At 1:40 in your video, did you bloom the highlights in Davinci? The highlights look clipped but not destructing. I’d like to start using Nikon Flat on my Z6 more often, as I don’t want to keep rigging out an external recorder all the time. I know highlights will inevitably clip, but my hope is even if my sky is completely blown out, I can bloom either via Davinci or using a promist filter, so it still looks attractive and not harsh.

Wow the XH2S DR looks insane

I mean uncompressed raw

Looks like it’s a no go then.

Well I found another guy who did it; this person figured out how to make the settings persistant. I'm annoyed though; he won't just release the instructions for us all to know. We have to email him, and from the look of the comments it looks like very few people actually received this file sadly.

I honestly wish camera hacking could return to what it once was. Just imagine, if people could crack into the firmware of modern cameras with their fast SD/CFExpress interfaces, we could have beautiful uncompressed RAW video on all sorts of cameras, instead of either having to deal with external recording crap, or paying a premium for a Canon R5 or Nikon Z9 to get internal RAW, or settling for something like a Sigma FP but then lose autofocus, image stabilization, etc.

Yeah I can’t tell, nor do I know how to execute their script

Sounds like an awesome buy, though even with it’s CINE features, a bit hard to justify givin you can get a similar, full-frame image out of the A7IV for the same price.

Looks like nobody really saw this video. I don’t know everything being done here, but it appears some sort of a script or text string value was created that enables the Nikon Z6 RAW update without needing to physically send in the camera to Nikon. Anyone have info about this? I don’t see a trace of this on the mentioned website.

Indeed, very underrated. And for those who are cool with 1080p it does so internally, in 10 bit color. No bulky rigging needed. I think the 1080 may be oversampled.

I mean if you buy RSMB and have time to kill waiting for motion blur to render, you can just add it in via post. Also gives you the option to use a higher shutter speed as a “built-in variable ND filter”

This sucks

I mean as far as Davinci resolve. Do I use the global HDR slider, matching the color space/gamma settings to my log curve of choice? And then how do I adjust the white balance accurately?

Cool. How should I go about obtaining these proper controls?

Good to hear. My thinking is the hope to shoot Prores raw on my Nikon Z6, then convert to uncompressed CDNG using RAW Convertor for Mac. Do you think the grading experience and flexibility will be similar to say uncompressed CDNG on the sigma FP? I know Prores RAW on the Z6 is line skipped but I doubt that’s much of a real-world issue aside from increased noise at high ISO. Plus I doubt the moire issues will even be very visible on much of my footage.

Wow, you have some nice work on your Vimeo channel! Did you shoot this with a 5d III in ML RAW? https://vimeo.com/81609980

I’m impressed by the above example. The highlight rolloff looks insanely smooth given there is no VLOG. Andrew, does HLG work in the 5k mode?

The freaking mojo

Yeah I’ve seen EM1X’s going for around $1000 US. Crazy good deal, very interesting alternative to a used GH5

Yes this app does exist and will perform the conversion. The video goes into detail.

From what I’ve gathered, unlike BRAW, while Prores RAW is compressed RAW, it is still undebayered Linear data. So it’s closer to CinemaDNG than us BRAW. This also explains why a CDNG conversion is possible.

yes, you can use Raw Convertor, costs $70 per camera license, is MacOS only but you can convert to uncompressed or compressed Cinema DNG

I’m hoping Prores RAW is close enough, because I’m most likely getting the Z6 PRR upgrade, will shoot Prores RAW HQ and then convert to Cinema Dng, hoping to get a similar level of organic mojo and grading flexibility.

Yeah my bad, I made the OG post and then noticed the link didn’t embed. Also forgot you are selling, my bad! I don’t have a problem if you delete these posts, was just trying to point out the prices are nuts.

Agreed, same with cinema dng finally being manageable just as everyone moved away from it 😂
