Canon XH A1 & DOF Adapters
This is a cool little video series I found today while taking a render break from editing a project about the Canon XH A1 HDV camcorder that actually gave me a bit more information that I’d already known, just about HDV itself. I’ve only watched the first episode so far, but I’ll post all three for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy the information and go check out filmmaking.com, the site that hosts a few featured videos on the top of their page as well as links to tons of other resources around the internet for filmmakers.

Oh no problem, glad you enjoyed them. From your comment it sounds like you thought I made them, and that is not me in the video. I just found them and reposted them, hoping to help out people like you who’d stumble upon my blog here. But that aside, I am glad you found them helpful.

Very useful information, Kyle. I have recently purchased an EX A1 Canon and the depth of field adapter (and wide-angle lens) are on the ‘must-have’ list. My first project was a disaster… Capturing in HD with standard definition tapes and having the gains (accidentally) set at the highest level. You mentioned the loss of light with a dof adapter and your advice on preparation is appreciated. The ability of the adapter developed by Mr Lee to use standard SLR lenses is also useful information for a novice.
Kind regards
