    Not sure if it has been confirmed before but the bmpcc 0.58 speed booster works on the P4K, nice option for the 120 windowed mode ?

    Would be cool if there could be a "Speedbooster Zoom" that's variable between 0.58x to 0.71x

    X-T3 or Pocket 4K?

    Btw what lenses are Fuji guys using? An all around zoom and primes for portrait. Also can you adapt the Sigma 18-35 with it or is it better not to? Thanks

    All around zoom:

    18-55: stablised, good IQ for the price, small and light.

    16-55: ultimate IQ, lightning fast and accurate AF

    56 f/1.2: go-to porait lens, slower AF

    Sigma 18-35 can be adapted, but AF is unreliable. Good for video shooting/manual focusing.

    The new firmware is out!

    Bug fixes:

    Release NotesAtomOS 10.01

    26 October 2018

    - Fixed a monitoring issue with some cameras where the areas of peak brightness in images would appear black on screen when viewing using selected 3D LUTs.

    - Improved HDMI signal locking to prevent the input from dropping with some camera settings. - Fixed an issue with audio delay where audio was corrupted at selected frame rates.

    It's a shame they haven't addressed the HDMI signal level issue causing clipped highlights and crushed shadows.

    You can change every parameter you want in any picture style, make your own ones,etc..

    To me it looks like he just went for "standard" which is by default super sharpened and with clarity, so people in the store say "whoa this is supa sharp" like they do with TV sets.

    1: Flat 2: Standard without sharpening and clarity 3: Default Standard picture style.

    As far as I know, on Nikon cameras "clarity" only affects JPEG stills, it has no effect on video.

    Strangely enough this was pretty much exactly what I did the first time. But after selecting a memory location it would do nothing after I selected the folder icon to choose a lut. It only allowed me to do this while playing back a recorded video. After that it worked as expected.

    I have two Ninja V’s so it will be interesting to see if this holds true for the other unit also.

    Did you turn off Pre Roll? It must be off for the LUTs to load.

    X-T3 sensor SKU NDA lift:

    (Note that Fujifilm custom designed X-Trans CFA on top of the sensor substrate, the sensor/photosite architecture remain unchanged)

    https://www.framos.com/us/imx571bqr-c-22199

    Interesting that Fuji did not (or not yet enabled) the 16bit/6.84fps readout mode for lower noise floor. Newer generation sensors from Sony Semicon are all capable of 16bit ADC. According to the confidential datasheet, 14bit readout mode has 11.6dB higher noise floor than 16bit HQ mode, penalty being more than half the readout speed.

    Ohhhhhh........ is there going to be a regulation change? Anybody know more about this?

    Will be a relief for all videographers everywhere if the EU finally decides to join 2018!

    Update from Atomos CEO Jeremy Young:

    Quote

    Dear Atomos Customers,

    Firstly thank you very much for your video and for informing us of this issue. Jeromy Young here, CEO and founder of Atomos. I came across your post and wanted to reach out to let you know that this is a bug and is of the highest priority - we sincerely apologies for this issue. The loading of the LUT table in some instances is corrupting and inversely representing some values. In the case you show, this is more than likely the problem. We have deployed the engineering team full time on this and can guarantee a fix will be forthcoming in the coming days at the latest week. In regards to the question of heat, the Ninja V has been tested up to ambient temperatures of 45 degrees C and is the most advanced product we have ever made, it is 1/3 less power than previous generations, when running at full power the Alluminium chasis will get hot to touch, this is normal, the fan will spin faster to ensure the operation is maintained, this too is normal. If, and despite best efforts, there is a fault in the fan or heat sink, as with any electronic product - it will not operate as designed or expected and should be checked. We will be more than happy to work with you, our re-sellers and distributors as Atomos staff to ensure your shoot is not effected! I hope you can all see the love and care that has gone into what we believe is the most advanced Monitor recorder ever built! Stay tuned for an update and happy Ninja-ing ?

     

    GH5S & Ninja Inferno DCI 4k 60fps 10bit stuttering/chopping

    Just an update to the red/pink vertical line issue (on far right side of screen).  I just updated to latest firmware on the GH5s (version 1.2).  There is still no update to the Inferno firmware (still on v8.5).  The issue is still alive and well in C4k 60p only.  Now I'm getting a little annoyed that this hasn't been fixed.  I was told by Atomos there would be a fix coming in the next firmware.  I'm now wondering if there will ever be another firmware update to the Inferno.

    The only thing that might be delaying it is they were waiting to test it against the latest GH5s firmware (just came out yesterday).

    I hope it can be fixed man, there are also issues with X-T2/X-T3 including the signal level issue that affects most cameras. Atomos support hasn't been very responsive at all.

    Knowing Canon something like that is way more likely to be used in a C-series camera.

    Latest leak:

    10.1MP GS High-Sensitivity Full Frame Sensor (without IBIS)
    4K/12Bit/30fps, 4K/10Bit/60fps & 2K/10Bit/180fps XF-RAW (AVC-Bayer)
    Dual Pixel CMOS AF
    DIGIC8+ DV Processor
    ISO100-160000 (50-500000)
    20fps 14Bit AE/AF Electronic Shutter Continuous Shooting

    RF Mount !

    Seems like a Cinema EOS/Mirrorless hybrid.

    SteadXP - Do You Have One?

    It is a very effective product.  I do a lot of stabilisation in post from hand-held shooting and SteadXP absolutely creams most of the post-processing stabilisers.

    This would actually be a very good match for the BMPCC4K, depending on the technical aspects of the workflow.  If you're going to shoot and do significant post-processing like this then shooting RAW at 4K would be the best place to start from in order to get the best results once you've rotated and cropped the image.

    The best way to help is to add some mass to the camera so it doesn't shake so much in the first place.  OIS is good for this, as well as any kind of rig.

    It is a bit of a funny proposition in the marketplace though, OIS can smooth the small jitters, IBIS can smooth small and medium jitters, gimbals can smooth large, medium and maybe small jitters (depending on intensity) and post-processing stabilisers an do large and some medium jitters, so there isn't that much of a gap in the stabilisation options as there used to be when they designed it.  I use IBIS and post-production stabilisers and that mostly gets the job done.

    It is killer for action cameras and tiny cameras like RX100 though.

    I personally find that floaty ultra smooth movement kind of offputting.

    GoPro Hero 7 Black essentially has a "SteadXP" like device built-in.
