I hear you. Thanks for watching :)

Yes my ISO was set to native 100 and used aperture and variable ND to adjust exposure. I made sure the skin was around 70 IRE without clipping the background cuz it was pretty bright at times. I just did it visually on the LCD.

Yeah, like putting Sony a1 sensor in the fp. Or even a global shutter like a9iii in a compact body? I'n drooling :)

Thanks!

Thanks for watching :) My videos are usually improvised so I actually prefer the quick workflow of Sony cameras using Slog3. For more professional shoots the CDNG will provide much better images and flexibility in post.

Great to hear you're visiting. fp L is ¥247500 which is about $1700USD. But both fp and fp L are on back order here in Japan unfortunately. Only current option is used (as of Aug 2024)

Thanks so much! :)

Thanks so much!! :)

I averaged about 350-400MB/sec of footage. Filled about 80% of 1TB SSD for a full day of shooting. Thanks for watching :)

Many FP owners use the Slimraw app as part of their workflow to reduce file sizes

@@KazuoItoga if you can remember, about how many hrs/minutes of footage did that turn out to be?

I think about 30-40 minutes of footage. You can probably get just short of 1 hour of footage on a 1TB SSD.

Thanks! There's no electronic contact so no info is passed to camera. Focus and aperture are adjusted on the lens manually.

@@KazuoItoga Great, thank you for that information!

I haven't. What's the benefit?

@@KazuoItoga No idea, I suppose for myself it would mean not having to learn new colour grading software. Which to be honest confuse the hell out of me. And I remember reading it’s a viable alternative. Especially with 8 bit. I’ve been trying to locate the original article I read. No luck so far

@SpudUna Ah! Now I see where you're coming from. I think you cannot edit CinemaDNG in Lightroom as a video clip. You might be able to edit a single frame as a photograph. Sorry that I can't think of a good solution at the moment...

@@KazuoItoga yes you choose one frame from your clip. Adjust to your liking, then batch process the remaining frames using your chosen frame as a preset.

Thanks! Built-in Davinci LUT for REC709 conversion, then my own LUT for final look.

@@KazuoItoga it’s awesome

It is a 1/4-20 screw mount but I don't think it fits existing cages.

@@KazuoItoga thanks

Good points. I would mention that the 8-bit files of this camera are surprisingly good!

Thanks! I didn't do a run-down test, but on this day we started before noon and shot on and off all day until evening with 2 batteries!

@@KazuoItoga Great! Learning this gave me the courage to try shooting long continuous videos with my Sigma fp.

Thanks for watching. I'm not sure if the crop mode 4K is pixel to pixel. Sorry for my lack of knowledge.

Thanks!!

Thanks very much for the clarification! I mentioned output to HDMI but failed to mention an external recorder.

Thanks so much :)

Thanks! Appreciate the feedback :)

Thanks very much Anson!

Good advice!

thankfully its machined aluminium

Thanks! Such a fun and capable camera.

Thank you!

Thanks so much!

Thanks! Good point about the fps.

It does 100fps, only in 1080p but full sensor, 12 bit. Very useable

Thanks!!

Thanks very much! fp is sure a great camera. Maybe I'll try fp L in the future!

Thanks! 8 element is sure special.

Thanks so much! Your comment means a lot to me✨

you can use an M42 to L adapter like this one www.kfconcept.com/KF06.476-manual-lens-adapter-ring-m42-l.html

@@KazuoItoga got it thanks

Thanks so much✨

For casual video, really easy. I do it all the time. For serious work I'd rig it with a monitor. Keep in mind no IBIS.

Hi! Usually the serial number is under 1,400,000. The red infrared line is on the right side of the 4 line, and the rear element curves out quite a bit from the casing.

@@KazuoItoga OK I have a 7 elements version, thanks !

Cool! Would love to visit and photograph one day.

Thank you so much! I'm sure you'll enjoy the fp as much as I do mine. It is an incredible camera and I'm also looking forward to testing its video capabilities.

Thanks! They do give a very distinct character to the images and I really enjoy it.

@@KazuoItoga They sure do. I have a few Chinese lenses from the 60s. Complete junk but so much fun. They are local versions of old Pentax and Nikkor lenses.

I'm curious how you use the camera with your students. Thanks so much for your compliments!

Thanks so much for watching! You're right that it's quite challenging to predict their movement! I'm still leaning myself. Just gotta keep practicing I guess😁

Thanks for watching! fp is modular. You can buy a viewfinder. It also shoots 14bit DNGs. It's not a camera for many, especially beginners.

It's because the lens is almost 60 years old :) Thanks for watching!

wow that's a very cool use of an fp-L. I'm sure you can use your fp-L as a handheld snap camera just like I do with my fp.

@@KazuoItoga This weekend I shall try!! 👏👏👏👏
