Re: Canon C100 camera video quality not good? Help why?

I shot a corporate presentation last week with six presenters that were sitting in tall bar-stool type chairs in front a large back-lit window. The interior lighting was not too bright so I had to add a fair bit of gain to bring up detail in the speaker's faces. I was shooting with a Sony X70 camera, which has a pretty good zoom lens on it, but I had a similar flare problem to your C100 shot.

To fix things in editing I used a highlight mask to bring down the intensity of of the strong backlighting and then adjusted the gamma of the un-masked image to hide the lens flare. The finished image was not as good as shooting with proper lighting ( no time and no budget for proper lighting ), but it was certainly acceptable to the client.
