      Why, with my Sony 18-105, does my image have a horrible vignette in 4k?

    • @CamberFilmSchool
      @CamberFilmSchool  2 роки тому +1

      Because you’re using a lens designed for an APS-C camera on a full frame camera. You’ll have to shoot in APS-C mode in order for there to be no vignetting.

This will allow you to choose from the following: Movie, Still, S-Cinetone, Cine1, Cine2, Cine3, Cine4, ITU709, ITU709 (800%), S-Log2, S-Log3, HLG, HLG1, HLG2, & HLG3.

      You’re right! There is no single setting that makes a video “cinematic.” But they are tools to help you get closer to that “look”. Setting aspect ratio markers is a tool that helps you frame your shots based on how your ending aspect ratio may be, choosing a frame rate is a tool to give you a certain look for your video, choosing among various autofocus and touchscreen settings are tools to help you with the image to get a certain look, choosing apertures for various depths of field depending on your scene is another tool, setting the proper white balance is a tool to make sure your image looks as close to real life as possible (or not if you want a different look), etc, etc, etc… there’s no ONE setting that makes a video or camera more “cinematic”; it’s how you use it.
