Hi I wonder what it the most common settings of the detail. I can add sharpening in post but it will also bump up the grain intensy. You can degrain and then sharpening but I think it still bump up the grain abit...How is your work flow?

cheers

I shoot around +2 in deatail and thats very soft on panasonic 42" pro plasma coming out throw "aja kona" from "final cut".
 
I tend to drop the detail a lot, since I don't like it to look too harsh. Which most video tends to in my mind.
 
Detail is dependent on your selected gamma curve. The cinelike gammas have about half the edge enhancement of the other gammas, so +2 in cinelike-d looks about the same as -2 in b.press, for example.
 
Yes thats a good point Barry. I know you said this before but I didn't remember it was that much. I thought +2 was about 0 in b.press.
I always shoot in cinelike matrix, and gamma I like cinelike d or B.Press.
Most time i find b.press to contrasty and not as filmlike as Cinelike D.
 
Eljoninjo, I think you might have better results if you try to find the right level of sharpness in camera rather than applying sharpening in post. With these cameras it is always a balancing act between sharpness and noise, so don't forget coring.

b.press should look a bit contrasty when compared to Cinelike D as they are similar curves with the exception being that b.press rolls off the toe a bit more -- less noise.
 
I think the hvx is ok in close up and medium shots. But if you have an objects like 10 meters away from the camera (the focus on 10m) and you do wide shots (no zoom). They will not be crisp. Specially if you have them isolated by an uniform background. Maby its the glass, maby i just need more rez.
 
Is it better to focus at infinity for that situation (subject at 30 meters, wide shot)?
I remember reading about ideal focusing for wide shots...can't find it now.
