@driftwood thank a lot for u r greatest effort. hope the progress reaches to a very positive side. will T6 be great to use for 24p featured film makers? Or it's just another experiment?
@kritzresn I have no idea what is "normally" the method to measure this. I followed the procedures to calibrate the Sekonic L-758 meter, did every profile, and those were the results I got. They appear to be backed by simple tests, such as I mentioned in the post above. Should you desire the data I gathered I'd be happy to forward the files to you, or anyone else for that matter. Just send me a PM.
Purely based on sensor, the GH2 would rival the 5D Mark3 with a dynamic range of around 11 at low iso. But since indeed the profiles on the GH2 don't stretch as far as cinestyle or raw, you get there at all.. the GH3 seems like a better candidate for dynamic range, not just sensor wise, but mostly since it has flatter profiles, anything like i dynamic will just add more noise.. but most GH3 footage that iv handled seemed to have more DR than GH2 footage (including recent driftwoord intra). But in theory, if the GH2 had raw or something like cinestyle, i could be even more of a beast as it already is for motion etc.. Also when reading around the web DR tests can be a bit subjective on when something is still visible v.s. the amount of noise it's giving off in that state..
@spacewig, isnt it normally the method to use a xyla chart for these measurements ?
9 stops of DR? Pff... I can confirm that GH2 has 6.3 stops of DR at ISO 200 on Smooth profile, just like Shian has been saying for, well, forever. How do I know? I did a calibration with my meter on every profile. You want to test? Set the camera so it displays highlights then take an incident reading of a white piece of paper and see how many stops you can open your lens before the paper blows out the display. There is NOT 9 stops of DR on the GH2. I wish there was...
Shot with moon t5. Must say thank you....I'll upload more tests. You cant really see from here but The "noise" is the best I've encounted thus far. What this showed me here was how the camera reacted to movement, no moving water, sun or wind blown leaves could break this patch. Brillaint work, thanks again.
Odd, suddenly I'm not getting 100% spanning in Moon5. I shot a multi cam interview piece for a commercial. Both cams were using scandisk 64GB 95mbs cards. I can't remember what card was used for what camera but non of the wide cam shots would span without dropping a frame. I need to recreate the problem with all my cards to see if I received a bunk card. I just bought a new one and maybe I got a bad one.
@driftwood Great News Nick. Looking forward to it.
PS: by improved contrast you mean lower contrast? That would be awesome.
Thanks.
Latest News on moon T6: Near completion. What's left to finish?: The fixing of a very strange 1080i60 phenomena. Release date: Probably tomorrow now as I need to do some daylight refinements
Whats improved: Better matrix - less changing of colors (no more greenish tint it seems) when record is pressed on all modes; improved contrast, even more refined use of bitrate. Plus some strange looking settings :-)
@bkmcwd Some of these new ideas could be used for Spizz :-) More soon...
Hi mate,
in terms of patch settings it sorta goes against many previous concepts
It is very interesting news!
Goodness me we have 102 follows!
You are followed up by moooore people than 102 persons in fact. Since I am also contained at least. :-)
@Schlanger77 The Helios is beautiful!
@driftwood Any idea on Moon T6? Sorry i'm getting anxious!
@oscillian Thanks! We had fun and many laughs while filming this. XD
@dado023 because its easier to just patch the camera a be done with one really great and stable patch.
Im using Moon T5 for broadcast quality. DREWnet V8 also works well for me. I simply prefer All Intra as apposed to a high bit rate long GOP like DREWnet V8.
Edit: Moon is Incredible but like anything else there's a price to be paid. Moon's all Intra files are HUGE. But the quality is obviously worth it for broadcast.
