Highlight rolloff: Resolve can change gamma using colour space transform to get underexposed shadows back. Then resolve studio has nice noise reduction for R6 underexposed. Sharpness: Can look into edge detect softening strategies in resolve.
But remember how bad the dynamic range and canon log is was on the eos R! Just because there are better cameras out there, it dosnt make the one you own bad. I think dynamic range is only one piece of the puzzle in creating high quality cinema. Keep crushing it man. Your footage is looking great 🤙
Yes this is an upgrade from the R for sure! I can’t help nerding out on my cameras and when I notice something’s not quite there, like the dynamic range and the highlight roll off, it bothers me and I start looking for better cameras xp I’ll have try some sort of mist filters first, because they might help with the highlights, before I start considering switching cameras again. I’m supper happy you liked the footage though!! 😊
With the appropriate choice of older EF lenses, sharpness can be reduced, although AF in video won't be quite as good. (I also use vintage lenses with manual focus, even more organic.). There are also other types of filters for existing lenses, but I am less of a fan of that those.
That‘s a good point, but I‘d like a solution where I can keep using my RF lenses, because I don‘t want to loose money selling those or spend money and getting ef versions of the rf lenses I already have. That sounds wasteful in all ways. I need a way to get sharp footage when I need that, and softer footage when I want a more film/documentary style on the RF lenses I have. That way I can keep my setup small and minimalist. At the moment, it seems like getting the c70 would be the next step to solve this problem, since it produces softer footage, has great DR and can make use of my RF lenses. But before that, maybe playing around with some mist filters to see if they can help with the highlights on my R6 II is the way. Why aren‘t you a fan of filters?
I almost always buy used, preferably pristine items, so I basically never use value on any of the gear I own (unless I damage it, even then I usually get close to even) Unless prices hit an all-time low for a daily fire sale on new stuff. For instance: got my (2nd) R6 Mark II for 2300€ with cashback - does not sound special, until you realise it comes with an RF 24-105/4L kit lens that I just sold for 900€ (that one had a disappointing squealing noise when tracking AF was used for stills, I had multiple copies, quality control on kit lenses seems inconsistent) so the body only cost me 1400€ (1st R6II wasn't bad either for 1700€, would have bought more if I had the resources). Then I also got multiple R6 bodies on Black Friday for 920€ each, also a steal, they have to be worth a few hundred more currently. And finally, with the imminent arrival of the R5 II I can be a lookout for an R5 again, which I still prefer to the R6 Mark II, having it sold at the worst time before the 1.6 firmware (also paid a joke price just a few months after release, guy was probably fed up with error messages, his SD card was the culprit, nothing wrong with the R5) It does have a slightly more organic look, for lack of a better word in 24p, where it downamples from 8K (sharpness setting 0) And as a hybrid, handling is more sublime than the R6 series (programmable C3 video mode for pressing the record button in stills mode, photo and video modes are independently treated and remembered, meaning I can go from C1 photo to C2 video with just one click, I can disable other modes instead of spinning the wheel of fortune on an R6 II. Sounds like a tiny thing, but it is miles better. So, after a while, I tend to flip them, only to realise later that certain items should have been kept, lenses hold their value steady, and deals on EF lenses seem to be scarce. Well, the problem with filters come into play when I have to stack multiple ones. Yes, ND+mist combined ones do exist, but most filters are hideously expensive for what they are(well, at least I didn't pay new prices because they can be hard to resell if it is not the "right" type, size, etc.), and having so many vintage lenses I am almost guaranteed not to have the right size, adapter rings are also a pain etc. Very fiddly and costly at the end of the day. (Might be the C70 one day, saw it for a very good price once, but that is rare, and loosing IBIS won't be the best) I really need to start scaling down vintage stuff, but the difficult part is that they all look quite fantastic for video. So it's not like i oppose to filters, I just think the effect of those lenses cannot be replicated to the same degree and they are getting harder to obtain by the minute. Cheers, Adam@@juljanskurani
