I say it isn't clipping because the signal is NOT at max white. It IS losing detail though. I guess you're right it would seem to be clipping but to me clipping has/should only happen when the...

Good to know about the -6 on black. I agree it should be lowered. Things look a bit washed out to me at 0. I find the Cine settings tend to soften highlight clipping. Especially on strong colors....

Actually I think the term "Blooming" is more accurate than "clipping". The signal is not clipping per se, it's not reaching 100% IRE but it is losing detail. Thats what I don't get. I'll try and...

Skin tones clip early on EX1?

I've only had my EX1 a few weeks but noticed the skin tones tend to bloom out WAY before anything else reaches 100 IRE Zebras! This is very odd and seems to happen on any of the Gammas. Before...

Dropping the black to -6 gets you to where black should be? That is new info to me, but sort of correlates to what I've noticed (I've been setting it to -5). I've only had my EX1 for a short time...

Pietro,

Mostly I use a 35-70mm Nikon 2.8D lens. I also used a 24mm Nikon 2.8 Prime. They both work well on the indislider.

Cheers!

I have replaced the #2 Assign button with IR REMOTE. This button was used for the silly BRT DSP, which I find quite useless. IR REMOTE is one of the options for the assign buttons.

Be careful stopping down! I can't go beyond F4 without noticing severe grain/streaks from the ground glass. Some can stop the front lens down to F5.4 or so. I guess the Letus Ultimate is going to...
