Hi chadwin, I noticed that the slowed down footage looks choppy and I think that's due to your wrong shutter speed. i think you should've been shooting at 1/120 because you are shooting at 60fps. Your shutter speed should almost never be lower than your fps.
No its not the shutter speed. Its looks more like he put it in S&Q mode with a project rate at 60fps and but his recording rate is like 30 still. Then he slowed the footage down thinking it was 60, but it was actually just 30. not a shutter speed issue.

I think I watched this video once before, but I was multi-tasking at the time. Revisiting it this evening was an eye-opener. Glad I am subscribed to your channel.
The FX3 and Ninja V combination allows for a compact rig set-up with a camera that breaks existing boundaries and unleashes extended creative possibilities to creators. Add to this the ability to record data-rich 16-bit RAW from the FX3, which is then compressed and recorded in the Ninja V as 12-bit ProRes RAW from the camera’s large sensor at 4.2K up to p60.
Yeah, it's absolutely incredible the cameras that we have access to now. It's really such a powerful combination. And yes, I totally failed to mention that it goes from 16 bit to 12bit recorded and finally 10 bit when exported as ProRes from your editor. Then who knows what destructive compressing youtube does to it after uploading haha!
Great stuff and very timely. My FX3 arrives later today and plan on doing a lot of shooting on it with my Ninja V. Looking forward to more FX3 stuff from you!
Nice! I bet you're excited to finally get your hands on the FX3! You're gonna get some great footage with the Ninja V. It's been hard to get one from a lot of places, but nowhere near as backordered as the FX6.
@@GeraldBertramPhotography yeah, I know exactly how you feel! I've been watching B&H closely for the FX6, but it's been out for like 2 months now....Glad you finally got your FX3 ordered!
Looks like your FX3 was still set to 23.976 fps settings, while the ninja v was set to 60fps! Giving you about 36 useless duplicate frames per second. Make sure you set your shutter speed to double your frame rate! (1/125 on FX3 currently.) Would be so nice if sony just gave us global shutter via firmware update 🤞🏼
I am going to give this editing program a try. I have Lightworks, but find color grading to be a little tricky. This looked great, and I love the mask technique. I was duplicating your specs except for the shutter speed. I set to 120 because shutter speed typically should be double the frame rate. But you can create some beautiful stills from these videos as well.
Great video! I own both cameras and I've found the FX3 to give a richer, smoother and more colorful image than the A7SIII. I've done side by side tests and although subtle the difference is obvious. The camera images are not identical as some reviewers have said. Cheers!
That’s very interesting! I haven’t been able to test them side by side, i can only compare my old a7siii footage. But I’ve been very impressed with the look of the FX3, so I’m happy to hear that it looks even better through your experience.
Interesting both cameras use same processors & censors just difrent housing Sony them self said in numerous articles this two are identical when it comes to image quality & dynamic range.
@@Arri. where did Sony say that both cameras are identical? UA-camrs have said it but there is no official mention from Sony. Even though the innards may be the same, the FX3 has had the image processing tweaked a little to make the image slightly richer.
@@chadwin I love your footage I also sold my Red Raven and picked up two sony bodies one being the FX3, and I've been fortunate to have use it on three narrative projects. I also use the Ninja V for ProRes Raw and false color. I was wondering do you ensure that your skintones are in the green around 55 ire? I find the using Cinematch and converting to Arri or Red color space gives me the best looking image and avoids the Rec709 look.
@@terralukemedia8691 that’s awesome! I know the RED Raven gets really great footage, but the full frame and AF of the FX3 is nice to have! Sounds like you’ve got a great setup and method for color grading. I do try to expose my skin tones between 50-70 IRE yes
I've been using the Ninja V with the A7R V and absolutely loving it. I do expose for the skin tones not the highlights like it seems you've done. It seems like all of your grade are really dark in medium shadows. Slog3 has way more flexibility with highlights. Yes you should protect them but not at the cost of your subjects face being way too dark.
Hi Chadwin! That was a great introduction. I am considering using ProRes Raw with GFX100S or FX6 but wasa bit afraid. The best would possibly be using ArriRaw but much more expensive, I did like that ProRes Raw is available in much much less expensive cameras, though I don't like their proprietary way of handling stuff (Apple). Thanks a lot
Can I ask about the highlights? They're cooked in the clouds in most shots - is that workflow error or is the limit of the dynamic range or did you just not specifically expose for them originally? Cheers
ya, I have both (FX 3 and V+ Pro), and have only done a few test in the RAW and it looks insane. but even shooting at the ProRes 4K mode is insane. the raw is just more insane. I think it's causing me to rethink lighting and other aspects as it seems to look more "lifelike' as in, the way the eye sees contrast light etc
that's awesome! Sounds like you have a really great setup. This camera really captures some amazing footage, especially in RAW, it's just a lot more work to grade for sure! Lighting is everything!!
