Sehr cool

From a discussion regarding the data rates of the stored files in 4K video clips, I would like to go into this in detail. With the raw data for this video, I have a range of clips from 14,953 kBit / s to 85,695 kBit / s. Apparently the Olympus OMD10 Mark3 has a routine to analyze the content or how much movement in the clip is to be analyzed, because the storage rate for the quiet scenes is usually very low. However, it becomes interesting when comparing it with other Olympus cameras, again with regard to 4k saved clips. OMD 10 Mark3 on average approx. 34,000 kBit / s OMD 10 Mark4 on average approx. 87,000 kBit / s max. 94,408 kBit / s Olympus PL9 (PL10) on average approx. 88,000 kBit / s maximum 106,309 kBit / s OMD 5 Mark3 at 4k DCI resolution a range from 150,000 to 195,000 kBit / s here is a spontaneous comparison from filmed material with: Canon EOS M50 on average approx. 116,000 kBit / s Canon EOS RP on average approx. 120,000 kBit / s Lumix G9 at 25 fps on average approx. 94,000 kBit / s Lumix G9 at 50 fps on average approx. 144,000 kBit / s Fuji XE-4 averages approx. 203,000 kBit / s at the selected high rate These are not laboratory tests, but show a status of my filmed raw material on projects and tours.

Could you please share your 4K camera settings? Picture profile, shutter etc.

[@thommick4142]

I use profile 4 (muted) on an Olympus O-MD10 (Mark3 or 4). You can use the menu or the button on the right to make further settings: I leave the sharpness at 0 Contrast -1 Saturation -1 Gradation normal This gives you a picture that is still fundamentally saturated and does not have to grade too much for an 8-bit format. With Olympus, the sharpness and clarity are not as good as with Panasonics, but the picture looks more like a classic film and less digital. I generally edit the film in Davinci Resolve with a slight contrast curve per adjustment layer and, if necessary, slight correction of the mids in the individual clip. For fun, I also lowered the color saturation in the low and high tones and raised it in the mid-tones. What I love most about Olympus cameras is the built-in stabilizer, which is simply the best in its class. This also means that every type of lens can be used, including prime and without stabilization. So also very inexpensive fixed focal lengths. Sometimes I use an ND filter at a frame rate of 25fps for the correct shutter speed (1/50). But I am often disappointed by the loss of sharpness and chromatic aberration that many ND filters bring with them.

@@thommick4142 Could you please tell me how to get maximum 4K video bitrate? I'm using a sandisk extreme pro card but whenever I record 4K 25fps the max bitrate is only 37mbps, and it looks very compressed. How can I change this?

@@nathanmullally3451 Hello nathan, Unfortunately, I cannot promise you any better values from the OMD10 Mark3, because the Mark3 does not actually deliver high data rates at 4k. I will do a data rate comparison in a comment below the video in the next hour. For you in advance for this video: The clip with the lowest data rate was saved at 14953 kBit / s and is a static calm scene. The clip with the highest data rate was saved at 85695 kBit / s and contains a passing train. The camera actually delivers modest data rates on average regardless of memory cards, I use SanDisk Extreme Pro. On average, the clips for this video are around 34000 kbps or 34 mbps.
