How To Learn Filmmaking In Just 14 Days... https://learn.cineguides.net Panasonic LUMIX S1R II - https://amzn.to/3DjyHxp Sony FX3 - https://amzn.to/4iACe9o Av teamed up with Audiio to get you a 70% discount so you can have the best music and sound FX for your videos... Link: https://audiio.com/partner?oid=1&affid=1113 Code: SAVE70 Test Breakdown: All tests were shot in Vlog & S-Log3, except for the CineLike D2 vs S-CineTone comparison. ISO was set to the native value on both cameras unless stated otherwise below each shot. Mistake: I noted 4000 ISO as being the native on the Lumix when it's actually 2000 ISO, but the test still shows both cameras at 4000 ISO, so nothing changes there. Lenses: All tests used the Sigma Art 24-70mm f/2.8 lens with matching Nisi Turtle ND filters. For the AF and IBIS tests, I used: Sony G 16-35mm f/4 & Lumix S 16-35mm f/4 Footage: No grading was applied to the footage, straight out of the camera. Used Color Space Transform to convert log footage to Rec. 709. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. 📧 Get in touch: [email protected]
