Thanks, Doug. Appreciate it.

Hi Doug--I double checked your recommended settings, and thanks again for the tutorial.
On a stage with (no surprise) stage lighting, my footage was blown out and I could not get the exposure...

I don't usually purchase instructional videos, but after my eyes glazed over reading the Sony manual, I decided, hey, it's worth the money if it will save me both time and annoyance.
It's an...

@balazar for the GX85 there's no gamma setting--is it 16-255 or 0-255?

Despite what you may read online, the 680 is a fully functional mixer in the analog domain as well as digital. In the I/O menu you may select "direct", in which each analog channel is routed to the...

For all you G7 users, on my three cameras the histogram is not accurate unless live preview is turned on--it seems to just read the screen, which of course is always adjusted even if the image will...

Thanks, I was confused by that as it is listed as -5 in some of the earlier posts but I figured 0 was right since considering the alternative. I'm very pleased with the image but I did need to rotate...

Can someone clarify on the G7/GH4 whether the contrast in the cam should be 0 or -5? I'm seeing conflicting info. Tx.

Re GX85
This cam has no log, but it does have the grey curve interface--my question is whether you can simulate the log curve manually using the grey point and/or contrast/sat settings.

Thanks for the info. I was suprised when I plugged it in that nothing happened.

Anyone know how to power this cam with the USB port? No luck of any kind with USB powerbanks or adapters.

Just a UFO, no biggie.

Yup--a 22 percent jump in mtf in the center, which goes up even more when you stop the lens down a bit. Looks tasty. Anyone who own one of these things, please start keeping track of the best combos,...

I was worried about this as well, but after I saw Roger Cicala's MTF test with the Canon 50/1.2, which show a whopping 22 percent increas in mtf, and even more stopped down into reality (still wide,...

You can compare images here: 1600 ISO vs 3200 ISO

I'm not big on the math, but these...

You state on your blog
"Let us not forget that smaller chips cameras (S35/APSc) have deeper focus (for equivalent fstop viewing distance and angle of view) So, to get that ‘fullframe’ look you...

I predict that this will be a pretty big deal, that the adapters will produce very high quality images, and that a class of superprimes will be created, like affordable 35/1.0 lenses made from widely...

You would not be able to tell the difference between the GH2 and GH3 if they weren't labeled, unless you were looking for moiree. You can great a great deal on a GH2 right now and have a great camera.

There no sound difference XLR versus other connectors. Even using phono plugs, you can wire them with quad wire if you need to. If battery life is key, get a Fostex FR2LE. Excellent pres, AD...

Lilliput with false color and zoom options, cheap, or Ruige, $$$ or Marshall. All good. GH2 can be touchy about cables.

Some hacks affect the audio sync. Some don't.

Use a hyperfocal lens to get a large area in focus. The Panasonic 14mm is excellent for this. There are many hyperfocal calculators online, but basically, you will notice a huge difference with a...

The BMCC will probably be a small but visible bump in IQ, with more room for post. Plus raw, if you need it, wow. Plus serious pan and scan. But there's so many factors to consider. The aliasing on...

I like the Tascam Dr 680, it has preamps, HP jack, digital mixer, everything you need. Standalone pres will not give you better sound quality unless you spend some very serious cash, and even then it...

Yes, it is about 16 percent less surface area. You have 199.28 surface area compared to 167.81, estimated, of course. But since the sensors are of a different design, it is hard to compare them. For...
