I was limited by the speed of my card so I could not record any higher than I did. What I meant by full hd is the ability to record continuously, not super short clips. I based that statement off this chart: but things move very fast in magic lantern so maybe with the mlv format the capacities have been extended

"I think people might get a little surprised at how fast it runs out of shadow room though." LOL I was already surprised at how fast the bmcc 2k runs out of shadow room to begin with. The original 2k camera needs a TON of light to produce a decent image. Which is one of the major factor of discerning between good and bad camera, any camera produces a good image with a ton of light. And now it is even worse? no thanks.

Thanks, I'm not the one to ask for magiclantern workflows as I have only used it once in that vid. But I can tell you that the new .mlv module is very handy. You can preview your files in camera and watch them on your computer with the mlv player. So that is a big improvement over the old .raw format. http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=7122.0 Regarding post-production workflow I always use the same. I have a creative cloud subscription so I always use; premiere, speedgrade, and after effects.

"Uncompressed 10bit 4K via 3gsdi" YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

yay can't wait! better not disappoint like the gh3

so much this.

Just shot this with the mark 2 raw at high iso, quality is pretty good: According to magic lantern forums, the 5d mark 3 is the way to go for shooting raw though. It has better low light performance, and it can shoot full hd when the mark 2 cannot. The only reason I used the mark 2 here is because it was what was available to me. Really interested to try the raw on the mark 3, must be pretty amazing. I don't see any reason why the mark 2 footage would look better, actually I assume it must be the opposite.

waiting on the official specs and sample footage before I get excited. But I do have high hopes for this camera and one of them is connecting it to an odyssey 7q and recording 4k 10bit. Hopefuly that will be possible

Here you go, best explanation with examples. You can hover over the buttons to see the changes in shutter speed. http://www.red.com/learn/red-101/shutter-angle-tutorial

very interested in this. hopefully it will be the worthy successor of the gh2

Thanks for the kind words. If nobody is interested I will sell everything individually on eBay and most likely make more money. But I would rather have a member here get creative with it and share his work :-)

Hello everyone, I am selling the following set, everything is in great condition, no fungus or scratches on the glass, minimal dust. I have not started an ebay auction as of now, as I would rather have a member here enjoy this set. ;-) - bolex 16f with original packaging - Tokina 0.4 achromat diopter 72mm - Sigma 72mm close up - redstan metal clamps 72mm front thread Included for free: - 2 adapter rings, 67-58 and 58-52 - Vivitar series 1 82 mm diopter set of 4 - toolbox suitcase for protection upon shipping Movies I have shot with this setup on the gh2:

looking forward to your tests! Thinking about getting the sigma 18-35 as well.

very very cool. great work once again

Axel have you seen this? Raw appears to have a significant image quality increase but comes with severe moire.

Sounds very odd to me as the crop factor records only from the best, sharpest, and brightest part of the lens.

I've skipped through the couple articles about this camera and I feel you are wrongly judging this camera Andrew.   I feel you are acting and over analyzing this as if it is the latest and best camera from Nikon and represents the future or direction the brand wants to go in.   But it is not.   It is a specialized camera targeted at a specific nostalgic type of consumers that can afford it.  A side "cool" "retro" camera so to speak.   And it is a retro camera, so obviously it will be retro in terms of features and by definition does not represent the future.  

  the playstation 4 comes out next month and plays 4k footage.   Things should move fast from there regarding 4k content.   4k tvs have already dropped under the 1k price tag.   4k is coming fast

This thread is not about the pocket camera. It's about the bmcc 2k. On the bmcc the gain in quality is significant using this technique, so much that the over exposure till zebra approach is recommended on the bmcc user forum. And the blown issue is significant as well, and the proposed work around is from the official bmcc user forum as well. So it is a real issue that needs to be addressed, and it has been, with the workaround, to some extent. Hopefully on the pocket it is not the case. It seems from your post that it is not, which is great news. But we would have to wait for the raw recording feature to find out.

What he did was actually completely correct. He recorded footage and adjusted the exposure based on the histogram. Which would have gotten him the cleanest image possible on any camera. But since the bmcc both visual and histogram feedback is inaccurate and you should use the zebras to adjust your exposure, the recorded footage he got was under exposed. To bring it back up to correctly exposed he had to up the iso of the footage in post. And when you boost an electronic signal in post what does it introduce? see his reply>

I was hoping this was not affecting the bmpcc as it is a completely different camera. But it has the same issue? Absolutely not. This is a bug, it is not normal. You will not have this behavior on any other camera. The theory behind ettr, exposing to the right, is the following: - under exposure leads to noise - over exposure leads to clipped highlights So how can you achieve the least amount of noise but by still preserve your highlights? You expose to the right, meaning you allow as much light as possible just under the point of clipping your highlights. This allows for your shadows to have the least amount of noise while preserving highlight information. So the monitor feedback you get from this, and the histogram/vectorscope feedback is not over exposed. Unlike on the bmcc. As I have said before, what they call "ettr" on the bmcc should be called "over expose until you hit zebras because your monitor feedback and vectorscope is wrong"

updated original post with proposed work around btw Axel did Tom provide the increment amount in iso reduction needed to exactly counter the displayed over exposure?

Very nice Axel :-) And it makes complete sense doesn't it? Since iso bumping with digital cameras is an electronic boost of the recorded signal that introduced noise, if that was baked in the recorded footage and not written alongside in the metadata, we would not have a raw file anymore, would we? Clever trick by Tom. thanks for the research

the gear is quality and the man is very knowledgeable, explained a great deal to me, chatted on the phone.   apparently had quite a bit of issues with different customers throughout the years so he is not the easiest person to do business with.
