CPL , ND filter or both in video mode ?

Hello guys,
Back again with a general outdoor video shooting question.
In order to avoid overexposure in daytime maintaining 24fps at low ISO ,wide open aperture, 1/50 for example ,do you use any ND or CPL (or both) filters on you lenses ?
As far as I know these filters are complementary ,the ND will reduce the brightness and CPL will darken skies for richer blues, will reduce reflections from water, cut glare from vegetation and pump up overall color saturation in the images.
Thank you,
Solved!

If it is bright enough you can use both. But it also depends on your ND strength. CPL normally will be around 1.5 -2 stop dark. If you have 3-stop ND, then if you stack them together you'll get around 5 stop darker. If you use wide angle lens, it may show some vignette.

Can i use both Component video and HDMI?

Hi guys,
Im wondering if its possible to connect both Component video and HDMI on the ATV?
Its currently connected to HDMI on our main HD TV, however, the apartment we have has a strange setup in which you must send RF signals to a loop back in the main room to reach all other TV's.
We dont have the capital for either another flatscreen TV or a second Apple TV until next year - so currently we've got an older (see 2004) bulk of a CRT TV upstairs and my thought was i could route a signal to the RF loop back from the ATV and use my iphone remote to control what it plays to view upstairs.
For this id need a component to composite/rf convertor which ive found so sending the signal is no problem, but what would happen if i were to connect component cables as well as the HDMI, does the ATV output on both, or priortise the HDMI?

When both types of cable are connected to the tv at the same time, the HDMI connection will be on by default but the component is turned off... and what happens if the source to the HDMI cable is off - eg its plugged in but its got no where to send the signal, would it still not send to the component?.. You mean if the tv was off, same thing, HDMI would take precedence.
Are you sure about this, Winston? I have only 2 component (and 2 HDMI) inputs on my Panasonic HDTV. For this reason I invested in an Audio Authority Component Switcher (Model 1154A) a few years ago. When the TV device arrived I connected it directly to the HDTV via my HDMI-2 HDTV input and also connected the component video and optical audio to the switcher. I have no problem using the HDTV's input selector to switch back and forth between component and HDMI lines. While I admit I cannot split the screen between an HDMI input and anything else for simultaneous viewing, I can leave both lines plugged in and switch between the two lines. In addition, the activity light on the switcher indicates there is a signal present on the switcher even when I am watching the HDMI line. (Of course, this may simply be triggered by the switcher's optical audio signal since I normally watch the TV video via the HDMI line (with HDMI audio muted) and use the optical audio line to drive my receiver's AC3 decoder so I can enjoy 5.1 audio with my latest conversions.) Am, therefore, wondering if the OP may have the same capability and could then simply switch to a different input mode to "de-negotiate" his HDMI connection and allow access to whatever component device he needs as long as he doesn't need simultaneous viewing on both TVs.

My classic video ipod won't switch back to regular video mode after using it on an elliptical. The port still allows me to charge and works on the elliptical and treadmill but it will no longer change modes to allow me to watch my shows on the ipod screen

From the iPod's Main Menu choose Videos -> Settings and make sure TV Out is set to Off.
Otherwise, try a hard reset as well. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

Video exposure not working in all 3 video modes new iphone 6 Plus ios 8.1

Bug 1. In video mode, exposure does not automatically brighten in darkly lit areas - then when you touch the screen to focus and try and use the sun slider for upping or lowering the exposure, you have to swipe it many, many times to go a short distance, then IT ONLY WORKS TO DARKEN THE EXPOSURE, IT DOES NOT LIGHTEN IT IN ALL 3 VIDEO MODES. It works fine in Photo mode. Go to this video at :54 to see it working properly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tehcNa3ecs4#t=75
Bug 2: Slo-Motion videos will play back on computers in slow motion ONLY if the base frame rate is set to 60 fps and the Slo-mo speed is set to 240fps. With any other settings the computer (both win and mac) play the video back at full speed.
Especially with bug 1, can any of you check your phone to see if sliding your finger up will brighten the image while in any of the 3 video modes?

Hi,
I'm having also having game sound issues the game music and sounds just go completely quiet in iOS 8.1. Sometimes it'll just be completely quiet and others I'll have game music and sounds and partway through the game I'll lose audio. It's not the side lock/mute button either which I checked.
It's happening in two different games: Shadowgun:Deadzone and Modern Combat 5.
I have that side button above the volume set to toggle mute and I tried changing it to lock rotation instead to see if that made a difference which it did not. I have to kill the game and relaunch it to get the game audio working again.

Digital Input Cannot Display this Video Mode Optimum Resolution 1280 x 1024 60hz.

