NO LUT"S WHEN SHOOTING S&Q
HOW DO I SHOOT 2K RAW
INSTEAD OF 4K RAW
FLICKERING PICTURES IN HFR
Copyright Alister Chapman 2014.
LUT operation is restricted/limited
when in S&Q. You can only have
LUT's ON or all LUT's OFF. There is
no option to split the LUT's between
the internal recordings and SDI/HDMI
outputs. To turn on the LUT's on the
HDSDI/HDMI you must turn ON the
Main&Internal LUT in the menu.
(Video – Monitor LUT –
Main&Internal). As an alternative you
can turn LUT's OFF and use the
viewfinder High Contrast Mode which
adds a 709(800) look to the
viewfinder pictures only. (System –
Assignable Button – VF High)
To shoot 2K raw instead of 4K set the
Imager Scan to 2K Full or 2K center.
Note that in order to get the very best
results from 2K Full you should install
the optional 2K optical low pass filter.
You SHOULD NOT use the 2K OLPF
in 2K Center Scan. (System – Base
Setting – Imager Scan Mode)
Not really a camera issue, most likely
the frequency of the light sources in
your scene are not high enough.
Even a distant light source such as a
fluorescent light can introduce flicker
into a daylight scene. Try using
different high frequency lights or
lower the frame rate.
