Q: Does the Mini35Digital require a power
supply?
A: Yes. You will need a battery to run the motor
of the Mini35Digital. Each camera
connecting kit includes a battery mount
specific to the brand of camera so no new
batteries or chargers are needed, simply the
batteries you already have for your system;
one for the camera and one for the
Mini35Digital.
Q: What will the image look like as compared to
a digital video look?
A: A textbook-perfect digital video image is
uniformly sharp, background and
foreground. The professional 35mm motion
picture film “look” is sharp but less starkly
so. Capturing the image in 35mm format
with a 35mm lens also allows you to
capture gradations of focus (depth of field)
like the human eye sees images on a image
plane.
Tip For the best effect when composing a shot,
aim for out-of-focus objects in both the
foreground and background.
Q: How can I avoid having the grain of the
projection glass showing up on the tape?
A: Don’t stop the taking lens down above 4 -
5.6. Regulate the light as much as possible
with the relay lens only (XL1(s) version).
Use neutral density filters when there is too
much light.
Q: Are there differences between the Canon
XL1 and XL1S when using the Mini35Digital
image converter?
