    bristo got a reaction from deezid in Panasonic S1H review / hands-on - a true 6K full frame cinema camera   
    Thanks for your reply.
    I really don’t understand why Panasonic do not try to fix it fast??
    I think the advantage of S1h is to be used without any external recorder and  ghosting issues are really a problem to deliver professional results...

    That is slog2/3. Color gamuts affect just the color response. 
    Try the cine modes with the cinema/pro color mode if you want to avoid noise but still have a gradable image.

    bristo reacted to richg101 in Is it possible to expose correctly Slog2 in A7RII????   
    for typical scenes in outdoors bright daylight with dark shadows:-
    set your ev dial to +2 then use the histogram.  If you're not sure what the histogram should look like for correct s-log2 exposure just set the camera to auto mode and see what settings it wants for a +2 exposure.  then you know roughly how to set the camera up and how the histogram should look.  
    for fool proof exposure just use a +2 setting on your ev dial and auto shutter.  use a variable ND to keep your shutter as close to 1/50th as you can
     
    if you're not shooting in these conditions switch to another picture profile.  a cine profile will be more preferable for low light where less priority is given on maintaing highlights of light sources etc.
     
    for easiest exposure, I am a fan of cine4.  this was shot with the ev dial at -1.0

    No need for +3. +2 is fine.
    To expose correctly I use these three things:
    1. Internal meter
    2. Histogram 
    3. Image
    Zebras are mostly at 100+ for clipping but sometimes I use them at 70 for max skin exposure. 
    Keep in mind that many times you have to deviate from +2, for example less when trying to keep things from clipping or more when a face is in the shadows.

    bristo reacted to Simon Shasha in Quesrion. A7sII or A7rII   
    Go the A7RII. I owned it, and though not owning the current A7SII, I owned the A7S - the BSI sensor in the A7RII produces an image that I believe is much superior to the original A7S, and everything I have seen from the A7SII. I find the colours of the A7RII are much more accurate, shadows much cleaner. You really don't need more than 12,800ISO (if not 6400ISO), which the A7RII does fine. Personally, I scrap a location if it needs more than 6400ISO (back in the day I'd scrap it if needed more than 1600ISO) - when ISO gets ridiculous, good chance one shouldn't even be shooting there in the first place.

    Me too, in most cases I don't need to shoot long, but rarely I do, and know that card is heating. So far it's no problem, just reminder to keep an eye, "if anything"
    Yes, that is correct. If you set up bluetooth hack before run bitrate hack - it's works this way, yes, you get 140 mbps without editing the nx-ba.gdb file

    Cineroid comes to mind. They're a little bulky for VFs but they can double as tiny monitors. Plus I think there's a high resolution one at a reasonable price.

    I kind of hope you're trolling, but I feel compelled to respond anyway.
    tl;dr: Nobody has been making any implied promises, and your suggestion had already been tried and failed before you posted it.
    First of all, nobody is claiming to be working on super-duper secret projects. Everyone has been very clear that they are doing this for fun in their spare time. From what I have read, nobody is releasing much since there isn't much interesting to release. For what it's worth, there have already been results, in particular from Otto and Vasile. Both of them made no promises yet delivered exactly what they said they expected to do. Vasile claimed to have found how to increase the bitrate, and provided a video as proof. Yea he could theoretically have faked it, but I see know reason to think that at this point. Otto stated his intentions very clearly and his results have already proven useful to people who want to take videos of events longer than 30 minutes (as well as anyone who wants to investigate their camera further).
    You got radio silence on your suggestions because people were already working on that and ran into problems that you did not address at all. In case it's too much trouble for you to actually read what people have already written, the issue was that if the camera app is killed it freezes the camera. It's hard to replace an app if you cannot even remove it. If you think you know how to prevent that, I would love to hear it. If you want "traction" in this discussion, try actually being helpful.
    Regarding the DRIMeV SoC itself, I mostly agree with your educated guess. It is almost certainly the same die, and the ARM cores are 100% identical. Unfortunately that's not saying much at all since most modern ARMv7 cores are identical as far as the software is concerned. It's the details of other blocks that would determine whether or not the important components of the camera application run or not. I can't tell just from skimming the kernel source code.
    It takes under 5 minutes to find and download the firmware update from Samsung's site. If you really don't have 5 free minutes in your life, I don't understand why you are wasting time criticizing people who have actually accomplished things and posted them here. If you are 1/2 as smart as you make yourself sound, it should take you less than an hour to unpack all the components of the firmware. I had never unpacked a firmware before, but it only took me two evenings to get all the major pieces out. The offsets, sizes, compression, and filesystems are almost all documented right here in this forum, so there is no excuse not to take a look if you really want to test an idea.
    I totally agree that the ratio of people waiting with high expectations to the people working on it is rather high. The Magic Lantern forums are just like that on a larger scale, but that doesn't change what they have or have not done. You need to keep in mind that this forum is a community of filmmakers, not hackers (or even "photographers"). The point of this thread in the first place was to show interest in modifying a camera, at which I'd say it has admirably succeeded!
    Finally, nobody cares that you're a busy person. So you like your HoloLens and want to play with it. Cool story. We're all busy people too, so suck it up and either contribute or go back to lurking. Sorry for the tone, but that's because I can never stand people who drop into discussions and claim that they could do it all better if they didn't have so many more important things to do, yet don't contribute anything useful.
