Sony HDR-FX1 with Century Optics 0.6x wide-angle lens

photos by John Beale, 5/5/2005
I recorded some images on May 5 2005 in Mountain View, CA using the HDR-FX1 on a tripod in 1080i mode, 1/60th, 0 dB, sharpness 8, cinema-gamma OFF, to check the Century Optics 0.6 wide-angle (originally made for the Panasonic DVX100).  I transferred HDV via firewire into Vegas 6.0a and exported stills as 1920x1080 PNG.  Photoshop adjusted black level to 17 for normal contrast on a PC monitor (otherwise video captures look washed out) and saved as JPEG. No other adjustment was done.
