@mojo43 Where can I find this hack??

mojo43

Good news there is a video bitrate hack for the D5200 camera

Glad to hear that AF-ON problem was driving me nuts!

New firmware

The camera now supports the display of error messages when lenses with a retractable lens mechanism, such as the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18–55mm f/3.5–5.6G VR II, are used. An error message is displayed and the shutter cannot be released when the lens barrel is retracted.
The display of focal lengths in 35mm format recorded in image Exif data has been corrected.
The following issues have been resolved:
- The camera would sometimes freeze when adding options to My Menu (Add items).
- Under certain conditions, the camera would sometimes not focus automatically when the AE-L/AF-L button was pressed with AF-ON operation assigned to the button.
- When shooting with High Dynamic Range (HDR) enabled, noise in the form of a line would sometimes appear at bottom right in images.

Sharpness test GH3 and Nikon5200. Frames and charts are from:

I put charts together in same picture and sharpened frames.

I do the same, but don't use the profiles. To me, I just get as close to what I want it to look like in camera. For example the last one that I shot I wanted an red/orange tint throughout. I knew this in advance... Play around with both. You have a lot of fun stuff ahead of you!

Well, yes, i'd like to shoot some shorts and do color grading with after effect..

mojo43

The flat profiles are lifting areas that may show noise, but are normally hidden. I think that the profiles are probably only of use if you want to do some serious colour grading.

@mojo43

Would like to get as much DR i can, but i don't want noise. So, do you suggest to don't load flaat profile in camera?

Other settings are you experimenting? A definitive set do you like to use for every situation? Thanks a lot. Taken d5200!

Do you guys use the histogram for video shooting? What histogram situation is best expected for flaat profiles? I notice pattern noise in the far left zone of the histogram and avoid shooting low key. The display is very accurate on the camera, but I always try few test shots before shooting and decide what setting I need.

Anyone can share their experience?

Renovatio

Impressive low light results.

Hi, can someone tell me hot to load this faat 11 profile? Is it valide on its own, nothing else we need, some other in-camera settings suggest? Thanks a lot I'm thinking to get this nikon d5200 as a less expensive option than the others, also: which cheap lens do you suggest? One doitall.

Thanks

Hi all,

Is there some way to reset the camera shutter count?

Thanks

paglez

I will try it. Thanks

mojo43

@paglez Try shooting in standard with the contrast down and get the exposure right in camera. I have seen the noise before, but it typically only happens when I am not getting the exposure right in camera.

paglez

I'm using kit lens (18-55). Flaat 11 style. I get a very noticeable linear pattern noise, specially in low light shots.

mojo43

@paglez Thanks! I shot Standard with contrast bumped down 2 notches and sharpening at 2. I shot with a Sigma 30mm F1.4 and and some of the slow mo was done with the Sony Rx100.

How come you are having trouble? What lenses are you using?

paglez

@mojo43 Very good video. What lenses did you used? What Profile? (Flaat,portrait, landscape) I have a Nikon 5200 and I'm not able to get these great pictures!!!

mojo43

I have been shooting with the D5200 since the summer and I absolutely love the video quality... Here is something I shot. Let me know if you have any questions or comments!
