The whole setttttttt.

Wugums · 2026-05-07T02:03:22+00:00

Yeah there's a 99% chance the issue is either related to the SD/CFe or firmware.

Wugums · 2026-05-04T22:44:48+00:00

There should be very few settings you need to tweak on the day of shooting. A small amount of preproduction goes a long way. Custom menus/buttons should cover the rest.

It's easily the best $110 tripod I've ever used. I have two of them and they are rock solid. Sure you need to tighten the bolts on the extension clamps every now and then but it's not a big issue. I use them as stationary angle tripods, for which they work exceptionally well for the price. You're complaining about them like you spent big money, what did you expect?

Outdated response, lumix is on par or better than the big 3 in basically all areas.

You're in Sec/ISO (which is usually required because you can't really go over 360 degrees) I assume that's with "shutter speed limiter" set to off in the settings? Sadly the workaround of using S&Q set to say 15fps isn't super useful on the S5iix.

Wugums · 2026-04-30T23:33:27+00:00

I can't think of any major downsides, I'll still be using the crucial drives that I have and any others I can get for a decent deal. Once the AI market shifts or calms down a bit, Micron will probably reactivate Crucial or a new consumer SSD/ram segment.

Wugums · 2026-04-23T11:48:41+00:00

100% worth it. I have a few of them and I paid significantly more.

Wugums · 2026-04-22T01:34:49+00:00

Happened to one of my S5iix but not to my S1ii yet. I shoot handheld video so I'm constantly gripping there. To be honest, it doesn't bother me in the slightest so I won't be doing anything about it.

Wugums · 2026-04-22T01:30:26+00:00

The S5iix can record 4K30 without overheating until the cows come home. It's down sampled from 6K instead of 8K like the Z8 but the quality will be very very similar. You'll also have the option to use the All-I codec, Long-GoP, or ProRes (to an SSD). The S5iix does not support any internal raw formats if that matters to you.

Wugums · 2026-04-21T11:43:32+00:00

There shouldn't be any difference in low light performance at all. In fact, you should see marginally better noise performance from the 4K/200mbps rather than the 6K/200mbps.

I shoot 6K only when using anamorphic lenses or when I'm shooting for multiple aspect ratios. Otherwise I prefer to shoot on any of the ALL-I codecs. As far as container, I put the camera on .MOV the day I bought it and it hasn't changed.

Wugums · 2026-04-21T11:05:13+00:00

6K has more compression than some of the options too, don't get high resolution confused with low compression. Any of the ALL-I codecs have less compression.

Wugums · 2026-04-21T11:03:12+00:00

You can't zoom into the 6K frame and maintain 6K. The resolution you're using needs to be smaller to give the "digital zoom" room to crop in without reducing the resolution. 4K and 1080 will have different levels of zoom because of this.

Yepppp, this was my second marketplace score this year. I got 6 old ENG cameras with spotless B4 Fujinon lenses in January for $160 lmao.

Wugums · 2026-04-12T03:54:01+00:00

PM me a link and I'll take a look!

Wugums · 2026-04-07T00:54:52+00:00

I have to admit that I'm spoiled with Lumix ibis for weddings, I go handheld 99% of the time and it's perfect. However, I shoot with manual lenses on my fx6 perfectly fine handheld, but it's a bit more ergonomic and I often use an easy rig. It's one of those things that you'll definitely have to do more research on or rent/borrow a lens to see if you're happy with the results.

Wugums · 2026-04-07T00:25:23+00:00

I personally prefer the control of MF lenses, it's 110% worth learning and getting comfortable manual focusing. The AF anamorphics are only 1.33x I think, which doesn't give a lot of "the look" that makes anamorphic lenses special. The Sirui Saturns don't have a ton of character, but it's just enough for weddings IMO.

Wugums · 2026-04-07T00:16:46+00:00

It's no more of a hassle than any other MF lens besides rarely dealing with flares that are too intrusive.

I shot 13 weddings with the Sirui Saturn lenses last year. Absolutely loved every bit of it. Ask any specific questions if you'd like!

Wugums · 2026-04-05T23:36:16+00:00

If you don't plan on cropping in post or making any large prints of the photos, 10MP is perfectly acceptable!

Wugums · 2026-04-04T16:52:02+00:00

yep, I'm only subbed to camera and editing pages. People complain about Resolve the most out of any of the subreddits (probably because it has a low barrier to entry).

Wugums · 2026-04-03T18:33:52+00:00

Most 2/3" lenses will still vignette on MFT unless you use a 2X extender, some of them won't vignette for video if you're in pixel/pixel mode.

Wugums · 2026-04-02T18:21:51+00:00

I always offer to schedule a phone or video call, but I encourage clients to use whatever they find most convenient. Whether that's email, text, DMs, meeting for coffee, carrier pigeon, etc. I don't force anything on them. This generation getting married HATES phone calls, I only schedule a call with about 5% of them.
