FS700R - Profile Testing out of the box - Images in thread.

[Shooter]

I was late to this game but recently purchased a Sony Nex FS700R

As is my custom I immediately got down to testing it after scouring the web for specs and info.

Thought I would share my findings and test methodology.

1.Settings are Default "out of the box" PPs from Off (Null) , 1 thru to 7 (PPs Labelled in the frames)

2. The exposure is intentionally the same for each PP (f4 @ 500 ISO - ND1/4). so that a true comparison to a baseline can be shown in the waveforms. Shadows / Mids / Highlights . (Black Gamma Whites)
This plus chroma is the most important information that I glean from tests such as these.

3. Each PP is shown as an image (frame grab) and its waveform (screen grab).

4. Nothing is graded...but I have done extensive CC and Grade tests on them subsequently.

5. Camera was Black Balanced and then white balanced to Tungsten source. 3200K

Firstly...HD Bars generated from Camera.

My conclussions from this series of PP tests

It is important to note that I did not change the exposure thru the tests and these are "DEFAULT" settings.

Every Profile ( Default) is easily gradeable and it is significant that they are broadcast legal. (Luma)

This is a dream camera as regards image control. I am very impressed with it.

This test combined with the Gamma tests ( separate thread) have given me huge insight into how to control and extract what I want from it in any circumstance.

FWIW - I "bake in" 80 - 90% % of my "look" when I shoot.
