Like you, I also use the BMD for church, both 4k and 6k. (2.5k now sits idle). Thanks for your tips, enthusiastically presented!

@AlexNejera 4 жыл бұрын

but is it really better than doing it yourself? what about tint? i'm asking for mine because i've been led to believe auto WB is bad and unprofessional.

@Gratefulspleen 4 жыл бұрын

@@AlexNejera I'm thinking that you've been told that continuous auto WB is bad, because it is. If you have a white card, use the afore mentioned "press and hold technique", and you're shooting BM-RAW (you can easily tweak the WB later if it need be), you should get pretty decent results. I still use a color meter when time allows though, because measuring will always beat guessing.

Thanks so much for the tips! One simple tutorial I have not found online is just a practical check list or steps of what one might do right on set when doing a shoot specific to camera work. For example, 1. set frame rate 2. Set camera at right distance 3. check audio 4. set white balance 5. set exposure 6. set focus 7. "rolling?" ??? I think I know how to set up, but wonder if I might be missing something.

I leave zebras on. I always want to know if something is blown. I have a thirds grid left on in fine black lines. It doesn’t intrude and is an elegant assistance tool. The three custom buttons on top I set to the things I need for nailing focus. Button 1, punch in and out Button 2, focus peaking toggle Button 3, LUT toggle This way, zoom in, focus close, turn off LUT if peaking is not clear - all together in a logical row. Really fast. Do not need to shift grip to run through a pre-record check. Sometimes I change LUT toggle to false colour. Also I shoot a lot using Pro-res so I can access crop-less shooting at all the different resolutions. Turning the camera on and off a lot means it sometimes forgets the sensor size setting. Leaving the record screen on its second page makes that easy to check with the menu button on the top right corner of the screen. I have presets for all the resolutions written in a kind of short hand. 2K Pro-res 2K Pro-res inside 3K 120 Braw [---] 3K 100 Braw [---] inside 4K Braw [----] The brackets denote the degree of crop. 120 fps for outside, 100 fps for inside lighting under 50 hertz lighting. Its been really useful.

Hi Brandon! Great Review man .. really can see you got flight hours on this camera! I'm actually stalling around the idea of getting a BMPCC4K myself , I'm just a little bit divided between a Panasonic GH5 (more all-round/run&gun/travel/Vlog) and this one (more cinema/set oriented) ...I edit on Davinci btw and for this reason I'm actually getting teased by the idea of a BlackMagic camera where I can store Luts and mark "good takes" and most of everything store programs...WOW! You're almost selling it to me right now!!! Just 3 questions : 1) Does the app allow to have preview of the screen on ipad/phones? 2) How do you manage the absence of image stabilization : do you ever handheld here? 3) What about the super low battery life: are you using a battery pack or smth? Thanks for sharing your passion man!!!

@lazyoverworked 4 жыл бұрын

Let me share my experiences of shooting with the 6k. 1. I don't use the app. 2. If you rig up the camera (cage, monitor, microphone, external battery solution) the extra weight helps with stability. Though IBIS would be nice, but unless you are running around the shake is easily manageable. 3. Battery life does suck, the canon LP battery lasts 20-40 minutes (depends a lot on the brightness and use of the LCD). Spend a bit and use npf battery with adapter plate. Cheaper and lighter than V mount batteries. Though BMPCC is budget friendly, it is a cinematic camera and not a mirrorless/DSLR camera. And if you are used to shooting with a DSLR it will take some adjusting to shoot with the BMPCC. The image quality is amazing for the price. So if you intend to buy this camera for vlogging, action oriented stuff, other stuff where autofocus is important...just stay clear. Not that you cannot do all that with the BMPCC. I have been a Canon user (photography), I already had a plentiful of lenses and batteries, so it saved me a lot of money. Though I still spent money on the cage, external monitor, SSDs, npf battery adapter plate etc. I am using the BMPCC to shoot short documentaries, ads etc. Stuff where I have a lot of control and time, for run and gun like a wedding, vlogging, travel videos I think a mirrorless will do a better job. I have been very happy shooting with my BMPCC 6K! I hope my views are of some help to you.

I've actually trapped the doors on the front side of the camera using the cage, so they don't get in my way. This avoids having to remove them. However, now that I'm using it more on a gimbal, I might just bite the bullet and remove them.

@jaynumber4444 4 жыл бұрын

Albert Oyiana with compatible lenses, there is a “single touch” autofocus. Tap the screen or use the button. It will try to focus where you tap once. That’s it. No continuous autofocus. If you move, it will not track you. The tap to focus hunts a lot and doesn’t work every time. This camera is really designed to be used with manual focus like most cinema cameras. Hope that helps!
