Re: Cf Express on Fx9

The FX9 does not support CFexpress. Only XQD.

Re: PMW F5/F55 USB-Port

I believe this port was included for engineering purposes, but don't believe it is ever normally used.

Re: Sony FX6 Dynamic Range

Both high and low have almost exactly the same dynamic range and it's somewhat governed by the S-Log3 curve, so a crude chart like this would look the same for both. The high ISO has more noise, so some of the deeper shadows are less usable than at low base.

Re: Fs7 viewfinder retrofitting

It's available as a spare part from Sony, but not cheap.

Re: Settings S-log2 on A73

Most likely because you have screwed up the log curve by making adjustments to it. Get rid of all the extra adjustments in your profile, they won't improve things, only make them worse, S-Log 2 LUT's won't work right with raised black level and black gamma. So ditch all that junk and use the S-Log2 ...

Re: PXW-Z450 - seems a very good traditional 4K camera

The Z450 is an OK camera, but squeezing 4K on to such a small sensor means that it isn't very sensitive and it doesn't have the greatest dynamic range. As an early camera for 4K news it's OK, but if you really want to do a lot of log or HDR you are going to want a camera with more dynamic range.

Re: Sony Fs5 RAW w/ Black Magic Video Assist Recorder

You need an Atomos or Convergent Design recorder specifically designed for raw to record the raw output. Conventional recorders will not be able to record raw.

Re: FS5 II 4K 10-bit

Correct the output is 8 bit, so you can't record 10 bit with a ninja inferno.
