ltdiver 3 #2 November 21, 2005 " PC 1000 Zooning inand out on opening" Oh shoot...I thought I'd be learning a new technique with 'zooning'. Okay, seriously....at first glance it looks like you're shooting on 'auto focus'. Most of us fly 'manual focus'. Give that a try. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peterpan 0 #3 November 21, 2005 Yes, noticed after I had posted that I spelt zooming wrong, figured everyone would know what I meant! (Big fingers, small keys!) Normally use manual focus but also have tried automatic, does not make a difference on opening the camera zooms in and out on both settings.Regrets are just unfulfilled dreams Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Superfletch 1 #4 November 21, 2005 I have had this problem on opening on my PC105 also... I think it has something to do with the movement of the slider affecting some kind of auto setting on the camera or something. Anyway, it usually doesn't affect the video at all so I just deal with it.

You should change canopy and get something with smoother openings edited... thought it would be something with the canopy and was going to suggest a Crossfire but you already have one...

peterpan 0 #7 November 22, 2005 It's doing it on my tandem canopy as well and that is a very soft opening.Regrets are just unfulfilled dreams Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
