Sigma Fp ALL-I vs IPB - Big difference

The ALL-I codec on this camera is REALLY good.

Maintains a LOT more in the shadows than the Long GOP IPB mode.

It is 400Mbit so quite big files but a lot smaller than RAW at 1800Mbit.

This is one of those occasions where 400Mbit is worth it...

(Shadows pushed up approx. 3 stops in Resolve)

Just ran my own test, because I never used the ALL-I codec before. Lens was an adapted Nikkor 24mm/f2 Ai-s.

Framegrab from the UHD 23.98p ALL-I mov recording:

Framegrab from the UHD 23.98p CinemaDNG recording, same lens, graded in Resolve 16 to match the h264 image (roughly), sharpness parameter in the RAW setting left at default value 10:

What I don't like in the ALL-I mov are the pronounced sharpening artefacts (including halos) - although I had dialled down in-camera sharpening to the lowest possible value.

On top of that, the ALL-I image is much more saturated and contrasty, although I used identical picture profiles on both recordings.

ffprobe says that the ALL-I video is 8bit Rec709 4:2:0 with a bitrate of 400Kbit/s.

Try Standard profile -5 (you dial down the entire profile -5 to some kind of baseline)

Then lift the shadows +2 on the custom curve.

Gives you a good flat profile. Anything else too flat will fall apart.

It's a very good image.

They need to fix the flickering black level though.
