Canon 70-200 f2.8/XHA1/SGPRO

Nice video, small sharpness.
We cant compare camera preset settings with extra lenses and without, so the preset for the SGPRO combi differ always from the standard lens colorimetry by diffraction and surface treatment. The lens itself colors the image...
 
Hi phil

compared to the other footage you posted this one seems a bit more noisy. Do you think it depends on the lens? did you use gain, had the sharpness dialed higher?
Still I really like the look you achieved, my compliments

I agree,I had the gain on +2db I think and I normally shoot at -3db. I think I may have had it on a preset by accident though.......


Thanks for the comments everyone,very encouraging:)
 
Sharpness, how do you set it? I read in some other post that, no matter wich preset you are using (even no preset), with DOF adapters it should be set down to -9..
 
I don't have one with me at the moment but I'm pretty sure you can set sharpness from -9 to +9.
I think I read somewhere that sharpness is something "added", always. So when if you want your footage untouched, close to what you have when you shoot RAW with your DSLR, you shoud set the sharpness to - 9. -9 is the level where no sharpness is artificially added to your footage.
I'll check and post you a link..
 
Ok i did a quick search but I couldn't find the article I was thinking about. But read this:
http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?t=96965&highlight=sharpness
and what Barry Green answers in the post:


"Keep in mind that "sharpness" isn't actually sharpness, it's edge enhancement. And you can't effectively remove edge enhancement in post. If you want the cleanest, flattest image possible, and intend to do all tweaking to the image in post, then you'd want to turn the sharpness all the way down.

Note, "0" doesn't mean "no" sharpening, it means it's halfway between minimal and maximum. Minimal = off, and from thereon it's adding more and more sharpening; "0" just means it's at the halfway point on the scale."

Hope it helps
