@PannySVHS - Check Zeek's channel on youtube. He has good tutorials how to shoot raw video with EOS M. Lots of tips and tricks. You work all the time in live view mode that ML hack gives you. Histograms are used to measure exposure but I have found they are not perfect. If there is a strong source of light in the frame, measurements are not accurate and number misleading. But it's RAW you have at least 3-4 stops of latitude for exposure, so no worries if exposure is not perfect. Just make sure you don't burn the highlights. With ML RAW hack I always tend to underexpose a bit especially if there is light source in the frame as a lamp for example. The opposite of what most people advise, ETTR and so on. in 1080p it is easy, you have correct live view on screen. Crop mode is very problematic as live view is a black and white image with 1fps refresh rate. According to Zeek you can now use external monitor for framing in crop mode but this never worked for me. 1080p has lots of moire and aliasing, crop mode is beautiful but difficult to shoot. At the end frustration and quirks led me to the point to abandon EOS M and ML RAW and sell the camera. Hopefully you'll have a better experience. 👍

OK - I was inspired by this thread, so I took some footage with an 8-bit camera of a shopping trip and gave it a film emulation treatment. Any guesses on the camera?

I have an EOS R so it will come eventually. I'm also saving up for an R5C and then I can do something for C-Log3 as well. Yes the packs are tailored for specific cameras, I take about 10k color samples from each camera and from these measurements I create LUTs using my own engine. It's quite a long process.

I use gimbals, mono/tripods even with IBIS cameras. IBIS is useful but it isn't magic. I'll take the camera that doesn't overheat over the others if given the choice. Plus all the C-line video features like LUT import, WFM, shutter angle, S35/S16 crop modes, anamorphic desqueeze etc.. That said, I'm leaning towards C70 (+ R6). The NDs, battery life, audio & DGO sensor being more useful to me than 8K.

The Canon C70? The same sweet dual gain sensor as the C300mk3 The C70 is definitely the path I'd go if I was tempted to the evil dark side of Canon. Worked with it for a couple of weeks earlier this year (by "worked with", I of course mean I was the sound mixer on a shoot with it).

Nice work! GX85?

I got the Meike EF-RF ND adapter (Meike MK-EFTR-C) which costs €159 / $159. Got some cheap manual Chinese EF primes (35mm f2, 50mm f1.4, 85mm f1.8) for about €100 a piece that were super easy to declick.

Nope! Definitely an 8-bit camera...

I too would love to be back shooting Canon, probably for sentimental reasons. But I highly doubt you'd be able to do this. Useful basic features, if present at all, like histogram and audio meters will probably also disappear as soon as you hit record 😂 Honestly, they should just change their name to "Cannot" and be done with it!

Ah I see. To create Fujifilm Film Simulation LUTs I need to have the camera for 1-2 weeks, and I don't know a single person in my area who owns it. The other thing is that it takes quite a lot of time for me to create these packs so I mainly go for cameras with large user base. In this regard I'm not sure about the F3.

“Hello peeps!”

Another still from some tests with the BMMCC, this time with an Angéniux 17.5-70mm zoom (Super 16, PL mount). I love this lens but it has by far the most extreme focus breathing of any lens I've used...kind of amazing it was sold as a cinema lens.

Great little edit. Film emulation is on-point too - great stuff!

Me, or the OP? I liked his grade too. For mine, it looked terrible OOC -- it always does with this camera. I just tweaked it until I got something I liked. I think I used FilmConvert on this (probably the second Vision3 option). Heavy grain does wonders to cover up an image that's been pushed beyond its comfort zone. And then I think maybe some flicker and film dust over top to help cover it up even more? I'm pretty sure that was it.

Great to see another FZ47 video! I like your treatment of the footage a lot. It looks different than just about everything else (obviously CMOS cameras, but it also stands apart from any of the HVX/ZIU/etc crowd too). Here's an earlier edit without Topaz: The image quality is riddled with problems, but I still find myself drawn to it. I agree with @PannySVHS; the video on this camera would have been a much more compelling feature with a higher bitrate. I wish this camera had been one of the Lumix bodies to be hacked back in the day.

Thanks for posting. Would love this CCD magic combined with a 100mbit HD codec. Here is one from @QuickHitRecord . I love how motion looks like. Maybe it is due to that footage was rendered and upscaled with Topaz, as written in the description. Like the colours as well.

Let me rephrase: C-Log2 requires learning to colour grade in order to get a good grade in terms of highlight rolloff and dynamic range as well as the final output S-Log2 requires learning to colour grade in order to get a good grade in terms of highlight rolloff and dynamic range as well as the final output S-Log3 requires learning to colour grade in order to get a good grade in terms of highlight rolloff and dynamic range as well as the final output The reason that I say this is that if you know even the basics of how to colour grade then they are essentially interchangeable, in terms of getting "a good grade in terms of highlight rolloff and dynamic range as well as the final output", and if you don't know how to colour grade then you won't be able to get "a good grade in terms of highlight rolloff and dynamic range as well as the final output". Remember how I said in the "please tell me what camera to buy so I won't have to learn how to colour grade" thread that you keep asking the same question over and over but just using different words? Well, this is another example of that.

Here is the full edited/graded version. https://www.dropbox.com/s/4mjsfrmeukttncp/bday-film.mov?dl=0 Be sure to download as it plays lower quality through Dropbox. Would love some honest feedback and thoughts on the grading and if the look reminds you of film at all.
