Hey folks.
I just wanted to share a video that I recently completed that I think shows off some of the best smooth-slow-record footage I've seen yet. I shot it in Val Aupa in the Italian Alps in June, I originally took my NX4 to get some time-lapses of the valley but there was just so much wildlife everywhere I ended up shooting more high-speed footage than time-lapse!

Have a look:

'Insects of Dordolla' - Val Aupa Italy, June 2011. HD high-speed butterfly wildlife film - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1Jn2M1K0Eo)

This was shot using the Sony NX5 in 1080i50 FX mode using end-triggered 3second smooth-slow-record. I captured in ProRes Proxy and edited in FCP before an online to ProRes 422, grading and exporting to h264 for upload to YouTube.

Sweet! And none of that awful edge sharpening that I seem to get when I use the 3 second smooth slow record.
