Some footage...

Here's some stuff I shot with the FS100. This is all test stuff so there are some blown highlights in some shots, while other shots underexpose to preserve highlights. Some low light stuff and a candle light bit at the end. Only 3 flames burning and I was only at 18db gain!! Please excuse the abundance of rack focussing. Just checking the speculars....

Lenses used:

Tokina 11-16 f2.8
Canon 50mm f1.8
Rokinon 85mm f1.4
Canon 70-200 f2.8L
Lensbaby 2.0

All daytime shots used pretty high shutter speeds since I had no ND's for any of this stuff.

This stuff has been graded slightly. The reason being is that my pic profile allows highlights over 100IRE and a slightly raised black level (above 0IRE) helps prevent crushed shadows. The grade applied simply conformed the lift and the gain to normal levels.

Please download rather than stream. Thanks.
 
The sensetivity and lack of noise in the night/dark shots is impressive. The codec really seems to hold up with your rack focuses.

Enlighten us with your detailed picture profile! :beer:

black level: +5
gamma: cinematone 1
black gamma: middle, +7
knee: manual - knee point: 105% - slope: -5
color mode: cinematone 1, level 8
color level: 0 - however for a lot of shots in this test footage i cranked this level up to test the camera/codec against the nasty saturation blowout that the 7D does.
color phase: 0
WB shift: all zero
Detail: 0
 
... and it shall be dubbed... AgfaChrome!

Sharing footage is great - sort of like visual Buddy Breathing 'til we all have our cameras in hand.

So you kind of "deactivated" knee?
Interesting!

Actually I didn't. The 105% level allows it to clip at 105IRE, giving me a little more room to play with. This has to be corrected in post but the info is preserved.

My goal was the smoothest rolloff possible and these settings seem to do it. My test for this was very unscientific. It was when I was shooting the ultra wide landscape from the hilltop found in the footage. I was trying to preserve the sky while opening up as much as possible for the shadows. This setting worked the best.

The auto knee actually seems to work pretty well too, but won't allow the extra 5% on the top end.
 
Alright, that´s very valuable info!

The manual says:

[SLOPE] : Sets the knee slope.
-5 (gentle) to +5 (steep)

So -5 is a "stronger" compression than +5? I mixed that up...so +5 would be like knee (almost) off
 
i think gentle means a softer clip and rounder curve than steep does. i found that where steep would have my sky blowing, gentle would preserve it. and when it does blow, gentle seems to make a smoother transition/falloff, which makes sense..

What lens is that first shot? Love the bokeh. Nice shots all around, great little cross-section to look at.
 
On the bright side, at least you still have the D7000 in case you want to do a crazy alien-induced electrical storm effect in camera :-)
