"Sets a new level of usability and reader friendliness that makes other camera guides seem old fashioned. Written by DP Robert M. Goodman, the guide's concise explanations and clear four-color illustrations take the user through step-by-step setups of each camera function. An included CD shows how each of 20 different camera setups will actually look." - Milimeter Magazine
GOODMAN'S
GUIDE
PANASONIC
AJ-SDX900

Panasonic has announced the availability of Goodman's Guide to the Panasonic SDX900, written by noted filmmaker and journalist Robert M. Goodman. The Guide, published by AMGMedia Publishers (Mahwah, NJ), is based on real-world location work and provides the reader a thorough look at the options available to operators of the AJ-SDX900 DVCPRO CinemaTM camcorder, which since its debut last year has rapidly become one of the industry's most popular and versatile acquisition tools.

"This is the manual I've always wanted," said author Goodman, "a manual written for the person who would be using the camera instead of what's typical in the world of professional production, a manual for the engineer."

"Robert Goodman has written an invaluable reference for SDX900 operators," said Jan Crittenden, Product Line Business Manager, DVCPRO50/DVCPRO, Panasonic Broadcast. "His Guide translates engineering terms into words that will help cinematographers clearly understand how powerful the camera's menus are."

The Goodman's Guide to the AJ-SDX900 is available from VidCom for $175.00 Cdn.
