Well since the E-M1 II already oversamples from 5K and is very very close indeed to the A6300's 4K the answer is yes. GH5 will have a flood of high detail. I long since stopped caring about the sharpness of 4K though. More sharpness is the last thing we need. 10bit, dynamic range, colour, less aliasing, less moire, less rolling shutter are all more important when it comes to 4K, which already has too much detail according to most of the cinema audience reaction to it being projected.

Looks like you've found the reference image Sony's engineers used for skintones. Maybe Magic Lantern can hack the pizza and reverse engineer the cheese to make it look more appetising? Then Sony can take delivery from the pizza boy and start all over again.

I am impressed with how little rolling shutter it seems to have in 4K. A much better option than a Sony A6500 for handheld shooting, I think.

Interesting the 5DS and 5DIV are on there. ML isn't The 5DS actually shoots quite nice 1080p. It will be a contender if they end up porting ML RAW to it.

He has $100k and he thinks my C-LOG profile is too expensive at $15. And then he expects help from my forum.

I think he should spend it on a green and yellow spinach & mozzarella. Tomatoes probably too magenta for him.

Jesus christ, some people are so cheap. When Sony first introduced S-LOG they charged something like $5000 for it. And you think $10 is too much. Go spend it on a pizza instead fat boy!!

IBIS moves the sensor and if the lens is close to vignetting on your A7S II, as the sensor moves the vignetting will move as well. So maybe try a longer lens with the anamorphic. And be careful to dial in the right focal length. This might be the source of the problem actually as an anamorphic changes the field of view only horizontally, and the camera won't expect that. If you have the IBIS focal length set to 75mm, try a wider setting such as 50mm.

Yes but a couple of dusk shots I had to go to 8000K with (on both) You can leave it on AWB if you like and still use the EOSHD Pro Color profile just fine, it's just I don't trust AWB do always do the right thing or give me the optimal tones. Plus nice to have control especially indoors to warm or cool the image in-camera.

Yes that looks pretty accurate. Fixed the sound cutting off half way through the video -

I got to play with the new Olympus E-M1 II today, a pro Micro Four Thirds camera they hope will sell for $2000. It certainly pulls out all the stops to imitate a miniature 1D X Mark II. This camera does NOT crop the sensor in 4K mode like the GH4. Instead, it over-samples from 5K down to 4K, using the full width of the sensor even with sensor-shift 5 axis stabilisation enabled. Featuring a 237Mbit codec, the image quality in Cinema 4K mode is outstanding with very little rolling shutter. Read the full article

Fucking YouTube. Reuploading AGAIN!!

For those asking for sample videos - http://www.eoshd.com/2016/11/eoshd-pro-color-samples-shot-sony-a7s-ii/ Even I am surprised how well it held up.

Fine on the a7S. The oldest camera, the A7 doesn't have Picture Profile support though does it.

I expect it would work in Picture Profiles but how about the custom white balance settings? Do you want to beta test it on your X70 for free? Davey - no it is not just about SLOG, it is also a REC 709 fix for colour straight out of the camera. Much more Canon like and it solves lots of other stuff as well like the blue highlights freaking out, clipping and the horrible yellow cast to night shots. Examples coming soon... difference is big!!

EOS Utility 3 works with all the new cameras. Just make sure the Movie/Stills switch is in the Stills position when you connect the camera over USB.

I think this was the case with the IV as well. In fact RX1000 series has for a long time done a full pixel readout from the 20MP sensor, even for 1080p. I call that 'oversampling'. There's still a slight crop in 4K mode compared to full sensor width too, no? From what I have heard... I have not yet tried the camera and not sure I will bother. Unlikely AF system contributes to heat New sensor and more DRAM on the back, maybe. The other Sony cameras do that too. Super annoying as it means you can barely see the screen at all in direct sunlight. They should have put the whole thing in a slightly larger LX100 style body with larger battery. Does it really need to be so small and fiddly... NO. Or maybe in a new model 4 months later. GRRRR

Same problem in Britain with Boris. A blithering idiot who one week says the UK should leave the EU because it's bad for our country, then on a visit to Turkey the next week campaigns for the Turkish to join the EU because it would be good for them to do so. So if it is good for Turkey, why is it not good for the UK? And does he realise that when he campaigned for Brexit and won, most of the advocates for leaving simply ran away from the situation, leaving the remain politicians to step up and deliver on their impossibly complicated campaign promises such as remaining in a customs union with the EU whilst being outside the free market and freedom of movement. It's fucking ridiculous and it's time people learned to recognise a con when they see one, recognise what is a feel-good conspiracy and what is a difficult fact to swallow, get acquainted with reality and vote based on facts not feelings.

