Sony’s PXW-Z150 and HXR-NX100 camcorders bring high-quality performance, adaptability, and ease of use to a compact, handheld body. Suitable for corporate video, documentaries, news, reality TV, government & military, schools, and houses of worship; the two cameras feature large 1”-type sensors, a Sony G lens with individual rings for focus, iris, and zoom, a 12x optical zoom range, 24x Clear Image Zoom, XAVC codecs, and much more. And the Z150 offers UHD 4K (3840 x 2160) resolution, XDCAM recording formats, and amazing 120 fps continuous slow-motion shooting in full HD.
But, like all professional cameras at this level, the Z150 and NX100 are extremely complex and have a steep learning curve if you hope to take advantage of all the great features they offer. And that’s why Vortex Media produced this Master Class --to help Z150/NX100 owner-operators get started off on the right foot. This 4.5-hour training video series is simply the most thorough and efficient way to learn both the fundamentals and the advanced features of these great little camcorders.
Doug Jensen, a director of photography with over two dozen Sony camcorder training videos and books to his credit, leads you through all the major features and functions of Z150/NX100. Not only does Doug tell you "what" a feature does, he also explains "why", "when", and "how" to use it. This is as close to a one-on-one training session with Doug Jensen as you can get without actually hiring him yourself for personal instruction. In no time at all he’ll have you up to speed on all of your camera’s most important features and functions -- plus Doug shares his favorite custom settings, picture profiles, best practices, and dozens of tips and tricks.
In the no-nonsense style for which Doug Jensen is known, he cuts through the clutter of confusing, misunderstood, and undocumented features. He demystifies the camera and explains each of its functions while providing practical, step-by-step instructions for how to use them. His suggestions and advanced techniques will improve the quality of your footage, streamline your workflow, and make you more productive.
Topics include: Getting Started, Understanding the Menu System, choosing the right Recording Format, Paint Menus, Picture Profiles, Setting Exposure, White Balance, Markers, Memory Cards, Clear Image Zoom, Digital Extender, Nightshot, Zebra, Peaking, Video Monitoring & Output, Slow-Motion, Assign Buttons, Audio Recording, Camera Profiles, Audio recording, Timecode, Time-lapse, Wi-Fi Control, Playback Operation, Ingesting & Archiving, the basics of Catalyst Browse, and much more.
This master class is a completely independent production with no sponsorship, input, or approval from Sony. It delivers unbiased information and professional advice that can’t be found from any other source.
