Re: Sony PXW-FS5 - Initial User Impressions

Re: Sony PXW-FS5 - Initial User Impressions
Just got in from filming and had a VERY quick play around with my FS5 set at 200 fps (nothing elaborate, just me waving it around at my studio monitors!)...I have a cat but he don't move too fast!

Re: Sony PXW-FS5 - Initial User Impressions
Have not had time to test that yet - but I think the high frame rate bursts are indeed saved in a 50/60i wrapper...I wonder what did the FS700 use? (Note: it's not clear, at least to me, from my...

Re: PXW-FS5 - No Auto White Balance?
