    Its highly likely that it will be purely dependent on what controller people want to use.
    Its fundamentally in there but just mapped to a thumbstick at the moment. A controller with a fader in (or many faders) is easily supported.
    Watch this space, I suppose.

    Yes

    Its for live interactive control of the profile, sharpness, noise reduction, saturation, hue and ISO to create new custom profiles.
    Amazingly enough, it actually work as well!
    Even more surprising is that it allows this while you are recording.

    I am currently checking out two controllers to use with it that I think will be the definitive ones for people to choose.
    There'll be an update with them next week so stay tuned !

    BTM_Pix reacted to mercer in No Joke - RAW 4K on the 5D Mark III   
    Am still working on my film and still loving the results. Here's a screengrab from my shoot yesterday. I just threw a LUT on there, to get it into Rec709. I'm sure the final look will be different and more refined...
     

    However I do have a question for some of the ML Raw veterans out there... I tend to shoot a lot of silhouettes, and I am finding it tough exposing for them. The Raw histogram is telling me it is overexposed when the sun is in the shot, so when I close the Iris to get me some sun stars, even though it is still showing as over exposed, I am getting a crap ton of noise. I know @squig ends up with some dark footage, any ideas?
    Also any new news in 3K/4K Raw?

    BTM_Pix got a reaction from jonpais in Sigma 8-16 - will it work on ursa mini 4.6k at 8mm?   
    I can't give you the definitive answer regarding the exact combination you're after but I've got an 8mm Samyang that I've put on a Nikon D800 to do a quick test for you.
    The D800 is obviously full frame but does auto crop at 1.2 and 1.5 so these examples show you exactly what it covers at full frame, 1.2 and 1.5
    Judging by that, I'd say you'll probably get away with it.
    Maybe

    BTM_Pix got a reaction from jonpais in Would You Perhaps Be Interested In A Different GX80/85 Colour Profile???   
    No, the post can't be edited unfortunately.
    This is the current (and very likely last in this incarnation) version of the html file.
    The hue control is undocumented in terms of absolute values so you will have to experiment to push it in the different directions by amending the following line and change the last value to effect the change
    http://192.168.54.1/cam.cgi?mode=setsetting&type=colormode&value=cinelike_d&value2=0/0/0/0/5
    Positive values will change it further towards Violet/Magenta and negative values will change it further towards Yellow/Green.
    The preset ones in the html file are 5 and -5 respectively but they are just meant as a starting point for your own experimentation.
    With regards to a release log, its probably a bit too low tech to need one to be honest !
    As I say, this incarnation of it (barring something unexpected with VLOG) is as far as it goes from my making any new versions of it but I think other people are making their own versions of it now so perhaps they'll do some more with it.
    It was purely from my point of view a way to begin prototyping wifi control of the cameras rather than an end product in itself so all my efforts now will be towards the hardware controller.
    The ongoing thread for that development is here 
    And there is also likely to be something else that will be side developed regarding a more hands on approach to picture profile control that is coming out of this thread here
    When I say likely, I mean I'm probably going to have it working by Monday

    Haha.
    Where am I going with it?
    I think you and I are in accord over how much received wisdom there is with much of this stuff. And truth be told I'm as guilty as anyone else for perpetuating much of it!
    When you consider the image controls available in a G7 etc you have the following :
     
    8 Base colour profiles
    4 Individual modifying parameters to those 8 (Saturation, Sharpness, Contrast, Noise Reduction) each of which have 11 possible settings (+5 to -5 and 0)
    2 Global parameters (Highlight and Shadow) both of which have 11 possible settings (+5 to -5 and 0)
     
    That means that there are over 1.7 million different combinations.
    And thats without the additional Hue control that some Lumix cameras have.
    Oh and thats 1.7 million different combinations per profile.
    Can anyone honestly say they've tested all 14 million combinations to determine their definitive setup for these cameras?
    Obviously no one has, even though I know sometimes it feels like we have
    And on the basis that all of these parameters do actually make a difference, there could be some really interesting combinations of them that no one tries because the received wisdom (and lets be honest with 14 million combinations its no bad thing to use that) tells us that we should use a smallish core base and then tweak from there.
    Do we actually know, for example, if you have the noise reduction at +5 and the shadows at -5 and the highlights at +4 on a Natural profile with the saturation at 3 and the contrast at 2 and sharpness at -3 that these cameras don't suddenly look like you've got Kodachrome 64 in them? No, because we'd guess that those settings would make it look like it horrendous and not go near them. Does anyone even really know what happens if you have the noise reduction at +5? Does anyone even really know if it actually works at all as I can't imagine most people have ever tried it at that setting.
    And the reason we don't know, in my opinion, is that not only are there so many combinations but that its just too fiddly to be diving in and out of menus to change them and have the immediate feedback of what the interaction of those parameters actually looks like.
    So, where I'm going is to make that a lot easier and hopefully people can come across some happy accidents and make profiles that they don't have to spend hours tweaking later.....

    Could you talk me through this behaviour with the AF-ON button Jase and whether you know if it is the same on the 45 1.8?
    I have the 45 1.8 and when I'm testing it with my hardware controller in MF mode I can focus manually by wire with the joystick and activate an instant AF by pushing the stick in and I can also activate a joystick steerable mode where I can move the focus point around the screen and then press the stick in to activate an instant AF on that point.
    I'm curious to know if this would solve the issue for you if it did the same with the 17 as I don't have one of those to test with?
