    There's another downside of using the gyro. You'd need to film at a much higher fps, since the stabilization tends to artifact on blur. So, you loose motion blur, and you will struggle more in low light environments.

    Dude, the slide you moved to remove noise is the noise COLOR slide, that only removes the color noise created by the pixels of the sensor. You have to use the slide "Luminance" to actually remove noise.

    • @TechThroughTheLens
      @TechThroughTheLens  9 місяців тому +1

      I like the regular grain and texture of the image. just don't like the color artifacting. removing the texture also makes it look too smooth and plastic like and requires compensation by adding sharpness

    Its great but the rolling shutter is horrible. It would have been my favorite camera if it had decent rolling shutter performance. It is a 7/10 hybrid camera for me. On photo side there is not much more you can want except a faster burst rate like 15 frames per second considering canon r6 is super fast. But video side heavy crop on 4k 60 and bad rolling shutter. No open gate option. Just can’t give it higher then 7 for that reason especially with so many options today. Very good camera cant go wrong with it

      @TechThroughTheLens  Місяць тому +1

      So in cameras they are called Optical low pass/ OLPF filters. AA is a a term in 3d graphics. But they sony cameras do have a OLPF. The moire is not an issue that was something that was solved for most cameras in 2012. You can always add a rear lens filters from a company like kolari to help add diffusion later on.

    "Highest resolution for a midrange camera..." - yes
    "...Without going into something ridiculously expensive..." - well then you are not talking mid-range anymore are you? And if you are gonna start talking about R-series, you can get an Rii or Riii with higher, full frame BSI sensors, and almost identical dynamic range and practical levels of noise.
    So if resolution is all that matters at this price point, get an A7Riii instead.

    Do you think that 4K 60fps does affect the aperture? I mean, when using Super35 we know that the focal length changed by 1.5 factor, 24mm becomes 36mm. What about the aperture, when opened up to f/2.8 will it record with the f/5.6 effect?
