Lots of cooling vents, rumors in the industry is that LSI is same Panasonic used in S1 and S1H, old process one and heats significantly:
Idea with ports attachment part is little strange
Any plans to hack this to 4kp48/50/60 or 6k yet? I'm waiting for the foveon fullframe, but I like this camera.
No, it is impossible.
if the B&H Q/&A is true, then it needs an external HD for 4k 10 bit. this will kill the camera. T5 is recommended.
Does the camera crop when recording 4K CinemaDNG, or does it do a full sensor readout?
4K CinemaDNG recording is possible in either full frame or Super 35/APS-C crop modes. For the full frame mode, it is not entirely clear how they are producing a 4K CinemaDNG RAW file from a 6K sensor output. In the Super35 crop mode, they can do a 1-to-1 pixel readout.
4K CinemaDNG recording is possible in 8-bit, 10-bit, or 12-bit recording formats. 10-bit and 12-bit 4K CinemaDNG require a USB-C SSD for recording, 8-bit 4K CinemaDNG up to 25 fps can be recorded to SD cards (in 1080p, 12-bit CinemaDNG up to 60fps can be recorded to SD cards). These restrictions are actually due to media write speed limitations. Since the CinemaDNG files are uncompressed (likely to avoid RED patents), the data rate for most of the 12-bit and 10-bit CinemaDNG recording modes exceeds the sustained write speeds of even UHS-II SD cards.
In addition to the CinemaDNG recording formats, there are also compressed, H.264 recording modes, but unfortunately, I believe these are all 8-bit 4:2:0.
There is a list of the recording formats and supported media here: https://www.sigma-global.com/en/cameras/popups/bit-rate_supported-media

thx dave, do you think it will allow 10 bit output to a ninja V for prores 10 bit?
Wow 8 bit seems to recover pretty Well from dng. No Wonder why 10bit interna wasnt needed
@endotoxic. negative. if you clip 8 bit blacks, they turn green. see here. https://www.eoshd.com/2019/10/sigma-fp-first-shots-how-does-internal-8bit-raw-compare-to-external-12bit-raw/
You mut be retarded for not exposing correctly to that extend. Recovering on 8 bits is amazing specially with a later FW update issuing that green error.
I see this camera as 12 bit cinema back. For its size and price it's seems to be pretty amazing.
Though I don't find solid tests on its DR. Should be at least s1 like. I don't trust eoshd emotional evaluations.
It seems that the HDMI output is 8-bit 4:2:2 in all resolutions and frame rates. From the specifications page: https://www.sigma-global.com/en/cameras/fp-series/specifications/
Movie Recording Format [HDMI External Output]
Interestingly, the camera can apparently output 1080p @ 120fps over HDMI, which is a bit unusual. Not sure I have seen that in a camera before. Most max out at 60 fps for HDMI output.
you either get a 2400Mbit/s bitrate 12 bit DNG uncompressed(unwieldy filesizes) or 8 bit internal and 8 bit hdmi output. 305MB/sec would last a 1 Terabyte T5 about 55 min. You'd need hundreds of terabytes of storage. so, this camera is basically useless. not even RED uses fully uncompressed for this reason.
Guys just though that RED patent litigation will be faster :-)
Lot of cameras do not have raw only due to this horrible patent.
