      It’s such a key factor that doesn’t get talked about much. It’s a great talking point for XH2s Flog 1 vs Flog 2, as well as XH2s vs any other fuji camera… AS WELL as the XH2s vs any other prosumer camera haha.

      Please do get together again and possibly with Serr. I'm a Canon fanboy since the late 80s. Delved in Nikon in the 90s and then went back to Canon. But I got my loved one a FUJI XT3 3 years ago. Ive been planning and saving to fully go to Fuji this past months so I could join her.
      I envy you guys but I'm very thankful for the continued love for Fuji. Fuji is an amazing cam indeed the past 5 years.
      I hope you can someday talk about the Fujinon MK Cinema Series zoom someday as not many people know Fuji has been in the cinema business for years now perhaps not just in the camera until the HS2s. Bless you guys.

    Small correction: recording in linear does not require more data to store it. Linear gamma means that no tonal mapping has been applied to the image after being put through the ADC. The reason we don’t record in linear is because the image it produces is not akin to what the human eye sees, thus the whole purpose of gamma curves.
    The reason we shoot with a logarithmic gamma curve is because it “saves” tonal data that might otherwise be inaccurately translated as the image is read from 12-bit and stored in 10 or 8 bits.
    It’s pretty much like if you raised the shadows on a raw image, exported it to jpeg and raised the shadows some more, and comparing it to raising the shadows on an original jpeg without the aforementioned raw pipeline. The difference in shadow detail would be quite evident, as well as the difference in noise.

    • @thehotdoglover
      @thehotdoglover 6 місяців тому

      Hm, I feel like this point about Linear is a bit misleading. You can’t store the full range of a linear image within a h265 or ProRes file, or something similar. So I mean, I guess what you say is sorta correct in that you “could” encode your h265 in linear and it wouldn’t use more data than LOG encoding, but you also would be throwing away tons of data and your image would never look right.
      It would be more helpful to acknowledge which formats actually CAN store a linear image correctly, and talk about how much massively larger they are than a LOG encoded h265. EXR for example. linear EXR is a great intermediate format for VFX but obviously not ideal for acquisition if file size is even a remote concern.

    My List: 1. I keep getting stumped in Davinci Resolve when setting up my timeline settings and node tree to grade F-LOG2 2. X-H2S, I video musical performances of one or two singers with a piano, autofocus sometimes gets confused. Manual would be hard in these cases.

    • @CineDailies
      @CineDailies  6 місяців тому

      Thanks for commenting! I highly recommend watching the first Fuji talk video! We talk about nod tree structure and a simple workflow .
      As for the AF - this is a classic case of the xh2s needing subject tracking. But in that situation, you'll have to determine what's more important. If the artist performance and facial expressions are important use the eye tracking mode.
      If you need to do a mix of objects and talent, you need split the difference and use multi unfortunately. And dial in the speed and sensitivity

    You asked for questions for the next video. Can you give a simple, bottom line recommendation for which Data Level setting is appropriate (video range or full range)? Or maybe basic scenarios where one is appropriate vs the other? I tried to read up on it and what I found just makes my head spin.
    All I do is record cooking shows for publishing to UA-cam. I use F-Log 2 because I need maximum dynamic range to capture white plates and such on the table, as well as skin tones. Based on what I've read, I "think" video range is the correct option, but I'm not sure and I'm not even sure if it would matter one way or the other for what I'm doing. I edit in FCP.

    Light doubles with every stop so it is exponential scale. Mathematical opposite of exponent is log. For 15 stops you will have values as high as 2^15. The relative difference between 1 and 2 is same as 1 million and 2 million, however you have much more accuracy between higher values i.e. you go from 1 to 2 in a single step but it takes million steps from 1 million. So why should highlights get more accuracy than shadows? Log evens this resolution issue out.

Encoding a video signal using a logarithmic curve or function doesn’t change the size of the output file, it just allows for fitting more dynamic range to be packed within the same video levels.

    Why is there no direct recording to SSD on the X-H2s?
    I am still surprised that the flagship and video-oriented X-H2s camera does not have a direct recording to SSD feature. This feature has become a standard today and even exists on smartphones.
    In addition to the much more reasonable price of SSD compared to CFexpress, direct recording to SSD also has other advantages. This feature can make the workflow much faster and more efficient and even provide higher stability than CFexpress.

    Great video. I'm looking forward to your video on the GFx camera not that I can afford it . Just looking forward to seeing how it works for film making. Also I really really hope we get an update to the xh2s and the xs20 that adds touch to track in video . I also hope they finally add the red record box to the xh2s. I don't understand why it's not there already. Would be cool if they gave us more control over the iso in f log 2 and even 1. I understand why they have it set that way but it's weird how we can adjust any size of data rate for shooting videos in most cases . It's not limited and set more strict like it is in say a sony camera is when you choose different codecs. If that makes sense . What I'm trying to say is why give us training wheels in one case and wide open choices the next ? I have no issues with it suggesting the iso but, why lock us in ?

    • @CineDailies

      I'm not sure if I'm following you on the second part about more control over flog 2 and 1. what else would you need? Pro Res has fix data bit rates, h.264/5 has variety of bit rate options in camera. But with pro res you have 3 data rich options, LT, 422, and HQ.

If you choose h.265 or 4 the rates are adjustable while on my Sony they are not as flexible. I just wished they allowed us to have more flexibility when it came to shooting in f log 1 or 2. Give us more options when it comes to iso like they do with the data rates. Especially on cameras that do not have a clean image at those ISOs like the X-S20.

    What do you recommend for cine lenses? It shouldn't be too expensive :)

      Optically they arent good budget lenses, in my opinion.
      DZO, Nisi athenas, or Carl zeiss Jena, Slr magics are great, 7artistians I would look at

    I make content for clubs and events in that type. Sometimes i switch to capcut to get quick videos out for stories. I don‘t know which codecs i should use. Any help is appreciated. Greetings from germany :)

    It's suprising you didn't touch HLG yet. Even X-T3 has that, better than log.

    There is only one absolutely scientifically accurate proven multiple times undeniable true reason to buy the XH2S over the XH2 for video. ONLY if you primarily shoot 75% of your footage 4k60 in lowlight. That is the ONLY place the XH2S truly outshines the XH2. Other than that, no reason to spend those 500 extra $. No serious filmmaker will need 4k120 for more than a few seconds no serious filmmaker will pan so wildly that Rolling Shutter will be an issue. Enough of this nonsense about the XH2S being vastly superior to its younger brother. It's not! It is better by only one major reason and two minor ones...
