Thanks for tests. I sold my Alexa Classic a few months ago and miss it, mainly cause it was HUGE. Since then I bought a Komodo to replace my Alexa for my higher-end gigs and meh, I don't like the image or working with the Komodo at all. I have an FX3 that I actually prefer over the Komodo, but client perception of the tiny camera is no bueno, so I made the decision to buy an Amira. Yes, it's heavy but lighter than the classic, and it has that Alexa magic. The great thing about the Alev III sensor is that no matter what lens you put on it, even a Sigma 18-35mm, it still looks magical. I've gotten tired of trying to make other cameras look like Alexa by using Phantom LUTs or Juan Melara's great Sony2Alexa or Komodo2Alexa LUTs. At the end of the day, nothing is like an Alexa.

[@BlaineWestropp1]

I agree with you about the Alexa image. I also like red, had a scarlet-w for a while and loved it. Working with the Alexa (like actually working with the camer) is really top notch and perfect. I’d recommend searching for a mini. I’ve seen great prices here and there.

@@BlaineWestropp1 The thing is, is that the Amira images is identical to Mini and it does ProRes 3.2K and 200fps HD like the Mini, and can record internal audio cause it has phantom XLR.

You might try ACES. I did some tests with all the main cameras from Sony, Canon, Arri, Red and found the ACES transforms made them all match pretty closely where the DaVinci transforms all looked good but didn’t end up looking like each other.

i really haven't stuck to an ACES workflow, for web delivery I felt as if it added more steps than I was interested in fully learning. I need to look into it further. I can manually match different cameras in resolve pretty well (different A and B camera for an interview for example). I will test ACES again. any pro tips?

[@elvisripley]

@@BlaineWestropp1 Well I like to set the Color Space and Transforms in the Project settings. ACEScct, ACES 1.3, Apply ACES reference gamut compress Then all the exposure transforms are done in the timeline space which is ACEScct. I do this so you can apply the same adjustments to clips of multiple cameras and also because it is easier to just have less nodes when the in and out transform aren't on each clip. You could do the same test you did but use the ACES transform instead of the DaVinci one. Maybe you will get a closer result but maybe you will still see the difference.

So regarding the same clipping point in the fx3 - would you recommend just to stay at ISO 800? If the highlights clip at the same point, with ISO 800 you could at least save informations in the shadows...

I keep the fx3 at 800 or 12800. If I could have a way to see if the log image was clipping, I would move around the iso all the time. but I have been in a scenario with the fx3 where I lowered the EI, had zebras set, thought I was not clipping, and then later I see clipped footage in resolve.

@@BlaineWestropp1 what Zebra Values work the best for you for skintones and highlights? With the phantom LUTs the suggested IRE is at 56 for skintones and at 75 for highlights. But with my FX30 I tend to underexpose when sticking to those values.

there are a couple alexas here and there at NFL games. the alexa is the prime camera for narrative and high end commercial work, beyond just its look. working with it, and the workflow, and the flexibility of the color in post is second to none. i did find a nice look with the sony when i brought it to italy: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaPFfqxjmMlkh5o ... i can only imagine if i brought the alexa! in the end of the day all of the cameras out right now are nice.

Have seen The Creator? Shot on fx3

[@agri2986]

I AM NOT A NATIVE SPEAKER AND I JUST ORDERED my fx3 10 minutes ago. after i sold my A73. is it right that you want say is FX3 HIGHLIGHT CLIPPING POINT DOES NOT CHANGE with changing the iso as we already know if we change iso higher then we can capture more highlight. but sony does not in the cine ei mode. so i can take more highlight or darkside only with cine ei point.? is it right? so i can take more highlight with cine ei not with higher iso. most important question is " is it really better to get fx3 than a7s3 to get more dynamic range? "

[@BlaineWestropp1]

Hi. The clipping point in slog 3 does not change no matter what you shoot in, does not change with cine ei, or iso adjustments, but you can still get a nice image. Also, I believe the FX3 and the A7S3 have the same dynamic range 😊

[@JohnLuna]

I'd love to know how exposure index is different on ARRI vs Sony. I understand that Sony does not gain highlight info because it still records at 800 native. Like the ARRIs, Blackmagic cameras let you gain highlight information when you raise the ISO. When you change the EI on ARRIs is it still recording native ISO and just changing the display? If its EI not ISO(?) how does it gain highlight info? Thanks! I'd love to see a video explaining the difference.

