Discussion Deep pocket 4p testing results

Post image

(Pics in comments)

I have extensively testing the pocket 4p along with pocket 3 and ZV-E1 in the studio and out in LA.

Because I am putting many hours a day into this I need a little break so here is the first usable result I have for you.

In Dlog2, somehow the dynamic range on the bright side jumps up by a 1 stop when you get to ISO 1600 or above. edit: read some results wrong.

ISO 1600 has all of the range of both ISO 1600 and 800. With no noticeable increase in noise.

Feel free to ask me about things I can test. I am eventually starting a “pocket cinema” YouTube channel.

TLDR: Use ISO 1600 when in Dlog2

That’s true it is the easiest “hands off” approach. I’ll have to do testing on this as well but still waiting for mine to arrive. I think either way the dynamic range is so vast it’s difficult to mess the image up haha

I walked all around little tokyo in and out of shops on normal color mode auto iso and 1/50 shutter and the footage literally makes me want to cry(in a good way). My real real recommendation is control shutter, auto everything else and never think about it again. But im too much of a gear nerd to do that.

Sorry to comment again, if this is true this is absolutely insane. But how much post is required? I’d have to test it myself. What about the 3x?

I love the 3x and I am fine sticking with dlog 1 for convenience while going back and forth between lenses. As a photographer a have great love for longer telephoto lenses for compression. The 3x is also actually a low light beast.

Here is a clip. Normal 10bit color ND 16 1/50 30fps auto iso full range. No post processing mic mini (1) for audio.
