This 3-hour, 2-disc (DVD video) workshop includes tutorials, step-by-step examples, and detailed instructions covering the most important aspects of camera setup, menus, shooting techniques, clip naming, file management, clip importing, picture profile settings, basic editing, and even archiving. This DVD will pay for itself many times over by saving you hours of time figuring out things on your own. "Mastering the Sony PMW-EX3" 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. This video workshop is designed to help anyone, from a novice to an experienced ENG/EFP shooter, get the best results from their EX3. The DVD provides real-world examples and suggested techniques that are simple to put into practice. 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 EX3 and how to teach it without getting bogged down in jargon or unnecessary technical details.TOPICS COVERED Clip naming suggestions that will avoid disaster in postHow to archive 2 copies of all clips for less than $.65/GBTips for setting exposure accuratelySuggested Picture Profile settingsSuggested focusing techniquesRecommended settings for the Assign ButtonsSuggestions for time-code settingsWarnings about some features and settings to avoidB&W vs. Color viewfinder settingsSuggested Shutter Speeds for various recording modesTips for better looking Time-lapse clipsRecording slow-motionDeleting clips on-the-flySplitting clipsGetting a perfect white balanceMonitoring options for the EX3Managing storage space on the memory cardsImporting clips into your computerManaging clips, making back-up copies, and archivingXDCAM Transfer overview settingsComparisons of various shooting modesStep-by-step instructions for import and archive CHAPTERSDISC 1 1.
