ricardo de gracia Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Where can I find information for getting the best results out from the EX3 to record a new TV series here in Spain? * lenses, 2/3 adpators, tests * external hard disks, wire settings... * remote control over signal, iris, etc... * hand held configuration...with all that stuff...

David Williams Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 The DVInfo XDCAM EX forum would be the closest. Search there. http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/sony-xdcam-ex-cinealta/ Unless you already have a bunch of 2/3s, I wouldn't bother. EX3 comes with a 1/2 adapter, Fujinon and Canon make ENG lenses that will bolt right on. The Sony HD is worthless. Get one of the new USB SSD setups http://mxmexpress.com/?page_id=15 Lens control depends on the lens you end up getting. A stock EX3 lens can only have the zoom and stop/start remote. Or get the studio setup, NIPROS. http://pro.sony.com/bbsc/ssr/micro-xdcamex...prosIntro.shtml For shoulder I like this one. http://shop.dm-accessories.com/products/ex3-shoulder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricardo de gracia Posted September 11, 2009 Author Share Posted September 11, 2009 and I stil think that going to 2/3 lens adaptor will get us more cinema looking depth of field... at least more than a 1/2 inch one... am I wrong?

David Williams Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Detail is really subject to personal taste. I have shot a few low budget features, and have seen some 35mm blow up tests done that looked quite good using these detail settings- level -20 frequency +45 Crispening +20 White Limit +80 Black Limit +80 Knee Apt +10 Using CineGamma 1 mostly, and Matrix set to Cinema, Level +30. That shoots flat, great for post grading. Change as required of course, depending on conditions and scene. Avoid CineGamma 2 as it limits range to 100%, the other are 109%. 1 stretches highlights, 3 is average, 4 stretches blacks. A 2/3 lens does nothing for depth of field I'm afraid. The only way to change that would be to get a 35mm adapter setup like the Letus, Redrock or Brevis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
