Beginners Guide to using the XF100

A little guide to using the Canon XF100 which is in common use here at UWS. It assumes no knowledge and takes you through the steps from putting camera on tripod, some basic settings to pressing record.

From reading the comments posted you did a great job. I miss a great deal of it because of our language difference. The images helped me to cross the language barrier ...

Hi thanks for the great job i just got myself canon XF100 and the video output is black and white how can i fix it

Why do you use 25 p as a frame rate and not 50i? They say that the last one is better. Thanks!

Thanks so much for this video! I love this camera, but there is one thing that makes it almost unusable for me, regarding the zoom - I wonder if you or anyone can help me with this? I like to use "manual focus", and I focus the old-school way - zoom right in, focus, then zoom back out. I like to use the "Grip Rocker" for zoom, but I am finding that it is way too slow for me, even when I set it to the fastest speed of "16". Don't suppose there is a way to increase the speed of the Grip Rocket beyond this?

Thanks a bundle, I am in a foreign current and do not speak to language. I hired one of these videos, having never used one before, I thought it would be easy, but without your video I would be very lost.

Great guide to the Canon XF100. Can you do one for the JVC GY HM 600? Please.

Thanks for the tutorial - why 1280 x 720 and not 1920 x 1080?

Hi there, My xf 100 records very blurry on the sides, mostly on right side and top..video in the middle looks ok sometimes...is this a lens problem cos i tried all settings, even reset..

How come you want to use the internal mic when you're using an external. Is it better than just running your rode? Right now I'm only using my rode ntg1. I turned off channel two... What do you think.

Why do casting agencies ask us to use an external mic when recording a self-shot video audition? I can hear myself pretty well with the unit's built in mic.

CF cards and not SD cards ? and if yes, what sort precisely of CF ones
