HDR and Acquisition
Posted: September 9th, 2016, 7:42 pm
Hello all,
I am exploring the purchase of a new camera, an upgrade into the professional realm. I am considering an F5 and wondering how well this will handle HDR. I am assuming that HDR has some specification for the camera, like how many stops of latitude it can do, etc? Coincidentally, I just read today the following regarding news from Sony at IBC;
"4K Program production: XAVC allows excellent HDR capture in S-Log3
The version eight firmware update for F55 and F5(with 4K lic. Upgrade) enables support for XAVC 4K Class 480 recording, allowing a higher bit rate and capture of excellent HDR in S-Log3. XAVC allows for reviewing of images captures immediately after shooting on-site, making it ideal for HDR production of documentaries and natural history programs"
So one question is, does the F5 with 4K upgrade capture this new format (XAVC 4K Class 480) internally?
Thanks for any help or thoughts.
