    The shutter button can act as a movie button, and the Movie start button can be customized to something else. You gain a custom button yet the Shutter button cannot be customized to anything else so I always start and stop the movie with the Shutter button and map the Movie button to whatever I need easily accessible ;)

      You’re in a different country so are likely set to PAL. No big deal, NTSC (in North America) is different we use 60(you’d use 50) when we use 24(you use 25) and for 120 (you use 100)

    I’m planning to rent one of these, and I won’t have long enough to figure out all of its complexities. I’m planning on getting footage of a lake at night (hopefully with a full moon in the shot). With regard to the aperture setting, ISO setting, and shutter speed, what would you recommend for crystal clear footage with no grain and the sharpest possible focus for everything in the frame? Also, if you set all the settings to exactly the way you want them, will it stay on those settings if you turn the camera off/change out the battery/change the SD card/etc? Thank you. :)

    I just subscribed, in the hopes that you will be the first UA-camr to answer this question. Why do I only see UA-camrs using photo-first lenses? Are cine lenses garbage? I specifically am interested in the Sony 28-135mm f4 PZ lens, for the FX3 and FX6. But I only see people talking about the G-Masters. Are they superior lenses? can you go over the differences and help me make a decision? Why would I buy one or the other, and what are the pros and cons? Thanks for not ignoring my question.

    • @chrisbrockhurst
      @chrisbrockhurst  3 роки тому +2

      This is a great question, in short i think Sony is starting to cater their lenses (especially something like the GM lenses) to both video and photo alike, de-clickable apertures are a big giveaway. BUT cine-glass is crazy expensive and doesn’t boast the same AF as some of the photo lenses (just my opinion) The 28-135mm PZ would be a great lens to go with the FX3 and especially FX6 too, its something i looked at but ended up going with the 24-105 instead.

      I got it to just say iso. I set mine up just like the video but I hated having to switch to the "my dial settings" every time (I think it's custom button 4 from Chris's video) to use the controls I wanted. If you go to Shooting mode -- Exposure Ctrl Type -- change to P/A/S/M Mode. Instead of Flexible exp. mode. This let me also use the front dial as shutter and back dial as f-stop as well as cleaning up my display a little. Chris said you lose access to those buttons on top, but I didn't...

  • @cj_manifestt

    Hey Chris! I recently purchased an FX3 and I noticed that I didn't have access to the same frame rates as yourself. I recently discovered that I had to switch my settings from PAL to NTSC to make the correct changes. Once doing this, I was still unable to get access to true 24fps, 30fps, 120fps, and 60fps. Instead, I have access to 59.94fps, 29.97fps, 23.98fps, and 119.88fps. My firmware version is 3.00. Would you by any chance have any clue how to fix this? Your time is much appreciated, thank you.

    It seems like I'm locked into whatever the white balance was set in custom at the time, and that I can't adjust it!
    Also, I suppose I could set the presets to switch card slots if I want?

      I just got the FX3 and really like it over the A7siii for the form factor. I think the FX3 is also better on a gimbal. It even balances out fine on the Ronin rsc2 so I think if you use you fx6 mostly handheld and on sticks the FX3 would be a good gimbal and stagnant shot bcam. But either are really good. I think if you take pictures at all just get the A7siii for the photo features and the thumb stick on the back vs the top. But of you plan to use it your bcam for 99 percent video work get the FX3. (Sorry for the long winded reply 😅)
