I don't usually run two cards in the camera, but yesterday I was, and I made sure it was set for Relay Record as I started on my day. As the card started to get full, I got a warning saying that it was about to switch cards, this went on for several takes. All good. Then I hit play (Edit: I hit...

Just finished up a new short film series completed during lockdown. Will be premiering it next Wednesday, and I'll have more about it later, but here's the teaser (view in 4k on Chrome). __________________ Pandemic Pictures is a wholly owned subsidiary of Barry Goyette Stills Motion & Design...

I called my friend Inga Swearingen last week and asked if she'd want to put together a Facebook live show. I've watched a lot of my musician friends broadcasting from their bedrooms over the last couple of weeks and thought it would be cool to do something in the "indie handheld single take...

Curious if anyone using V-lock or other non-canon batteries is able to get any kind of reading in the OSD as to battery life remaining. I received my EU-V2 a few days ago and have had a single 230wh battery on it for 3+ hours of runtime. The battery indicator still reads full, and the only...

If the design rumor is true...the C500II has 8 mounting points plus a few registration pin receivers (not sure if those match up with any standard connector, like Arri's).

Actually.... the last test he talks about equalizing the exposure, and displays this...

there's a handy chart in the manual. I'm not getting that kind of life out of my BPA-30s, but they are 4 years old. the BPA-60 has been around 2 hours, maybe longer when shooting XF-AVC, but I don't really pay that much attention. B

Actually, I will post this. Shot is a little blue as the sun was peaking in and out of clouds when I shot this. This is my c500 II+5 chart compared to the CVP C500II +5 chart. Both are XF-AVC. (we should also talk about how their fx9 chart starts really oversaturated, compared to the C500 chart...

Probably best to not judge color on your iPhone. In fact that entire chart is shifted magenta blue, (there are no green shadows). (this was done on purpose as thats the direction we're going with the color, and we want a "pink" skin tone in this piece, and I just wanted to see if it was there...

very much my experience, and ditto on the accessories. This is a classic "bad lighting" situation. Location scout last night for the next segment of Nellie's dance reel. Location is a run-down laundromat lit by 5 T12 fluorescents of varying ages and colors. (two warm white, a modern cool...

Ha...I brought it up. Let me say this. there are some really great things in CFP2. I love the sharpening, the color wheels seem more responsive and the curves produce a result that is more expected than FCP's curves. The vector control is simpler than apples tool. The highlight thing is big. I...

I didn't show it for that reason. We weren't discussing the C300II, but we were discussing a camera (the FS5) that has the identical sensor as the FS7, and talking about illusory streaking in another camera, as if somehow a crazy abundance of pattern and color noise in the FS5 was simply "no...

Actually I'm well acquainted with that footage, having produced the alternative grade of it that is posted in the comments of that site. So that footage is different than your case...all shot at higher ISO (something you'll remember I suggested as an option for you), and it's XFAVC, which means...

Ha...well if you keep pushing any image it will eventually fall apart...here's that image pushed another stop or two...actualy I'm a little surprised at how little it's breaking up given where it started...but there's a streak! (hard to see with DVXUser ProGamma applied). Still, it's totally...

Hi Airwolf, I eliminated the classic quote so I could respond to each part...(my answers in italic) I only pushed the image that far because after applying the stock canon LUT (which is supposed to be the fool proof way of grading Clog), I'm looking at the image and i'm going "what the hell is...

This is what I have, shot the morning after I received the camera. Chasing my cats into some dim light. Not sure the ISO. Was shot Xf-AVC. I caution anyone about suggesting that this is somehow proof that this camera is defective. What you're looking at is the absolute noise floor of the camera...

One more...I forgot I had some charts (duh) that might help illustrate the issue. Attached below is my 800 ISO chart that I posted last week. this chart is exposed to "spec" meaning the white patch is at about 60 IRE. If you look at the waveform at the lowest patch, that's a "gloss black" on...

Ok...well that's an interesting point of view...maybe not the best way to evaluate a camera, but fine. I dropped your "raw" still into a timeline and certainly on a waveform you are flirting with danger territory as to where that black t-shirt is sitting. You may think it shouldn't matter, but...

Still monkeying around with this footage, and I wanted to bring up something that I noticed last night which is that, again, Canon's LUTs are remarkably bad at rendering the range of their Log formats. I started to question why I was seeing such different results in color between the Clog3...

Received my camera yesterday and I'm putting it through its paces getting ready for a couple of projects. I thought I'd share my thoughts randomly as I go through features, and invite anyone with the camera to share their experiences as well. To me, this camera is a natural upgrade from the...
