Hi all, I shoot broadcast and corporate. FS5 looks video. (i couldn't give a f**k) re: people saying otherwise. Sony need to get their colour science right or all you fools are playing long ball in post.

Hi Guys, I used to own a C300 and use the 17-55mm f2.8 lens as my general run n gun. I then moved to the Sony FS5 with a Speed Booster on a Canon 24-105mm f4 with makes it a 17 - 75mm f2.8. I love this combo as its a perfect focal length for general doc work. And the FS5 has Centre Scan so i...

Im in PAL land and usually shoot 25P. The client has hashed for 24P and for the life of me ive gone through every menu and can't seem where to engage this. Is it part of a paid upgrade? HELP PLEASE

Im interested in hearing from anyone who has or used the Sony 50mm f1.8 OSS or even the 35mm. Im curious about its Image stabilisation and its IQ as this lens if good would be a nice work around for use without a shoulder rig to steady shots if the IQ is good enough? I know you 'get what you...

I am looking to subtract a subtle amount of Magenta from the FS5 Matrix. NB this is not for Slog2 or 3 As 'The Color Phase' adjusts the color hue i.e -7 (Greenish) to +7 (Reddish) Because this effects all colors, it is difficult to make specific adjustments. i have a few picture profile...

I was on a shoot the other day - long hand held shooting and now my back is strained and can hardly move. The director wanted handheld (for the look) and there wasn't much moving around, but holding the camera in a couple of positions over a few hours without a break has locked my back up. (I'm...

Canon just announced a new compact servo lens 18-18 T4.4: This could be the Canon 24-105 with Speed Booster & Sony 28-135 f4 KILLER. It has the 'right' wide at 18mm a nice constant T4.4 for doco, run n gun etc, and with Sony's Optical Zoom it looks like a perfect match. But it weighs over 1kg...

I bought a Sony 18-105 f4 OSS today, its a very interesting lens - hard to focus but kind of nice. Gotta get my head around this lens. Feels almost tailored to the consumer video market, but i could see myself using it in a professional low budget production Compared to my Metabones Speed...

I have been using the C-Cup designed for the C100 on the FS5 and have found it superb compared to Sony's floppy one. Its really sturdy, you can push yr eye into it so it offers a third point of contact. I highly recommend everyone gets one...

Ive got the Metabones Speed Booster with a Canon 24-105 and am very happy with the image quality. I'm after a cheaper focal reducer for my B Cam & Ive searched far and wide on the web and haven't found any IQ comparisons between the Speed Booster and Kipon Baveyes focal reducer. Wondering if...

Hi Sony, I wish I could display the battery in minutes and not percent. 64%, 50%, 25% they all mean nothing to me. It would be great to know the actual time left on the battery. In next firmware update please :) :)

Thought I'd get this going. Im finding Slog2 with Colour Mode to Still very close to Canon C-log. I would probably use this over S-Log3 as its easier to grade. Doug Jensens PP is just lovely for hardly any post correction. I use Cine4 Color Mode: Pro Sat: +3 Detail: 0 Phase: +3 (and leave...

Hello, has anyone had success with a generic battery for the Sony FS5 that they could recommend?

Just a tip to fellow FS5 users, when shooting indoors or low light - disengage the variable ND filter as using will always have the lowest ND engaged. Disengage and set to 0db. Works a treat.

Could someone please shed some light: Re Cine Gamma Profiles: Why would you lower the Black Gamma in the low range? Essentially wouldn't you be losing dynamic range in the blacks? Kind pf like crushing them a bit? Wouldn't raising the Low Black Gamma by a few clicks give a flatter look and more...

Anyone use the Speed Booster XL 0.64x on their G4 with a 24-105 f4? Metabones states it gives an extra 1 1/3 stop of light, and was wondering if this equates to f2.4? Cheers :)

No new posts or new news on the FS5. Curious: was this camera a major letdown for buyers? Or are we all waiting on a Sony response? Sony : My GH4 4K 420 100mbps is insane.
