You mean LOSING a stop of light?

Thanks for the kind words, Ed! Coming from DSLR video, I'm pleasantly surprised by the decent processability of the RX10 M4's video files. Exposure and WB errors can be massaged in post process ...

Well done!

Love this, Ed.... well dissolved background and controlled noise even at high ISO.

Some HD footage of various insects filmed in natural habitat at Bued River, La Union, Northern Philippines on July 28, 2018 to August 6, 2018. Shooting info – Sony RX10 Mark IV + Uniqball UBH45 + ...

Thanks, Elliot. During PP, I used a 3:2 cropping rectangle in PS and tried to move it around to see which comp I prefer best.

I haven't done a lot of shooting for a while. But with rains saturating our islands in the last couple of weeks, plants are in full bloom along the banks of the Bued River. When flowers appear, so ...

Using Firefox, the maximum selectable quality of Youtube videos on my laptop is 1440p, even when the video is labeled by Youtube as 4K. I uploaded the file in the OP as 4K, yet the maximum quality ...

Really? My browser (Firefox) only gives me a maximum of 1080p that is selectable, although I uploaded a 4K file. I've no idea why this is so. With all the disadvantages I enumerated in the OP as ...

Just experimenting on the possibilities of 24 fps stills being converted into a short movie clip. The main benefits of this over a standard 4K footage are: (1) larger resolution than 5K and (2) ...

Nice! I've been filming birds with the RX10 M4 (as well as Canon DSLRs), and moire on fine feather details can be a problem indeed. I do the following to mitigate this issue: 1.  Turn down the ...

Lol.... thanks, Ed!

Some surfing footage filmed at Sabang Beach, Baler, Aurora, Philippines on February 16 and 17, 2018. Captured with a hand held RX10 Mark IV, manual exposure in available light, various focal ...

These were taken at 600 mm, at just past the minimum focus distance.

Here's a couple more clips, although I'm not sure if these are "cinematic" enough. :-)

There are two ways I use to differentiate a 240 fps capture from a 480 fps one (RX10 M4): 1. Duration of footage - a 480 fps HFR file is usually about 1.5x longer in duration as a 240 fps HFR file. ...

That was captured with an RX10 M4 in 4K 30p 100 M and processed to 1080/23.97p. So far, standard creative style with toned down contrast and sharpness is working for me. I don't use s-log yet.

I'm using a standard creative style with -1 contrast, 0 saturation and -1 sharpness, with manually set WB. Here's a footage using the above settings, with minimal adjustments in Premiere.

Spectacular action well captured.  Impressive!
