Hi all, I'm experimenting with using SLOG3 to record in. Using a Rec709 lot to monitor I thought I had set the exposure correctly in camera (at least for the face). However, looking at the footage in the edit, it's really noisy. I know log can be quite noisy, but this seems a bit excessively so...

Hi all, I'm trying to figure out where I'm going wrong in white balancing the FX9. When in the studio I attempted to white balance off of a grey card by zooming into the card in the spot where the presenter's face normally is and clicking on the "wb set" button. This produced a kind of...

Hi all, I film an online news show. Host talking directly to camera. Behind and to the right is a large screen built into the itself (Rachel Maddow style), usually displaying an image or video of whatever the host is talking about. A lot of the time there are faces on the screen. I've noticed...

I'm currently using a couple of FX9's - switching between run and gun work and using them to film in-studio for an independent news show (online). At the moment i'm using the S-cinetone profile with a bit of quick tweaking in post production to get the news studio look. However, I'd much prefer...

Hi all, Are there any good online masterclasses for the FX9? I've come from the C500 II world to the FX9 - love the camera and would like to go into much more depth about all the settings and practical tips when shooting. I've looked at Doug Jensen's FX6 masterclass - looks fantastic. But as...

Hi all, I just shot a pilot for an online news show I'm producing/directing/appearing in. Current set up is I'm sat at a desk, in front of a backlit set which also has a screen embedded into it. I don't have a truss to hang lights from as you would normally see on a news set. I'm having to make...

I'm currently creating a new online news show - and working with a set designer on the potential look of the show. A lot of example shows I like the look of appear to use a TV wall in the background as part of their set design. The screens usually have images on them that are part of the set...

Hi all, Has anybody experienced seeing banding/moiré on clothing using the C200? I'm editing some footage, and noticed it on the sweatshirt. Shot in Raw, simple CST applied in resolve. Here are a couple of screengrabs taken a few frames apart.

Hi all, I've purchased a used C200 - and all seems really good with the camera. The only weird thing i've noticed is that it makes this slight clicking noise whenever I turn it on. Is this normal? I'm going to get the camera serviced by Canon anyway, so I'll have them check that out. But just...

Hi all I'm looking to buy a C200. I'm based in London, UK - so ideally somebody located nearby. But happy to pay for shipping for international sellers. Other extra's i'm looking to purchase for the camera are: Quick release baseplate (for VCT-14), Solidpod to record external raw, powering...

101 hours runtime. Only been used by me in a home studio environment, so in excellent condition. (Serial no: 58301210021) Included: 1x Canon EOS C500 Mark II (plus all the usual accessories that come with the camera by default, minus the box.) Plus: (x2) SanDisk 512GB CF ExpressExtreme Pro...

Hi there, Sorry if this question has an obvious answer - but is the C500 II capable of recording prores raw externally? The reason I ask is that the codec handles slightly better when editing. I'm thinking something from the Atomos line would be the way to go - but I've zero experience in...

Hi guys, I'm thinking of downgrading the camera. Love the C500 ii but I feel maybe its a bit overkill for what i'm doing. I've never sold something like this before and wondered if there were certain go-to places to sell something like this privately? I enquired at the company I originally...

Hi guys, What is the best practise when it comes to manually white balancing on the C500 ii? I have a color checker/gray card - I have the shot set-up, lights all on, interviewee in position. From what I understand, you should white balance in the conditions you are shooting in. Therefore I...
