    Still shoot on my A7iii and I love it. 4k/24p oversampling does a grait job, though I mainly use it for still objects. For panning, gimbal movements and children playing I use 1080/60p which is still a decent quality. And sure X-T4 and GH5 may have a supperior video recordign specs, but they are not full frame snesors and A7iii totally beats them in low light and when you need that shallow DOF for the best cinematic looks.

      We believe you can push the 8 bit footage a lot if you learn to understand it's limits in post. It may also take longer to get you're desired look with 8-bit but at the end of the day you can get very similar images. Remember getting lighting correct plays a huge factor in this! and yes a flip out screen for vlogging or even filming youtube videos would've been super helpful

    I would like to ask you that you have used colour mode - ITU.709 MATRIX where almost every other tutorial says either SGamut 3 or SGamut 3.Cine so could you please explain which one is the best for cinematic colour rendering?

    • @meliorstudios
      @meliorstudios  7 місяців тому

      Hey thanks for watching! This is simply for the Sony A7iii. The Sony A7iii has really bad magenta shift which is very hard to color grade. This is partly due to Sgamut3 which doesn’t work too well as a color space on the A7iii. A way of getting around this magenta shift is using ITU.709 matrix instead. There will still be a magenta shift but much less than when using sgamut. Thus, making it a lot easier to color grade. I hope that makes sense. Majority of the Sony A7iii videos on out UA-cam are shot on slog2 and itu.709 matrix if you wanted to see more examples

    • @meliorstudios
      @meliorstudios  2 роки тому +2

      Hey Filipe, thanks for taking the time watch our video! To answer your questions, 1. We used to own a canon camera before we upgraded to the A7iii and already owned the canon glass, hence it was cheaper for us just to buy an adapter. 2. If we would recommend one lens to anyone buying the A7 series it would be the Sony 35mm 1.8 and if you have the bigger the 1.4, incredibly versatile lens as you’ll be able to see in the video examples in the video. 3: yes, in low light 2.8 is often not shallow enough to let in enough light and so we often use the 35mm 1.8 in those situations. We hope that answers the questions:)

    do you use any filter? and why the canon lens? is it because it's cheaper and smaller of because of the look of it.?

    • @meliorstudios
      @meliorstudios  2 роки тому +1

      we often use a circular variable ND filter to reduce the amount of light help control the exposure and sometimes a black pro mist 1/4 filter though we haven't used this in over a year. And fot the canon lens. We used to have a canon 6d where we bough the canon lens. So when we upgraded to the Sony A7iii it was cheaper to get an adapter for the canon glass than buy the sony equivelent lens. That was the main reason for it!

    I know talent is paramount but I’m also thinking about cost to quality. I’ll mainly be shooting architectural/interior videos.
    Thank you, subscribed

    • @meliorstudios
      @meliorstudios  6 місяців тому

      Hey! As a video camera I’d say the GH5 is superior to the A7iii. It has a lot of features which the A7iii doesn’t and produces great Colors. Tho saying this, you can achieve great visuals fro the A7iii too and have great plethora of lenses to choose from
      However it has a micro four thirds mount which is great but if your thinking of upgrading further in the future to Sony/canon etc it may be.

I would use my tilt shift lens for certain architectural videos but it’s hard to find an adapter that works with tilt shift lenses. This is the only reason I would purchase the Nikon z6ii for lens compatibility (but compromise some video quality)

      Mad. Just picked up one in good condition with vlog & a cage for £540. Bought a bunch of accessories including a good Card for 4K and still £900. Could easily go up to £1300 including a lens and have an ultimate rig setup. But time being I can still use it until I invest more! Thanks for the recommendation to get me kickstarted.

    Hey guys! Congrats on your channel! I'm really enjoying your videos and tutorials over here in Bavaria.
    A question about the boxing match that you mention in this video: Do you also over expose HLG3 when shooting in a more extreme light situation ?
    I'm still struggling with artefacts (wich I first mistook for noise that I thought i could get rid of in da vinci studio) when I shoot a very contrasty scene with HLG3.
    Do you have any tips on that?
    thanks & keep up the great work!

    • @meliorstudios
      @meliorstudios  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks Milltown! With HLG3 We perfectly expose so +/- 0 stops (not overexposed or underexposed) When shooting in bright conditions we often switch to S-log2 and in darker situations we choose to shoot in HLG3. Artifacts can be annoying but if you have the studio version of Resolve you can use the denoise tool which is often very powerful and can help remove the artifacts.
      We hope that's helpful!

    Hi ! I have a7iii for two months ,great camera, I am pleased with it and the only complain is that my previous a6300 had better autofocus at least with 50mm lens.Now i am planning to buy another one ,to sybstitude my g9 and I am betwwen Fuji xt4 and lumix s5.Which camera have you in mind to buy?

    • @meliorstudios
      @meliorstudios  2 роки тому +1

      Hey Periklis, which 50mm lens are you using, as the autofocus on the A7iii with native Sony lenses is incredibly reliable from what we’ve found. We believe the S5 and xt4 are very well matched up! If you’re wanting to do a lot more photography too we’d recommend the xt4 but if you’re leaning more towards video the S5 is probably more future proof!

    • @PERIKLISTSINTZAS

      bro i have the cheap one 1.8 ,but is the only lens that compined with my previous sony a6300 did faster job.And yes i beleive too as you said ,that s5 is better option for video ,the only thing I am thinkink of buying fujixt4 is the 240 fps (for weddings in some cases) and the color science of fuji even though lumix s5 has great colors too

    • @meliorstudios
      @meliorstudios  2 роки тому +1

      @@PERIKLISTSINTZAS we have experience with the X-T4 but not with the S5. The colours that come out of the Xt4 are usually very full and clean, and like you say the slow motion is quite nice, and very important when doing weddings. Both are excellent cameras however, we’re intrigued to learn what you choose in the end!

    hello guys, and thanks first of all for everything. I would like to ask you why when I try to grade the clips, and I try to add contrast, use the primary curves, white balance, a black vignette is always show up on the image, and the contrast isn’t uniform throughout the image. Why ? I do some mistake ? has it ever happened to you? I film with Sony 35 1.8 slog2 ITU

    • @meliorstudios
      @meliorstudios  2 роки тому +2

      Hey Paolo, thank you for taking the time to watch! A black vignette will usually show up due to the lens but we also use the Sony 35mm f1.8 but we never get a vignette, so that’s strange. However if you do push the image too much or increase the contrast too much you may get a vignette, that’s usually the case. This usually happens to use with some of our lenses when we try to increase the contrast past a certain point of the image. We hope that’s helpful

    Hello! So I'm planning to buy an a7iii as my second camera ever, after my a6000 (But I've used other cameras at work, I'm using the fuji xt3 right now)
    Since I can only spend 2k euros, is this camera a good option?
    Or should I go for an a6500?
    Apart from the 16 50mm kit lens. I've only got a 30mm sigma 1.4 apsc.

    • @meliorstudios
      @meliorstudios  Рік тому

      Hey man! Sorry for the slow reply, did you end up choosing what camera you wanted to get? I would definitely recommend the A7iii to the A6500, simply for the body shape, battery life, cleaner sensor and the full frame imagery you're getting, tho that's just personal preference for us. But if you only have APSC glass it may wiser to go with the A6500

      Better stabilisation for handheld work can be nice. Compared to larger cinema cameras it’s hard to add lots of weight to a rig to reduce micro jitters. Can’t wait to see what you decided in the future! And charger always charging haha 🔋
