And most of all, since it's a 6k sensor downsizing the image to a 4k size, THE DETAILS... Just Jaw dropping. So until now it's been a great weapon. Technology moves so fast. It's kinda ridiculous to be working with such a small body. But whatever. I just need to slap a mattebox and a cage, a mic and VOILA! It's client friendly! Good to know, thanks! How accurate is the WB? With some cameras, specifically the G7, even the Kelvin settings felt a little off. Ever since I started shooting Raw, I’ve become spoiled with my post WB options. I just watched one of that Caleb guy’s videos where he rigged out a GH5s. With a battery grip, a cage, a top and side handle, it really added some heft to the camera seemingly making handheld more smooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a continuous gimbal shot where the focus had to change a lot. Probably did the shot 6 times before switching to multi and it nailed it right away. thephoenix 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, so this is still an issue. The guy's conlusion that the shift is caused by less color information in the H265 is off, but I see you already addressed it in the comments.

Yes, but I don't miss 4:2:2 at all with this camera, so I'm not facing issues like this guy does. Just checked the liftgammagain forum and apparently my conclusion was that the latest Resolve & Premiere are fine, there was no difference between in camera and external recordings. But seeing this video this is not true anymore, at least not for the X-T3 & the Ninja V. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X-T3 F-log and film sim files (both H.264/H.265) still have BT.709/601/601 tags. HLG mode however has full BT.2020/HLG/BT.2020 tags. This could affect how the files are decoded.

The magenta banding was horrible on the X-T2, but I didn't see it yet on the X-T3. I remember your post so I know that it's still there, but it might be manageable. Do you have a downloadable MOV with the issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attila Bakos Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 If we assume that the HEVC is displayed correctly, then applying this conversion to the Ninja V Prores file will do the trick: ffmpeg -i input.mov -vf scale=in_color_matrix=bt709:out_color_matrix=bt601 -colorspace bt709 -c:v prores_ks -profile:v 2 -c:a copy output.mov I used level 2 (normal) compression. Use level 3 for HQ. I don't know if you can do this without recompression. Also commented this on youtube. EDIT: There's also an easier fix, download this LUT pack: http://www.pantarheon.org/601vs709luts.zip Then apply Rec601ToRec709.cube on the Ninja footage.

BrunoCH Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 @Attila Bakos It's a little bit off topic but not too much because the XT3 can be powered by Anker batteries. Here is the solution I found to hold my battery: https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B00X752FNA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 + cable tie After just attach it to any monitor or LED holder mount. Curious to know if someone has found another solution? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well - if you like it, it's all yours... So disappointing. Simon Young 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kubrickian Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 These angelbird SD cards look like a great deal for the X-T3 considering the speed. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1452853-REG/angelbird_mp_xt3_128sdv60x2_match_pack_for_fujifilm.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
