1080p S&Q colour banding

I was shooting some Clouds today using S&Q motion at 1080p. I had set 1/25 in S&Q so the camera was grabbing one frame a second (fast motion).

Unfortunately the image seems to be suffering badly...

I must have just been lucky then. The first time I white balanced outside I used A, the first time inside I used B. The result was 5600 & 3200 so I just left it at that.

I do agree though, you...

That's exactly what I do and it works fine (at least on the mac). Using the XDCAM file transfer app is more time consuming than just duplicating the mounted SxS card.

Firstly I change the WB settings so that preset B is set to MEM and not ATW, that gives you the ability to store a WB on both preset A and preset B.

I usually leave these on 3200 & 5600 and switch...

Hi there.

Yes you should get audio on both channels from the XLR, check the switches on the XLR block and make sure the bottom right switch is set to the right (CH1 & CH2).

Component out

I tried using my Dell 24" LCD as an external monitor for the EX1 today and had a few problems.

In both 720 & 1080 modes a lot of the image is not shown, which kind of defeats the object of using...

Sorry to hear that Steven. I would be inclined to ask for a replacement too, especially after sending it off to be fixed once.

I don't know if mine was fixed after production or not, I suspect it...

I see the effect with regular (non fluorescent) bulbs too. I think it's to do with the frequency of the power supply.

No adapters, all done with the stock lens. I used a single Dedolight and most of the footage was shot on a tripod other than the obviously shaky closeups.

Hot & Cold - EX1 clips

Just a few clips I grabbed of some taps today, there's not much exciting about taps I know, but I really like some of the shots so thought I'd post it.

I don't think there are any hard and fast rules, but using a shutter speed twice that of the recording frame rate is a popular setting for trying to achieve film like footage. So using a...
