    Resolve Raw Tag and SLOG3 CINE EI

    This feature did cause all sorts of confusion when it appeared in Resolve three years ago. It is also only a set of very specific formats that support the RAW controls such as it must be SLOG3/SGamut3.Cine in MXF. In my testing "Sony RAW" is not supported from in the A7Siii (even if re wrapped...

    FX6: BIG 6 for FX6 is here.

    I think it also has to do when setting the AF area to Wide (or that is what Sony Service told me when I had the FX6 & 28-135 in for a clean/service).

    FX6: BIG 6 for FX6 is here.

    I'll need to check, my only complaint was AF was when in High Base + evND On

    I see over on NewsShooter, most seem to like this windowed mode.

    FX6: BIG 6 for FX6 is here.

    I see what you mean about how the video displayed "shrinks" when the OSD is on. Not good for old eyes!

    vND Suggestions? - 72mm Sony 20-70

    I've loaded my cart with a 2, 4, 10 fixed ND (and all the extra 'bits') waiting for the sales as I'm in no rush. The 2 and 4 can be combined for a 6 so between the three strengths I should have a good set of options for normal daylight filming in a fairly minimal package. The 10 is for doing...

    vND Suggestions? - 72mm Sony 20-70

    FWIW - They also expanded on why these sort of VND don't work well at wider apertures, you end up with uneven patches of reduction across the image due to varying angles of the light. Soft of like vignetting but it is not even.

    vND Suggestions? - 72mm Sony 20-70

    I just tested a mates Maven brand fixed ND Filter set in some bright Aussie Sun. He has the 1/8th (3Stop) and 1/64th (6 Stop). the 1/8th was a bit to weak blowing out past F22 on bright white objects, and the 1/64th too strong for shadows. Even being lazy, I could shoot indoors with it on...

    vND Suggestions? - 72mm Sony 20-70

    Back in Oz, and checked out the Nisi Swift True Color Variable ND system. I noticed on the product page "We recommend focal lengths of 35mm and longer with our variable ND range." so I pinged them a Q on this and got back "the recommendation for using the VND with longer focal lengths is due to...

    vND Suggestions? - 72mm Sony 20-70

    Thanks for the tips. I'm looking to keep the look of the camera "normal" to not attract attention like the FX6 gets (so not matt boxs). I saw there was an announcement from the evND vendor of an add on (same as the one Sony uses?) but can't find a retail product.

    vND Suggestions? - 72mm Sony 20-70

    Wow I'm getting a lot of issues using my FX6 here in Turkey and Greece under the general "no professional" equipment argument. A7Siii with the 20-70 does not get a 2nd look. Only issue is it lacks a vND so is kinda limited in the bright sunshine. Any suggestions for a "good" vND that I can...

    FX6: PZ 28-135 Auto Iris Ring Issue

    Yeah, I did not want to post straight away, but it as been fine for the last couple of days. I still now double check on the OSD as I no longer trust the mechanical feel of hitting A.

    FX6: PZ 28-135 Auto Iris Ring Issue

    FWIW, it seems to have acclimatised and sorted itself out. Working normally now. Odd.

    How will Sony strike back?

    Plus the new Canon 24-105 has a PZ add on. I'd bee keen!

    FX6: PZ 28-135 Auto Iris Ring Issue

    Yeah, I don't think the lock switch is electronic, just olds the Iris ring in the A position....which is now a bit off. Anyway, got a workaround for now. Thanks for the ideas.

    FX6: PZ 28-135 Auto Iris Ring Issue

    Thanks. Edit: I run the IRIS completely from the lens ring. Normally when on "A" the FX6 is in Auto Iris, and when moved off "A" it is using the desired setting (f4, f8 etc)...so I've got both Auto and Manual iris control just using the Iris ring on the lens. I've never used the dials on the...

    How will Sony strike back?

    Yeah, my 28-135 pretty much lives on the the FX6. It is a great combo for what I do at a price point that is more than acceptable. I'm not going to a Angenieux or even stuff like the Sony C16-35 PZ which to me is an overpriced repack of the older 16-35 2.8. As mentioned other mounts have been...

    FX6: PZ 28-135 Auto Iris Ring Issue

    So, I've got the Iris Lock Off and the Iris ring moves freely. I can use the Iris ring to select a particular F stop without issue. Previously, if I rotated the Iris ring all the way to "A" (the hard stop) then it would be in Auto mode which I can see in the FX6 OSD. Worked fine like this for...
