Just thinking about the work flow for filming with the 333. Maybe it can be possible to have the ability to save all your camera settings to a file? This file could be saved in the camera memory or on the HD. Then perhaps put all the pre filming settings on the same page/tab. At this time you need to go through almost all of the tabs & make one change on each ;-). 




For example perhaps for me would be for pre recording tab:
== '''Filming with 353''' ==


Frame rate recording


Frame rate of the display (I have it at ¼)


Frame size (auto change the streamer frame rate to match that of the camera then have the option to modify?). Make it so you can alter the frame size with the keypad like before. I can not figure out how to do a custom image size.

File size of each recording.
353 24fps full sensor width - Paris Roubaix route


Quality setting. (Now I have skip free video at 70% I wonder if I can get that 90% to work now??? J )

While filming it would be handy to know:

Space remaining on the HD perhaps with an estimate of the time remaining based on the average file length?

Steam quality (it would be good to be able to see the frames being recorded like with the Mencoder so you know if your dropping frames).

Being able to save the settings would probably be the best option of all though!  I realized while filming last week that its best to turn off the tabs & then get to the auto-exposure via the tools icon.  I would love to smoothly adjust the view around the image sensor with the arrow keys? Or fine tune the auto exposure while being able to see a full screen image. I think a manually adjustable auto exposure would be the most widely used tool while filming.




Another idea is to have the zoom function of the static image available when the streamer is running to fine tune the focus?  The only way now is to run the streamer with a low resolution so the image is just a small part of the sensor then focus. As the focus on the 3Mpix sensor is so sensitive you need that instant feedback you get with the streamer.

Had a good run of film in Spain, just forgot to recharge the batteries for the 2nd day of filming which turned out to be a blessing as the 3rd day was much better weather! (between the two days I managed 6.5hrs on the one charge!) Images are from the old editor & maybe replaced if they look better with the new filters etc.


To sum up the last experience with the 333 setup; its really a very cool set up now & I can not wait to get out filming the roads this summer! I would like to film 27fps on the climbs & then go with the wider higher quality 19fps for the descents. This will artificially speed up the video a bit but this will also mean a lower cpu load when the riders spin down these descents at 60mph on the trainer!  The wider image will also add to the feeling of speed while also giving the riders a nicer view.
