Sorry. I’ve never heard of that happening. Could be an overheating issue or just a bad camera. Maybe bad firmware. So many different possibilities.

Meaning i couldn’t get into the menu or do anything.. only thing i was able to change was my ISO…? Any thoughts on how to trouble shoot this problem?

thank you for your time,
Kevin

As far as I know, the kind of connection does not determine if you have an interlaced or progressive stream. That would be an issue for the recorder itself or the output settings you’re using.

Do you know why when I record the hdmi output (with black magic hyperdeck V2) I have an unterlaced stream ?
I dont find any information to change that.
Do I have to record by HD-SDIto have a progressive one ?

Alex.

Excellent comment Brian. That is definitely an 8th tip. Zebras are set to make sure there are no areas of brightness that go beyond 100 IRE (Google IRE). For broadcast production, your exposure need to be within a certain IRE range. Waveform monitors are good for that too. I used the WF monitor a few times during the shoot to make sure I wasn’t over exposing.

It’s definitely worth researching how to use and read WF monitors.

Thanks for the tips. As someone who has created an entire career with DSLR’s, the big gotcha for me was the lack of line exposure meter like my 5D has. Waveform Monitor? Zebras? What the bleep are those? Now I love them, but if you are new to an actual “video camera,” I would strongly suggest reading up on those pro grade features in the C300.