HP Pavilion h8-1360t, Windows7 home premium 64-bit, AMD Radeon HD 7570 graphics card.
error message: Digital Input Cannot Display this Video Mode Optimum Resolution 1280 x 1024 60hz.
I get the error message as soon as Windows opens and the desktop displays. Then it goes black with that message. I've been using the computer for awhile and I had it so that when I maximized a window it would go across both screens. I have two monitors on the graphics card. Somehow I changed the settings so that a program would maximize to one monitor or the other. That is how I want it to work. Maybe I activated HydraVision. Now I have the problem when I start.
Also now when I boot to Safe Mode I get the message that there is no AMD graphics driver installed, or it is not functioning properly. I have tried to update it and the computer tells me I have the most recent version installed. I would like to uninstall it and reinstall it, but I'm a little worried I won't get it installed and be without video. Something like that happened to me once before years ago.
Could someone tell me what I should do please?
Thanks,
Jim Allen

HP support is here:

In safe mode you should uninstall the driver, then try to boot normal again.
Then check if driver was installed by win7.
If not go go AMD website and download latest driver for your card.

Nokia 808 Video mode - Jerking problem

The Jerking only happen when video mode happen on all setting 1080p,720p,360p. So I guess someone really happen in the hardware itself. Yes I tried touch screen zoom in this video and also volume button in the middle of the video. Both having the jerking 2 to 3 times starting from 1/3 of the zooming.
Zoom function is work perfectly find on photo taking mode tested on 8mp 5mp 2mp.
I have taken a sample here
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=kYsYaQRkrYw
I don't think its normal to have the jerk. Is my set having problem?

ok guys. I had sent my set to Nokia service centre for repaired. It factory reset everything and upgrade to FP2. Now the camera looks smoother I notice video stablisations 'on' will cause the shaking of video zoom.
On video mode ,the jerking problem is back.
To fix the problem I try to go to picture mode and off the stablisation and test swype the zoom afew times and back to video mode the problem is gone.
So the problem is:
It will jerk everytime I try to zoom in video mode. Picture mode not so obvious since it zoom very fast and don't takes video. Only video mode will be affected.
temporary solution found
go to picture mode and off the stablisation and test swype the zoom afew times and back to video mode the problem is gone for a while.
If i try to use the zoom often like 30times or more, somehow it triggle it to cause the jerking and have to disable stablisation and go picture mode and swype zooming afew times which somehow will recover from the unstable zooming. back to video mode and test it should be ok now.
Is anyone out there having the same issue too?

Kernel boot video mode

Just did pacman -Syu for the first time in a long time.
Using lilo.
Lilo boots fine and starts unpacking the kernel in the "normal" video mode.
However, as soon as the kernel takes over, the video mode switches to a large mode (don't know which one) where most of the text is actually off the bottom of the screen. Almost like the kernel thinks it's in the "normal" mode, but the video card jumped into a different mode. I'm not sure about that theory, though.
I'm still able to login and startx. But the console mode is nearly useless.
I tried adding vga=ask to my lilo.conf
It asks and I reply but the kernel (or hardware) still jumps into a useless mode.
I tried typing vga=normal at the lilo command line... same deal.
Any thoughts? theories?
Just for reference is there a way to revert back to my old kernel or did pacman -Syu change too much to bother with that?
thanks for helping an old newbie
TheGipp

ack! another clue
/sbin/lilo reports this:
/proc/misc: No entry for device-mapper found
Is device-mapper driver missing from kernel?
Failure to communicate with kernel device-mapper driver.
I hadn't noticed that before.
That's probably another problem that I need to work.
any help?

Skype reports insufficient processor power to work in video mode

Skype reports insufficient processor power to work in video mode
I am running Windows 7 latest revision and have loaded the full set of the latest drivers into my S10-3. When I run a fresh install of Skype (latest full release or the Beta), I get a message comes up saying that Skype is unable to run a video session or is unable to run at any reasonable quality in video mode. The pop-up says to quit all other applications, but there are none running. Skype help suggests trying the Beta version if on the latest release or reinstalling the latest release if on the Beta version. I have tried this. The S10-3 must be capable of running Skype or why bother putting a camera in the machine. Anyone got any ideas please?
Regards
Partsboy

Hi,
your S10-3 should be able to work with skype,, my formerly S10e with N270 (equipped with 2GB mem )works well with Skype
installed memory is 1GB or 2GB ?
...and here you can get oldversion

Cannot fast forward in music video mode. How can I accomplish this

Cannot fast forward in music video mode. How can I accomplish this. Cannot rewind either. Am I missing something? If I change the Music Video to TV Show or Movie can both rewind or fast forward. For now all concert videos are in Movies, which might be the right place for them, but kinda weird Itunes does this.

I am by no mean an expert and I'm sure there are easier ways to accomplish this... however one way is to do something like this:
-Use selection tool to select all blue background, soften the edges of the selection then delete the selection.
-Here you will have a white background and dull looking image with not the greatest edges.
-Zoom waaaay in and use a softer eraser brush on the edges.
-Use various sharpening, brightening, white levels adjustments to make your image prettier.
-Pay attention to the diamond, select the diamond with a selector tool and sharpen, etc. Consider adding a layer to add additional detail to just the diamond.
-Consider using the clone stamp to smooth out any markings on the silver tone band.

