much

    I never use a ND filter when recording with camcorder, so that I cannot imagine how it work !

    When I use ND filter with my DSLR camera, it can make slower shutter speeds when I take a photograph.

    Is it the same in camcorder ? Shutter speeds when recording by the camcorder ?????
  • Roland Cadieux plus 5 months ago
    It should be the same if you have the possibility to adjust the shutter speeds, I had a Sony Fx7 and there was two ND filter incorporate that you can used when ever the camera tell you that you needed it...

    I'm sorry Roland, I have just read the review of GH1. It said that: Users can manually change the shutter speed and aperture settings while recording clips. I dont know this detail. At first, I think it the same with my D90 Nikon.

    Thanks a lot !

    Merci pour cette ballade dans Montréal ! Très belle image et beau montage (j'aime beaucoup l'effet backwards sur la fin) ... Juste une question : quel est cet engin utilisé par les policiers à 1:28 ?? :-)
  • Roland Cadieux plus 5 months ago
    Merci Emeric! A dire vrai, c'était la première fois que je voyais ce genre de véhicule...

    Very nice video. One thing I am think as watching it though, is why did you not record one of the buskers songs and use natural sound?
  • Roland Cadieux plus 5 months ago
    Thanks Lauri! I have a version of this video with the original buskers songs, the audio is from the cam, its not the best. I should have brought a device recorder with me.

    Bonjour Roland,
    Merci pour vos films et surtout pour votre gentillesse. Je dois me décier pour acheter soit la Panasonic GH1 ou encore la Canon 7D qui sort dans quelques jours. Selon vous, quel est le meilleur choix ? Je sais que les lentilles coûtent cher avec ce type de caméra. Celles que vous utilisez avec le GH1 sont chères aussi ?
    Merci de votre réponse.
    F.
  • Roland Cadieux plus 2 months ago
    Bonjour Francis, désolé du retard pour la réponse, probablement que tu t'es décidé concernant ton choix de caméra.

    J'utilise beaucoup les lentilles Canon FD qui datent des années 80, très abordable sur ebay. Avec un adapteur d'environ 75$ tu peux les utiliser sur la GH1, mes deux dernier clip sont fait avec les FD.

    Bonjour Roland,
    Merci ! En effet, le résultat est superbe.

    Vous avez raison, j'ai fait mon choix : Canon 7D. La principale raison qui a motivé ma décision est le fait que je peux partager des lentilles avec un collègue, des pièces chères et précieuses. En revanche, si j'en avais les moyens, j'aurais acheté un GH1 dont j'apprécie particulièrement le fonctionnement.
