Also Ivar, before you return the NX1, you do realize the new firmware allows us to remap the REC button. That's huge. Maybe you should reconsider your decision.

Ivar, the workaround for the NX1 is never to pan and never to tilt. And you can't dolly either. Crane shots are out. Stedicam won't work either. But as creatives we shouldn't be limited by such things, if we can't tell our stories with fully locked down shots, then the problem is with us, not the NX1.

Hi Guys. For those of you that are interested. If you change the clip attributes to DVCProHD pixel aspect ratio in resolve. You het a perfect desqueeze without having to scale or warp. Vey handy. Thanks to Chris Elkerterton for the heads up.

Try 25p instead of 24p.

DCI Mode is cropped and upscaled from UHD anyway as Andrew wrote in his article. So best quality is with UHD Mode.

Can't find any specs for SLR Magic in terms of F-stop, only T (transmission number), guessing it's F2.0? In 4K and 2.3 crop, a 10mm F2.0 lens is equivalent to a 23mm F4.6 on full frame. Not too shabby, and not particularly shallow DOF. The Voigtlander 10mm F.95 is 23mm and F2.2 equivalent- much tastier for shallow DOF. I have the Voigtlander 25mm F.95 and love the look on the GH4. The fact that the lens isn't super sharp wide open really helps the GH4 look more filmic (without needing to add a filter (which will affect highlights, etc., something that blurring in post can't match. Also, noise grain on soft image looks different than blurred noise grain in post)). The specs for the SLR Magic F.95 25mm CINE II look very similar to the Voigtlander. Is SLR Magic using the same lenses/internals as Voigtlander for that lens?

Peter Buck is always a good idea The video is 90% GH4 in 4K downscaled to 1080p in post and graded with Film Convert. Yeah stabilisation is the Gorilla pod. You have to be über discrete in East Berlin otherwise people get upset So no big cinema cameras for me!!!

I don't think so. Very few books on screenwriting actually are worth a straw. They claim to have 'discovered' the ancient receipe for drama (Aristotle) in selected examples of famous films. But their application of the structure is arbitrary, and on closer inspection the theory crumbles. Scripts that are tailored around this structure are all banal, stereotyped and boring. This short article by Paul Schrader might interest you. What isn't true for feature films (I recently watched Godfather I-III again, and while doing so, I thought about it again), is absolute rubbish for modern mini series. What everybody just misses is that Aistotle also wrote on epic drama, which can develop it's plot lines freely. In traditional mini series, the ending of each episode had a cliffhanger, and very often you saw through it instantly. The hero hangs from a cliff? Okay, next week someone will rescue him. Breaking Bad, True Detective, The Killing: More often than not they just present a few possible threats at the end, full stop. They don't promise a climax, never. They promise further developments. Of action. But more important: of characters. The more complicated (and often misleading) the narration becomes, the more interesting and engaging. You have to interweave conflicts and just foreshadow crises that may come. The future of storytelling turns back to the roots of what stories are about. Descriptions and concepts of our lifes. Not compact moral tales ...

That's my 20 seconds video for the FM video contest

​Just look at the second video Ed posted on the first page of this thread, there it is very obvious. For Ed this was just blooming and "normal" but it isn't, the camera is compensating, just like in Agolex example. I didn't even need to see another example to know this wasn't normal behavior of a camera in full manual mode.

​Amen. This is not acceptable performance.

Let's wrap this up. This is not bloom, it's the NX1 doing what it wants to do if it doesn't like the exposure. Would be OK for a cell phone, but in a camera with a fully manual video shooting mode I'd rather not have it. It doesn't do it under low exposure. Sure, might be that not every camera has this issue (though I'd really like to have one that is supposed not to have the issue in my own hands), but apparently lots of units do. So, as has been stated before, this should be a top priority for the software guys, not 1000 new features (that might work as sensationally as the histogram). Here's the comparison featuring a Nikon D800, a Blackmagic Cinema Camera and the NX1: Settings of the NX1 definitely all manual, no guides, no auto anything, I spent 5 minutes making sure of that. Firmware 1.10, though. With the other cameras I did what's usually to be done: throw 'em into manual and roll. Hope I'll manage to get the Vimeo in here, can't seem to get it to work intuitively. Sorry for the bad quality, only one HD upload per week. To everyone who doesn't see the drifting: I envy you, I'd love not to see stuff as well, life probably would be bearable at last.

dpreview posted a short interview with Samsung. They made an interesting comments related to sensor readout speed that would suggest it can do 4k @‌ 24p with full sensor readout. http://***URL removed***/articles/7808127857/ces-2015-samsung-interview-mirrorless-to-outsell-dslrs-in-three-years "The sensor readout is very fast - 240 frames per second. For autofocus object tracking we read at 120Hz. We can do full resolution sensor readout at 25 frames per second, and digital signal processing [with a new chip and algorithms] at 15 frames per second. "

yes a lot of times you can reach out to companies and express your thoughts on how to improve their product. You are doing them a huge favor by being out in the field testing them. Samsung is showing a great precedent for being so receptive to user feedback. Panasonic is also very good at this. But this is pretty much unheard of - how quickly they responded to user feedback. I think the OS the camera works on allows this. It's very exciting news and puts the NX1 definitely in a hotter category. I am very excited to test it with the new log like setting.

I dare say it's time for Panasonic's next GH4 update and soon. Raw out the HDMI port, VFR out the HDMI port, other aspect ratios out the HDMI port. Other than that I love my GH4.

Different aspect ratios for anamorphic shooting and crop mode on the v1.3, please! But I'm sold! This is my next cam!

". . .Particularly interesting is that Samsung will make an SDK available with the firmware update for developers to make their own apps and remote control software for the NX1, which runs from an open source operating system." Everyone together . . ."THANK YOU MAGIC LANTERN!"
