Recommended settings for HF S100

This is my recommended settings for CANON Legria HF S100
Manual setting (Tv or Av)
Keep f between 1.8 – 5.4 (higher values makes picture blurrier),
exposure between 25 (30 USA) – 500 (higher values makes visible rolling shutter problem)
f=4 and exposure 1/50 (1/60) is the best sollution :-)
Colors: normal, Sharpness: low, Contrast: low (maybe medium), Brightness: high (maybe medium)
Limit gain control (AGC Limit) to 6dB
(bigger values makes picture noisy 6dB is OK in dark scenes)
x.v.Color ON (for better gamut)
1920x1080x25p or 30p (USA) (1440×1080 isn’t recommended due to 4:2:0 color-subsampling)
Bitrate 24Mbit/s (AVCHD – not high-enough for water etc :-) but still 2x better than HDV at 25Mbit/s)
Switch Onscreen (Grid, Zebra, Audio Level)
Be sure to import video as progressive (not interlaced),
in Sony Vegas you can find it in every imported clip properties
(field order -> progressive scan) don’t forget it!!!
set output project to progressive and exact framerate 25fps (30 USA)!!!
video pixel format 32bit (full-range)
Strictly use lossless compression such as HUFFYUV, Lagarith or MSU.
For final export I recomended H264 2pass.
