Apologies if this has been covered here... I searched but wasn't able to come up with anything. So here goes...
The scene:
Was shooting a scene with two actors sitting near an open front cafe that looked out onto the street. The actors were catching direct sunlight, cutting them out nicely against a heavily shadowed or essentially black cafe interior... people walking by and traffic and taxi's passing in front of the cafe cutting across the frame gave it some movement.
The issue:
Viewing the LCD monitor everything looked fine... but when I was reviewing the scene on the EVF - I noticed lots of swimming green and red noise in the heavy shadow area behind the actors - in the darkened cafe background. In fact any area that was heavily shadowed show this type of noise.
It didn't show up on the LCD and it also didn't show up in the final footage when taken off the drive and viewed on the Mac.
Is this just inherent in the RED EVF?
Is there some issue with how the EVF deals with high contrast scenes?
I've noticed it in several other set ups with similar high contrast ratios as well.
It didn't effect the final footage but just got me to wondering if it can be changed or fixed either with the EVF or with some adjustment on the RED itself?
Any input is appreciated.
cheers,
Luc
