how do you acces the quick settings
@VidHeadz10 күн бұрын
You access it by pressing the select button. Then you will see the Blue indicator and you can navigate it with the directional buttons. Once you are on the setting you want then hit the select button again and it will give you the options under that setting on the bottom of the screen. Once you have selected what you want, to back out of the quick menu hit the menu button until the blue indicator is gone. Normally twice. Once to get out the setting options and once more to get out of the quick menu. I hope this helps

For me not being that big of an fan for the form factor of the BMPCC series they may require less rigging. With rigging comes cost. However, like you have just mentioned I have a stage camera, handheld camera, cinema camera, Run & Gun camera, and possibly a drone camera all in one.

It seems like most of the challenges you encountered are due to using a studio camera for the wrong use-case. You acknowledge that this is not the intended use for the camera, but I'm afraid others will miss this point and view these as actual flaws in the design rather than flaws in use. Hopefully, everyone understands that these are designed to be used in the studio, where they would be controlled with an ATEM, etc. Your comments on the image quality may have convinced me to get one, though (for the studio and connected to an ATEM).

@@stevealexander7772 I try my best to make sure people know I'm using this cam outside of it's intended purpose. And you are right the challenges are due to that fact. But I have grown to love this little guy mainly because of the Metabones Speedbooster. It takes it from a 2.121 crop to a 1.35744 crop factor. Gives me a 1 1/3 more stops of light (very significant). Mixed with BRAW and BMD color science this is a winner for me. I plan to make a vid about the ability to have push to autofocus with the Speedbooster. I'm sure in a studio environment it will be excellent as it will be just like the BMPCC4K image wise.

Yes! I preordered the L-mount version back in April. Blackmagic said internal NDs would have added cost, changed the weight, and required a different body design. I'm actually glad they didn't add internal NDs as it allows for more creative freedom with external options. I'll be using the Pyxis with NiSi Athena Primes and the drop-in ND lens blades. FYI: ProRes is not an issue. You can use Fusion Studio with the Saver node to export ProRes. Your Davinci Studio license works with Fusion Studio for free.

Awesome to here. I too pre-ordered back in April and planning to use this cam for my up coming project this year. For me I don't have an issue with ProRes but I know there are peeps out here who care about that type of thing. For my up coming projects I will be editing the footage for the show so there is no worries there. I kind of wish there was ND's though but I do understand your point as to how it would change the camera cost and form factor. I'm looking at these cages that they are coming out with and I have to say I would like to try and rig this cam with out any cage if I can. Some of these cages are looking like over kill. Speaking of Fusion, I'm trying to dive more into fusion these days and right now I'm teaching myself by making my thumbnails in fusion to try and understand how to use the different tools that are offered. The one thing I'm struggling with as I have exclusively switched from Adobe PP to DR. Is transparent mask. It was so easy in PP to use a mask and the Opacity to feather out something and have a track underneath to show through. I have not quite figured that out yet in DR. With that said I no regrets by switching to DR and I love the amount of control it gives me.

I thought I noticed my city in the background. As far as ibis and autofocus are concerned, the people asking for features like this aren't looking for cinema cameras, or at least they shouldn't be.

@VidHeadzАй бұрын
The camera actually shows aperture calculation for the 18-35mm lens. Wide open it shows f1.9 on the G2. However when I mount my Sigma, or Canon full frame lenses it shows the lens aperture but it is obvious that the f stop is wider than the rating on the lens. So I have to apply the calculation myself. I have reached out to BMD about this in an email and they may address this in a firmware update.

I'm sorry you guys are still having problems. The just of it is that the exposure is the key. If your camera is not exposed properly or more specifically under exposed for the the scene then the custom white balance is going to come back green. It is not about Picture Profiles but about the amount of light that is coming into your camera. Try opening the aperture more or raising the iso when custom white balancing and this should fix your problem.
