Re: FS7 wont turn back on.
JSP you should realize first that this is a "zombie thread" the original posts happened almost 11months ago. Someone followed up in July, and then two users asked for updates in November and December...
View ArticleRe: 4K/QFHD HDMI output issue
Keith,This is an known issue that is very frustrating. Either some montors aren't adhering to the full HDMI standard or Sony is sending a non-standard signal out when set to 23.98. Its tough to tell....
View ArticleRe: Sony FS7 - how long can it shoot continuously?
You can hot swap XQD cards so you could theoretically record for as long as you can keep proving the camera with unfilled cards. How long can you record on a single card or a pair of cards? I'd refer...
View ArticleRe: 2K Recording
You need the XDCA-FS7 Extension back which enables raw recording and the higher frame rates. You'll also need an external on board recorder like the Odyssey 7Q to record the footage. Its Raw only and...
View ArticleRe: Locking EF adapter for CN-E lenses and wireless follow focus
So this issue is one that happens with all still camera mounts to some extent or another (EF, Nikon, MFT, E Mount) all of them use a register pin to lock the lens in place. This leaves a little play...

Have you calibrated both monitors with color bars? Also are you sure there isn't a lut being loaded on the shogun?

http://www.videouniversity.com/articles/color-bars-and-how-to-use-em/ As I recall there is no blue gun on the FS7 viewfinder but you should be able to eyeball it.

Just tried it on two FS7s with different XCDAs and it works fine. If you follow these steps you'll be good: SYSTEM>BASECine EISLog 3 Cine (or whatever you want here)2k Center (or Full) <-----you...
View ArticleRe: The exposure of Sony a7II is always under?
Diano,Why not use the exposure compensation dial it sounds like it would work for you if its always constantly off by 1 stop. You can also set the camera to manual and expose to taste. It may look gray...
View ArticleRe: Timecode input on XDCA-FS7
I've ran into issues with some camera's TC signal not being hot enough for the FS7 (Most recently the PMW200 and PMW300 cameras). The other cameras were more than happy to sync up with the FS7 though....
View ArticleRe: What to IRE to expose for in SLOG3 on FS7 and FS5.
The short of it is that if you overexpose you get less noise at the cost of some dynamic range. The camera has such high dynamic range that this is normally not a bad trade off. I normally set my meter...

Doug,Sorry I should have been more specific I was agreeing with the zebra method, I use a slightly different version as lately I've had the luxury of going back to using my lightmeter so I just set it...
View ArticleRe: What to IRE to expose for in SLOG3 on FS7 and FS5.
I believe Doug was referencing the FS5 with the 3200 comment as its sensor is native 3200 instead of the FS7's 2000. The way Hypergammas work they tell you how much more above rec709 they can capture...
View ArticleRe: A7s and 30p
I don't own an A7S, just the A7SII and I'm pretty sure I can use 30p. Are you certain the 60i of the A7S isn't a 30p signal sent through 60i (as is the case with pretty much every camera)? The camera's...
View ArticleRe: A7s and 30p
Allen,Agreed. You beat me to the punch as I just tested this set up with an A7S, A7SII, FS7, and the 7Q+ and both cameras work. The caveat for any of those wondering at home is to make sure to set the...
View ArticleRe: Shooting at F1.4
Living in Los Angeles having external NDs as well as using all the inertnal NDs is an absolute must with this camera. I'm typically maxing out the internal ND plus usually some kind of combination of...

View ArticleRe: Level changes XAVC-L Slog 3 in Premiere Pro
This sounds like an Adobe bug. Are the levels (I'm assuming brightness levels not sound levels right?) changing on playback only? Have you tried exporting a clip to see if its there? It might be the a...

Rudo,This is very intersting. Obviously stick to what works for you, but I haven't ran into the same issues you have using the XAVC-L Codec.In fact, it has been argued in these forums and elsewhere...
