    holy shit, Sedna AQ1 - is this real?

  • driftwooddriftwood

    @LumixUser Very good static testing. What's nice is, it shows how well my Dark Matter and Sedna matrices fare against the official AVC-Intra adapted matrix of Orion 4B! ;-)

  • StrayStray

    Now thats a test thats dropped my jaw to the floor, I'm going to have to make some time to try the AQ1 sedna settings.

  • klem007klem007

    well we have a lot of nise noise control in the red and blue gamma with sedna also a very pleasant grain. thats why i'm liking this.

  • yeehaanowyeehaanow

    @Tifose Thanks! Yes, all with one lens, sometimes at f20 it was so bright. Pretty much never went over 200 iso. The mics were sennhieser wireless lavs into a zoom h4n.

    @cinemon

    try Cluster v1, i think it will work ...

  • onionbrainonionbrain

    @LumixUser The question that comes to mind is -- exactly what were you testing? Resolution?

    For noise handling or compression characteristics we'd need to see the video side by side.

    I'm genuinely not trying to be a smart ass or difficult -- and all tests are meaningful and appreciated by everyone. I just honestly don't know what I'm looking for and/or evaluating and comparing. Also, those images look like they were shot using Nostalgic -- and the chroma noise is different in Nostalgic than all the other profiles.

    Again, I'm not trying to be an ass -- I'm just honestly responding.

    i'm confused why the most filmic videos from the gh2 on vimeo are these with the 44M patch.

    especially these :

    this is no hate post, i will only know why appeal is so different. i can't produce something similar with the newer patches like orion or sedna.

    this old patch wasn't Intra or something like this.

    maybe these new patches are the wrong way like @LumixUser says. or is the solution something different for this?

  • onionbrainonionbrain

    @duartix Those are resolution charts, usually used on lenses.

    The question is what do you want to evaluate and compare? Send a PM and I'll do my best to be of assistance.

  • KihlianKihlian

    @lumixUser uncheking all the boxes in ptools (or by clicking any unused red button, A to J)and saving the edited firmware back to your sdcard and reupdating

  • MeierhansMeierhans

    Thanks for the test! About stock:You will need to run it trough ptools and just check version increment to cheat the cam into thinking its a newer version.

  • sohussohus

    @LumixUser Version increment checked?

    Sedna definitely has the least/finest noise. I doubt that any regular viewer will notice any difference between all these settings.

  • KihlianKihlian

    @LumixUser I would also like to see the stock settings at this point. Thanks to test!

  • redbaronredbaron

    @LumixUser All seem sharp, but Sedna and 9b seem to have the least noise (look in upper left region)

  • TifoseTifose

    Great new @LumixUser can't wait too see El Dorado Rum Ready shoot

  • TifoseTifose

    @yeehaanow Hahahaha So funny mann, all done on one len? what did you use for the mic

    God I Hate this F%^& Woman best Line

  • duartixduartix

    @onionbrain I've got time. Any ideas on how to measure this?

    Any of these any good? I'd like to come up with numbers...

    This one looks more complete but overkill for the purpose since diffraction will set in the corners at the same time it sets in the center... I'm just wondering if I should worry about color.

    (EDIT) Don't forget I have to print this at A4. I'm thinking of shooting one (or several) from a distance.

  • uzlanduzland

    My camera stops recording at 4'25" with Orion v4b. Is it normal?

  • yeehaanowyeehaanow

    Here's a wacky film from this past weekends 48hr Film festival. Since it was made on such a time crunch there are plenty of flaws, but DAMN I was pinching myself at how good the footage looked and graded. Shot with Sedna B, 24p, standard, -2-2-1-2, 14-140mm lumix lens. I'll have to post some grabs because the vimeo doesn't do it justice. Thank You Driftwood!!! and VK.

  • consciusconscius

    have you tried very a very high ISO on v4d? Till which iso can you go to keep a nice picture? (with sedna, 3200 isn't a problem, still very nice image)

  • frerichsfrerichs

    @kenoah - the Quantum X (v4d Orion) Dark Matter V3 provides awesome details and handles low light situations superbly as well as well lit situations too. I've experimented with most of the Driftwood settings and so far I'm favoring Dark Matter. Experimenting with Sedna now.

  • consciusconscius

    @kenoah , i think Sedna AQ1

  • peaceonearthpeaceonearth

    @sir_danish thanks!

  • leejb4leejb4

    @Imaginate Hey! I am shooting with a Transcend 32GB (blue card) class 10 and I get a write error every time I try to shoot with 24H in Cinema Mode. Did you tweak or change anything to get it to work, or does it just work for you?

  • kenoahkenoah

    First off, thanx for everyones awesome work. Wish I had the time to help out but I am just an end user. With that being said I know this may be an open ended question.

    What is currently the best driftwood patch? I mean the one that has the highest detail. I have the 64gb card and I dont need long record times.

    I recently just patched my camera with the latest release of driftwood's but Im not sure if that is the highest quality one.

    Thanx

    Kenoah
