Thanks for the info and observations Alex. I found if I left the camera set up and powered on with the lens attached I could swap out the OLPF's within about a minute or so. But yeah, not recommended, especially in a non-controlled environment and if there is time to do it more...

The usual answer is if it's not in the recorded footage, it's just the monitor or the monitor cable, with the more remote possibility that there's a damaged connector on the camera or some internal monitor output component. The fact that it's not in your footage, or your live view either, would...

No worries. It does seem like a more subtle difference between the three OLPF's now. If I remember correctly, the Standard OLPF got overshadowed a bit by the other OLPF's that had more of a noticeable effect on the previously 'normal' image, even though the new 'Standard' OLPF wasn't exactly...

Here's a crappy over-compressed picture of what the actual OLPF's look like btw - And here's a random flower also captured with the Scarlet Dragon, just because - I'm left thinking the (post-Dragon sensor) introduction of the IPP2 workflow, especially with REDWideGamutRGB/Log3G10 (which...

So, curiosity got the better of me and I had a look for myself at the SkinTone-Highlight, Standard and Low-Light-Optimized OLPF's with the Dragon sensor. This wasn't a scientific test, but it was pretty well-controlled. Same camera and lens, same lights, adjusted the exposures by changing the...

The pro's and con's of the Lowlight, Standard and Skintone-Highlight OLPF's are pretty straightforward in terms of how they filter the light hitting the sensor. Using the same amount of light - The Standard OLPF distributes the light in a similar way to the Dragon sensor itself, balancing...

Well if it comes to that, maybe Nikon themselves could cinevise some of their own Large Format Nikkor lenses to pair with their 24K Komodo's and 32K Raptors.

Hmmm... V-Raptor s35 - 8K 17:9 Format Size = 26.21x13.82mm (29.63mm image circle) Format Resolution = 8192x4320 (35.39 megapixels) Max Data Rates Up to 800 MB/s Multiplied x4 - V-Raptor LF - 32K 17:9 Format Size = 104.84x55.28mm (118.52mm image circle) Format Resolution = 32768x17280(566.23...

Yeah, thanks Phil for describing the different factors involved in the causing of the sensor-reflection effect. I misuderstood the reply from Canon to be confirming the effect can be avoided by shooting in stills instead of video mode, like was stated in the first post. But they're just...

I can't think of an optical reason for a difference either. I think they might just mean the effect is more likely to be noticed when an image is in motion than when it's a static still shot, and perhaps could be conssidered less of a problem if it can be more easily dealt with by changing the...

They could both work with the Dragon S35 sensor. It's more about the size of the front of the lens you want the filter to cover, and the way you want to mount the filter in front of the lens. The rectangular filters are more of a standard for the traditionally more rectangular frames of the...

If you keep the light levels the same for 24fps as 12fps (using a 24fps project base rate), then yes you'll be shooting 1 stop underexposed and so you'll get more noise. There shouldn't be any differences just based purely on your frame-rate though, if your exposure is adjusted and you're...

Congrats Phil for having your LUTs cross over like that. Thanks to Scott for such a clear and well made demonstration of the LUTs on the different camera's and to Brian for bringing it to my attention. I see this interim measure to help the looks of the Nikon and RED camera's match as a good...

Thanks for your feedback to my feedback, knowing what the creators intentions were helps make sense of the results. I was aware of that recent situation with the humans being passed off as AI but didn't make the connection you were making, that's not to say others might not have though, it...

Hi Michael. I thought it was a good video overall, but I did find it a bit confusing, and didn't really know what I was watching, especially at the start. Which was partly because the LAIKA-woof character was so convincing and well-played, I thought she might have been a real Youtube...

As a potential consumer and not an engineer who has to come up with the technological solution or the businesss-person who has to try to make the numbers add up, I'm not really interested in either/or, I want both. So much dynamic range I never have to even think about using ND again. Have...

I could be wrong, but I just don't think it is actually economically viable to make new media for the discontinued RED camera's. I'm assuming the 480GB RED MiniMags RED are still selling for the old prices are old 'new' stock from pre-DSMC3 days, so they're not even really making the things any...

No worries, thanks for letting me know it made sense.

Using seatbelts and positioning the camera with an awareness of the force that can be applied by airbags deploying seems like a reasonable approach to filming hand-held under normal driving conditions. Got nothing against Sony or their cameras, even if they're not my products of choice. But as...

I guess if the driver promises not to crash or be crashed into I can promise them I won't let the camera smash into the back of their head. But seriously, I can remember doing those front-passenger and rear-seat hand-held shots with about 10kg of camera and being vaguely aware of how...
