Elite Video 2005. Includes TWO Tutorial DVDs, total 2 hours long. Play worldwide in any DVD player (recommended) or CD-ROM drive (may require DVD decoder).
At last Tutorial DVDs that teach you everything about the FX-1 and Z1U Sony camcorders.
These are both great HD camcorders, the only problem is - there are so many features and functions that you can spend months learning how to master all of its power- if you can decode the users manual.
These 2 amazing DVD videos take you step by step through all the controls, menu settings and operations of these camera. (and as you may have found out - there are a lot and the menus are deep) - as well as reveal the uses for each setting.
Note: There are some differences in these cameras, and any differences are explained and demonstrated so the videos work for both models.
For example the DVDs reveal the three reasons you might want to adjust the audio line trim and how to do it and what it is for.
Or you learn the 5 ways to make your video look like film (beyond the cineframe mode) & we show examples. Also did you know you can program these cameras to do a rack focus by themselves? You can also preset other types of preplanned moves involving iris & white balance, we show you how to do this too. Everything from Time code functions to picture profile setting is covered.
Hosted by Video veterans Bob Nagy, Zak Smith and John Cooksey. There are over 200 tips tricks & items that we cover in both videos, (2 hours total) (the videos move fast but you can always rewind) . Plus you will understand the different HD modes and their uses. We also cover all the personal menu settings , picture profiles & main menu settings.
In addition you get a bonus section HD film school on the street where you learn how to set up 16 x 9 shots and frame them for maximum effect.
Most of the information is the same for both cameras but there are a few sections dedicated to the specifics of each camera (for example- audio menu settings)

1.0 out of 5 stars
A simple overview of a camera's features!,
By Ned Middleton (British professional underwater photo-journalist & author) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Sony HDR FX1 / HVR Z1U Made Easy Tutorial DVDs (Volume 1 & 2 covering the FX-1 & Z1) (CD-ROM)
My own conversion from film to digital photography has been a very steep leaning curve and not all the products purchased proved to be useful. In addition to the photographs which support my books and articles, I also provide the detail which enables a world-class artist to produce an accurate portrait of each of the major shipwrecks I visit. In the case of one book, that process took a number of years to complete. The artist has now suggested I purchase a high quality video camera which, will allow me to film a shipwreck's exterior features in far fewer dives whilst still providing him with all the necessary detail.
Consequently I purchased a Sony FX1 HDV video camera and an equally expensive custom-made underwater housing. The only problem being, I had never previously used a video camera of any description. Unlike courses run by Nikon UK to familiarise customers with their new Nikon camera, similar training events run by Sony were prohibitively expensive and appeared to cater for those who already understood the equipment and were simply converting from one camera to another. So I purchased this video - and for no other reason than it was the only one available. Once again, however, this is a product which caters for those who already understand what these cameras are all about. Three, clearly knowledgeable, men take it in turns to introduce various features and get straight into iris, gain, filter and whatever other qualities they wish to discuss right at the beginning of DVD One. Their technique is best described as an overview of whatever features exist and, quite frankly, is pitched at those who are already understand such features. In short, not much use for the rank beginner. Now before anyone criticises me for having purchased a "Top of the Range" camera without the requisite knowledge to use the item, there are various books and DVDs which allow the rank beginner to start ordinary "still" photography from scratch without having to work their way up to the best cameras available. Having sat through the first DVD (there being 2 in this package) and having learned very little, I then sat through DVD 2. This commenced with a couple of basic lessons on how to charge and fit the battery and how to insert the film cartridge. But still no basic operating instructions before we were back into some very technical areas where yet again the features were mentioned but "NOT" explained. Even when a detached microphone was recommended as being far better than the camera's own in-built sound recording system, that additional item was not shown attached to the camera and there was no practical demonstration whatsoever. Altogether, this DVD has left me feeling very confused. On the one side of the coin, I earnestly believe those people who are able to comprehend this DVD will have no use for it because they will already understand the overview of camera features portrayed here. On the other side of that same coin, those of us who are in need of instruction will gain little or nothing from watching this DVD - even if we were to watch it through over 100 times!, simply because the instruction is not there.
