    @Rajamalik @Lunalobo75 1799 is the number of seconds (just a second less than 30 minutes) before it automatically stops recording. If people are having trouble with clips that are not spanning but ending in a poorly behaved fashion, than setting it at values under 4 minutes (like 239, 238, etc.) may help.

    Mysteron uses deblocking, Sedna doesn´t, right? Has anybody noticed a difference there already? I just don´t find the time for testing and maybe someone has already cast an eye at that...

    My first post! Hope to contribute something for the community, here are some samples I made with Sedna A Q20 by Driftwood.

  • hunterhunter

    Needed to do some tests with the Kowa anamorphic that I just picked up, so I loaded up Sedna AQ1 A and shot this. Yes, AQ1 A is as good as everyone says. The fine grain and detail blows me away.

    Unplanned shot today. Mainly for cat lovers. Not much creativeness here, but Sedna B worked flawlessly under the gun. Sedna B, first part at 24l and last 3 clips are 24H. Shot through dirty window as it was a quick catch. I'm still hoping to figure a way to have 24H per the hack and get down in the 70Mb/s range for 24L. My hope is to have the lower setting for commercial work live interviews etc. where the higher data rate isn't needed. This was so rushed, I didn't even know what the settings were as I've 2 camera's and have been testing GOP3 on the another camera. Thanks to Driftwood for the tireless work. You are making this camera "be all it can be" and more.

    lumix 20mm 1.7 and olympus 45mm 1.8 picture profile cinema,Final cut X,some colour correction, Driftwood Sedna AQ1.

  • RecklessReckless

    I have been Playing around with slow motion a little bit lately so why not share. Super low light test.

    Settings: Mysteron, Smooth (-2,0,-2,-2), 720p60, FD 24mm at 2.0, 1000iso, quick color correct and de-noise(probably could have gone without).

    It is Mysteron , not Mysterion.

    @xavieramelio Bravo pour un débutant c'est vraiment super...y a juste la shot de côté du visage qui est peut être trop prononcée, tu aurais pu nous montrer un peu des deux côtés de son visage parce que là ça déforme un peu sa face....Mais overall c'est super...dans les scènes de danse tu es à quel ISO c'est super beau et sharp et pas beaucoup de grain....Quelle lentille?

  • xavieramelioxavieramelio

    I am total beginner, a lot to learn, I shoot this interview with Sedna C Q20, I am happy about some of the images, I am doing this for a friend and using the project to learn and try the patches. Thank you VK and Driftwood and everyone else in this forum, I am about to load Mysterion in a few minutes...

  • liquidifyliquidify

    @cjdincer thanks for the upload. Mysteron looks good and your framing picture composition is nice. I am amazed at the lack of noise from 1600iso. any relative observations?

  • rajamalikrajamalik

    mysterion is so sharp too,.. I feel almost the same like I felt when I tested Sedna aaq1 ,..amazing patch thank you sir @driftwood

  • cjdincercjdincer

    @No_SuRReNDeR I pull the bitrate down to 146mbps for the Sandisk 30mbs 32GB card. and 24H shows 28m39s, 24L shows 56m55s. spans hassle free in 24L mode for 30m and more. but I have unchecked the time limit, and checked the 30min removal to be able to use the whole card. spanned file size is 4.29.

  • TifoseTifose

    @Meierhans Hahaha

  • cjdincercjdincer

    F1.4, 25shutter, iso1600, Lens : Minolta MC Rokkor-PG 50mm F1.4, Sandisk 30MBs 32GB Card. Just lowered the 24H to 146mbps, (close to ProRes 422 ) which is a default codec for me. no CC, no grading just cut in FCPX and exported as AVCHD mov file thus uploaded to youtube:

    on lower iso it gets better and butter. Thank you VK and Driftwood.

  • rajamalikrajamalik

    @lunalobo75 if i need to change it ,..i should decrease or increase how many second or minutes it reflects??? any idea bro???

  • lunalobo75lunalobo75

    @rajamalik last one: Recording limit=1799 , to my understanding, "politely" and "gracefully" stops your recording when it cannot span and keep the file usable. You can change whatever you like and test the results. Alright - gotta go!

  • lunalobo75lunalobo75

    @rajamalik I already have in After effects (in the RGB channels), and I like Mysteron, my man; especially the fine noise grain in the shadows. If you like Orion v4B and Sedna then more power to you. You found the boat you want to sail on. I have to shoot some scenes today and the rest of the week, and I'm happy with mysteron...which was my point, since I'm not telling anyone to use Mysteron over any other patches/settings that they like. Anyways, glad you have enthusiasm, makes this forum a better place.

  • rajamalikrajamalik

    can we modify this?? what it does actually? (Recording limit=1799)

  • rajamalikrajamalik

    lets try Mysteron vs Sedna AAQ1 vs Orion V4b ???? in shoot and in post,... shall we do??? @lunalobo75

  • lunalobo75lunalobo75

    @rajamalik VK, Driftwood and other's work on GH2 make the camera a powerhouse for us all. YOU as an artist make the content shine- Just SHOOT, CUT, and GROW with your skills as a storyteller. Those skills will surpass the bitrate, sharpness and noise discrepancies with the different patches.

    If you are still wanting them to answer you ("IF" they do, sometimes they won't, bro), then wait until they release their announcements.

    If you have been working with all these patches, which I know you have, then keep it up and let us know what you think, that's all I'm saying. What's exciting is that everyone is dialing in with what settings and patches they like, like old film stock choices. As a filmmaker (even if you are an amateur), learn what you like by what you like. I've seen you give advice to others, so I know you have settings you like. Personally, I like cinema and smoothon the GH2 with Mysteron now, and I like Orion 4b and cbrandin 44 and 66 patches.

  • rajamalikrajamalik

    @lunalobo75 can this be increased if i am using 95 m/s card??? Recording limit=1799?????????

  • rajamalikrajamalik

    @lunalobo75 did you tried them in post production. each patch differs in response to exposure saturation selective saturation etc.....you know orion v4b is more sensitive than any other patch in post. i dont know about other softwares but with vegas(myself) and aftereffect(with a friend) i am sure it does.....

  • lunalobo75lunalobo75

    @rajamalik if you read my post near the top of this thread, I did test all those, plus my SPMBU V2 Sedna A q1 matrix Hybrid patch. Again, it's subjective, but I like Mysteron and I'm happy to go shoot with it on some green screen today. Salud!
