Balboa Park at Sunset. Shooting the Sony FS5 with New V1.11 Firmware
This Sony FS5 review is the most live one I’ve done. Just hours before I was going to send back my demo camera to Sony the V1.11 firmware update was released. Sony was gracious enough to let me hold on to the FS5 and update the firmware to test it out for a few more […]
Updated Sony FS5 Firmware V1.11 Fixes Tearing and Blocking Image Issues
The issues was noted by Paul Antico and Andrew Reed and although it can be avoided it certainly isn’t acceptable. Sony jumped on it and stated they are going to fix it and they did it record time. So what the heck is going on? Sony says it’s a two fold problem but both have […]

$350 Tangent “Ripple” Control Surface is Ready To Go
I’m not a full time colorist but I play one at work. Sounds familiar? We are all becoming one since so many cameras shoot Log now and to get the most out of these cameras we shoot the super flat image that requires color grading. Color grading with a mouse isn’t easy and having the […]

Sony FS5: Shooting at 240 Frames Per Second
FS5 240 FPS TEST from Erik Naso on Vimeo. I wanted to see what 240 FPS looks like with the FS5. I used the Sony 18-105 lens for all these shots. Yes some are soft and I feel it’s me. I was obsessed with these kites and framing the sun. Ugh…. The compression on Vimeo […]
