"Mastering the Sony HVR-Z7U and HVR-S270" is the easiest way to learn both the fundamentals and advanced features of the new Sony Z7U, Z5U, FX1000, and S270 camcorders.
This 3-hour, 2-DVD workshop includes tutorials, step-by-step examples, and detailed instructions covering the most important aspects of camera setup, menus, shooting techniques, exposure, the Memory Recording Unit, picture profiles, time-code, assign buttons, shutter speed, special effects, color correction, camera profiles, digital photos, audio, lens options, focus marking, shot transitions, clip importing, white balance, and even how to choose a recording format. This DVD will pay for itself many times over by saving you hours of time figuring out things on your own.
This 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.
