i see .....tell me whats wrong

[djgvinny]

im using m2 with nikon lenses ,i tried evrything but i allways get that noise , i never get crisp clean pic , if anyone can help HELP and let me know what to do

 

[Amr Rahmy]

there is a limit to everything, don't expect greatness.
the combination of camera with the lens added to the adapter and the lens. if you get a cleaner image without zooming in and the adapter, it's to be expected.

if the camera did not take clean images before the adapter, it wont change.

 

[Amr Rahmy]

old nikon or nikkor lens are not that sharp, if you change the lens you might get some improvement but don't expect night and day changes.

 

[djgvinny]

thanks fro the fast reply
are you saying thats how it supose to look , and nothing its wrong with my setup , and those little static i get with the m2 its ok ?

 

[Amr Rahmy]

you might need to change the camera settings a bit and apply a touch up of color correction, and you might end up downsizing a bit to get a better image.

so you might loose more brightness for contrast than you already have and might be more difficult to find better locations to shoot and might need a bit more light than usual.

but it's to be expected.

I dunno about with the M2, but could it be a collimation problem? Especially if you used a wider lens for those shots?

 

[djgvinny]

what is collimation problem ?
thats what im using on this shot , nikon nikkor 35-70mm 2,8 d , fstop on the camera 5,6 , cine v or cine d , ND filter 1/8
any input or tips its ueseful
thanks

 

[Amr Rahmy]

using primes instead of zooms

edit: still, that will add sharpness and contrast but won't remove any artifacts

 

[djgvinny]

when you say edit still do you mean by going to scene file and edit or what ?

 

[Heezzi]

Post your setup and will help narrow down the problem more.


Edit*

Do you have a UV filter on your lenses? The footage looks foggy. That will help.

 

[djgvinny]

the setup as i said above , cinev is the stock scene file that comes with camera .. no uv filter i dont have any

 

[Amr Rahmy]

i posted a reply and forgot something, so i modified the post. i don't know the forum policies, but i already double posted on this thread once today and didn't want to do it again. has nothing to do with your question.

 

[Amr Rahmy]

adding light and using a filter will help with the shadow noise.

 

[djgvinny]

if you zoomin inthe pic u can see a layer of noise , is there anyway i could adjust the colors or push the black higher or else to get beter picture , i seing people using same setup no filter and they get way better quality , thanks amrrahmy for the help, by the way amr where u from ?

Mainly your picture just looks like the blacks are washed out though. The HVX should never by run with blacks at default 0 agamma tends t be washed out anyway.d the regular cine

Lower your black level to -5 or so for a start and raise your detail to at least +3 or even all the way to +7 at leats with cine. Try using HDF norm at Black -6 and the set-up should be 0 not 7.5. Try cine matrix as well. The M2 is a muddy beast at best though and it has all sorts of set-up issues.

I have no suggestions for cine v, but the above should help.
