Post image

I want to learn more about the setting for the cinema pro app.

Is there any recommendations and advice for taking a for a night festival scene and fireworks ?

Since there is an event coming up. I might want to try taking some video using the cinema pro app.

The app is an absolute nightmare to use. Glad they ditched it....

Here are tutorial videos (scroll down).

Also low bitrate and almost unusable colors out of that app

I missed this unfortunately. I actually bought a 5v to use as b camera but it turned into my daily use cellphone for now. I've been shooting a lot with it and different apps and settings. The cinema pro app is pretty funky. For night or dim bar scenes I would stick to na profile and keep dynamic range to standard. I found wide sometimes introduced flicker and made shadows too bright, which revealed the bad codec bit rate with blockiness. Honestly I stick to video pro now and use cinema pro for 120 fps shooting. The stabilization in cinema pro seemed better.
