I watched the Sigma video on Cinematographs. It beggars belief they expended so much effort developing a feature that is kind of an Instagram fx. I find cameras that are trying to walk the line between pro and consumer never quite achieve either.

This is the most pro full frame raw capable camera for the price, it just happens to also make cinemagraphs.  so it did achieve the pro part very nicely.

Guys, there *is* a LOG profile added. It's called Color Mode = OFF.

 

May want to add that to the article, a few people have reiterated the misinformation in this thread.

Its not a log profile, if it was why would sigma apologise for not making a log profile?

but its a good option to use nonetheless.

Why do you feel that it is a log profile?

Thanks for explaining the steps to achieve a proper lut, I may look into making one at some point

Right now I'm not too worried about achieving the final look at shooting time myself, I just want to know if I'm exposing properly.

The rest I can deal with in Resolve

Use "color mode off"for monitoring exposure in raw.

It gives the most accurate image for zebra's

And if you use an external monitor you can load the LUT for the final intended look.

Yes sigma and bm worked together to make this happen, its not a secret

I may get the viewfinder loupe for it. And gorilla pod for handheld work. You can argue it would look less weird than IBIS if used nicely this way.

I use the Kinotehnik optical viewfinder on the smallhd focus oled, its not supposed to work but I made it work.

So now I have a 1080p OLED evf

It is suported to work on the blackmagic 5" 12g

I would get a black magic monitor before getting a ninja simply because BRAW seem more flexible.
And the BM has sharpening for display, that the Ninja does not. so focussing would be easier on the BM

But since I have a smallHD Focus OLED I will stick with that and a 2TB Samsung t5 for now. ( and Slim-raw )

Yes I have not seen it occur yet, this could be because I use a vintage zeiss, or it could be that it simply is not as big a problem as people make it to be.

I will double check but I think the "color mode off" setting in the camera is embedded in the CDNG meta data somehow.  And resolve seems to use this info to make the imported file display a flatter color than before. 

I started at the time code when he mentions it

I only used CDNG 12 bit at 25 fps

The HDR seems to only work in FHD, and I did not try it yet

I will ask Sigma about it as well. Let's see if this is actually correct, as we don't know if the source C5D asked is a senior engineer or someone in sales.

It was the product planner from sigma who said it

It will be researched for the next camera.

Went into the garden to test the new firmware

I opened the CDNG's in photoshop, shot at full-frame with the Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar® T* 3.5-4.5/28-70, I'm happy with the results.

 all shot at 25 fps with firmware 2.0  

I wish metabones would make a L mount to Nikon Adapter that has no optics inside but does communicate the lens data to the camera.

This would let me use the metadata of my zeiss ZF.2 collection on Sigma Fp and other L mount cameras

the in camera raw playback will come this summer

Yes its the small rig cage, I'm happy with it

I allows me to connect to the smallrig focus oled.

BLC12

I'm using some cheap batteries and they work just fine,  so I think the Chinese third-party BLC12 dummy battery + AC adapter  will work just fine

I was posting only recent videos, and they were in response to the request of some nice sigma footage, and I think they are nice 🙂

Yea maybe a bit much at once, I'll keep that in mind

Sigma also reads this topic for firmware feedback and I think they are doing a great job improving the camera

Lets stop talking about black magic as a company in this sigma topic.

Thanks for starting the new thread.

How about a utility or app that converts Cinema DNG to ProRes in rec 2020 space, which you can then edit and grade in Adobe Premiere? Has this been covered yet?

https://www.fastcinemadng.com/

I'm not sure if this can do rec 2020, and its pc only.

I'm happy with resolve and after effects for conversion.  ( after effects had support for lens profiles )

Here you can find the general topic about sigma Fp

Resolve raw workflow

Sigma fp is the latest camera that still support DNG, Lets talk here.
