Sony Alpha hacks talk
New version of OpenMemories-Tweak is out and has added "ADB Switch" in the release notes. Which I believe is "Android Debug Bridge". May be useful for some? Great to see that this is still continually being improved.

@sleepinghouse I believe it's working on the 6500 in 4K even though the menu option "Disable 4K video recording limit" is disabled. This is also the case with the A7SII/A7RII on the latest firmware. You'd need to check "Di…

I finally received a refund for this last week from Kickstarter. What a nightmare experience. I've used a CAME-TV Single for the past 12 months and I am satisfied with that. Since receiving a refund I can no longer comment on the Kickstarter…

@davjd You may be referring to Ray Roman? If not then check out "Wedding Cinematography Essentials with Ray Roman" at Creativelive. I believe if you apply everything in Ray's training then the rest is up to your experience and natur…

@Vitaliy_Kiselev That's right, I've tried for months to get a refund with no reply to emails, messages or on the Kickstarter board since they honoured refunds for some people towards the start of the year. I've reported them to Kicks…

FCPX gone mad
In Final Cut Pro X go to File, Open Library, From Back-Up... If that doesn't work or you can't even get that far then with FCPX closed, open Finder and go to ~/Movies/Final Cut Backups/ Here you will find every library backup FCPX has…

I love all the example footage but why is every shot stationary?

Will be interesting if OpenMemories still works on the rumoured upcoming menu firmware change.

Does Openmemories still work after this update?

Recovering a .mov 4k file
I know on the Inspire if you boot it up with the SD card in there it repairs the file automatically as long as it hasn't been tampered with. I assume the Phantoms do the same but not 100% sure.

I can't speak on behalf of ma1co but I highly doubt that would ever happen, even if it were somehow possible.

Even the demonstration video states that it's simulated.

I believe it removes the app and possibility some changes but the app can easily be reloaded and applied again. This might not be the case with future firmware updates.

Sony Clear Image Zoom
It's great feature. I have it mapped to the center button and use the wheel to zoom in and out. I use this on the A7S II and A7R II for zooming primes when needed and also for cropping in on the vignette of APS-C lenses while shooting 4K.

Sony A7s II 4K low light beast topic
@HillTop1 I only own 1 native lens. The Sony 16mm APS-C lens. I use the continuous auto focus on this when flying a gimbal. It's cheap, light and fast at f2.8. Other than that I manual focus all my EF glass.

Sony A7s II 4K low light beast topic
@brig I bought 3x GH4s when they first came out and used them for about 2 years on mostly wedding jobs. Towards the end I found that I was unable to get the results I needed with low light performance. In December 2015 I sold all my bodies and mos…

Sony A7s II 4K low light beast topic
On the most current firmware I've had overheating issues on both the A7S II and the A7R II. When this happened they were on a tripod in direct sunlight for about 20-30mins.

I experienced the "Network Connection" error on 10.11 with multiple cameras. Couldn't get it working with the Sony site either. Perhaps the Photos app background process is intercepting the connection as the camera is connected to t…

GH5 Panasonic camera, from anticipation to love or hate
Too late, I couldn't wait anymore and am in the process of selling all my GH4 bodies and M43 glass. I was forced to as I needed something that can deal with extreme low light, this is one and only reason as I loved everything else about the GH…

GH5 Panasonic camera, from anticipation to love or hate
I don't expect this to happen but if the GH5 had a 8MP sensor instead of the 16MP sensor would't the low light performance double? Since you only need 8MP or so for 4K Kind of how the A7S's sensor is able to catch more light than th…

I love everything about my GH4s except the low light abilities. I've used 3 GH4s since they were first available. I've mentioned before even using fast glass like 1.2 doesn't help enough not to mention it's almost impossible to…

They are talking speculation about the specs of the GH5. It's more like a wish list, it's interesting enough but there's no inside information here.

GH5 Panasonic camera, from anticipation to love or hate
Two of the only things I care about would be better low light performance and internal IBIS. I'm quite often forced to use 3200 or 6400 and then neat video to help clean it. Neat video's sole purpose is to save the footage so it become…

43rumors calls it fake and there are lots of illogical facts. 4:4:4 for 4k/5k but only 4:2:2 for 1080p?!

@GeoffreyKenner In that case then I defiantly fall until the run and gun category. I agree in a controllable situation there is nothing lacking in the GH4.

GH5 Panasonic camera, from anticipation to love or hate
I have 3 GH4s and a great selection of lenses which I love but am awfully frustrated with the low light performance and not having IBIS. I was never interested in the A7S because of the lack of internal 4K recording but now with version two it'…

GH4 Firmware 2.3, V-log for $99, Epic Panasonic marketing fail
Does anyone feel that 2 stops over is too much when using Filmconvert? A lot of my footage seems slightly over exposed, I tend to get better results with only 1 stop over.
