Sony has just released V2.00 firmware for the FX6 and it transforms the camera from good to great. Find out why in my very in-depth review. There is a big chunk of this video dedicated to explaining how to get the best results from the Sony autofocus system.

I love my FX6! Was well worth the wait! As was another one of your stellar reviews! Thanks so much for all your time and effort that goes into these! The only thing I wish Sony would change now with the FX6 is to not bake in LUTs when shooting in custom mode, but would allow you to monitor a LUT-much like when in CineEI mode. For the instances when I have to shoot in custom and may not be going into a raw recorder but need log

@philipbloom 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you. Yeah it’s weird quirk. Part of the reason I always use an external monitor or EVF. You can of course shoot in Cine EI with an MLUT, then you can see your exposure and it’s no different adding gain in post to the cameras doing it for you in custom.

I've sent some coffees to help get you through the (no doubt) endless list of videos to make. I'm especially looking forward to your Xperia Pro-I review and how the hell to get 50fps out it to match the FX6 because I've failed. It's either that or we all give up and shoot NTSC frame rates .... the horror!

I second shoot weddings sometimes and hear over and over "How do you keep locked onto your subjects? My other second shooters using Sony the focus jumps around". I just tell them "Manual autofocusing". Ever since Philip first used the term (probably on the FX9 review) I've adopted it both into how I explain autofocus, and more importantly in how I use autofocus. It's very rare I miss autofocus except in extreme low light or if people are constantly crossing in front of my subject. Those are the situations I've flip back to manual in, but 95% of my event work and even typical corporate work is in Autofocus on my FX3. If the FX6 ever becomes easier to get ahold of I'm sure I'll be picking one up...maybe in 2025? lol.

C70 just looks better for client work and has a film image that we use a lot. I am interested about the R5c. The company I work for is thinking about getting the R5c as well.

I have been wanting all camera manufactures to include some kind of solution for 'On Screen Display' options. Rather than havre to remove or add back each setting individually they need to make cutomizable user or numbered settings (eg Screen Display 1, 2, 3, 4) option. That way you customize different versions, store them and select which one you would like to use, so that the Display Button references that user option. Similar to selecting Zebra 1 or 2. Seems like a very easy fix. I suppose you might be able to achieve this by saving your user settings I haven't tried yet. (Also word of advice: back up your user settings to your SD Card). Would also be nice to have the option of on screen display information to be top and bottom of the screen like the Canon C300 Mark II.
