    FS7: Severe Banding in S&Q mode 180FPS

    Ok, so it actually does seem to be the codec- when I pull the exposure down 2 stops with fast color corrector (to compensate the exposure on this shot which was higher than the others).... I get major banding. Again, the sky was not clipped, its there, just in the "highlights". Is this just a...

    FS7: Severe Banding in S&Q mode 180FPS

    Guys, Maybe this is an issue that has been discussed, if so point me in the right direction. Over last weekend I shot for a bit in Henderson Beach, FL. CINE EI, 1080FPS While the footage was in flat preview, I could not see any banding, but as soon as I dropped the Impulz Slog3 FujiColor...

    FS7: Exposure & CINE-EI with MLUTS turned off

    I've been avoiding writing this post, because I wanted to make sure it was well informed. But I still have a few questions on CINE-EI mode after a ton of googling/xdcam/dvxuser scouring. I plan to shoot CINE-EI with the MLUTS turned off most of the time, giving waveform access. Personally, I do...

    Haze on A7S sensor- does yours have it?

    Hey guys, I'm hoping someone can shed some light on my concern with my A7S sensor. I've never noticed it, but the other day in a certain light/angle I could see something that looked like "haze" on my sensor. Well, I ordered a sensor cleaning kit and cleaning it well according to instructions...

    A7S + Letus AnamorphX

    Guys, I've been toying around with buying a Letus Anamorphx or Anamorphot, and found out the LensRental.com rents the Letus for a pretty decent rate. (143 for 4 of days) - anyway, in order to test it, I came up with a little concept short, which I'm currently editing (shot over the last...

    A7S FF or APS-C mode for 60P?

    Hey guys, While I'd prefer to maximize the FF potential of the A7S I have two reasons to consider APS-C mode beyond the Rolling Shutter (which is not a large factor for me). One is that my favorite piece of glass is the Sigma 18-35 1.8 and the other is that it seems that 60P shoots with better...

    If your A7S has a stuck/dead pixel or two/three

    Hey Guys, As I was applying Kholi's plcture profile (which is amazing), I discovered a dead pixel in the lower right quarter of my sensor. I reset the camera, cleaned the sensor, took out the battery, let it sit for a while, rinse, repeat a couple of times and it would not go away. Bummer, I...
