@skepsys Жыл бұрын

useful info. a trick i found out about is to zoom in with your lens (or use clearimage, digital zoom, something "in-camera/lens") so that the screen shows mostly the face/skin, and that way you can see better how the waveform/vectorscope looks mainly on the face/skin. zoomed in (and this way, you dont have to get physically closer to the subject), now even the in-camera meter might be more reliable, because you've isolated mainly the subject.

Why does the image from the actual camera that you show on screen look so much darker than what you're seeing on the Shenobi monitor? Even when you showed the "original log" on the Shenobi, that is much more brighter than even the LUT you use, which are all still much brighter than the actual camera's image. Another related question: Is the waveform and other information being dialed in to the monitor's image or the actual camera's image? I'm a little confused by the fact that there's a difference. Why not just view the camera's actual image that it's recording and dial that in?

@joseluisruiz3789 2 жыл бұрын

So when you use this monitor with a camera via HDMI do the settings in the external monitor affect how your image looks when you are recoding from the camera? I apologize for asking, this is new to me as I just ordered a Sony A7IV as my first ever legit camera and want to get a larger external monitor to see what I am recording better. Thanks for your time.

Hello I am subscribed and I'm in the market for a monitor. I'm using my Sony NX5U video camera. With my declining eyesight I need something larger than the little flip out screen that's on there. 7-in monitor will be fine. What I need more than anything is the monitor to view the camera settings. When I pull up the camera's menu. We recommend one that will do that for me. Thanks. Keith

Yes there is grid/safty lines on the Atomos Shinobi. According to the manual the monitor has Safe Areas, Action area and title safe areas displayed, and Cinema Guides, Cine or TV frame guides. The Safe Area/Grid Lines will still be visible when tapping the center of the screen to hide the overlays.
