Sony HDR FX1- HVR Z1U HVR Z1E Training DVDs

At last videos that teach you everything about the FX-1 and Z1U Z1E Sony camcorders.

HDR- FX1 HVR Z1U Z1E Made Easy Volume 1 and 2 DVDs by Elite Video

These are both great HD camcorders, the only problem is - there are so many features and functions that you can spend months learning how to master all of its power- if you can decode the users manual.

FINALLY A SOLUTION

These 2 amazing DVD videos take you step by step through all the controls, menu settings and operations of these camera. (and as you may have found out - there are a lot and the menus are deep) - as well as reveal the uses for each setting.

Note- There are some differences in these cameras, and any differences are explained and demonstrated so the videos work for both models.

These videos go into great detail and are a must for every FX-1 and Z1U Z1E owner

For example we reveal the three reasons you might want to adjust the audio line trim and how to do it and what it is for.

Or you learn the 5 ways to make your video look like film (beyond the cineframe mode) and we show examples. Also did you know you can program these cameras to do a rack focus by themselves? You can also preset other types of preplanned moves involving iris and white balance, we show you how to do this too. Everything from Time code functions to picture profile setting is covered.

Hosted by Video veterans Bob Nagy, Zak Smith and John Cooksey. There are over 200 tips tricks and items that we cover in both videos, (2 hours total) (the videos move fast but you can always rewind) . Plus you will understand the different HD modes and their uses. We also cover all the personal menu settings , picture profiles and main menu settings.

In addition you get a bonus section HD film school on the street where you learn how to set up 16 x 9 shots and frame them for maximum effect.

These DVDs come with a 90 day money back guarantee.
