Yeah hanging that lens onto the end of the Canon 40mm pancake seems like a bad idea

Great work as always from this company though, always glad to see a company focus on anamorphics that don't kill the budget. Actually sad to hear the lens works better with modern glass, prefer old metal lenses for use with the anamorphot.

​Yeah, you going to hold that rig handheld? Where are you going to put those mic/recievers for that ELR input? Ergonomics matter when you have to deliver a product. Also HDMI is a HORRID thing to rely on.

I like how they also list the third party products used in post. That's pretty classy of them, if it were Adobe: "EDITED COMPLETELY IN PREMIERE!"

​This.

I am curious about the rolling shutter and the S16 mode. Hope to see some samples.

I have used the nikonhacker bitrate hacks on my D800 and they have been very stable for me. I think you should be safe in installing the hack and using that for video recording for the camera.

I shot this with the hacked D800.

As for the Nikon cameras you should use. I have used both the D7000 and D800.. The best option from what I have seen is the D5200 & D5300, great image quality in those cams and better framerate and compression compared to older nikons. 

I think you can shoot fully manual on the D3100. Set it to M-mode on the Top dial, turn your lens to Manual focusing, flick the live view trigger around the record button and you should be good to go. Only thing I don't know is if it has any limitations in terms of aperture changes and ISO adjustment during recording.

After using the camera I hope they add an even higher bitrate option for those with fast enough cards. 

Been experimenting with anamorphic on it, works great. And I still love the colors out of this camera!

Great footage as usual Brother! Her hair just pops out of the screen and that waterfall shot is spectacular.

I, like you, have just fallen in love with this camera. The look of the image that it produces and the way it handles just plain works for me. 

Honestly, Super 35. Full Frame is great, but only if I see the lens stopped down a little. I don't like the long lens shallow depth of field look unless done for a specific purpose. 35 and 40mm Anamorphics.

Loved your example shot with the MOVI, great camera work using it in creative ways. Enjoy the effect of it seeming like a tripod shot and then suddenly having movement.

​Gorilla Grain + Speedgrade Fuji ETERNIA LUT+ very slight magenta and white balance adjustment.

Here you go.  Used the Rocky Mountain Movie Converter to Prores HQ. Can't wait until premiere can edit these natively, should provide better results.

Just use Gamma C on default. Looks great straight out of camera.

This is slightly graded.

Gamma DR, Sharpness -9, Contrast -5, ​Master Black Level +11. 1/50 shutter

Personal Settings:

Gamma DR, Contrast -6, Sat +1, Sharpness -8, Gamma +11. Also for shooting I think it's best if you slightly underexpose the image, but that is personal taste.

Also don't discount the 1080p mode if you need to cover fast action, it's plenty sharp and the RS is amazing in that mode.

Great footage man, I've been shooting with the camera as well and loving it.

​Agree with this, the audio gain issue needs to be fixed. It's a significant problem with the camera for interview/doc work.

Another great to have feature. 2K Mode (2048x1080)

Unfortunately I tried this, the camera does not do clean 1080p out, I'm hoping they fix this in a firmware update. 

That is very impressive, great beauty lighting. Nice clean framing as well. Did you use the 28-70 ED?

I don't know why this happens with youtube, but the colours don't pop until the video is set to 1440p .

​Porst 55mm f1.2 can be adapted.

Check out the Fiilex Kits as well. Great CRI and reasonable pricing.

​Wow, THIS. Have a MF setting in the menu : AUTO [current implementation], 90, 180, 270, 360 settings. You could change the focus throw to suite your taste. I would not hesitate to buy samsung lenses for video if this was a feature.

Okay Then:

Hopefully possible

- Clean 8-Bit 4:2:2 1080p output- Currently it only exports clean 4K, so we cannot use an external recorder with the excellent 1080p mode on the camera.

-Digital Punch in while filming/Adjustable in frame

-120 fps mode under the 1080 24p setting.

- Exposure Compensation in Manual Mode - Exposure compensation that just adjusts the ISO, controlled on rear control dial, for heavily backlit scenes when shooting weddings/docs. Just have it adjust nothing if its not set to Auto-ISO

- Ability to map Audio level to the control dials

-Digital Telephoto - Similar to ETC Mode on GH series, center crop of the sensor in 1080p.

-Ability to manually enter focal length so old lenses work with flashes

Long Shots

LOG

4K Anamorphic Mode - Center of Frame for 2X Anamorphics, would also hopefully help with rolling Shutter because it would not be downscaled.

6.5K Bursts at 24p (however long until the buffer maxes out)

240 fps 1080p Burst  (however long until the buffer maxes out)

Also if you can get a word in have them talk with Adobe about getting H265 working in Premiere Pro, they already bundle the camera with Lightroom, so they should have a dialog between them already. 

​Hey Andrew, would love a Center Crop 4K mode on this camera.

Main problem for video at the moment for professionals is the Rolling Shutter in 4K mode (1080p is AMAZING). I'm assuming this is because of the way the image is being generated, 6.5K being down scaled in real time to 4K.

I think it would be great if we could have a mode that takes the center 4K off the sensor, avoiding the downscale and thus improving rolling shutter at the expense of a cropped image.

You'll still be able to have the current 4K video modes and their amazing image quality, but it would be great to have a mode like this when filming documentaries or fast action.
