SR Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 SettingsI tried shooting some 120p footage on the camera and found, whilst good, is a tad mushy (-10 sharpness, same as with the gorgeous 4k footage). Perhaps it's because of the pixel-binning at 1080p. Can I get some of you to share settings (sharpness, etc.) of what you guys found optimal for slowmotion 1080p footage?Further slowing downI was also trying to see if I could further slow down by 50% to a 240p-equivalent footage using Twixtor. Shooting 120p at 1/240, the footage didn't seem to be affected by the "native" shutter speed. In fact, 120p footage works well as 240p. Now, the real question is, if I wanted to go further slower, perhaps even up to 480p, what shutter speed/settings would you guys recommend?

NX1user Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Yeah it does a look little mushy compared with the camera's normal output. Compare it to the 120p of an A7 and it looks fantastic.The two things I've found that help the most are to have the subject well-lit and to have the camera on a tripod. I know those are the basics, but they do make noticeable differences in the quality of the slo-mo.I haven't played with Twixtor. I'd be curious to see your results though if you'd care to post them.

sandro Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I can also suggest to avoid shooting in 120p at high ISO. At 1600 details will be lost big time, I believe due to the bitrate too low for this framerate (?). SR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff CB Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 1) Don't ever shoot it above ISO 800, turns to absolute mush past that point.2) Don't shoot with flat settings, in other words don't go past +6 black level or -4 contrast.

I'm having a bit of a weird problem, with footages varying in Twixtor output. One, which I shot of pigeons flying, came out nicely enough when slowed to 240p equivalent, but the other shots (people walking, etc) came out rather glittery.
