You're welcome. Depending on your budget Sony is launching a new 4k camera next month for $3195, the z150. Might want to consider that too. The jvc is a great value for $1295.

+illdaddyrod one question. What is the model that you have? Is it GY-HM170U? What is the difference with GY-HM170UA? The one that B&H have is www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1194106-REG/jvc_gy_hm170ua_4kcam_compact_professional.html Which doesnt say have PAL(50i/50p)

Thanks i'll look in to the 2 camera

Aló b tardes muy bueno su video muy bueno ahora mismo estoi configurando mi cámara. Gracias a usted. Un saludo amigo 😊

Thank you for this walk through. I just received mine in the mail. I have a hard time making it work. I am not a professional (obviously), could you do a step by step instruction on how to operate this camera?

Hi,Smooth trans;means smooth transition,example Ur shooting your video in a sunny day and then over sudden the clouds cover pops from ,this means you have to open the iris,so as to increase the light amount on your subject,smooth trans fades it slowly and no abrupt light bunp to your subject.

Hey Nice Video, can you explain in another video what effect each of the menu items actually have on your footage? Thanks...

Hi again, I have a question about the JVC170 I have a media card in the A slot and the view finder says incorrect. When I press rec the message is REC Inhibited. When I put the card in my computer all of the video is there. I also switch the media card lock and nothing happen.

Hey, I will like to ask you how I can find the videos on the camera that I have already recorded?

Hi illdaddyrod, could you advise, I'm using this camera for live streaming with OBS, but I'm unable to clear the LCD screen. If I have the camera set in auto or manual the initial A or M remains on the LCD screen finder. Any help and advice would be much appreciated. Many thanks.

Hey, I’ve got one of these that I’m using, at the moment the video is coming up very grainy and/or pixelated in a dark outbuilding. What can I do in terms of changing settings in order to get rid of this grainy video?? P.S. Unfortunately I cannot film in a better lit room due to Covid-19 Lockdowns.

Hi, quick question when I want to shoot in slow motion on my JVC 170 I go to system, record set,record format put it on high-speed and frame rate 120/30. would that work and also when your shooting it do you see it in slow motion though the camera. Is it better just to shoot it normal and then when you edit it in a program use the slow motion effect. What do you think. Thank You

Lisa Lisa 120/30p usually looks fine. if you want to film normally and slow it down yourself in edit, make sure you use a shutter speed of already 1/250. Keep in mind you'll need good lighting regardless of how you shoot it with those shutter speeds.

Question, we recently got this model and when we first turned it on the screen didn't add up to the footage it was spitting out. It had this old white sheer look to it (Like how our video cameras looked like in the 90s). It's been really frustrating and we've tried resetting it. It's showing both on the LCD display and through the viewfinder. But when we would try to record something and check it out, the footage looked normal. Any idea how to fix it?

Wondering if it's defective. I didn't have to adjust lcd at all but by default camera has peaking set on lcd which you should turn all the way down. It's hard to explain but you still can use regular peaking but the lcd one needs to be turned off. Maybe that might help.

Hello, how are you ? I from Brazil. I followed your tutorial and now the message: rec inhibited. I found some video saying that it is the card in the padlock position but it is not that problem I have a t3i and I did the test and it is recording normal, but when I put the card in jc hm 200 of the message: rec inhibited after I have followed his tutorial. What can it be ? I also changed card. can you help me please ?

My church just got the GY-HM170 and I set up the mixer board to it and adjusted the sound manually cause I'm the musician, but I have messed with nearly every setting on this camera with the media team and nobody what we change the picture stays grainy. I even went outside in the bright sunlight and that was even worse. I turned it to it's lowest setting so it wouldn't be so bright but it still had trouble focusing on logos and words on the church van and the picture just looks awful. Am I doing something wrong or is there a missing setting or do I need to update the firmware? This is horrible.

Hi illdaddyrod, good video, quick question. When I white balance, I just zoom in on a white piece of paper, then press the button in the front of the camera ? It really doesn't seem any different in the view finder is that normal? I stated on white balance B then tried it out. One more question . How do I view what I just video on my view finder. I mean playback.Thank You

@illdaddyrod

Lisa Lisa Thank you. To review your footage just press and hold the mode button. As far as white balancing, make sure entire lens is showing white before you press the button. It should get you really close. You can fine tune it manually. I had the iris button changed to wb and fine tuned it if needed. Hope this helps.

I need help, I started using this camera about 2 months ago works great...but I noticed the last 2 times I used it i'm having real trouble in low light, even if its just slightly dark in the room or outside....if there is no direct fixed lighting its barley usable. faces and everything are black, and its even worse when zooming in..... PLEASE how can I fix this problem.

@illdaddyrod

7 жыл бұрын

Vspree All I can say is this is not the best low light camera. It seems most 4k cameras struggle in low light. As far as getting dark when zooming in, that is the iris closing which is normal for this camera. Unfortunately this is one of the knocks on this camera. it hasn't bothered me at all for the shooting I use it for. This camera really shines outside in daylight. As far as faces being dark in other situations I would suggest a camera reset. That shouldn't be happening. I did a test on my channel which shows my dog rolling around in a low lit room which came out great. Might be a setting on your camera.

Thanks for doing this. Sometimes reading the book can get so dry. I just got mine today and haven't had any time to shoot much with it. I wear glasses and I noticed that I can't see through the eyepiece because it's all a blur. It's better when I take off my glasses. is there a way to adjust that?

is there a reason why I can't hear any audio while i'm recording? Literally my headphone are plugged in and I can't hear anything unless I rematch the video. I want to be able to hear everything while the audio is being recorded, not just replaying it after I finish shooting?

You should be able to hear the audio as it is recording through your headphones. If you're worried about levels, watch the bar on the bottom. You don't want it to go into the red.

On some cameras the max video file is 4gb per file. Don't worry though. When you place then into your timeline it will be fine. You won't be missing anything. It will be smooth with no gaps.

illdaddyrod Thanks but I am filiming a wedding where I am not asked to edit it. And i use this camera that you reviewed so does this camera not have the feature to put everything in one video? Because if I put all the clips in one video editing program I have to render it which takes a lot of time. So there is not the opportunity to change something in the settings? My secon question is: The quality is really weird although I reseted everything and tried a lot. It‘s the same cam and the settings are at HD so what am I doing wrong? Do you have the perfect settings for indoor videos like weddings? Sorry for my bad English :)

You are going through the menu settings, saying we can set it here or there, but aren't saying what certain setting do or its purpose.
