October 2016 v4 8 Resetting the Camera It is good practice to reset the camera when you get it so all the setting are correct. Menu > System > All reset (Execute when prompt to) Follow the on screen instructions. Do look at setting the clock to the correct time Formatting the Cards Make sure before you start filming that you format the cards so you do not have other people’s footage. Menu > Media > Format Media > A or B (Execute when prompt to) Initial Set Up Frame rate setting Menu > System > Country > Pal Record Format This defaults to 1920 x 1080 50i , this is correct if you are shooting for TV broadcast. Anything else change to 1920 x 1080 25p 50. Menu > System > Rec Format > Video Format
October 2016 v4 9 Shooting Mode Custom Mode (Easiest) • Conventional video camera operation, what you see is what is recorded (Page 13) CineEI Mode (Advance) • Film style shooting mode, flat, low contrast recording with a wide dynamic range. Contains lots of information to then grade in post-production. • CineEI is a more complex work flow and what you see in the viewfinder may not be what is recorded. (Page 31 for more details) To change the base settings Menu > System > Base Settings > Custom or CineEI
October 2016 v4 10 To set mode Menu > Base Setting > Shooting Mode > Custom / CineEI (Execute when prompt to) Colour Space In custom mode this is greyed out. But in CineEI mode you have the following options. S-Gamut/Slog2 S-Gamut3.Cine/Slog3 S-Gamut3/Slog3 S-Log 2 and 3 have the same dynamic and contrast range. The difference is with the colour space where these capture the most colour. S-Gamut3.Cine records a smaller colour range that S-Gamut/Slog2 and S-Gamut3/Slog but it is still a larger range than rec709, that has a similar shape to rec709 that makes it a very natural colour space that then makes it easier to grade in post production.