No, I am not saying I don't believe him. I know and respect Simon as a friend and regular on the EOSHD forums. But not everybody's experience in Syria is representative of what is happening to the country as a whole. You have to look at the larger, geopolitical picture and try to save as many people as possible. If the mistake the US and UK made was to arm the opposition on the ground to the regime in Syria, causing a civil war, and Putin's airstrikes attempted to strengthen the regime, it's still fighting, it's still bombing, it's still an escalation of war and civilian death tolls. The US and Obama armed the opposition forces and civilians because they didn't want US troops on the ground. That's a strategy I can appreciate because US boots on the ground was a disaster for Iraq and Afghanistan. Really, what choice did Obama have this time? Indeed. I read the NYTimes interview. Very interesting stuff. Trump can say one thing one week, say the opposite the next week, and none of his supporters are worried by this. In fact they're so used to liars in government by now that they're probably completely de-sensitised to it and think it's just plain-speaking. It isn't even the outright lying that bothers me, it's Trump's inconsistency of beliefs... I think it stems from Trump believing whatever is good for him. He doesn't consider a broader picture. He does what is good for Trump, facts be damned. It's why he repeats sentences so often. If you repeat it, it feels true.

Strange, hope you get it to work as expected. I don't think the sensor or image processor is radically different to before, more RAM on the back of the stacked sensor perhaps so maybe that is causing more heat? But it shouldn't be doing what you claim it is.

Putin has some interesting things to say about Syria and what he said in this interview in particular strikes very true - The problem is I don't think his intervention has saved lives. It has only furthered the amount of bombs falling, the amount of people dead and the amount of destruction in general.

It is the most RIDICULOUS thing that Apple's flagship NLE doesn't have LUT support built in. If you're going to use the same LUT on every clip I recommend EditReady to apply the LUT during transcoding to ProRes. It will make your edit a lot smoother too than editing the camera files direct.

Yo Bro I also have sympathies with some elements of the anti-establishment candidates like Sanders and Trump. Some of their supporters even though they are at opposite ends of the political spectrum actually share a lot of the same opinions. Such as, Blair and Bush are war criminals, not liking the US intervention in Syria, not liking the hawkish war machine which Hilary would have continued with Obama did, despite a lot of liberals hoping he wouldn't. In the UK, I don't think Trident should be renewed and the money should be spent on small businesses, the science and the arts instead. All this military spending is a waste and we should be more like Norway and be more passive, we are not a world military power any more. Eat lobster and be happy. I am though a disaffected liberal. I don't like my side. I don't like the other side. I think both sides of Labour are inept and I don't like Trump's politics or his naive ideas. He's a climate change denying businessman who gets his political news from Facebook and whose government policy was knocked up in 10 minutes from some wikipedia articles. I don't think we want a US aligned with Russia. Putin's behaviour in Syria has been a problem. He will bring with him into the white house those who completely fail to recognise the contribution non-white people have made to American society, he will marginalise people and poison the discourse to the point where we are already talking about white supremacy more than climate change. He is threatening to shut down NASA's climate change research department and focus on sending a man to every planet in the solar system instead so the US can say to the Russians how amazing and powerful they are again. Good luck with that. I will fucking need to be living on Mars myself at this rate, there won't be a planet Earth left that is inhabitable. He says wind energy kills birds FFS. There are real pressing fact based issues facing humanity and he is just like the Brexiteers, part of a new anti-rationalist movement against the establishment. Much as I dislike the establishment, the alternative of popularism is not what we need. It deals with feelings, not facts. When you fact check what Trump is saying it all falls apart and looks childish. Most of what he was elected on the basis of delivering is actually impossible. Indeed what popularism does is to give the public the mandate to make decisions based on propaganda and misunderstandings. The referendum on the EU is a prime example because most people voted for an outcome they didn't know what would entail, they didn't have a clear plan, they voted against something they didn't understand, I don't think the public should be making decisions of this scale and complexity without the necessary understanding. We are not EU experts in the civil service. We don't have the knowledge to vote either way. It could be good to leave, it could be bad, we don't know. It is up to the government to research into the facts and then for them to take tough decisions. Throwing it out to an Ask The Audience is ridiculous and shows weak leadership. Democracy is being abused to cement power by the establishment. Deep down our PM knows the decision to leave is wrong which is why she voted to remain herself. A majority in the government under Cameron felt the same way and they know it will be a tough and hard Brexit. Yet the courting of popular opinion is so fundamental to their power and their existence and their careers that they will happily do the wrong thing for the country if the majority tell them to. And remember this majority didn't vote based on their amazing understanding of EU membership pros and cons, rather 'feelings'.

Does it still have the 3 minute limit in 4K?

I don't understand the video and don't understand why it is being given as a good example of cinema. This is mainly a cinematography forum, about cameras and shooting images. It isn't a content lab. OK you get 5,674,515 people to endorse your message, you move some of them, you get 48,000 likes and 179,000 re-tweets. I am sure the content must have some merit. But I am equally sure that it won't be remembered in 30 years like the work of great cinematographers is. There is poetry not just in faces, words, music, dialogue, messages, content, stories... Images are poetry. If you cannot grasp this point and think that images are meaningless without shoving some kid's story in front of the camera, then reconsider and go and see Koyannisquatsi immediately. Cinematography in the purist sense IS content and HAS a message. Incredible camera work, beautiful rendering, the lenses used - the medium is the message. Cinematography can also elevate almost ANY kind of content so that it has more impact and is more memorable. I am SICK TO DEATH of people saying that boringly shot content is all we should aspire to because hey... it works... of course it does... but it doesn't mean to say a cinematographer should stop speaking the language of cinema and go and become a writer or a one-man filmmaker instead.
