Thank you very much m8. Yes, base ISO is just that, rule of thumb and it's possible to "break" when needed. I feel this is something a lot of people are afraid to do or missunderstand. Think I will do a video about that. Base ISO for CLOG is 400 and 800 for 2 and 3.

Thank you for making this video. FYI, I called Canon and asked specifically about the base ISO when shooting in Log. The Canon technical rep said that there is no base ISO for an R5 or R6. He knows that it exists in other cinematic cameras, but not those. I continue to be confused on this topic.

@persvanstrom Жыл бұрын

Thank you Doug for watching and your comment. I will try to sort this. Base ISO for LOG exists. So for CLOG3 that is 800 and for CLOG(1) that is 400, CLOG2 is also 800. It's just the base. I often shoot ISO400 on CLOG3 when I got enough light as it do give a little less noise. So if you are using CLOG3 in an R6/R5 then the base ISO is in fact 800, but if you are shooting in standard Rec709 or taking photos, then there is no base ISO. Does that clear it up or make it even more confusing? :)

@dougdina Жыл бұрын

@@persvanstrom Thank you for responding and I totally understand what you are saying. However, that is not what the rep at Canon said. They said that the ISO can be whatever you want. I will call them back and ask them again. You were quite clear and , in fact, many videos on KZfaq mention the same thing that you did. But, I was curious and wanted more information, so I called them. So, this is why I’m confused.

@persvanstrom Жыл бұрын

Base ISO isn't a requirement, it's just where it starts. So if we instead replace "Base ISO" with "recommended ISO starting point" it might become more clear? It's not like the camera will break or not work if you choose another ISO, but what it means is that the ISO of a certain LOG, the base ISO, is what will produce, at most circumstances, the cleanest image. A 800 ISO CLOG will be a lot more noisy than a 800 ISO CLOG3 at the exact same settings otherwise as they have different Base ISO's. Thats it! Nothing magic and nothing we, as creators can't break. Your rep is also wrong, cause the LOG has a Base ISO, it's just how the LOG profile works and CLOG is just Canons version of LOG and 3 is just the version of the LOG. Maybe he/she is confusing Base ISO and Native ISO?

Great video Per ! R6 Highly under-rated ! Im having an issue when trying to film 24fps FHD recording on the ninja V. The Ninja wont pick up my camera's frame rate - it picks up fine when filming in 4k . Do you have this issue at all. ? Also on file sizes I've experimented with pro-res LT and 422 and cant tell much difference to HQ Which really cuts down on the storage space. Have you played around and noticed any loss in quality ?

@persvanstrom Жыл бұрын

Thank you very much Justin. I had to run to the studio to test this so sorry for a late response. I couldn't reproduce your error. I tried both starting recording from my camera as well as the Ninja to see if that made any difference but it didn't. When I opened them in Resolve they all said the correct FPS. As I'm Swedish I didn't try 24, but 25 and 50. I got my Camera Output (under Input) set to Log/HDR on. Not sure that would help. If you can't sort it, look me up on Facebook or email me and I can drop a screenshot of all my Ninja and R6 settings if you like. As to your question about LT vs HQ, not much of a difference I agree, but my Drone shoots HQ 444 Prores and my C70 in Long Gop just feels more as a match. TBH, since I got the C70 as an A-cam I only use Ninja when I do client work and then space isn't much of an issue. For personal use I would stay LT :)

@persvanstrom Жыл бұрын

An awesome resultat? Base ISO is just that, base. If you got enough light to pull off a CLOG3 ISO100, go ahead. I would still try to stay 800 or max 400 and rather add more ND to ensure proper exposure and max dynamic range

@jamoolak Жыл бұрын

Thanks man, I appreciate you time. This base-iso-800 thing scared me a lot. I don't do professional works for now (only casual and lazy vlogs), but I still like to keep the balance between the quality of the footage, and the easiness and speed of using the equipments while enjoying my travel. I just needed to hear someone else's opinion that going under base iso is not the end of the world.

@persvanstrom Жыл бұрын

I think a lot of people (me included) when they get started read base, recommendations etc as have-tos. There is only one have-to when making videos for your self, are you happy with them? :) I often break base ISO and somtimes you can even do the opposite and go above 800 of the circumstances require it.

@JanasViLoegg Жыл бұрын

The reason why it is not recommended to go below base ISO is, that it will significantly reduce your dynamic range and crush the details in your shadows. Also it won‘t help with actually clipped highlights, they will still be clipped. That’s because every change from base ISO is basically post-processing exposure editing. It doesn’t influence the amount of light, it just moves a slider, so it can‘t add details in the highlights that aren’t there to begin with. In my experience (with the C300) you often get a better result with adding an ND Filter and going slightly over base ISO, than with removing an ND Filter and going below it. Different cameras with different sensors might behave different tho, and different people might have different preferences and limits for what they still find acceptable. So it’s worth taking your camera, doing some test pictures and working out the ISO range where you feel comfortable with the results.

@persvanstrom Жыл бұрын

Very nice anser and I totally agree. Each situation is usually unique and experience on how to read the situation as well as knowing the gear can make or brake many sessions. I mostly use my C70 now, so with built in ND, it's a different ball game :) Love that camera

Do you mean auto footage as in Rec.709 or no log footage? That shouldn't be so hard as any LOG footage needs to be converted to Rec.709 before you use it anyway, so in fact, log needs to be "auto/normal". Depending on your NLE (editing software) the processes is a little different, but either a conversion LUT or color transformation. Did that explain your question?

It did. I find myself a little torn between choosing CLOG3 or a color profile because I have a real issue with noise in low light using CLOG3 but I have an ever more difficult time with a regular color profile in bright sun. I do use CLOG3 99% of the time and used conversion LUTs but the low light is killing me. The people looked like they were recorded on a 2010 android device

Shutterspeed for Video doesn't work as with photo. It should be set to double your frame rate. For 24/25fps you should have 1/50th. For 60fps - 1/120th. 120fps - 1/240th of a second and so one. Or 180deg shutter angle as it's called on cinema cameras. That means that first you decide your frame rate. Then you set your shutter speed accordingly. Lastly you set your apurture to what look you want. Then you will have to either add light (external video light or sun) or block light (ND filter) to get proper exposure.

Just switch timeline back to 4K before exporting and you got 4K output. As ot switching. between Photo and Video really depends on your situation. Let's say you do event photography and want to also capture some video quickly. Then I would ensure I got the right video settings while in photo mode and just hit record (the red button) when you need video. If you want more deliberate video capture while needing to photograph, it's still better to swtich to video mode as you get more control over your video quality. Then I would prob use C1-C3 for photo settings and just keep turning that dial between photo and video. I should have videos for both Custom Shooting modes (C1-C3) and best video settings.
