No idea where you at but some kind of habour area could work maybe, could even be a habour on a big river....ones were they unload containers and stuff. Maybe an oil rig or an abandoned stranded tanker of some sorts? Maybe even a marina, that was smashed up by a hurricane....

I believe it’s for ProRes Raw which is currently only compatible with FCPX.

Aarghhh. I specially looked it up the ninja v can record dng, too. But this probably does not mean it can rec raw from z6, meehhhh?!?

Haha, yeah you are totally right. It is more like “you clean your shoes before entering the house” kind of feeling. I think it is pretty much about triggering the stuff to grow or give the spores not enough substance to life of....

IBIS seems limiting though with the odd effects it can bring.

Exactly, that’s what I meant with “reality just not quite there yet.”

But can't take a fs7 apart and make it small. Also no idea but the next cam with autofocus and raw is c300? P4k, no af and the lot does not take photos either. 

I am on the verge of getting a p4k but to really shot it stable you need to rig it up. With z6 the only rigging to be done is add the ninja Ibis should do the rest. For me it seems still the smallest package.

hybrid, continues af, Ibis, raw, in a10x15x15cm package, jfc.

Specs wise it is mind blowing. Reality not so much, yet. Let's see how the firmware updates are coming along.

Hey Kye,

I took apart some old Nikkors and found this dude to be very straight forward. https://richardhaw.com/

For my nikkors it was quite helpfull to have the propper Japanease screwdrivers to not strip anything. Watchout for the coil?!? threading you really have to mark that stuff other wise all is lost, you will loose infinity or close focus afaik. you can always find it again but re and disasamling the Lens more then 20 times and testing for infitiy will drive you nuts, my brother in law did it, I got the lens still laying around here, perfekt for macro stuff but, hmmmm.

Keep infected glass away from the others!!!

From my point of view, it is the labour intensity that makes it only viable for better ish lenses. I cleaned a Nikkor 50 1.2 from a little fungus and it is great. Screw the coating it is all about character and bang for the buck.

Happy fiddling.

Why was it painful to shoot, to much weight? Video looks very clean.

What is a "cooperate image" clip?

Haha, is this a typo? Image video about a company, dadida?!? Like: "Our company does this and that, nice B-Roll, while someone talks over it, cut back to the guy talking, dramatic music after he makes a good point and so on...

heres a stupid question: if my (slow) sensor readout runs left to right, top to bottom, is that a factor in moving the camera?

like a camera whip to the left would be going the opposite direction of the readout, so to speak, so panning to the right might look a little better?

any truth to that? this is the kind of "article" im going to write for kayleerumors lmaooo

Very good point! It seems (on my cam) that pans up and down are smoother. Maybe right to left panning might be better. Also one could turn the camera upside down. Or shoot 4k portrait and crop the picture in post landscape :D .  It's not like I am wip panning like a crazy fool, just a tat to fast for the codec to catch up, damn.

In terms of what you can try to improve the clips you've already shot, here are some thoughts.

Try using the stabiliser to smooth out the pan a little.  The stabiliser will crop into the image, but if you're only wanting to stabilise a slightly jerky pan then it shouldn't have to crop much at all to really help.  Here's a useful video:

If you're really seeing compression artefacts then you can attempt to hide them by adding a small amount of blur to smooth them over and then adding a small amount of sharpening after that to match the look with your other shots.  This is a pretty nasty thing to do to your footage and if you add too much of this treatment it will look like very low quality footage, but if you add a tiny tiny bit of this then it might improve things a small amount.  I'd suggest using the OFX plugin called something like Soften and Sharpen which allows you to soften/sharpen small/medium/large textures individually, so you can do it all in one place and just turn it on/off to check if you're making things better or worse

Nice work on plowing through a paid gig - hopefully the first of many?

 Thanks, It might be just good enough that they will hire me again one day.

On the clip there is writing on the wall and that is just fairly jumpy, that's were I can notice it the most. Will definetly check the Video and see what I can do.

No, there are no artifacts it just turns to mush. And yes exactly when I check video on a small tablet or smart phone everthing is gravy but reviewing on my screen gives me eye cancer. A well....

Haha, ok so what you are saying is: I can blame the camera, or me for doing pans. Great. Can't wait to get my hands on RAW then.

One more question if you shoot 4k and pan and then convert to 1080p would this make it less shit?

Cheers.

How can I use ProresRAW for Resolve on PC?

Hey Guys and Kaylee,

so I am adding the finishing touches to my first "proper" coorperate image clip, man what a cluster fuck but still fun and quite a steep learning curve on every level, communication wise, shooting and editing aswell.

