Trying to do something creative under pressure, with constant interruptions,...
More on the PP3 profile settings Hi Guys
Well I have found that if I push the colour level in PP3 from zero up to +4 for outdoor shoots it's really a nice profile and not necessary to lift saturation in post... as it stands, PP3 is great for indoors with maybe a tad of a saturation lift (+2 maybe) but what I still really need...

NEX VG30 chroma subsampling Hello,
Does anyone know whether the VG30 uses 4:2:2 subsampling or 4:2:0?
I believe I read that the VG900 uses the former, and aside from the sensor they appear to be fairly similar.
Thank you in advance.
