Panasonic sdx 900 ISO. urgent help need!!!!

[rdegracia]

Could someone tell us what is the ISO of the Panasonic dsx 900?? We did the ISO rating yesterday using WFM and following all the instructions and it resulted to be 1600 with the factoy defaults and 24P, testing the three methods advised on the manual!!! Not kidding. What we could have done wrong??? We were supervised by the teacher….
Is it possible???? 1600 ISO at 24P 0db gain???

I apologize for the delay in responding, and thank you for posting. ISO ratings on video cameras depend a lot on how you measure them: the gamma curve, the gain setting and what IRE level you place middle gray at all change the result. A result that seems very high often means the test placed middle gray lower than the manufacturer's method.

Check the manufacturer's specification and use a gray card at a standard exposure. Our Cameras, Lenses & Gear forum is a good place to compare tests.