[@BlaineWestropp1]

Hi, when you change the EI on an Alexa, it is not recording native and just changing the display, it actually recorded the changed EI. If you raise the EI, the point at which the sensor clips the log image rises, which is a very nice thing to have. On the FX3, when you change the EI, nothing happens on the sensor, the only thing that happens is the display gets brighter or darker. The problem I have with the FX3 is that your zebra will indicate different clipping as you change the EI. So you can unfortunately be in a scenario where (if your zebras are set to 94 to show you where you are clipping) you lower your EI, and the screen says you are not clipping but then you look at the footage and its completely clipped. The zebras should not change on the FX3 when you change EI, because.. the image actually doesn't change at all. This is not the case on the Alexa.

[@JohnLuna]

@@BlaineWestropp1 thanks for letting me know about the zebra issue on the FX3! That's definitely a problem to be aware of. I only started hearing about EI when the FX9 came out. Sounds like EI on ARRI is basically ISO - and it works just like Blackmagic. Any idea why ARRI calls it EI and not ISO?

[@BlaineWestropp1]

@@JohnLuna sure thing! on the fX3 I just stick to 800 or 12800 (rarely). Arri calls it EI bc each camera has one ISO. On the mini LF that ISO is 800. You can't change the iso, but you can change the EI which shifts the dynamic range allocation above/below middle grey. It's like film, you can't change the ISO of a film stock. During regular operations though, EI on a digital camera behaves like ISO, and on the Alexa it changes where the DR sits. I think a lot of other camera just use the term ISO to not complicate things!

[@JohnLuna]

@@BlaineWestropp1 thanks for that lesson lol. I appreciate it! So to be clear only Sony just changes the display? Is it only an FX3/30 thing?

[@BlaineWestropp1]

Sure thing! Glad to help. Yes Sony EI adjustments just changes the image on the display. The purpose of it is to view what an exposure adjustment in post may look like. In this case it would be good to have a large accurate monitor on set. It is not only an fx3/30 thing. I believe it is the same even up to the Venice (haven’t specifically tested this on the Venice, but someone in the comments here mentioned that was the case).

[@kanishkgrover3355]

Great video! About the highlight recovery, you tested sony at both its native ISOs, If you go to 1000 iso or above on sony you should see the difference in the latitudes. For FX9 if you go from 800 to 1600 you gain one stop in highlights and lose one stop in shadows. not sure about the fx3.

[@BlaineWestropp1]

On the FX3 you do not gain anything or lose anything when changing from 800 to anything else. Haven’t used the fx9, but I was pretty certain this was the same. If your clipping point isn’t changing you aren’t gaining anything. Does your clipping point change on the fx9 if you increase iso?

[@BlaineWestropp1]

Also, thank you!

[@kanishkgrover3355]

I just got a fx9 few weeks back and haven’t tested that yet but I found a chart, I’ll share it with you on your IG which explains how changing ISO changes how the dynamic range works. Definitely going to do a real time test sometime soon.

[@BlaineWestropp1]

[@renaissancedigital5730]

If expose normally at a higher ISO you'll save more highlights and get noisier shadows. The higher ISO doesn't capture more dynamic range. It's like if you shoot ISO 2000 in broad daylight. You'll have to use a lot more ND than if you shot at 200 iso. You'll probably not clip any highlights but your shadows and midtones will be noisy as hell. But if you exposed at 200 iso you'd have a lot less highlight room but very clean shadows. I guess that is hard to wrap one's head around lol.

Dual native is different in that as the second iso is cleaner, but thinking about shifting the DR stays the same. But some cameras is doesn’t really shift. On Sony, the image changes when you change between native ISOs, but does not change when changing between any other ISOs.

I don't know how much the FX30 differs from the FX3 but I haven't been happy with mine. Using a color space transform the skin just looks like crap against the Alexa. It's even worse using the default Sony lut. For whatever reason default WB settings on the Sony are just super pink/magenta. It almost feels like Sony just went, "hey let's make this as ugly as possible". Or maybe it's just not fair pitting anything against an Alexa.
