Nikon Zf | Cinematic Video Test and Comparison (10-bit)

In this video, I show you some cinematic graded footage and I compare the 8-bit video to the 10-bit video.

Considering to buy your LUTs. Would it work with DaVinci?

[@ParkflyersRC]

I use caput for video . Do you have luts for that ?

[@visualsbyst]

@@ParkflyersRC I'm not sure what that is. Can you explain?

[@visualsbyst]

@@MichaelDudko yes, I made them in Davinci. Thanks.

These recordings are all internal camera recorded right? No external monitor stuff? I might buy this than the Z6ii because Z6ii needs an external monitor for the 10 bit. :

[@visualsbyst]

Yes, all internal. No monitors.

[@ThorOnTheRoad]

Hopefully Nikon will implement this on the Nikon Z6 III. The lack of U1, U2, and U3 modes on the Zf is a dealbreaker for me.

[@visualsbyst]

I think they have to. Little crop sensor budget cameras from other brands now have 10-bit video. I think Nikon needs to realize that every new camera they release, absolutely needs to have this.

[@wkghrs]

What is Nikon's video color science comparable to? Possibly Canon?

[@visualsbyst]

I guess it’s close to Canon’s. Not identical, though.

Hi, since you already have the ZF, could you tell any difference between the 4k quality of the 24p versus the 60p cropped? I’ve had the z6ii in the past and the 4k 60p was so horrible I eventually sold the camera. I hope you could compare the two one day. Thanks!

[@visualsbyst]

Hi, thanks for watching. I rarely, if ever use 4k60, but I’ll try to make a video in the future about it.

8 Bits is quite noticeable on the wall. It's conpounded even more with the compression from KZbin.

[@visualsbyst]

Actually, I don't think that's it. If you take a look why, you'll see that it's because in the 8-bit video, the TV is on, so that gives it the banding. If you look at it around 4:00, the TV is on for both videos and in both you have banding on the wall.

[@IPGAuto]

3:06 I see the difference. More color banding with 8-bit where the 10-bit 4:2:2 has smoother transitions in colors

[@visualsbyst]

You’re right.

[@brandontemple20]

u will notice 10 bit more with higher dynamic range conditions

[@visualsbyst]

That is just N-Log. The 10-bit is colour.

[@afraidtoglow7259]

2:50 weird thing happened on your right hand... 😮

[@visualsbyst]

The light flicker? I have no idea how you even caught that. I think it’s just from KZbin compression during upload that a glitch happened.

[@brandontemple20]

u cut all those potatoes witha steak knife?

[@visualsbyst]

I don’t remember if I used a different knife, but I do remember I was set up in a way that I had to cut with my left hand, so it looks very awkward.

[@n1ngnuo]

I feel your white balance is a bit off. But cool video otherwise.

[@visualsbyst]

It was set to a white card. Which part? The talking or the b-roll? It is graded to make it look cinematic and colours are pushed in shadows, mids and highs.

[@akyerit]

YOUR white balance is off! 🤭
