6/24/2023 0 Comments Sigma fp image stabilization![]() ![]() ![]() I still have a BMMCC, I bought nearly 3 years ago, sitting in a box on my shelf that I only used once to test the rig. Other than a few, short-lived, camera purchases, I haven't bought a camera, that I use regularly, in 5 and a half years. years of lusting over the Sigma FP, I finally found one at a price I felt comfortable with. the pulsing usually only about as bad as the worst-case scenario in the video I posted earlier? Do you have an example of some if the pulsing you ran into?Īfter months. I’m very pleased about this, because that means I can get 99% of the Sony A7IV featureset plus some extra goodies for much cheaper. Though I would want to shoot 4k 24p Full-Frame V-Log. In these cases, I feel like I could work within the limitations of the S5’s Autofocus. My work consists of a LOT of lit, controlled talking head sceneries (which I light myself) along with b-roll of events. These are of course ‘workarounds’ and it’s really only in faster/fast paced forward tracking there can ever be an issue with the subject actually remaining in focus, but used as above, works for me. If the camera is on a tripod and I am tracking and need reliable AF, ideally a native lens plus f4-8. How I use all my Lumix cameras these days is to use AF to acquire focus and then immediately flip the lens to manual focus. Especially if you do not wish to rig it out.ī: don’t tweak your AF settings. But IDK despite all the quirks, the tiny size and true cinema dng raw is really attractive! So maybe a Panasonic S5 or Fuji XT3 is a better option. And I’d like to avoid rigging it, aside from just the cage. The FP is a bit of a specialist tool in this sense - the image is spectacular and codecs potentially glorious but it's not an all-in-one shooter that will fit around you and your needs like many other cameras are. There is an EVF but it's an add-on.Īlso, there are very few lenses in the L-mount system that have OIS, and the FP has no IBIS, which means that if you go down the route of not having either then you would most likely require a larger rig to get steady enough shots. Secondly, the FP screen doesn't articulate so depending on how you shoot you might require an external monitor. I can't blame you for wanting to downsize from a Z6 with Ninja Star, but I question if the FP will do what you hope it will.įirstly, the FP has limitations on what resolutions/frame-rates it can record internally, with an external SSD required for the rest (violating your size / rigging criteria). If I am unsuccessful in selling my Z6 for the price I’m hoping for, I’ll probably end up with a used Fuji XT3 and the tiny viltrox primes. To any Panasonic S5 owners, does the pulsing ever get worse than this? If not then the AF system will work for me. But I only really mean the micro-pulsing as shown in this video (I can even stand the 4k 25p V-LOG). And I feel I could live with some of the pulsing people complain about. I feel that from what I have seen online, the AF, while not perfect, would suit my needs. Alternatively I may go with a used Panasonic S5, and use native Panasonic L-mount glass. I would plan to not rig the camera any more than just a tiny cage, possibly an SSD mount, and a niceyrig mini-grip. So I’m considering giving up image stabilization and decent AF, for the tiny formfactor of the Sigma FP and its glorious, politics-free Uncompressed CinemaDNG workflow. And the flat profile while nice for tonality doesn’t hold a candle to NLOG with Dynamic Range I tried a DIY internal log profile using the Nikon PC editor, but while it helps with dynamic range, skin tones turn to mush. The internal image isn’t cutting it for me. I’m sick of having to rig it out just to get 10 bit log. Well I think I’ve nearly decided on selling my Nikon Z6. ![]()
