joshjones_ctva Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I've uncovered an interesting development. Not sure if you guys have noticed this or not but it looks like there is more macro blocking in the cine gammas than in SLOG. I tried every gamma curve but here are two examples. The one on top is SLOG 2 at 3200 ungraded and the bottom is CINE 2 at 1000 iso (same thing, 0db) . I was testing low light. Both are using SGAMUT.CINE @ 3200K. SLOG 2 has more "visible" noise but it's finer grains and looks great when graded. CINE 2 has horrible blocky chunks in underexposed areas. I found that all the cine gammas carried this trait but the LOG profile didn't. This makes me more confident that tweaks can be made in firmware to the cine gammas. It seems like it could be part of the NR issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel_st Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I have now noticed the makro blocking in my footage. It was 1080p50 with only 800 ISO @ cine2. So sad. I first only saw a flickering in the center of the image. Then I magnified and saw it better but it was most visible when the video was playing. Every second frame the normal noise would disappear and become a blocky chunk then normal noise again. Very strange. I also attached a strongly color graded fram grab with two frames that were directly after each other. Left left is the frame with normal noise and right the frame shows how the noise becomes a blocky structure. This is visible in the footage as flickering, which everyone can see and gets stronger when color graded. I hope Sony really fixes this soon. I have notified my dealer and they notified their Sony supplier in Germany about the issue. I have not heard back yet. I think everyone of us should write to their dealer so they put pressure on sony so they will fix the Noise Reduction problem or give us a better XAVC codec with higher bitrates. By the way, does anyone know what SD UHS standard is used in the FS5? Do you think it supports UHS-II and we could hope for a higher bitrate update?

Christopher Darlington Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 CPU usage goes way up because its interframe not intraframe. This is kind of a deal breaker for me. FS5 v2 hopefully will be intraframe. I may just get FS7 instead. Really liked the size of the FS5 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Shasha Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Was there a firmware update with a higher-bitrate 10bit for this camera, or is it still stuck at 50Mb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
