Thanks ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted October 28, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted October 28, 2019 I am happy to stick to 8bit internal 4K RAW. Why raise the shadows so much? Depends on the grade but I am not usually aiming for the "HDR sick" look 18 minutes ago, jase said: Interesting, so you would not agree with Cinema5D telling that MOV is somehow crippled to 8 stops? I doubt it is only 8 stops in the MOV files, but not seen their review so can't comment. Measure your dynamic range after grading. That's what the audience sees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars Steenhoff Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Thanks they look nice, when comparing to the 4k, keep in mind the iso on the 4k is 640 and on the 1080 its iso 1250 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted October 28, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted October 28, 2019 Good point. Not a scientific test, just booting these frames out there. Needless to say, downscaling 4K CDNG 8bit in post to 1080p or 2.8K should result in less noise and cleaner shadows than the pixel binned 1080p CDNG internal 8bit, and maybe even 10bit.

Rob6 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 2 hours ago, Andrew Reid said: Downscales as well. https://www.slimraw.com So 7:1 compressed Cinema DNG at, say, 3.5k is just a transcode away with the Sigma Fp. Going to give it a go. Perhaps I can give you some Cinema DNG frames out of my camera. Here is a 12bit 1080/60p frame off the SD card, and same shot but 8bit 1080/60p to give you an idea of how that holds up. Also included a 4K 8bit shot. I recommend opening in Photoshop, push it around a lot. You will see the difference especially in the shadows. I think this camera is also unique in that it is doing 120fps 1080p in ALL-I. Usually Long-GOP compression is used for high frame rates. By the way the MOV 4K quality is VERY good indeed. They did not compromise on the codec. It's like a pocket S1. Don't think it is doing 10bit MOV H.264 but it looks damn good. PS CDNG 12bit 1080p at 24p = 633Mbit/s CDNG 8bit 1080p at 24p = 422Mbit/s Still quite large. Get the big SDs ready. 4K_8bit_A001_037_20191028_000005.DNG 8.06 MB · 12 downloads 2K_12bit_A001_035_20191028_000005.DNG 3.1 MB · 9 downloads 2K_8bit_A001_036_20191028_000005.DNG 2.09 MB · 6 downloads Thanks Andrew! From what I can tell the 60p looks great as 1080p. Thanks for sharing those! Colors seem nice, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cogitonz Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Does anyone know what the specs are on the video that comes out the HDMI output? I'm wondering how recording to an ATOMOS Ninja would compare quality-wise to recording straight to an SSD. Obviously it is not going to be RAW over the HDMI, but is it limited to just 8bit?

thebrothersthre3 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 This might be my next camera. Would of course be amazing if they can get a compressed RAW in there to save on file sizes. 4:1 would be awesome and 8:1 even better.

Administrators Andrew Reid Posted October 28, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted October 28, 2019 I really rate the Sigma colour profiles. They have carried over some Foveon skills into this image processor. The standard profile looks very natural, and the main thing Vivid does is give you a warmer look, a more Canon-like look - rather than just increasing the saturation of standard. Uniquely you can dial up and down a profile overall from -5 to +5, blending with standard at -5 and increasing the difference at +5 The teal & orange "Hollywood" profile is not overdone and nicer than the cinema profile. The cinema profile suits very specific shots. The T&O looks good on almost everything. Beautiful. Although there is not yet a LOG profile, the Sigma Fp product manager is from Samsung - I don't expect their run of firmware updates to hold back on new features!! NX1 owners will know what I am talking about! The nod to Magic Lantern with 8bit Cinema DNG is as much a statement of intent, as it is a beautiful image. I am in love with this camera. deezid, JJHLH, Lars Steenhoff and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I also am interested in the Pocket 6k, but I don't love the idea of 6k RAW, much rather deal with 1080p or 4k. Blackmagic only offers full sensor 6k though. Also the EF mount sucks. So you need an atomos inferno to record 12 bit DNG? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars Steenhoff Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 No need for an Atomos. Just a usb 3 ssd like a samsung t5 deezid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lars Steenhoff Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Yea just add one of those OLED Small hd and you have a lightweight setup with a great screen. for only 300 dollars at the moment. https://store.smallhd.com/products/FOCUS-OLED/FOCUS-OLED-Micro-HDMI-Monitor And no fan noise like the HDMI recorders have.

True, the only issue I have with monitors is they are bigger than the camera itself, which makes for an awkward setup. Honestly I'd prefer something like a BM Pocket 4k, with the 5 inch screen only a tilting one and brighter. Still the issue of the sucky battery life.

I have many types, but those are my favorites, because I can power other things too http://www.idxtek.com/products/sl-f50 The SmallHD Focus monitors are smaller than most cameras anyway. I use one.

Administrators Andrew Reid Posted October 28, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted October 28, 2019 Hoping Sigma will stick to this form factor, there is something magic about it - but future version does need an EVF and articulating screen, much like the RX1R II managed, in the same small body as the Fp. So it is possible. Oh and phase-detect AF on the sensor please. For first gen model, it is very complete... and I can probably sell my Pocket 4K now as well as the Leica Q. deezid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
