Provided the resolution is the same, the 25p footage should have less compression but you may not be able to detect the difference in quality. This is probably because the 50 FPS footage has a ...

These days, the PAL and NTSC systems are pretty much obsolete as they were originally used with color analogue television. Modern digital video is covered by ITU standards such as Rec 709 (Full ...

Rec 709 has it's own gamma curve (transfer function) which is similar to but not the same as the sRGB TRC. If a log curve is used during capture, the LUT you mention will convert the transfer ...

Yes exactly. The OP may find he has no choice but to add an icc profile. Here is what it looks like in the metadata.

The tags you highlighted called Color Space are not the same thing as an ICC profile. These tags may or may not be used by the viewing software. Also when you select Adobe RGB in a Sony camera, ...

I'm not familiar with that model either. Like Gerry, I prefer a three way head. I use a Vanguard model which is reasonably priced. The camera is easily clamped very firmly in all three directions ...

That's pretty much the route I took although I bought an X2T trigger unit also which allows me to trigger both flashes off camera. Then you can look at light stands and light modifiers and really ...

I have a TT350 and a TT685 which I believe are similar in performance to the two v series units you mention (other than the batteries). Size wise, the TT350 is a very good fit for a mirrorless ...

Hey Buzz You really need to distinguish between the edit working color space and the export color space. For your purposes, exporting an sRGB jpeg for general viewing is the way to go. However if ...

As far as I'm concerned, the concept Gerry described is the well established concept for DOF. It relates to distances in the field either side of the focus distance where the image defocus becomes ...

Ah at last we have some reality in the debate! As aperture size increases, DOF reduces but in practise it will never reach zero. Dave

Hi Alexis The reflector material and the diffusing materials used in the softbox/umbrella could have an effect on the color of the light hitting the subject. A recent test I did with a white ...

The settings you describe should be fine. I usually use the generic profile for my Sony A7. I'm not sure why your raws are not looking as good as the jpegs initially. Could you perhaps post an ...

My understanding is that the (paid) camera brand specfic versions are basically the same as the full PRO version. With the brand specific versions, they simply restrict the types of raw file you ...

My advice differs from that of the other posters. In my experience with Capture One 20 (for Sony), jpeg files embedded in the raw file are not used for preview purposes. Instead, when a raw file ...

No I wasn't referring to DXO software but raw software in general. I've not used DXO PRIME NR. Interesting that it doesn't work on rendered files. Dave

Yes Jack I think it's worth noting that noise reduction adjustments are typically separated into luminance and chrominance components. This suggests to me that they must be based on properly color ...

I would say that settings for white and black level, demosaicing algorithm, white balance and camera profile and tone curve are directly working on raw data. Not all software will give you access ...

Hi Werner OK I think I can see where you are coming from. The green and blue are not quite the same in that the two exposures in the green have a gap between them but hey are taken within the same ...

Hi Werner Thanks for your clarification re ISO on your camera. I didn't realise you had a specific camera in mind and I'm not familiar with BM gear or their raw video format. If the ISO setting ...
