When attempting to exit S&Q my FX9 has been locking-up. Can't turn camera off using power switch. I have to disconnect the battery to kill the power and make the camera operable again. Anyone else experiencing this on an FX9? It has happened with different media cards in the camera, so it isn't...

Ever since the makeover of the site I receive the following when trying to pull up the latest posts: ”Unable to contact server. Please try again. If this error continues please contact the site administrator. Error information: " 0 error " I am as well now receiving warnings about a...

What a frustrating, maddening experience it was. Abandoned AF altogether after 2 days of giving it a go. It boned the shot at least 50% of the time. I found it about as useful as auto-exposure, working satisfactorily in only about 5% of situations. Not dependable enough for professional...

Whoever can tell me what “EC” means in the Sony FX9 display wins a prize It is displayed above the video signal monitor, to the left of “LUT s709”.

FX9 overtakes C300 Mark ii in Crews Control survey, giving Sony all three spots on the podium. The following figures are for “Corporate” production. I don’t think it includes production done in-house for corporations, because Crews Control provides freelance crews and the figures are based...

Well, it’s happened. The window has started to close. It was a good run. I had my first request for the FX9 along with the directive that the Fs7 is NO LONGER acceptable. It was Netflix, contacting me for EPK / BTS on a film. So I guess I am going to have to pull the trigger on the FX9. The...

Okay gang. I may have just started a new thing here on DVX. Examination of video and discussion of the techniques employed in the cinematography. What tricks / techniques are going on in this music video?: I am particularly curious about the vibrating image effect. You think it is all done...

What are you experiencing with being paid for days where you are required by a client to get COVID testing? I estimate that roughly only 20% of the time does the client compensate you for the time and for your not being able to take another job that day. The times I was compensated it was $250...

So what's going on here with these shots? By that I mean, there's nothing new here but for some reason these shots are eye-catching. I don't recall any of my own Sony A7 work having this crazily shallow dof. Or, is it less the super-shallow dof that is catching my eye and more the frame rate...

Anyone recall what the "F" means that I am seeing in front of my Fs7's resolution indicator? It reads "F1920X1080". I switched to interlace, then back to progressive, and the "F" went away. But I'd still like to know what it was indicating. Couldn't find it in the Fs7 manual.

I'm aware that the lenses were not anything to write home about, but it's weird how they just fell off the map. I've yet to see a Nisi / Kinefinity prime in the flesh. Have any of you seen them in the flesh, other than at a trade show? I know that the Nisi/ Kinefinity primes were the Bokelux...

I’m curious, who among you does not do any post? I only shoot and light. Never any editing, color correction, or other post work. I know of around 8 other Owner / Ops in my market and it is the same for all but one, maybe two of them. The discussions here about LUTs and grading and Premiere...

mesmerizing!

Anyone know how the shots in this amazing video where the camera "stutters", for lack of a better descriptor, are achieved? Is it done in post? It looks almost like the result of when a camera stabilizer is spazzing out. There is the stuttering effect and also at times a double-image effect...

Anyone know what the part is in the image below? It fell out of my Sony fs7 viewfinder while I was shooting. It goes inside the viewfinder tube, it is flexible, and has residue on the back where it was affixed in the VF. It appears to be some sort of ND film, but I don't know why the VF would...

Following on the heels of other lens makers, Sigma announced a "vintage-look" line of cine lenses that Sigma claims are not just the existing Sigma Cine lenses with lens coating removed but a distinct from-the-ground-up design, a claim I am skeptical of. Note that the "Classics" are slower than...

With an Otus ZE adapted to the Sony fs7 with a metabones EF to e-mount adapter will the f-stop of the lens be displayed in the viewfinder?

Meet the Magellan 65mm camera. Among the many bizarre things about this camera is a marketing photo where the operator is bizarrely holding the front of the camera body with his left hand instead of having the left hand on the lens. Awkward looking, that. Okay, so you say you are liking...

Initial reactions to these newly announced budget primes? My first thought upon learning that the Nisi lenses are named "F3" was that it is not a good choice of name because it suggests that the lenses are f/3 at their widest aperture when they are in fact T2.1. But "Nisi" is a hella' better...

A Kickstarter campaign for an anamorphic attachment for smartphone cameras had a goal of $50,000. Not only did it meet that goal of $50k but to date has raised $1,107,315. Apparently a lot of people are wanting an anamorphic adapter for their phone cameras. To the tune of 20x what the creators...
