A:With the XL1S, you can use the slow shutter without Canon lenses. Also, the XL1S chip is more sensitive to light – an advantage when using the Mini35Digital image converter.

Q:Do I need any additional editing equipment?

A:No. The Mini35 does not affect the format of the camera. The images are still being recorded in the 1/3” MiniDV format for use in your current post chain.

Q:How much light is lost?

A:-In general, 1 Stop.

Q:Where can I get more information on the Mini35 or connect with other users of the adapter?

A:General information is available from www.pstechnik.de. Questions can be forwarded to info@pstechnik.de. DVInfo.net (www.dvinfo.net) hosts a P+S Technik forum (http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/forumdisplay.php ?s=&forumid=58) where many users post questions, insight into, and experiences with the device. Mizell Wilson of ZGC, Inc. is the offical monitor of this forum and is happy to answer any questions that the community cannot.

Q:I want to include a credit for P+S and the Mini35 in my production; do you have a preferred format of your logo or artwork available?

A:We appreciate this very much. Logos and artwork are available for download at www.pstechnik.de.
