Settings for my Nx1

[hugo_lennart]

Hello,

does any one have special settings for the nx1 like (lowlight, highdinamic range, low noice) it would help me very much. Should you over expose the footage of the nx1 or under?

Thanks in advanced felix

I use Gamma DR and set the RGB sliders to 1.88, 1.85, and 1.95. I pretty much leave them there always, seems to get me the results I want. It's important to either white balance to a known setting (such as Daylight) or to a greycard exposed exactly in the middle, otherwise the white balance is very bad. I tend to underexpose just a little, as I find that the color response is better on the low end vs the high end of the range.

Thanks do you push the sharpnes down like -10

Sharpness -7, Contrast -8. I use the full 0-255 range with the master black level at 0.

Shouldn't contrast be adjusted according to how flat the actual lighting is?

@Mokara I will change camera settings sometimes for a specific creative look, but 95% of the time I keep them locked as above because I'm confident with how that will look in relationship to what the real world lighting looks like, and I'm comfortable grading that image. Being familiar with the specific image removes the need for expensive color-calibrated monitors on set, since you know in your head what it will look like. If I want the look to change, I adjust lighting.
