Vortex Media Doug Jensen's Field Guide Book for Sony PXW-FS7 Camcorder, 150 Pages

The Sony PXW-FS7 camcorder is loaded with advanced features and options that can challenge even the most seasoned professional -- and that's why everyone who shoots with an FS7 needs this Field Guide in their camera bag. It has been written with the intention of saving you the trouble of figuring out things on your own or searching endlessly for answers online (which are often wrong or incomplete). This portable Field Guide is loaded with essential information, step-by-step instructions, tips, warnings and page after page of practical advice.

In the no-nonsense style for which Doug Jensen is known, he demystifies the camera, explains its major functions and provides step-by-step instructions for how to use them. His suggestions and advanced techniques will help you improve the quality of your footage, avoid pitfalls, streamline your workflow and make you more productive. No matter how well you think you know your camera, you will learn things in this Field Guide that you didn't know before.

This book is not intended to be an A to Z examination of every aspect of the FS7. It is a "Field Guide," and therefore covers only the most important features and functions that an operator needs to know in order to successfully operate the camera. The book doesn't have to be read from cover to cover. Each chapter stands on its own as a reference guide so that you can learn a specific function or perform a certain task as quickly as possible.

The Field Guide also serves as a hard copy companion to Vortex Media's 6 hour instructional video on the FS7: "Doug Jensen's Sony PXW-FS7 Master Class".
