    Sony A7iii recording to a Atomos (record bit rates etc)

    I'm not a techy type soo... Sony A7iii records 8 bit 4 2 0 internal but hdmi outputs 8 bit 4 2 2 so I'm assuming you get an image that might be a little bit better for post work using the atomos recorder. My question is... If I record the HDMI 8 bit 4 2 2 out, will I get any benefit recording...

    A7 iii picture settings and knee.

    I bought an A7 iii to use for shooting some web stuff to lighten up the kit. (vs shooting with 2 fs7's) I'm not a tecky, so I went to my friends google and youtube to get some ideas about setting up the camera to get the best images I can get out of it. I've noticed more than 2 or 3 videos...

    Is anyone using in cam audio with xlr mics/lavs? (ON A7iii)

    I'm certainly not knowledgeable on how good the preamps are on the sony a7iii but thought i'd give it a try in order to slim down kit to bare minimums. (the in cam mic doesn't seem that bad...but I need lavs) Ideally. I could find a 3.5 to 2ea XLR female connector but i'm curious what others...

    F3 and 7Q

    I haven't used the 7q for quite some time except as a monitor. (even then not so often) but recently I think I might be able to get my hands on an F3 with slog 444 mod. I'm wondering if this combo will work and will I need 2 sdi cables if it does work? I have the original 7Q ( NOT the 7q+)...

    FS7: Aputure VS-5 color???

    Got this a while ago and the default color looks nothing like the stock viewfinder on the fs7. Wasn't really a problem since I just use it as a "framing / focus" monitor, but recently I've become more annoyed with the wacky greenish / yellowish tint. Anyone else had this problem with the...

    FS100 and A6300 output to shogun inferno

    Just received a shogun inferno this afternoon. (it will be recording from a roland video mixer.) I know I won't get any benefit from hooking it to my fs7's but I also have an A6300 and 2 fs100s. I don't know off the top of my head what those 2 put out but does anyone know what I should expect...

    FS7: Noob question about card spanning clip

    Shooting 4 k with 2 128 cards. During a long take I wasn't paying attention and the recording filled up card 1 and continued on card 2. I usually just copy the XDroot folder on the card to my computer hard drive and then import into Premier CC. How do I copy the second card so that both the...

    FS7: Atomos shogun inferno questions

    I currently have 2 fs7's (NOT Mk2) and a CD 7q (not +) I bought the 7q when I had fs700 and it worked well with that camera but with the fs7 no real benefit other than a good monitor... I had a recent water pipe break above a Roland video mixer / newtek tricaster combo. It killed the...

    What wireless lav mic FREQUENCY

    Future proofing.... I currently have been using 3 sets of sennheisser ew 100 lav mic/receivers. (600Mhz range) Stiil work fine but about ready to get new equipment because of their age. (6-7 years?) But with the upcoming "repurposing" of that frequency range does anyone have any idea what...

    2 cards in the camera. one 64 gig, one 128. 128 is always in A slot. format before shooting and sometimes when I hit record it starts writing to B, Sometimes A...??? I just figured it would always start with A and then rollover to B if the card filled up. Anyway to make it always start...

    Quick question since I don't have access to my 7q for the next couple days. I have a roland vr 50 hd video switcher that I stream some long boring government meetings with. I had a newtec tricaster hooked up to it to record the stream for personal copy. (official Record, so to speak) The...

    FS7: LUTS for the beginner

    Just trying to get my head around using luts for a more artistic look and not sure on the proper (?) use. I typically shoot episodic TV for broadcast locally so my fs100s work great with the picture profile I've using. (good clean rec709 look I'm happy with) quick turnaround to the station...
