    I agree the Electoral College is not the only nor arguably the most egregious example of an undemocratic process in the United States.  For the sake of brevity and avoiding inflaming certain people I didn't want to make a complete list of all the times certain people have sought to override the will of the people.  But you are correct.  In election after election Democratic policies and ideas win the most votes and yet somehow when we awake the next morning we have Republican faces staring back at us... then we go with guns and bombs and lecture other countries about democracy.  Prior to the election President Obama and Eric Holder had already pledged to work on the problem.  The Democrats should be in panic mode over undemocratic processes.  What they should not do is cynically change policies they believe in and that the largest block of voters like just to win an election.

    The electoral college only applies at the presidential level.

    Democrats have lost almost 1000 races combined under President Obama.  It should not be surprising that they lost the presidential election too.

    As far as Democratic talking points are concerned, I wish the fact the Democratic agenda Hillary Clinton pushed got the most votes was a Democratic talking point.  It would be nice.  If you want to see the Democratic talking points google "DNC".  It is laughable.  Everyone is running around with their hair on fire asking "what went wrong".  There is tons of talk about putting a black Muslim in charge of the DNC.  A 75 year old socialist is saying with a straight face that he is not ruling out running for president.  Let me get this straight you win an election by potentially millions of votes and your reaction is OH MY GOD throw the baby out with the bath water and change our whole message.  Only in America would a party that has won the largest block of voters in 6 of the last 7 elections over a multidecade period say they need to change everything.  There is not a single Christian, western, first world democracy that I know of where the candidate who won an election by millions of votes would be declared to have had the wrong message.  And not just slightly wrong, burn down the whole party and start over wrong.  It is absurd.

    A little bit like arguing that your team has more total yards except the other team scored more points.

    Another fun fact. Under President Obama, Democrats have lost 900+ state legislature seats, 12 governors, 69 House seats, and 13 Senate seats. And now 1 Presidential election.

    You can see why the DNC is in panic mode.

    Occasionally, I use other Film Simulations like Provia or Classic Chrome. And I use a variable ND-Filter to adjust to the highlights with the histogram in photo mode, then I switch to video mode. I usually focus manually, but I also tried auto focus. Right now I just checked with two lenses. With the 18-55 with OIS the autofocus was kind of ok. With the 56 (which is known for slow auto focus) AF was bad, so I focused manually with it.

     

    Since it doesn't have a Histogram in video mode, I noticed that I see an exposure meter running down the left side of the screen.  I don't have one yet so I'm only going by the manual's picture so I hope that's accurate. 

    Can I use that to set proper exposure?

  4. I've never owned an Olympus but I'm really tempted to go with this over the Fuji X-T2 due to IBIS and the articulating screen.  That stabilization is pretty damn impressive and not having to lug around my gimbal is a big plus.  

  5. ""I think one thing that should be distinguished here is that the media is always taking Trump literally. It never takes him seriously, but it always takes him literally. ... I think a lot of voters who vote for Trump take Trump seriously but not literally, so when they hear things like the Muslim comment or the wall comment, their question is not, 'Are you going to build a wall like the Great Wall of China?' or, you know, 'How exactly are you going to enforce these tests?' What they hear is we're going to have a saner, more sensible immigration policy." - Peter Thiel

  6. Another question to the X-T2 users about custom settings...

    Does the X-T2 have buttons or something that you can assign for custom settings?  Like you could switch between them easily?

    If yes, does it save the Resolution, Shutter and ISO?

    With my GH4, I could easily switch between 24P, 60P and 96P just by spinning the custom button wheel. So, I'd like to know if the X-T2 has similar.

  7. OK, thanks.

    Google tells me that there is a Fuji app that you can use for the T2 but the reviews are terrible. Can anyone elaborate if it's doable?  One issue I had with the Samsung NX1 is that the app would override the film settings in camera so it was worthless.  Does the Fuji do the same?

    Premiere needs to download an HEVC plug in. My copy prompted me and then downloaded it. Try restarting the app and/or your computer maybe.

    Thanks, man but I got it working a little while back. I had to move my source files to a new folder and it started working again.

    Apparently, just based on the Adobe Premiere forums, there are several people who've run across this problem and its related problem, no audio import for video files.  The solution was either to clean the Media cache or move the source files to a new folder.

    There is also another bug where the Preview runs much more slowly now than 2015.2.  The solution there is to untick the newly-added option:  Edit > Preferences > Media > Un-tick "Enable accelerated Intel h.264 decoding"

    Could only check the cam now, here are the settings :

    Normal Gamma | Saturation -4 | Sharpness -10 | Contrast - 3 | Master Black Level +15 (this is still to be tweaked, maybe at 8-10 should be better to avoid banding).

    These are def. my fav settings so far, they remind me a lot of canon flat profile, and already look good on its own, even better graded.

    Those look similar to Casey Wilson's settings a few pages back.

  10. Hey fellas -

    While it sounds like everyone's efforts are concentrated around the bitrate, I was wondering if changing the menu functionality is in the cards?  More specifically, is it possible to have the Resolution saved as part of the C1 or C2 custom settings?  Right now, it saves the Shutter and F stop among other settings but the resolution is not one of them and it really does save a  lot of time when you're constantly switching between 24P, 60P and 120P.
