This book has been updated and re-issued as "The HVX and HPX Book". The original "The HVX Book" is no longer in print. The current "HVX and HPX Book" contains complete coverage of the HVX200 as well as the HPX170 cameras. The HVX Book & The HVX CD is the definitive guide to the revolutionary Panasonic AG-HVX200 and HVX202 camcorders. It presents a comprehensive examination of the camera, all its settings and modes, answers to frequently-asked questions, and tutorials on some of the most common situations HVX users find themselves facing. Over 268 full-color pages, including screen shots depicting the effect of all the menu settings. The accompanying HVX CD includes the camera-original high-resolution still photos that are printed in the book, and 24 different custom "scene files" for creating very different looks in-camera. The CD includes instructions on how to load the pre-made scene files right into your HVX200 or HVX202 camcorder. The HVX Book goes into extensive detail about tips, explanations and techniques of how the HVX cameras work, why they do what they do, and how you can use them best; a detailed examination of all the camera's menu options and settings, what the options mean, and when/why you'd want to use each one; and thorough examinations of all the camera's features, switches, and levers, how they work, how they interact, and how to use the camera for best results. Additionally, the book presents comprehensive tutorials on aperture, shutter speed, depth of field, progressive scan, interlace artifacts, and many, many more subjects, and specifically how they relate to the HVX cameras. The HVX Book is written in plain language that makes it easy to understand for users of all levels. Technical issues are described in ways that make them approachable and practical to even the most non-technical users.
