    Here is a recent video I created with the E2C in ProRes Raw along with the Ninja V & DJI RS2

    Here is the companion article I wrote with information on the process: https://www.redsharknews.com/pushing-entry-level-tech-to-the-limits-an-enchanted-winter-in-prores-raw

    Yes, the Z Cam E2C has focus peaking.

    I am just wondering if the latest firmware improved the bits rate to 12 already? Does the Z Cam e2c camera has focus peaking? Thank you.

    All E2s, including flagships and E2c are getting this feature ready with new updates.

    New firmware for the E2C -

    1. DCI 4K at 30P.
    2. ProRes up through 422 HQ.
    3. ZRAW
    4. Monitor LUT capability when shooting Zlog2. and more

    Yes, I mistakenly posted it here, and I did not see a way to delete it after I discovered the mistake.

    The 4K 60P video is the E2 and not the E2C. E2C is only 30fps @ 4K.

    4K 60P example: In this video, the motion is in playing instruments: fingers flying on a keyboard, and fingering and bowing violins. This intricate motion needs to be well-captured. Motion is not just sports and fast cars.

    ProRes and portable - great for street videography:

  • markr041markr041

    My first attempt to shoot ProRes (422 HQ), using a Sandisk 1TB Extreme Pro SSD attached to the E2C by USB-C, and rubber band. I shot 109 GB's of clips without a glitch. With an Ipod Touch for viewing and touch screen focus (no-wire WiFi) and control and the rubber-banded SSD, I had a light and small rig shooting ProRes.

    Here is the test video excerpt:

    Thanks. All of my videos are handheld. ISO1600 for the night video.

    @markr041 nice images, really a capable camera. Can you also post some handheld to see the rolling shutter of the camera? It would be also cool if you mention İSO, the last night footage is really cool

    Low-light test 2: Night scenes:

    Lens was f2.8-f4, nor particularly fast. And shutter at 1/60th, so motion is smooth with no ghosting. Shot in "flat".

  • markr041markr041

    Low-light test: Grand Central terminal basement. REC709.

  • markr041markr041

    Shot using Zlog2, then graded. Easy to grade (and 10bit). I do not find the Z cam LUT for Zlig2 useful and did not use it. Grading aim: to look like what I saw.

    The HDR HLG reminds me of old Technicolor, especially the ultra blue skies and skin tones.

  • markr041markr041

    And now, an HDR (HLG) video!

  • markr041markr041

    Run and gun in a park:

    This is using no peripherals - just camera and lens and battery - no monitor, no handle, no big battery. Focus aids work in AF: peaking and magnification.

    Lens: PL 12-60mm

    the rolling shutter pretty bad

    @markr041 Nice! So far the best footage available with the E2c.
