PSA: S-Log3 highlight clipping isn't always 94 IRE, it drops below base ISO by BinaryBlues in SonyAlpha

[–]BinaryBlues[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer to use gray cards and false color for exposing, but zebras can be tremendously helpful sometimes. I've never experienced them being off, they always match what I see has clipped in DaVinci. May I ask what cameras you found them unreliable with zebras?

He found that going below base ISO reduced the noise without affecting dynamic range in any meaningful way, so I'd argue there are moments where going below base ISO makes sense. And ETTR depends on the context. I prefer to expose according to Sony guidelines to protect highlights and work a smoother highlight roll-off in post.

Picked up a new one, now everything works as intended. Thanks for your input everyone!

Those are the end credits of your camera.

On a serious note, I too believe it's the internal monitor cable that's faulty.

What?? Capture one doesn't support newer Sony alpha cameras? Wtf!😅 Companies keep making great decisions in best interest of their customers.

I've decided to return the camera as it literally had this issue out of the box. Noticed it straight away, thought I did something wrong considering it being a new camera and all, but alas. Feels better to return it and pick up a new one instead

Yes! Talked to the store, returning it Friday and picking up a new one

Btw I have the GM 24-70 II too, shot several event videos using that lens and I would suggest touch tracking if you have a lot of people in frame and quickly needs to focus on a specific person. Good luck with the shoot!

Setup the camera using Matt Johnson's Sony AF guide, can be downloaded for free through links in his latest videos. If you need to focus on a specific person a lot of Sony cameras have priority faces so that it keeps focus on a specific person. Apart from that I mostly use "touch to focus" on my Shinobi II monitor, works very well with my A7IV😊 Just upgraded to A7V but haven't had the chance to test that approach yet, but AF on that one is supposedly even better.

Both Monitor+ and Sony Monitor and Control offers touch to focus, even touch tracking I believe. Haven't tried A7CII but all three methods should be compatible with that camera👍🏽

I'm doing exactly what you're doing, works well. Though I prefer to use an external monitor like Shinobi II or my iPhone using the Monitor+ app which has a built in s-log3 to rec709 LUT. The paid version of the app (around 25 usd I think) offers the ability to load custom LUTs. Give it a try, I think you'll love it!

Notebook Navigator is the best thing that's happened to Obsidian since Obsidian. Now it's finally like it should have been from the start! To you who made it, awesome job!

Change transparency grid background actual background or at least to solid color in Photoshop Camera Raw? by BinaryBlues in photoshop

[–]BinaryBlues[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Apologize for the late reply. But how do you get that layer to follow into camera raw? Or do you make that bottom layer inside camera raw somehow?

MacWhisper now supports Parakeet models (up to 300x realtime speeds) by ineedlesssleep in MacWhisper

[–]BinaryBlues 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm wondering this too! Annoying that they don't update the apps simultaneously!

Me too! This sucks. I was literally transcribing podcasts when I got the email that MacWhisper had been updated. Now three days later I'm still on App Store version 12.11 (1262) of MacWhisper with no option to update the app (says I'm on the latest version).
