Flashing Temp Light Vw

but it is unsettling to have the upstream light flashing

I've had this camcorder for approx. 4 weeks and have tested it under day and night shooting with and without additional light sources (white and IR lights). I also own a Panasonic HC-W850K which is a few models earlier and thankfully this one has performed even better to that excellent one. I've found this camcorder to be very well built, quick to focus (mostly), light weight with well laid out controls. It's a prosumer camcorder, don't compare it with professional ones; that said when compared to other prosumer camcorders it more than holds it's own. I say Prosumer based on the Leica lens; Leica lens are held to a high, repeatable standard so images\videos are identical quality between same models cameras. IR night shooting is exceptional when you add an IR light source. The built in IR light is ok but limited; for serious night shooting you need to add additional IR sources, but this is a standard requirement for real night shooting. 4K file sizes are large so you'll need at least a 128Gb SD card with fast write (and read) capabilities, I recommend the SanDisk Extreme PRO 128GB UHS-I/U3 SDXC (SDSDXPA-128G-G46) at a minimum with this camera based on speed and capacity vs cost. Day shooting is excellent as well, colors are vivid, zoom and focus is fairly quick. MIC is adequate though not excellent; I recommend adding an external MIC with appropriate windscreen for the best audio pickup. Battery life with the one that comes with it is a little weak, adding an Panasonic VW-VBT380 is really a must if your filming outside or away from a power source. I do a lot of inside filming and have the camera plugged in a lot so battery life hasn't been a main concern for me. If you don't get a VW-VBT380 then at least pick up the Panasonic bag, VW-VBT180 battery and charger bundle, that way you can charge a battery while using the other one. Otherwise you have the battery that came with the camcorder which can only be charged on the camera while it's plugged i

Love that I can dim the light and that it comes with different screen for color temp.

This is a very nice headlamp, without two levels of white light, a red light and a flashing red light.  Having the battery pack on the back makes it much easier to balance and the straps are adjustable over a wide range.

Great size, love the built in light (it has flashing mode for some reason, just if you need to give someone a seizure on a film set?) I have always wanted this Porta Brace bag but kept talking myself out of it. I finally pulled the trigger on buying one and I'm glad I did. Sometimes I have a small lens in it if i am shooting an event with a smaller camera, but on a full set I kit it out with all the tools I'll need. for camera department. If you are on the fence about it, do it.

This flashing is amazing. The variable light settings to the strobe. No concerns on purchasing the light at all. I would love to give one to every person in my family. BUY IT YOU'LL LOVE IT!!!!

Very useful product because it is not like the regular flash. It has several functions that allow you to change such like: dimmer, lighter and even flashing. The flash level is used still not has a very strong light like regular flash. The image looks more nature light and hard to tell that is use flash or not.

With the press of a button-focus, zoom (variable), and flashing light showing camera is filming. It is so easy, light weight, hook up in seconds. This is a must have item. At the cost is inexpensive compared to the older version of this kind of equipment. Good investment and will make you smile.

Works as advertised! It's responsive and easy to use. My only minor complaint is the flashing blue light which can be a little annoying in a dark venue But, I realize there has to be some way to know that it's on

Very good device but hardly fast speed and external light keep flashing green. But over all everything seem fine
