Hi folks,

Recently I shooted some training seminar for some companies.
they had a large projectors screen and ambient lights.

I shoot on PAL system 50Hz. camera setting(PAL, 1/50 shutter speed) but the projector screen just keep flickering

anyway to avoid the projector to being flicker?
I know highend pro cam has features that fix this, but does ML can do some tricks here?

I did played with the camera setting trying to fix that.
here is what I did:
-I tried using difference shutter speed, nothing helps here.
-then I changed to the NTSC in camera, fixed the flickering. BUT I did not shoot on NTSC at the end, because I am not sure that I will get the ambient lights (50hz) banding at the end. I cannot risk for this. it will completely ruined all my shoot

so anyone can give me some opinion what should I do, beside getting a pro cams?

Thank you!

Hi guys,

I have been using a 32GB sandisk Extreme 60MB/s (rated 40MB/s write speed)
the speed is very consistent on this card, always run @37-39MB/s when i doing RAW on my 6D.

recently I bought another 3x of the same card..... guess what?
All of it only run @27MB/s...... how is it possible? (cut my RAW duration almost half...... /sign!)
anyone have this problems?

Hi guys,

I am kind of curious any of you does shoot RAW in crop mode?
How to do the perfect framing?

I am using 6D right now.
I have a big downtime trying to figured how to  do the framing in 5x zoom.

Anyone mind to share some tips?
Thanks!

Hi guys.

I am shooting wedding videos/photo mostly.

current setup was 6D + 550D combo

but I dislike the H264 compression when shooting a wide shoot with my Tokina 11-16.
It just too soft no matter what i did. (sharpening it in post, It just gave me a "cheap look" that i dont like)

now I am almost have a budget to upgrade my 6D to mkIII or a GH4

anyone can give some advise?

for mkIII: I like the image quality from raw, but longer processing time(might be trouble for SDE)
for GH4: I never try 4k yet, will the 4k h264 8bit  footage downscale to 1080, will give me a sharp wide shoot like the mkIII raw?

note: I can get sharp wide shoot using my 6D raw@1600 and upscale to 1080 (it still look ALOT better than the H264)
but the downside is, when you shoot wedding a 6-9sec raw is not long enough to cover the shoot I need, I will end up missing the shoot


Thanks!

hi guys,

I am soon starting my wedding filming soon, so I am prepare all the gears/skills that i needed right now.

I shoot @25 1080p 2.39

Do i need to use FPS override function if i shoot Raw/Mlv?
Whats is the benefits by using it?
(by reading the sticky "How to record: -- 30/24/25 fps RAW VIDEO ON 5D3 & others --" thread it says best to set Canon setting to 1080 30p then adjust FPS override to 25p? even shooting @25p?)
I am very confuse at this, hope someone can lights me up


thanks.

Hi guys. I seem cannot find anyone having this problem but me?

I have 550d and it doesn't lag when I have the same global draw setting. Very smooth when recording too.
Buy my 6D is too laggy, even not recording.
I only get like 10fps. Very hard to do recording.

global draw setting:
Focus peak
Histogram
Zebras
Spot meter
Cropmarks

Disabled focus peak seems to reduced the lag.
Why is the 550D way better than the expensive 6D?

Okie hi folks,

as title do you notices there is a difference between these 2 programs when you grading your footage using cinestyle profile?

recently i got into shooting weddings video with my T2i, when i grade the footage inside AE there is color banding everywhere..... (am i doing it wrong?)
I scratch my head until this week i gave nuke a try.... and boom!
u can really push the 8bits footage to VERY far compared to AE. especially skies and skintone..... theres no banding showing up in nuke.
even if u push it to extreme it will shows some banding... its very impressive for me so far (guess thats why its so expensive......)

Here is the example:
Nuke graded-- looks clean

AE graded-- banding apear ;(

Nuke push to extreme

AE push to extreme

Whats your thought?