Does DVI to Video adapter send both s-video and composite simoutanesly?

Hi,
I´m wondering if you connect the DVI to Video adapter on the new MacMini (DVI to s-video+composite), does the Mini send BOTH s-video and composite at the same time?
If connected to TV and projector, I want to see both simotanesly, not neede to change something in the setup...
The both having same resolution I guess is a must!
Regards,
Pat

Yes, many think, but i´ve havnt heard anyone whoose sure?! Can´t be such a odd thing, connect a Mini to two displays at same same time...

HT1399 Why cant I create a playlist for my music/song videos? Continuous play is also not possible in the video app on the phone!!!! previously, prior to IOS 6, it was possible to have both music videos & songs mixed in the same playlist in the music app

Why cant I create a playlist for my music/song videos? Continuous play is also not possible in the video app on the phone!!!! previously, prior to IOS 6, it was possible to have both music videos & songs mixed in the same playlist in the music app

I am back with an update. I turned off Match on both the ipad and the iphone 5. By doing so I was able to sync my Iphone and ipad to itunes and store the music on my devices rather than the slow streaming. So far this has fixed my problems with the iphone I have all my music, playlist, most of the album art and so on. But the ipad is a different story. I have the music and artist but not one playlist I am sure Apple will have an upgrade soon that will address these issues they are usually very good about this.
Now have any of you experienced another problem that has existed as long as I have used faces in Aperture.
I have over 200 faces and they are organized a-z problem is I have this going on A-Z folowed by a few that start over A-Z followed by another few A-Z and again a 4th time A-Z. Imagine how difficult it is while I am showing someone the great features of my iphone, ipad and imac. Which I do talk highly of all the time. But how do I explain that even though their name starts with a or b or what ever they are not important enough to me to be in the first list of A-Z or even the 2nd or 3rd list of A-Z someohow they are in the 4th section of the list!!!!
I have managed to get the Imac to fix this but for some reason the IOS devices do not. Any ideas?
Thanks Al

Does the video adapter output both S-Video and Composite simultaneously?

I have a multi-zone receiver which converts S-Video to component for the main zone and passes S-Video signals through to zone 2 but does not convert them to composite which is how that zone is set up. I solved a similar problem with my DVD player by connecting both the component output and composite output of the DVD player to the receiver allowing high quality viewing in the lounge room and passable viewing in the bedroom.
I realise the quality from the adapter is questionable particularly for composite but I'm still interested if both S-Video and composite signals are output from the MBP 17" via the adapter simultanesouly.
Thanks,
Max.

I have a follow-up question which may help answer the original question. Does the MBP have to detect the external display when connected via S-Video/Composite in the same way that it has to when connected via DVI? My Dell notebook had so much trouble detecting composite and S-Video connections that eventually I gave up so I'm a little "once bitten twice shy" on this. If the MBP doesn't attempt to detect the external display via S-Video or composite then it must output both S-Video and Composite signals continuously (which would be great).
Thanks,
Max.

Monitor says VIDEO MODE NOT SUPPORTED after changing display settings

HELP! I am about to have a nervous breakdown with my mac mini! I hooked up the mac to my Philips LCD via DVI. No problem at all. But because the screen is only 15" I wanted to play around with the display settings a bit. So I changed the resolution from it's original 1204x768 to the one higher (not sure of numbers) and to my HORROR, I now can't get any picture at all - it says "VIDEO MODE NOT SUPPORTED". I have tried everything I can think of. I have rest the P-RAM, I have unplugged all cables, plugged the back in again, I bought the mac into work and hooked it up to my monitor and changed the resolution back to 1024x768 which is what it was on originally and that STILL didn't work. I can see the Apple logo and then it goes black and comes up with the error message. HELP! What am I doing wrong - I can't believe one click of a mouse button has rendered my display useless!!!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Try booting the mini without the display connected, and then, once the system is running, connect the display. This will often force the system to default to a low resolution, and then correctly detect the display when it is connected.
If that doesn't help, with the display connected, boot into safe mode (hold the shift key down when starting up) and once the system is running, change the resolution to 1024x768, and ensure the correct refresh rate is selected. Rebooting normally ought then to give you a good display.
If all else fails, boot into safe mode with the display connected, and then in the Finder's file menu, use the 'find' option to search for 'windowserver' (no quotes). You should get 2 or 3 results, including one with a string of alphanumeric characters. Move all of them to the trash and restart normally.

I Can No Longer Switch My Camera to Video Mode

After my ipad had a new update recently, I can no longer switch my camera from camera to video mode. I lost all of my pictures and videoes as well. How can I get them back and have my camera working like before? It does switch from back to front, but the video button does not work.

Try sliding the words "Video" "Photo" "Square" instead of tapping them. Weird, I know, but it works.
