    Is my exposure off? Noisy FX9 in SLOG3

    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...

    FX9 white balance - what am I getting wrong?

    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...

    FX9 face tracking - not very good?

    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...

    Paint menu FX9 - getting a perfect baked-in look

    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...

    FX9 masterclass

    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...

    News show - lighting the host nicely

    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...

    Background for news show (TV wall or no TV wall)

    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...

    C200: Clicking noise when starting up camera

    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...

    C500: C500 II: Recording ProRes Raw

    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...

    C500: Where to sell a C500 II privately? (UK based)

    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...

    C500: How to do proper white balance in camera (c500 II)

    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...

    Advice for newbie run and gun filming

    Hi all, I'm a relative newbie when it comes to camera operating. My background is TV producing so I've had to do some limited self shooting on red carpets and interviews for some of the "rougher round the edges" broadcasters such as MTV in the past. However, my comfort zone is with writing and...

    C500: C500ii: Fixing overexposed/blown out face

    Hi all, I shot a walk and talk segment yesterday outside. Bright, sunny day here in L.A. Thought I had the exposure nailed (using the camera's built-in false color readings) - but looking at it in the edit, the face is completely over exposed. As this was shot in Rec 709 XF-AVC and not log/raw...

    C500: C500 II: carry-on bags

    Hi all, Does anyone have any recommendations for good camera carry-on bags that will fit the C500 II? Have to fly out to the States soon, and the current bag I have is massive. Too big for carry-on.

    C500: C500 ii Another 'jittery' issues

    Hi all, A little while back I posted about a problem I encountered with jittery/choppy footage after exporting footage from Resolve. The solution seemed to be turning off frame re-ordering in the delivery settings. This time, however, I'm seeing the same issue straight out of the camera on the...
