So I was out and about filming last night with a mate, and I'm typing this before hitting the pillows.
We met up with some of the Media reps for Victoria Police, who were holding one of their "Safe Night" events, where they stop hundreds of drivers for alcohol, drug, roadworthy, licensing, EPA and fines checks, looking for Un-safe dirvers, and Un-safe cars.
Moved around, shooting on the K-01's, with the DA40, KA 50f1.4, and Sigma 70-300 f4-5.6, and using the ISO from around 320 with the 50mm, to 2000 with the zoom.
This sample is "Ungraded", and was shot in the 'Natural" profile - an almost out-of-the-box set up.
I wasn't going to post any footage like this up yet, but I noticed something while crashing the shots together in DaVinci Resolve.
I would normally edit in Edius, which has served me well for nearly two decades. Edius is the NLE that has
always had the best support for native CoDecs, it's fast and runs on nearly any spec PC, right up until the latest versions.
What I noticed with Resolve though, was it seems to do a much nicer job of decompressing footage from the h.264 CoDec in the MOV files. This may be due to being able to access the system GPU(s) and use them to do the number crunching, instead of the CPU.
I'll have to look at the differences more closely later.
For now, you should be able to see what I was seeing - less blotchy patches in the dark areas of the video
Music is by Eric, you can find his links here in the Video section of the forum.
Oh/And,... yes, I kept shooting in the rain, even though the K-01 isn't as WR as the DSLR's we love.
It is more WR then the C100 one of the reps had.
