When you just pulled the plug out of the PC, the audio & recording just went on&on without failure. If you pulled the plug out of the DAW itself, the files where there, intact, up to the very moment the power was pulled. Never one corrupted file. I'm going to take a wild guess and say it was a Soundscape ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The times that the battery depleted during recording the files were alway there and working after a automatic camera shutdown. Same here, when battery dies randomly, I still have an intact perfect file saved when camera is turned back on. Also so got my Tilta cage set yesterday! Beyond happy with it, looks great, feels great! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Turboguard 188 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I forgot to order the Tilta T5 holder but my 8sinn works just as good for now. B11DBD7F-9FE7-4E51-87D4-7283F5B0CB7A.MOV kye 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

B11DBD7F-9FE7-4E51-87D4-7283F5B0CB7A.MOV Half cage is pretty cool! the 8sinn seems fine. If you were buying Tilta, would you get the ssd holder that fits just above the screen? The SSD cable is from the 8sinn implementation? What do you think about the HDMI adapter? I didn't know they were still people packets of cigarettes in this world (joke)!!

I didn't know they were still people packets of cigarettes in this world (joke)!! I would probably buy the SSD holder if I came across it readily in stock. I don’t mind the 8sinn for now, I’ve never in my life accidentally pulled the cord out while shooting, and am confident that I won’t at the moment. The hdmi adapter is great, I do wish there was one for the mini xlr as well but don’t know how that would work. And YES! Haha, I do not like those vapes.

xzobinx 82 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I have to say for a cinema camera the still I managed to pull out of it is pretty incredible perfect for thumbnail like this JordanWright, wyrlyn, Ehetyz and 4 others 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ehetyz 157 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Yeah I'm continually impressed by just how nice stills you can get out of the P4K. I was visiting my parents and filmed their kitten a bit - she's more agile than mercury so trying to take actually catch her in focus for a photograph is kinda impossible. Especially if you're dicking around with a 1.2. Much easier to pull out a still from a video clip. Emanuel, xzobinx and webrunner5 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
webrunner5 2,464 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 They look more filmic than the video does. Interesting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kye 3,123 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Nice stills. I'm confused as to why in the first place anyone would have thought that RAW 12MP stills wouldn't be any good. I mean, we regularly see great looking compressed 4K stills, or even 1080 stills. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
webrunner5 2,464 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 "What stills resolution is the camera capable of? A Full resolution is 4096 x 2160 = 8.8 megapixels." From the BMD site. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Because a lot of people still don’t know how to color video correctly. They slap on some adjustments to one frame of the shot and then move on to the next. I see it all the time. Working with the stills is easier as you only have that one frame and then, working with say ACR, makes it, again, so much easier. webrunner5, MurtlandPhoto and Snowfun 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Before this camera my workflow is pretty much slap on a decent lut => tweaked a few thing and deliver. My goal this year is to try to up my colour skill. This is a video that I did while strolling the street of Melbourne.

Colour is done very nicely, but if you want to learn more then come over the to this colour grading thread... You've done well with the Helios - I don't think it matches my GH5 quite as well as it seems to match the P4K, but it might be that Melbourne overcast light that helps it along perhaps The audio is quite good. I didn't really miss a mic, which is great considering that audio was featured in the video. Of course, always pack a mic by default Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Turboguard 188 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I feel like I’ve seen a video when people are removing the flaps covering the inputs outputs, but when I try to remove them it feels like I’ll break them. Are they not removable? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JordanWright 334 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 i've removed mine. You can just do it by hand my pulling as close to the base of the port cover near the hole as possible. It takes a while but eventually they will pop out. They can also be reinstalled but that took me a while also. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Anaconda_ 870 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I took mine off. You need a bit more force than you expect, but they don’t break and you can put them back in later if you want to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Does anyone know if the 6.1 update fixed that problem? We write the file headers/close the file every 5 secs during record, our cameras since the BMCC have always periodically written the headers/closed the file so at most if you lose power you might lose the last 5 secs of the clip. If you lose power before 5 secs of recording, then it could be an issue. Snowfun, kye, webrunner5 and 5 others 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
