You are correct. It's a little more like 9mm-45mm, but close enough. Just remember that because you are using a shorter focal length for the same lens angle the depth of field increases. You probably already know that, but... Best of luck!

Regular SD video is approximately 480 lines of resolution. That is to say that if you divided the screen into horizontal lines there would be 480 of them from top to bottom. The biggest issue with "lipstick cameras" (because of their size and shape) is that most, because of their compact size...

I assume you're shooting video otherwise you wouldn't be asking the way you are. You can sort of make it happen. The only way I can think of is to have either a CTO gel or something similarly orange that you can put over the lens or focus the lens on while under tungsten lights. When you white...

If you are trying to get people at different distances from the lens to look like they are all in focus it depends on a lot of factors because you are talking about depth of field. If you are shooting 35mm or a similar sized frame (i.e. Panavision Genesis or Arri D-20) you are limited to using...

NiMH batteries do develop a charge memory so if you don't use all the battery and charge it back to full eventually it will develop a shorter charge. It takes a while and quite a few uses to do this, though. And there is a way to bring them back. It is very time consuming but it could...

I think you'd be right to use tungsten balanced stock since the color temp at magic hour is closer to that than daylight. You'd need a color temperature meter to be sure, though. If you have access to one I'd go out for a few days before shooting to test. If you can do an actual shooting...

Just to clear the air: The current industry standard for "high-definition" is 720p or 1080i. It is recognized by engineers that these two formats are barely discernable even to the trained eye. That being said: The Canon XL H1 shoots 1080i. The HVX 200 shoots 720p. So according to "industry...
