I don't mind it, I don't think there's that much vig compared to what i've seen before. I can zoom in but when i do it almost doesn't look like a fisheye.

What do you mean take it out of wide screen?

He means, Go to like your menu/Options on the camera find the widescreen thing and get rid of it, Also if you have a camera with steady Aim take it off, It will make the rings at the end of the fisheye lens shake less

Also what camera do you have?

Like, shoot in 4:3 instead of 16:9 ? That made the vig go away but it didn't even look like a fisheye then. I have a Jvc Everio...

I don't like shooting in 4:3 and if the point to shoot with a fisheye was to not see vig they would make them without it. The point of filming with a fisheye is to get the whole person not just feet, and you were strongly recommended to ask questions to...

neg party!!!! okay well the reason why you see that horrid vig is because you are seeing the inside of the fisheye!!!! buy and VX2 Mk2 if you want a fisheye with no vig. whatever you're a noob at this.

Wow, i wish i was as cool as you, giving neg to someone because they don't want to shoot in 4:3. I know why theres vig im not a douche. I wouldn't even want a VX, i don't like them. I would save up money and just get a DVX. The only reason i skateboard is to pass time in the summer to get back to snowboardig. Thank for the neg and letting me know how bad i suck! woo your too cool man. I should just give you plus rep for pointing out how much of a douchebag i am! :icon_bs:

No you don't know why the vig is there. Okay sure get a DVX100b, it don't matter, you won't know what the heck to do but okay. Shoot I won't even know what the heck to do. I'll stick to VX1 Mk1, little vig but it looks beautiful and wonder wideness. DVX with a Mk2...ew horrible vig. trust me. I know my stuff & trust me I dare you to go to to skateperception and say you shoot 16:9 fisheye you'll be bagged so bad there. Just shoot 4:3 fisheye, and 4:3 ll

W/e, when i said that it doesnt look like a fisheye in 4:3 it was because my friend had the damn camera zoomed in. That was why i said i was going to cnotinue to shoot in 16:9. And when i said i knew why the vig was there i was talking about when you said its the inside of the fisheye.
