The Dancing Babamef

are you purposefully misunderstanding what i say? i meant the external recording to proprietary media, for one, i don't think you can go to any local electronics store and buy the DJI SSD straight off the shelf. and considering the fact that the DJI SSD doesn't come with the product, for two. not at least on the 6k. it's standard on the 8k version though. if you want it after the fact, you have to shell out 169€ for the SSD mount and 749€ for the 1TB PROSSD.

i expose using the native waveform in the Ninja V to see when the original RAW signal gets clipped. the camera display has the "rec709" look in it and the monitor tells me when the ACTUAL signal is clipping.

what's the goal in the conversion though? Pr Pro and Resolve handles them just fine.

yeah, besides those two big caveats... and it WAS capable of PRR actually internally though.

this. maybe it's something everyone needs to experience firsthand. i thought that i would buy these vintage or modern cinema lenses with character and take these epic shots with them but just focusing on keeping the camera steady and trying to use focus wheel feels makes me switch to my first party AF lenses. i was recently going through some stuff that i shot and with a simple grade the footage was really filmic lol.

that's true. maybe i'm just a balls-to-the-wall type of guy. if i see me not needing to edit the footage extensively i switch out from NRAW to H265. but it's still kind of a bummer that they had the ProRes RAW internally but patched it out. especially how cheap fast CFxB cards have become, for one DJI SSD's price you could get 2 or even a 4TB model of CFX. and it would be that big of a hassle.

wow, so i was way off lol. that's another thing i don't recall hearing these caveats when i was looking at the reviews for this.

the camera is really attractive for the right person but i just can't but help look at the price of the media for it though. am i misremembering or did they have some kind of adapter that you could put your own M.2 SSD to?

a lot of the content on products made by big channels feel like infomercials. for example, i was interested in the S1 ii and a creator was talking about the 70fps burst mode but failed to mention that the buffer takes 35s to clear and you can't lower the burst fps at all. don't get me started on hardware unboxed, i trust my grandma more than him when it comes to testing and correct results 😁

those photos look amazing to be from a phone, then again a 1" sensor and a competent lens (for a smartphone) will pay off.

when i bought my Z9 i had to upgrade from my 3080 Ti. if anything i was running out of was VRAM. My specs at the time were a 13900, 4100c16 32GB RAM. a good GPU is a must as encoding with NVENC is the best option. Faster and more power efficient, you're not going to draw 160W over an hour for a long video thru your CPU.

was this message a lifesaver or what. i was just about to ship them my unused camera gear.

i just watched that guy's video, talked about Andrew. that's why i decided log back in here and yap.

" a forum should not just be a link farm or library of YouTube clips" finally someone said it.

you asked like the sensor in A7S3 and FX3 would be different. They're not.

i have the Meike 105mm PL T/2.1 and the Nikkor 105mm MC f/2.8 for my Z9. I used a wireless focus to adjust the focus the way i wanted, in more of a an artistic way. when holding the rig and trying to focus on ducks that were 3-2-1 meters away and then panning somewhere else without shaking up the footage, the manual Meike lens was a better fit.

tell me why you're comparing film and digital cameras? a film camera on a tripod makes it better than current mirrorless cameras? did i get that right?

i have adapted an FX-mount to my Z-mount without issues

you probably want to enable HW accel, that puts the strain on to the GPU not the CPU.

What a book! 😂

Was dead a long time ago. I was a kid watching their videos with my D5100. Then Alamby left, Then Kai, Then Lok. New people popped in but they didn't have the same energy. I unsubbed and forgot about them, subbed individually to Kai and Lok. Literally the same thing with Machinima and the crew that was Bruce and Adam.

15B: 1900mAh 14Wh 15C: 2280mAh 16Wh....

I do that on my Z9. Shooting bank A is 8.3K60p and B is for 4.1K120p both RAW.

in my own testing the 15B-C battery lasts for about 1h 10min in non stop 4K recording. add to that burst and LCD display then it's going to give you about 45min. I usually carried 3-4 batteries with me and it was a hassle if I didn't immediately go and put them to charge which was which and going through all of them to find out the empty and full ones.

In my field of work I couldn't get the Z8, even if it wouldn't overheat, but it's the batteries for me that sealed the deal. I used a Z6 for enough time and worrying about taking extra batteries on a 3 hour shoot and interrupting video recording to replace a battery. I was ready to move to the big boy. I'm not a hardcore professional but even now as just a hobbyist I need the Z9 more and multiple times I've had to switch to the vertical shooting position with my 200-500 and twisting my hands with the same lens on the Z6 was enough for me to realize that there is a better way. And now I only have 2 18C batteries with me. 1 is enough to cover a day with ON/OFF 8.3K RAW video recording.
