  1. To compensate from the resolution loss from debayering you would need to oversample from 8K to 4K perfectly like the F65. Anyone got a spare $300,000?
  2. It has 'something'. No matter what the politics. There's Trump's gold elevator. And there's California's new age videos. The US really is different to the rest of the world.
  3. I now watch this video at the start of every day to put me in a calm, meditative state.
  4. Standard Panasonic picture profiles are not designed to turn into 'flat mode' and if you dial down contrast this might give the appearance of more dynamic range (as the lows get a lift) but actually it does nothing to increase the dynamic range of the final graded material. You're just crushing the blacks back down again in post and reducing the tonality of the image in-camera, less colour information due to less contrast in an 8bit image.
  5. Well since the E-M1 II already oversamples from 5K and is very very close indeed to the A6300's 4K the answer is yes. GH5 will have a flood of high detail. I long since stopped caring about the sharpness of 4K though. More sharpness is the last thing we need. 10bit, dynamic range, colour, less aliasing, less moire, less rolling shutter are all more important when it comes to 4K, which already has too much detail according to most of the cinema audience reaction to it being projected.
  6. Looks like you've found the reference image Sony's engineers used for skintones. Maybe Magic Lantern can hack the pizza and reverse engineer the cheese to make it look more appetising? Then Sony can take delivery from the pizza boy and start all over again.
  7. I am impressed with how little rolling shutter it seems to have in 4K. A much better option than a Sony A6500 for handheld shooting, I think.
  8. Interesting the 5DS and 5DIV are on there. ML isn't The 5DS actually shoots quite nice 1080p. It will be a contender if they end up porting ML RAW to it.
  9. He has $100k and he thinks my C-LOG profile is too expensive at $15. And then he expects help from my forum.
  10. I think he should spend it on a green and yellow spinach & mozzarella. Tomatoes probably too magenta for him.
  11. Jesus christ, some people are so cheap. When Sony first introduced S-LOG they charged something like $5000 for it. And you think $10 is too much. Go spend it on a pizza instead fat boy!!
  12. IBIS moves the sensor and if the lens is close to vignetting on your A7S II, as the sensor moves the vignetting will move as well. So maybe try a longer lens with the anamorphic. And be careful to dial in the right focal length. This might be the source of the problem actually as an anamorphic changes the field of view only horizontally, and the camera won't expect that. If you have the IBIS focal length set to 75mm, try a wider setting such as 50mm.
  13. Yes but a couple of dusk shots I had to go to 8000K with (on both) You can leave it on AWB if you like and still use the EOSHD Pro Color profile just fine, it's just I don't trust AWB do always do the right thing or give me the optimal tones. Plus nice to have control especially indoors to warm or cool the image in-camera.
  14. Yes that looks pretty accurate. Fixed the sound cutting off half way through the video -
  15. I got to play with the new Olympus E-M1 II today, a pro Micro Four Thirds camera they hope will sell for $2000. It certainly pulls out all the stops to imitate a miniature 1D X Mark II. This camera does NOT crop the sensor in 4K mode like the GH4. Instead, it over-samples from 5K down to 4K, using the full width of the sensor even with sensor-shift 5 axis stabilisation enabled. Featuring a 237Mbit codec, the image quality in Cinema 4K mode is outstanding with very little rolling shutter. Read the full article
  16. Fucking YouTube. Reuploading AGAIN!!
  17. For those asking for sample videos - http://www.eoshd.com/2016/11/eoshd-pro-color-samples-shot-sony-a7s-ii/ Even I am surprised how well it held up.
  18. Fine on the a7S. The oldest camera, the A7 doesn't have Picture Profile support though does it.
  19. I expect it would work in Picture Profiles but how about the custom white balance settings? Do you want to beta test it on your X70 for free? Davey - no it is not just about SLOG, it is also a REC 709 fix for colour straight out of the camera. Much more Canon like and it solves lots of other stuff as well like the blue highlights freaking out, clipping and the horrible yellow cast to night shots. Examples coming soon... difference is big!!
  20. EOS Utility 3 works with all the new cameras. Just make sure the Movie/Stills switch is in the Stills position when you connect the camera over USB.
  21. I think this was the case with the IV as well. In fact RX1000 series has for a long time done a full pixel readout from the 20MP sensor, even for 1080p. I call that 'oversampling'. There's still a slight crop in 4K mode compared to full sensor width too, no? From what I have heard... I have not yet tried the camera and not sure I will bother. Unlikely AF system contributes to heat New sensor and more DRAM on the back, maybe. The other Sony cameras do that too. Super annoying as it means you can barely see the screen at all in direct sunlight. They should have put the whole thing in a slightly larger LX100 style body with larger battery. Does it really need to be so small and fiddly... NO. Or maybe in a new model 4 months later. GRRRR
  22. Same problem in Britain with Boris. A blithering idiot who one week says the UK should leave the EU because it's bad for our country, then on a visit to Turkey the next week campaigns for the Turkish to join the EU because it would be good for them to do so. So if it is good for Turkey, why is it not good for the UK? And does he realise that when he campaigned for Brexit and won, most of the advocates for leaving simply ran away from the situation, leaving the remain politicians to step up and deliver on their impossibly complicated campaign promises such as remaining in a customs union with the EU whilst being outside the free market and freedom of movement. It's fucking ridiculous and it's time people learned to recognise a con when they see one, recognise what is a feel-good conspiracy and what is a difficult fact to swallow, get acquainted with reality and vote based on facts not feelings.
  23. No, I am not saying I don't believe him. I know and respect Simon as a friend and regular on the EOSHD forums. But not everybody's experience in Syria is representative of what is happening to the country as a whole. You have to look at the larger, geopolitical picture and try to save as many people as possible. If the mistake the US and UK made was to arm the opposition on the ground to the regime in Syria, causing a civil war, and Putin's airstrikes attempted to strengthen the regime, it's still fighting, it's still bombing, it's still an escalation of war and civilian death tolls. The US and Obama armed the opposition forces and civilians because they didn't want US troops on the ground. That's a strategy I can appreciate because US boots on the ground was a disaster for Iraq and Afghanistan. Really, what choice did Obama have this time? Indeed. I read the NYTimes interview. Very interesting stuff. Trump can say one thing one week, say the opposite the next week, and none of his supporters are worried by this. In fact they're so used to liars in government by now that they're probably completely de-sensitised to it and think it's just plain-speaking. It isn't even the outright lying that bothers me, it's Trump's inconsistency of beliefs... I think it stems from Trump believing whatever is good for him. He doesn't consider a broader picture. He does what is good for Trump, facts be damned. It's why he repeats sentences so often. If you repeat it, it feels true.
  24. Strange, hope you get it to work as expected. I don't think the sensor or image processor is radically different to before, more RAM on the back of the stacked sensor perhaps so maybe that is causing more heat? But it shouldn't be doing what you claim it is.
