No 6 here FS5 and FX9 though I think the advice would be the same. Thanks

Well the equipment available to the producers is an FS5 and an FX9 . So that was the original idea. Then we thought about trying to sell them on a 2 shot camera and an A7siii is available . I don't know that they'll pay for it . It dawned on me though that if we bring the A7 on then it...

I have a possible job coming up just shooting a conversation between 2 people with 2 cameras shooting iso's of each person but the available cameras are only an FX9 and FS5 . Will these cut OK if we shoot UHD Slog 3 on both ? Might have an A7siii as a third camera doing a 2 shot . Of course I...

Just a heads up the 28-135 is a lousy lens no matter what you hear on this forum. I've looked at lots of them . Its not very sharp. The 18-110 will be sharper even in S35 over the 28-135 at 6K also better focusing mechanism. Only advantage to the 28-135 is if you need the reach and will be...

No response to any of my questions. Quite disappointing . I do wonder though if I would have gotten better service if I had joined "Sony Pro". Its not very expensive and if that would have made a difference would have been well worth it . Such a bring down after the fabulous treatment i used to...

Well I got my camera back yesterday and its working after about $550 and almost a month. I tried to ask a number of questions as to whether replacing the KSW-72 MOUNT Board was typically a part of replacing the internal battery and whether the battery eventually would stop holding a charge at...

Chris I gotta admit it sounds a little fishy to me as well, especially when I know 2 other people who's batteries also just died. I would be a little surprised if Sony repair would have any incentive to pull a fast one like that - but it will be interesting when my friends send their cameras in...

Well I found out it is the board that controls the resetting of time, date & other settings etc- i.e connected to the internal battery. Apparently they tried replacing the $14 lithium battery and it didn't work so they need to switch the board. I have 2 friends who's internal batteries just...

Doug , can you post a pic of how you have the Gratical and EVF screen set up to operate both at the same time- (gratical for viewing and EVF for focus) ? Not having peaking and zebra at the same time could be a deal breaker for me. Stupid design.

I had a a camera take a nose dive from a loose VCT plate also once. Miraculously the camera seemed to survive fine and it was both the client company's camera and their VCT plate which upon inspection was not locking properly . Poorly maintained client company gear so I was exonerated. Scary...

Does anyone know what the KSW-72 MOUNT Board does on the Sony FX9 ? My internal battery died and I've been having to reset the time & date etc every few days for a few months now, but otherwise the camera seems to work fine. Finally sent it down to LA for shipping cost of over $100 and just...

Had bizzarre experience this morning with my FX9. I hadn't used it in over a month and when it turned on it asked for all the basic set up info: time, date, etc. This was scary but I filled it out and Then it asked for me to do an APR and it got stuck running the APR . I had to pull the battery...

I’m thinking of using SDR mode with Slog3 sometimes on the FX9 so I can access the detail settings . I’ve noticed the 28-135 lens just isn’t as sharp as I’d like and want to add a touch of sharpness ( frequency maybe) . But I’m wondering 1- What color space will I be in ? 2- Should I turn Matrix...

Its not available on the FX9 . I hadn't even checked befor- thanks for the heads up. That's too bad as it screws with my intended strategy for the 28-135. i hadn't gotten to testing yet , but that means I'd have to shoot Slog in SDR mode. Not impossible but something I need to get used to . My...

I use it often as well , as the features are fabulous. I just wish it was sharper and not so commonly misadjusted. I don't think many corporate clients actually look at footage on a large monitor so many faults remain hidden.That's great for us though. Nevertheless I am amazed at how few people...

I'm always surprised at how many people gush about how they love their 28-135 f4 Sony lens. Granted it has great features at a superb price, and I use it often for those features, but honestly it is a POS lens. I've looked carefully at many of them . At least half of them are misadjusted...

I've noticed that when importing Slog3 footage shot in a Sony Fx9 and applying an Fs709 LUT it looks overly saturated on my Mac screen and much less saturated that it does on my Flanders monitor connected by an UltraStudio mini monitor. I think my settings are correct , and though I can't...

Its a long shot to post about this here, but I've gotten nowhere so far ,so why not . The "A" SDI input on my Odyssey 7Q+ has broken and needs to be replaced . The pieces that grab the center connector just broke yesterday . But Convergence support seems to be no longer . I've called and...

I'm not happy with the sharpness of my 28-135 F4 lens particularly at 135mm. I've compared it to other 28-135's and its not worse than others (maybe a touch softer at 135 but better at other settings) , I just don't think its a very good lens ( not as sharp as as the 18-110 for example.) So I've...

Does anyone know how to contact Sony for FX9 replacement parts? I seem to have misplaced (lost???) my grip arm and don't see anything on the web. I know- How the hell do you lose that? Well I wish I could tell you , but so far its missing.
