Further to an earlier thread (Osmo Pocket - Hengistbury Head) I did say that I would cobble together a short video of some of the footage taken on our holiday to Wales a few weeks back. Most of the footage was shot in 4k and scaled down to 1080P for the attached video. Overall I am very pleased with the camera and it is indeed very handy to carry around even with an external mic attached via the adapter.
Thank you. It was the first time I have really given the camera a run out and overall I was pleased with the results. I even (accidentally!) shot some in D-Cinelike which meant (allowed) I could do some colour grading with LUTS but to be honest, the normal colour mode footage came out pretty well. Even though the weather was temperamental for most of the week, ND filters are an absolute must.
On Auto settings it is fine but as soon as I put it in to Pro mode and set it up for the 180 rule then even on a semi bright day everything gets blown out. I was using at least a ND8 on most days and a ND16 when the sun was out. Having ND filters did give me more flexibility on how I set up the camera.
When shooting 24FPS then shutter speed set to 1/48, shooting at 60FPS then shutter speed at 1/120 and so on. Basically the shutter speed should be double the frame rate. Consequently if you are shooting 24FPS at 1/48 on a bright day, the shutter is relatively slow and everything will get blown out without the help of the ND filters.
