Description:
This DVD was created for anyone who isn't satisfied with just picking up an Z1U or FX1 camcorder and shooting in fully-automatic mode. It is a complete camcorder instructional video and an in-depth guide to advanced shooting techniques all in one package.

This video goes well beyond the owner's manual in every way - plus it's much easier to understand -- two very important things to consider when tackling a production tool as complex as this.

If you want to learn how to get professional results with the Sony HVR-Z1U or HDR-FX1 high definition camcorders - you need this DVD. It's packed with 100 minutes of tutorials, examples, and detailed instructions to help beginners and advanced videographers of all skill levels quickly master these amazing camcorders.

Shot entirely with Sony HDV cameras, this DVD teaches important aspects of Z1/FX1 setup and advanced techniques in clear-cut, step-by-step instructions. It takes you deep inside the camera with advice and information that will save you hours of time figuring out this camera for yourself. You'll learn to easily navigate your way through (and understand) the dozens of menus and and inter-related customizable settings.

Whether you're an experienced videographer or a beginner, this DVD will have you shooting like a pro in no time at all.

Rating : - Amazingly Comprehensive Training DVD
I found this DVD to be extremely comprehensive in helping me learn about the HVR-Z1U and HDR-FX1. I wouldn't have learned as much about my Z1U if I hadn't bought this DVD. I have found no other training DVD that is this helpful. If your going to spend the money on the camera, the money for this DVD is well worth it. I learned a lot more about my camera then I ever would have.

These guys know how to make a training DVD.
I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in learning all they can about these cameras.
The more you know, the more you can do.