You’re correct. It downsamples it to 12bit when recording on the Atomos. But I think it’s still a higher quality look then starting at 10bit only or something.
um.. wouldn't the 180 degree rule mean you should shoot 1/125 for 60fps? Why are you shooting at 1/50 for these slow-motion clips? Am I missing something?
Make sure you have "HDMI Info Display" setting turned OFF. When this setting is OFF, it enables the "Clean" HDMI out, and will utilize the full display.
The Tokina lens is great! It works best on a crop sensor, but it does work well on full frame like the FX3 past 40mm. I don’t typically charge by the hour, but by the project.
@@chadwin thanks for the reply chad, definitely will consider, but leaning towards the sigma cinema line, i wonder if the fx3 with a cinema lens can produce that "film cinematic commercial" look that a bmpcc or red komodo can bring and nice dude, i think thats the best too

Sorry for the confusion, this has tripped a few people up now. Haha It’s a typo, on the video I wrote 1/50, but I actually shot at 1/120. Keeping the 180 degree shutter rule
Dude... if you're going to do an image quality test/comparison change the shutter speed, you can work in exact 1/3rd's of a stop to match Ei/ISO changes. The VND is variable outside of control...
Have you guys suffered from the major color shifting on all prores Raw footages by Ninja V with Sony mirrorless? If I switch to prores compressed format, there will be not this issue anymore……
This is a bad Video, probably made to get affiliate income by selling expensive cameras and Monitors. Have you ever Shot on RED? This is a big difference to real RAW. You should have show visual comparisons to the internal 10bit Slog, the ProResRAW and RED footage to make the things you say proven, but you didnt. 12bit doesnt give you more dynamic range than 10bit when recorded in Slog. One can see that all the highlights that Blow out in your footage that are blown out cant be recovered in the grade which would be the case in true RAW recording.
Sorry for the confusion, I did shoot with shutter speed at 1/120 but accidentally put 1/50 as my camera settings in the video out of habit since I’m usually shooting in 24fps.
hi, nice video. but I would not recomend to put the blacks to the zero on a day time, because in a real life you will not see so much black in the shadows at daylight too. :)
Yeah, the 180 shutter rule is important and I used it in this video. I accidentally put 1/50th on screen because that’s usually what I’m running in 24fps. But on the day I was at 1/125 for 60fps.
14+ stops of dynamic range and RAW footage, yet you couldn’t save your wives skin tones? All the gear, no idea. Grab yourself an OG BMPCC and learn to shoot and edit before you give out terrible advice on the internet.
You’re totally right!! 180 is just an equation. I wrote the wrong thing in the video, i didn’t shoot at 1/50, I shot at 1/125 cause it was 60fps. 😂 🤷🏼♂️ woops
why on earth would you shoot in 16bit HDR then smash it down to 8bit SDR. such a backwards and anti foward thinking way of doing things. i understand that youtube seems to hate HDR content but shooting HLG gives you both SDR(for now since youtube likes making it hard) and HDR. please help me understand why people want to take their amazing footage and make it crap..
Well, the FX3 outputs 16bit, the ninja V records it as 12bit, and then you can only export it as 10bit from FCP in Rec709. Which is what I did, and the 10bit still looks nice! The advantage is you get all the color information, but make it viewable for every device without the need for HDR. I still need to test shooting and delivering in HLG, I’m not sure how UA-cam will handle it.
@@chadwin thanks so much for personally responding, davinci resolve can output 10 bit just fine I thought all the other softwares would be the same. I would highly recommend HLG it is basically the future. 10 bit beautiful HDR straight out of the camera...into a properly setup DaVinci. Why can't this stuff be more straightforward.
The Sony FX3 with ProRes RAW has such great dynamic range it honestly looks just as good as RED footage. It’s incredible! What do you think?
The dynamic range is always the same, no matter if recorded 10 bit internally or 12 bit to the Atomos. The only thing that changes is color.
Did you use the standard SLOG 3 or did you tweak it to better suit your filming technique?
Also did you under, over, or expose just right?
@@FamJammersFilm I actually just exposed as normal, not over or under. Really I kept any highlights from blowing out. I’ve found that if I expose it pretty normal in camera, i have no issues or need for 1 stop over or under
