Best Settings’ is a bit of misnomer in that there are only the best settings for your particular intended filming use rather than a one size fits all. I use the BMPCC 4K, so there are specific references to that camera here, but most of the information should apply to all models and hopefully you’ll be able to get a sense of what you’re choosing and why, so that you can make decisions and changes as your filming with the BMPCC progresses. johngwheeler wrote:Would I be better off finding higher capacity LP-E6 batteries? I saw some (cheap) 3200mAH batteries advertised, which if correct, would exceed the capacity of the NP-F550.

I really do not see the danger in this, I think it is purely some kind of lazyness from BM, I understand they do not want to test every external power option and cover it under their warrenty ... Iris wheel and touchscreen slider for manual iris adjustment on electronically controllable lenses, iris button for instant auto iris settings on compatible lenses so no pixel is clipped in film mode.

Colors are predictably filmic and flat. This means anyone looking for an ‘out of the camera, onto YouTube workflow’, this probably isn’t it, even though you do have a number of recording formats that help out with this. Meanwhile, if you’re looking to flex your post processing muscles and make the footage look exactly like you want it to, you have maximum flexibility. Battery Presumably the real run-time of a battery is based on the mAH rating and not the actual type of battery?

What’s also interesting is that the manual electronic focus on MFT lenses requires a very long turn of the focus ring by contrast to, for example, the GH5. It can feel inconsistent and potentially hamper you from getting that pan-focus you want, especially if you’re winging it without any supporting accessories. What’s missing? Focus assist is another useful tool to adjust when you’re getting started. It has different intensities and also lets you change the colour. The screen is quite small and hard to see in bright sunlight, so the focus assist can be really useful in making sure you nail your focus, particularly if you’re shooting people when soft facial features would be really noticeable. An extra benefit to focus assist is it actually lets you see if your footage is becoming noisy, as it starts to highlight the grain as focus points. Again, really useful when it’s difficult to see your screen clearly. 2. StorageIncludes DaVinci Resolve Studio - Professional ed iting, visual effects, colour correction and audio post This is not a scientific test, but rather me being curious as to how those two cameras would compare in terms of image when put side by side. Get pCAM or other similar app like ViewFinder, and you can see the differences between the two cameras directly p, without trying to use a confusing intermediate format. If yiu are trying to match the angle of view on the two cameras, pCAM will do a better job. I am with John. Impossible to draw any conclusions. In the video description you wrote "graded with Film Convert" which for me is not grading but preset fast-fooding.
