Thanks for watching! Let me know if you have any questions!🤙🏼

[@TonyMolesworthMusic]

Thanks your style is easy to fallow.

[@WakeUpMatt]

Thank you!!🙏🏼

[@NorbertoCruz]

Helps a lot. Thanks Matt

[@WakeUpMatt]

@@NorbertoCruz stoked I could help!🤙🏼

[@RandumbTech]

Those xavc-si files are HUGE. Is there a noticeable difference in quality with xavc-s?

[@WakeUpMatt]

Nope. The difference is in compression and how it will slow down/ freeze up your computer when editing. So for me, I’d rather have larger files but be able to edit quickly and smoothly to get projects done faster and without frustration 🤙🏼

[@hlo2950]

Hello, I bought an FX3 camera and it only has a Japanese version of the menu. How can I unlock more languages?

[@mediafactoryinternational]

Thanks soooo much :)

[@WakeUpMatt]

My pleasure 🙏🏼

[@payneproductionsinc.8421]

What lens do you recommend for the FX3 to give it the best quality with SLOG3?

[@WakeUpMatt]

It all depends on what you’re wanting out of a lens. I usually recommend a 24-70 or 24-105 as a great all-round lens.

[@SoupTimmy]

How do I create a "Main 2" I only have Main 1 and is Main 1 and 2 different camera presets we can have?

[@jingweizhan7543]

Dude, you have not shown the effects of the video. Have nothing to compare it to

[@lzafar]

Everytime i figure out i forget what the hell I did before

[@ValJedi]

Actually, h265 yells better quality at lower file size, and it has hardware support on all modern cups, including apple's m1-m4, and intel's i-cores as of gen 6 (2016).

[@goodgremlinmedia2757]

First switch from shutter speed to shutter angle. Oh wait you can’t. Because this isn’t actually a cinema camera because Sony intentionally omitted basic cinema camera features to protect their actual cinema cameras. Just an FYI, Panasonic doesn’t do that bullshit. And they actually get regular stable firmware updates.

[@WakeUpMatt]

Doesn’t bother me that much. I’m ok with that compromise. That’ll be coming in a firmware update shortly too 👍🏼

[@ToneyFranco]

The update is next month. This comment aged very well. 😂

[@patriciogonzalez8297]

I bought an FX3 a couple of weeks ago. I didn't understand native ISO or why I should use CINE IA, but thanks to this video, I finally got it. Great content! Greetings from Chile.

[@WakeUpMatt]

That’s great! Glad I could help!🤙🏼

[@TheFearlessFew]

ill try these out, i love how your footage looks. I shoot for a big channel as well so we will see how this goes. Would love to see your exposure with FX3 video. Ive recently switched over to this camera from the BMPCC 6K

[@WakeUpMatt]

Niiice!! Thanks so much. I should be coming out with an exposure video next week or the week after. Just want to make sure it’s done really well! :)

[@domecreed]

@@WakeUpMatthi matt :) i can’t seem to find your exposure video, did you make one in the end? thanks for your awesome videos man :)

[@WakeUpMatt]

@@domecreed hey, sorry. Hasn’t come out yet, but should be VERY soon!

[@domecreed]

@@WakeUpMatt ah no worries man thanks so much, i’m really looking forward to it!

[@MotivationNConsistency]

Thanks for the video. Quick question how come the frame rate now shows as decimals and not whole number’s ? 23.98 instead of 24? I just purchased an fx3 and it’s is the same way but everyone else’s show in whole numbers. Is that a firmware upgrade?

[@tomislavliposek]

True 24fps is only available in XAVC S-I DCI 4K format

[@MotivationNConsistency]

@@tomislavliposek thank you

[@ANRO_ANRO]

I was looking to setup my fx3 since i bought it i was just frustrated how to set it up for shooting videos and editing them…is there a way to set it up and not have it disappear when u turn it on again like programming it so that those aettings always stay like what u had..have it aetup for alow motion, 24fps, 60fps, or 120 and always have it set that way and not have to reenter those settings each time..if u could make a video how to set up custom settings that would be great thanks…

[@darylswalker]

YES. Look at memory recall. I have M1, M2 and M3 set up as different fps so I can switch between them and keep the camera settings locked in when switching. Look at Chris Brockhurst' channel, he has a guide on there.

You’ve lost me there

[@Salman_Quadri]

Life saver!!! Thank you Matt!!

[@WakeUpMatt]

Awesome! Glad I could help!!

[@littletheatrefilms5825]

Great video. I just got an fx3 (switching from a c70) and used your video to get started. I had a question though, I’m filming using the xavc s i 4K but all the files are mp4. Is that correct?

[@WakeUpMatt]

Thanks! Glad to help out! Yes, all the files are mp4 🤙🏼

[@jakejohnson5117]

hell yea, good stuff. Thanks

[@MarcanoShow]

my iso goes from 800 to 1000 to 1200 it doesnt jump to 12000

[@WakeUpMatt]

If you have the fx3 in cine ei mode and set up the ISO button to switch between native ISO values, then you’ll be able to switch back and forth between 800 and 12800 🤙🏼

[@fnshirokov]

[@ElectricEclectic]

I picked up a used FX3 and Sony 55mm 1.8 Zeiss lens today, and to my eye it looks cropped to APS-C. Looks strangely tight for a full frame sensor. It says APS-C mode is off… what else could it be?

[@WakeUpMatt]

Maybe check the stabilization? That will crop in if it’s on standard or active

[@TheFreakYDogi]

can u recommand me please a SD Cart for the File Format "XAVC S-I 4k" ? THANKS (followed by the way, nice tutorial :D)

[@WakeUpMatt]

Thanks so much! Any SD-XC v90 card should do great. I usually get SanDisk, Lexar or ProGrade. Or any CF Express type A cards 🤙🏼

[@IRFAN-po5sz]

Very nice information, hi, in comparison with a7RV Interms of videography, FX3 is superior in image quality?

[@WakeUpMatt]

Thanks!! If you are just shooting video, I would recommend the fx3 but if you want both photo and video, the a7rv is a great option. The a7rv unfortunately crops in 1.24x when shooting 4k/60 though.

[@18_panjidharma94]

Everything is very usefull

[@WakeUpMatt]

Thank you!🙌🏼

[@jjclem8759]

Shucks, I was looking for the best settings in 2028!

[@WakeUpMatt]

Stick around for a few years 🤙🏼

[@onlyonestinger]

so before you begin in the menu settings , what mode are you in??

[@WakeUpMatt]

In manual movie mode 🤙🏼

[@lilyloud7777]

how do u shoot outdoors with only 2 options of ISO its soooo bright

[@WakeUpMatt]

Variable ND filters 🤙🏼

[@jamiecreates]

I've just picked up an FX3 :-) Thank you very much for the videos, and i look forward to the other ones coming in the future.

[@WakeUpMatt]

Nice!! Enjoy the new camera! Stoked to help in any way I can!🤘🏼

[@sendafilms9747]

Do you use proxy in your recording?

[@WakeUpMatt]

No proxies for me. That’s why I shoot h264. So even though the files are bigger, they are easier on my computer and I can save time in my edit.