To get to the point. Some clips I have shot espacially ones where tripod panning it feels like I am back in Canon t2i country resolution wise. On top of that I have shot the pans in 50p and when rolling in 25p it seems fairly choppy, slowmo seems to sober it up abit. I was wondering if someone has a trick for Resolve to even out the chops? Further would the precieved resolution los (maybe just motion blur?) be less when shooting in raw as the compression can't really handle it and mushes it up?

Just in general I am trying to get to grips with how it works as pretty much all the glide cam shots i did seem to be super smooth (as in not choppy) AND sharp but they are not straight pans. Is it a sensor readout problem?

Anyway maybe so can enlighten me a bit, cheers.

Pretty sobering. But everyone knows canon  dpaf is the ducks nuts. It's just they are cunts. 

If i could afford a 6k camera for fooling around I would kind of be working on productions than would gain me 6k and up. It is just not, I found a cheap gh5 and made a nice short or what not territory. 

And in that sense the z6 seems to do quite well if you compare it to everything canon has done in the "up to 2500€ 4k? realm". 

Would i switch to canon, yeah totally, been there. It's just like so said upstairs, you can vote with your wallet..... 

No idea how deep you want to get in the game? But I would consider to at least stick with one discipline. If you will try to master rap, beatmaking, producing, Puhhh. See you at the other end, unless you want to spend the next 5 years in the closet. 

I would suggest keep it simple.

get beats from the internet, contact people ask them for beats. Once you have recorded over it. Get someone to master the stuff. And/or keep it fun trashy and simpler give it some "live recoding"  feel and fuck HiFi

dont do drugs and gang stuff ?.

No one stated the obvious so far. It is a shame they did not put a round a eye piece on the two cameras. 

Same here, one week worth of editing, and the fucker wouldn't start rendering it out. In the end mpeg and xml was the only thing what I could still save it in ---> could recover of what i had in resolve. It's just too much stress

Also during image review I find no way of displaying histogram and/or blown highlight warnings. All this is possible on Nikon's DSLR so I don't understand why it's not on the Z yet. Firmware must be in the works. 

Thanks for all the insights.

Can't you just flick through histogram etc in pic viewing mode by clicking up/down with the joystick?

@Dustin

same here. 2 month into not touching premier, Pugh. I have found BASIC editing fairly easy to switch. The only thing I keep getting wrong is deleting clips (and their space) because in resolve it can eat up other clips and sound. There is delete and there is backspace. Other than that it's a breeze.

It also depends what your actual intent with the material is, how good does it need to be?

It is kind of the same question that has been asked last week. How can you make a tiny hybrid cam look like its cinema? We'll you kind of cannot, but you can get pretty far.

My feeling for sound is, it is so much more harder to bring it to a high class level, if you are a one man band and shoot out in busy places. 

From my little experience: the camera mounted shotgun mic is totally insufficient to record someone talking. there will always be a great amount of background noise humming airplane train and what not. I got skunked so many times. Shot in calm rooms and the shotgun mic picked up some random hiss and hum from air conditioning and stuff like that. Even a lav can be insufficient with loud background noises. Just my two cents. But than again a shotgun mic is better than no mic at all ?

+1 same recently got zoom f1 does the job. I am not into high fidelity but the version with the lav seems to satisfy my customers need for quality sound. On this you can connect different accessories like stereo mics and I think also xlr phantom thingy. Let's say this thing is fairly fool proof...

Unless you have a second dude pointing that thing right at someone's head and out of frame this will be desaster bound to happen.

Well, on the road you can easily drive 160km/h with 100hp. With 400hp obviously, too. But on a normal viewing situation 4K is already a waste while 8k is simply for show off race car drivers were 99% of humanity just shake their head about this guy in a lambo. It is manly just penis size at this point and everybody knows size is very important and storytelling is completely unnecessary if you can have 8k or a lambo respectively.

@Geoff_L it would be great to see or hear about g lenses with VR in combo with ibis. Or on top of that plus electronic VR. What works best where, e.g. For still, panning, etc....

Cheers

Ok guys stop trolling at once. It’s all great, I can shoot everything with a 20mm and introduce ANYTHING else in post cropping, shake....only question is if they have a grip so I can shoot portrait mode. It’s practical bliss for the casual shooter...

Further more people are used to adaptive streaming. Not just one bitrate version of the video being downloaded. It is more important than ever since many are watching using their phone on the go.

 

 

Yeah, all valid points!

i sometimes think simpler is better. For instance I liked Vimeo more when I could just put it to 1080p and let it preload then watch it later full in good resolution. Without the adaptive part fucking up my streaming experience, same goes to YT. A plus is also that I have absolute control over streaming quality ---> no, "YT is fucking up my grain" ?

Or you could go @viewport and serve to screen size?

Surley it will never be as elaborate as YT but the general focus would also be different. Video quality would be important, rapid fire served entertainment with ads not so much.
