A gorgeous video test, shot with the Canon HV20
As described by creator Kadir Köymen:
“We used a HV20 plus 3 Fd lenses (described in the video)
The color is not touched. No color correction is applied. In fact the colors turned pale after the export.
In my opinion the best result is achieved by using the camcorders TV mode (50 shutter). The cine mode caused some problems (shutter problems).”
Adding a lens adapter to a Canon HV20 is sheer bliss. Read my earlier posts about setting the shutter speed and frame rate correctly and you will be shooting beautiful images that rival high-end film cameras.
