Very nice! That feels like something you can drop now and not hurt it. Some kind of umbrella to keep rain out of the vents now

I can turn on Smart Range + to get the exact same issue but then it vanishes when turned off. Smart Range + in the movie menu only affects image when in standby preview movie mode or whilst recording and the "Dynamic Range" option for Smart Range + / HDR in the stills menu only affects live-view whilst not in standby or recording. Seems to work right and I am on v1.10 as well. Maybe something went wrong with the firmware update. Did it reset all your settings upon upgrading? Did mine! When I first got the NX1 with Smart Range + turned on I was "WTF" as well. Some people who are unawares of what that does are reporting it as a bug when it isn't. You guys seem to have a genuine bug going on with it.

I can't make my mind up, maybe buy both.. GH4 & A7S..
Andrew Reid replied to Hitfabryk's topic in Cameras
Advantages - small, light, sharp, AF for stills Disadvantages - expensive for a 35mm 2.8, more than a Sigma 35mm f1.4! Fly by wire manual focus is trickier. No advantage to AF for video. I prefer the FE 55mm F1.8. Should have stabilisation for that price though and the Sigma 50mm F1.4 is as sharp, if not even sharper! Bulkier though. Don't get too heavily invested in sony glass if you might buy a different system later. Canon & Nikon mount Sigma 35 / 50 1.4 will come with you and these lenses will die with your A7S. -
Wonder why it only affects some units not others? It's definitely Smart Range + that does the shift. Just tried it and it's a carbon copy of what you're getting. Point at light, image gains up ISO to bring the shadows up. It's definitely turned on and the bug is that you can't seem to turn it off even when disabled in the menus. Hope they fix it quick but very strange, because you'd think a firmware bug would be on ALL the NX1s shipped so far. And you're running V1.10 right?

I can only reproduce the exact same issue when Smart Range + is enabled in the Dynamic Range option, stills menu. You need to switch this off in the movie menu AND stills menu.

Maybe a bug with spot metering or centre weighted, try changing it? Which firmware are you all on? Still unable to reproduce the problem.

Here's an example of what I'm talking about... http://www.dxomark.com/Cameras/Compare/Side-by-side/Nikon-D3300-versus-Canon-EOS-1Dx___928_753 Nikon D3300 ($399) vs 1D X ($6999) Same score for both - 82. Now find other odd results and do a test... take a real world shot with both cameras and look at colour, feel, noise, general performance, etc. Post the results on here. I will be doing.

1st film from Canon (Official) - Canon EOS C100 Mark ll
Andrew Reid replied to lafilm's topic in Cameras
At same price you might have a chance on a used 1D C and get the best image in the world though -
The Digital Bolex has great skin tones, very flattering. Great camera for the money! It's detailed and rich without being too stark and revealing.

What is the best camera for stills & motion right know?
Andrew Reid replied to Matrox's topic in Cameras
It's off topic! I don't wreak your threads fuzzy with off topic stuff about makeup and drones do I? If you want to start a separate thread be my guest but stop turning every gear discussion thread into one about content and filmmaking skill! -

Andrew Reid replied to Matrox's topic in Cameras
The D5300 had the best image. A6000 a bit easier to use and mirrorless lens mount more adaptable. -
Film didn't come off to well vs the C500 in this shot though did it... http://www.hurlbutvisuals.com/blog/2014/02/canon-c500-vs-film-camera-test/

Andrew Reid replied to Matrox's topic in Cameras
Fuzzy, please don't derail the post. If a filmmaker needs advice on hardware on a forum he's entitled to it. All the great acting and stories count for naught if the wrong gear is chosen and it can't get the shot. Also read Shane Hurlbut's opinion on why tests are important http://www.hurlbutvisuals.com/blog/2012/09/the-importance-of-camera-tests/ One day someone is going to derail someone else's internet research with the obvious "skills before frills, content is king" shit, and they are going to go off and make a mistake that ruins a shoot because of some gear related accident. So stop it. -

Is anyone else having this profile pic problem?

Canon 1D C vs Sony A7S 4K - dynamic range - preview
Andrew Reid replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
It's the other way round on the clipping. Just look at the images I've put up from the original files. Don't try to grade the web compressed JPEGs! -

Andrew Reid replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
That last one is closest to the actual colour of the scene, just needs desaturating a touch. Yes, S-LOG is asking for a grade. Haha. That's what it's for. Let's get back on topic (dynamic range) now please. -
I'm on the new firmware.

It must be Framing Mode being "on". Can't be anything else. It's what I turned off when I had the issue, had me mystified for a bit as well. Also I just got this message on Vimeo from another NX1 user. He confirms the problem was caused by Framing Mode as well. --- I'm experiencing an issue with my Samsung NX1 and I was wondering, if you've ever encountered that yourself. Been on the field filming today and I've noticed a strange pumping, pulsating, brightness changing (or whatever you might call it) in the picture. It happens with no change in the framing or lighting, but I've also noticed some kind of Auto ISO or Exposure Compensation when shifting the camera into the sun. UPDATE: I think I've just found the culprit. There's the Framing Mode under shooting options which is supposed to adjust the display exposure (and just that of the camera OLED display. It seems to be actually adjusting the recording. Neat little bug. Have to confirm this tomorrow outside, but I'm pretty sure this is it. You can probably easily reproduce this. Just activate Frame Guide, use spot metering and then move the framing into a bright light source.

Most likely Twitter / FB related bug yeah.

It's 8bit. More to come from NX1 + Shogun.

They are wrong.

Better have another go at correcting then The crayons should look like they are in the shot below (still shot with D750 in raw). Also check the warm wooden box colour and the pinkish book cover.
