DBounce Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 yeahh.. ar7ii doesn't mean f*** the crop mode on the sii (plus slog3 is probably the biggest win for this camera anyway) Apparently it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Nooo..? Wanting a good crop mode on the a7sii with slog3 is not fulfilled by buying another camera without slog3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ebrahim Saadawi Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 When you have a camera that can record its entire sensor output, (A7s), crop modes are irrelevant. It's only for recording HD on a higher res sensor (4K, 6K, 8K). The camera has a 16:9 native FF 3840x2160 pixels, and you can record all of it, then you can crop as needed more percisely in post. Doing a s35 crop mode in-camera would be recording a 2.7K area, so recording 4K and cropping to 2.7K, 2.8K, 2.3K, etc is the way to go as it's more precise and preserves the most resolution,About the 18-35mm, the lens actually covers more than it claims, actually from 24-25mm to 35mm it covers full-frame, at 35mm it's a very nice 35mm 1.8 prime. So if I was to use the 18-35mm on an A7sII, I would use it regularly in 4K FF mode, and crop the parts with heavy viggentting in post (the shots at 18-25mm). This way you get the most minimal loss of resolution. The cropped parts can be exported in 4K with the whole project, it'll be upscaled and it will still be a pretty sharp UHD file, noone will probably notice the cropped shots to be a bit softer, or of course you can better go oversampled to HD at the end and get a full 1080p resolution file.
