@@markbone thank you so much, Mark! Love your channel, and your work! Hope for nothing but success for you. You're one of the real ones.

[@reubengoingbelow]

Do you tend to worry much about noise in shadows? whenever underexposing in Clog3 I tend to get a lot of ugly noise in my shadows. Does the sony fx line just produce a cleaner image with slog3? I did notice some more noise than your usual shots in this one, but still a nice usable image. Cheers Mark, love your work

[@markbone]

Yeah I need to do more tests. From what I saw from the fx30 it gets VERY noisy when underexposing

[@brandonstraus3615]

also note to the insurance talk, if you're a homeowner you're covered under personal property if your stuff is stolen generally-- I called my insurer before travel to check.

[@coltynpresent]

Great video! What lens were you using on the FX30 and what would you recommend if you could only pick one diverse lens for the FX30?

[@markbone]

I would get a 16-35 full frame lens for the fx30

[@SoundSpeeding]

Go for the Tamron 17-70mm f2.8! A super affordable and quality lens, with a massive 10x zoom range with a constant f2.8 You can't find anything like that for FF! One of the many benefits of APS-C

[@augustineadu862]

great video

[@Praxiszooms]

very nice poolshots in the end :)

[@markbone]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@jmiscischia]

Magnificent! What lenses were you using?

[@markbone]

24-70 + 16-35

[@seecraig]

Any thoughts on ISO settings? Keep to the lower base and use ND filter I guess. Can lowering the ISO work as an alternative given the known impact on dynamic range distribution? How one might handle might be different between Flexible ISO and CineE (and Exposure Index)? Inquiring minds want to know.

[@markbone]

Truthfully I am finding the fx30 a bit noisy in low light but I need to do more tests. I will always air on the side of a lower native iso when I can though because they typically have less noise

[@seecraig]

@@markbone Interesting. Although APS-C would be nosier in low light compared to Full Frame but, downsampling from 6K should make the noise grain smaller (a finer-grained noise?).

[@Desifactoryharyanvi]

Please suggest lens fx30 🇮🇳

[@binaryinfections]

You two are the reason I have my FX6 and FX3

[@markbone]

What about Non-Binary Infections?

[@yosoyadae]

Do you guys get a lot of noise on your FX30?

[@markbone]

It needs lots of light for low light in my experience

[@gabemartinez1012]

whats the best focal length for a more cinematic scene

[@markbone]

Somewhere between 10mm and 1000m. Honestly it’s what you’re shooting not the lens

[@aodvisions]

I've always wanted to learn how to create haze 3:47 how is the possible without a fog machine? or is that only with a fog machine? 😥

With this camera not being full frame, can I get a lens to make it full frame? If so which lens?

Metabones speedbooster will do that

[@SoundSpeeding]

@@darrellreesejr yes, it is available in E Mount and is designed for APS-C cameras such as the FX3 Imagine if FF had a 24-105mm f2.8 lens? That's what this lens is for APS-C! The 17-70mm f2.8

[@jamiebegin9224]

Hey Mark, big fan of your work. Two comments though: 1) Three sponsorships in one video? It's starting to get a bit over the top. 2) It would be great to see a larger variety of stuff. Almost everything I've seen of yours is looks nearly identical: shot hand-held, backlit, haze, super high contrast ratio, probably uses a mist filter, graded with crushed blacks and lots of cyan in the highlights.

[@markbone]

Naw just one sponsor mate, but I’m always down to acknowledge the brands that help me provide this content for free. And yeah I guess I have a distinct look with my footage! It’s my vibe 🤷‍♂️

[@markbone]

Also truthfully I look at this video and agree there’s much more information to be unearthed. This are certainly just high level tips. More deep dives to come soon

[@noones7170]

did you notice the streaking like the gh6 ?? i see it

[@castielvargastv7931]

I dont. Something is wrong with your eyes?

[@ALeprechaunn]

Whenever I show up to a location the first thing I do is shut off all the lights and there’s always at least one person (usually a client) saying “Why’s it so dark?” I’ll just show them this next time.

[@markbone]

Hahaha. Right? Always

[@ddkineprod]

@@markbone always yes but in this case, at 2:40 i like how it look too, just a different style but not too bad. No ?

[@ddkineprod]

less stylistic (less commercial production) but closer to the truth (more realistic for a kind of documentary.)

[@elmono3939]

Hmm... why is the FX30 footage lacking sharpness and contrast ? Seems to be way too soft. It is very noticeable especially when cut in the BTS camera

[@nyambe]

Is the image of the fx30 a bit noisy or it’s just me?

[@markbone]

It is in the shadows. Might have just needed more light

[@nyambe]

@@markbone I guess Sony FF has us spoiled. I imagine it will take some time to find the FX30 sweet point (probably closer to regular Cine Cameras). Thanks for the great content! keep it up!

[@SimeonMihalkov]

Idk why but the footage looks pretty noise heavy

[@markbone]

Yeah youtube went savage on it. It was a bit noisy but nothing like that

[@theowlfromduolingo7982]

Sorry but I think it’s just wrong to pretend the FX30 is a true cinema camera. It’s incredible for the price and formfactor but no real cinema camera (no 4k DCI, no 24 FPS, no Timecode). If I’m wrong about the last points please correct me.

[@markbone]

I believe it can take in timecode with a special cable from Sony

[@theowlfromduolingo7982]

@@markbone Yes I’ve heard that too. But to me a cinema camera should definitely have internal timecode

[@SoundSpeeding]

It has 23.98fps and it DOES have timecode 🙂

@@theowlfromduolingo7982 There isn't a camera on the planet (not even ARRI!) that I'd feel comfortable trusting its internal timecode
