What we have here is a video. The video was recorded at 59.94 fields per second in Full HD resolution. That is 1080i 59.94 or what is commonly referred to as 1080i 60. I shot the video using a camcorder. I had the ability. I am grateful. The camcorder has a brand name and a model name. The brand name is Panasonic. The model name is HDC-SD5PP. I decided. I should. Visit Ala Moana Beach. Take the camcorder with me. Make a video. The date was Saturday, September 14, 2024.
I edited the video. I had the ability. I am grateful. I used a computer. The computer has a brand name, and a model name. The brand name is Apple. The model name is MacMini. The MacMini utilizes an Apple Silicon chip. The Apple Silicon chip has a brand name. The brand is M1. I used a video editing application. The video editing application has a brand name and a model name. The brand name is Black Magic Design. The model name is Da Vinci Resolve 19. The camcorder records video in the AVCHD format. However, I predicted. TH-cam was going to compress the video anyways. For that reason, I decided. I should. Export the edited video in Apple Pro Res 4:2:2 format.
The camcorder has a menu. The menu has settings. I set most of the settings myself. Scene Mode was set to off. Digital Zoom was set to off. Optical Image Stabilization was set to On. Guild Lines was set to off. Rec Mode was set to HG1920. Wind Cut was set to On. Zoom Mic was set to On. Mic Level was set to Auto.
It appears. The camcorder handles shutter speed and iris aperture settings automatically. Conditions on the beach were very sunny. Plenty of light was available. Under these conditions, I predicted. The camcorder would close down the iris aperture. The camcorder would use a very high shutter speed. For example, a very high shutter speed would be something like 1/1000 of a second. In contrast, a film camera typically uses a shutter speed of around 1/2 the frame rate. So for example, let us suppose. The frame rate is 24 frames per second. In that event, the shutter speed would be about 1/48 of a second. I wanted the video to look more or less like film. For that reason, I attached the variable ND filter to the camcorder. The variable ND filter enabled me. I reduced the amount of light coming into the camcorder. The camcorder responded by decreasing the shutter speed. The camcorder responded by opening up the iris aperture. The result is. The video has a more film like appearance than it otherwise would.
The camcorder has built-in stereo microphones. The built-in stereo microphones captured audio. Conditions on the beach were variable. Some times the wind was blowing quite strongly. At other times, the wind was blowing softly. I decided. Some people might want to hear the audio. For that reason, I should. Include the audio.
Overall, I am happy with the performance of the camcorder. The camcorder enabled me. I told a story about a beautiful day in Honolulu, Hawaii. The camcorder captured enough resolution to tell the story. The camcorder did not capture enough resolution to identify people personally. I give special thanks to the beach goers. I give special thanks to the people at Panasonic, Apple, and Black Magic Design. And of course, I give special thanks to the people at TH-cam. You have been generous with your time and energy. Your generosity is an inspiration. You inspire me. I wish us happiness, good health, and prosperity. I offer you my best regards.
