@andavalb Жыл бұрын

Hi Joe. Coming from the ZV-E10 world, locking in shutter, aperture AND iso then using ND filters is a counter-intuitive way of working. Outside on a day where clouds come and go, are you spending more time swapping NDs than shooting? Is the slog exposure latitude so wide that a single ND nearer the correct expose good enough? Do you need variable NDs or magnetic ones for quick swaps? Do you ditch using lens hoods because you are forever swapping filters? Do you expose correctly via zebras (joel famularo) or overexpose (gerald undone) A video on how us ZV-E10 users that don’t shoot in a controlled studio setup get the best from a camera that everyone else says to treat like you are in a studio would be really helpful. Otherwise, I expect it would be easy to get disappointed and just stay with s-cinetone and auto iso.

@thefilmalliance Жыл бұрын

Thanks for those kind words and encouragement. Yes I agree. I feel like cameras are advancing faster than our computers. Too many times I get home and can’t even watch or playback my footage because it’s too choppy. And I just bought my computer two years ago. So I guess we just have to keep on investing money. What cameras do you have?

@acepilot2067 Жыл бұрын

I mainly use my gh5m2 although the 10 bit 4.2.2 needs transcoding before I can watch it, so I end up using 4k at 8 bit so my pc can keep up ( its an intel i7 so not a slow machine at all). I'd consider a FX30 but would worry if I could the best out of it without spending a fortune on computer upgrades. Thanks for replying 👍
