Canon Log is designed and optimised for 8bit, it's not as flat as other Log profiles such as Sony S-Log or Alexa Log-C.

did you record in Prores 422HQ in Ninja2?

Cineform is the best if you want to stick to internal files

Redrock has one

Got an official word yesterday from Canon Asia Pacific HQ, the existing 25p firmware (Version 1.1.9) has serious defect, their word is "image tearing can sometimes occur during recording" and they...

Duclos already done multi-mount mod on EF Cine Zooms, I guess prime version will follow soon.

Use View Assist and expose to the right.

Canon EOS Utility has a tool for you to combine the split files into one file, very quick operation.

Canon USA has again delayed the 1D C 25p firmware to end-of-May 2013, have you contacted Canon about what's going on?

Hehe, I guess you don't have much experience shooting log in real film set. simply speaking VA lets you expose in a traditional way (50% midtone), yes you will probably get "clipped" high/low in the...

The histogram should be that way, otherwise how can you accurately judge exposure? when VA is on, you expose the midtone at 50%, it will also be shown in the histogram as 50%, and in the recorded...

Canon just changed their product advisories on 1D C (again), to end of May 2013....

I recommend Odyssey 7 if you don't have an external recorder at the moment. you'll need a HDMI to SDI converter though.

What's behind the sofa? I suggest use F4 to F5.6 to keep the actors in focus, make the background as far as possible to create a rich DOF (or the actors as close to the lens as possible)

no, the actual recording is fine, just the LCD that has a bit of lag.

I would say they are same, both cameras have cast magnesium alloy body and the shoe mount is a part of the body.

for 5D3 there is a better option:
...

Use sharp lens with good micro contrast, like Zeiss ZE/ZF range. Because in 4K mode the camera does 1:1 sampling, so the quality of the image relies heavily on the quality of the lens, especially for...

Adobe Media Encoder for automatic batch transcode. You can even transcode it to 12bit RGB444 (1.6Gbps after), which does a great job in smoothing the chroma sampling (I use it for 1080p50/60 source)

Two options for you:

1. Use an external recoder like Ninja 2, set it to record ProRes or DNxHD proxy files. edit them in PP or FCP then conform the 4K original, then do the grading and effects.
...

no, camera LCD is perfect, the lag is only present on Ninja 2. (not sure about other recorders)

Yes there is a lag, it's also present in 1D C, the lag is about half a second

It totally depends on the ambient temp, if it's 40 degree above with direct sunlight, I'd say there is no point recording in 4k unless you have a active cooling system such as a fan.

But people from Canon has said on Twitter that the service upgrade has already begun? You just need to call and arrange to send the camera back.

Also I can confirm that the update is already...
