- Wanted to put the electronic auto ND of my Z280 to the test and I couldn't believe the results! Local park, astonishingly beautiful footage. Good examples of the Z280's shallow depth of field. Enjoy this very relaxing clip. Getting so much enjoyment out of this camera! More at www.24ktsound.com
I think I just answered my own question from before on another of your UA-cam videos. This is AMAZING!!
they say you can't have a good "blurry background" with this camcorder. I see some nice out of focus backgrounds. So can you have a blurry background from a few meters distance and a bit zooming?
Hi
Thanks for posting this video.
I really struggling getting the shallow depth of field look, with this camera.
Can you share best settings for it ?
Specially shooting talking heads.
Hi Ali. Just saw your post and would like to answer you. Try to keep your subject as far from your background as you can. Try to keep the f-stop as close to 2.8f as possible. Stand back from your subject several feet and zoom in to the subject. Light your subject appropriately. Experiment with filming at different distances from your subject. Farther away and more zoomed in seems to produce a better result. If you need to, with the Z280 you can independently adjust the variable ND filter settings for proper exposure. You may have to increase your lighting if you use higher ND settings. Let me know if that helps, OK?
Thanks, Marc
Thx so much for posting! Was any of this footage graded? Did you cut dB down to -3 or -6? Some highlights are hot but a lumetri tweak in post would recover very easily I’m sure. Thx for your time and talent.
Thx for commenting on my clip. The only change I made in post was to bring the contrast down to the zero line on the waveform monitor. I love deep contrast! I often shoot at -3 dB to cut down a bit on noise. Can you recommend any settings in the camera's 'paint' menu to help with the hot highlights? Would that be the 'knee' setting?
Marc Gold.....best place to get pointers is Alister Chapman . Google knee / Alister Chapman / picture profiles UA-cam has a video. He talks about Picture Profiles and knee adjustment for certain lighting conditions. Are you FCP or premiere pro? Lumetri does a good job in premiere cutting down highlights. Have you gone down to -6 dB? I’m close to purchase as I do Naples Ballet here in SW Florida. Thx again for your time and talent.
Its too bad UA-cam compresses the 10-bit 4:2:2 into 8-bit 4:2:0.
Personally, I bought the Z-190 just about a month ago because I couldn't justify the $4000 price hike of the Z-280.
how to gamma porfil sir
Very soft image quality.
