Preparing a homemade Tiramisù - nearly in realtime
This is an incredibly long but informative :) video about the preparation of a tiramisu. Since it's nearly in realtime you don't need to stop the video every 20 seconds but you can just cook along ...
So, if you don't want the industrial version, this is a genuine recipe. Here are the ingredients:
500g mascarpone cheese
300g Savoiardi cookies
300g espresso coffee
100g sugar
4 eggs
bitter chocolate powder
So get the ingredients and prepare your dessert, a homemade Tiramisu :)
And...I know...I should know better especially in my profession and look in the camera instead of the monitor, but what can I say...I was concentrated on the process - I'll hopefully improve

Shots ruined - never shoot in a rush. Frame rate/resolution on the Canon C200
Просмотров 3345 лет назад
Well, after an incredible coast-to-coast through the United States driving for nearly 7000km I came back home and discovered that I didn't quite shoot what I expected. Can't really blame Canon for that, I should have been more on the spot. I guess though this and the connected hassle of changing fps/resolutions is an issue other fellow c200 users have run into. For now I just found not really s...

Canon C200 / C300 mk II - Best affordable battery option? A lightweight.
Просмотров 4,4 тыс.6 лет назад
I just bought these batteries for the Canon C200. They are great for shooting handheld and just cost half of what the original Canon batteries do. These are the "Swit LB-CA50" batteries with D-tap and usb out - for the camera and other equipment. Here's where I bought them: www.proav.co.uk/swit-lb-ca50-14-4v-li-ion-battery-pack-kit
Canon C200 - Low light test, clean image?
Просмотров 3,8 тыс.6 лет назад
This is a low light test for the Canon c200 shot in Milan. The camera performs quite well and even higher iso-values are still usable. This test wanted to be a close to most real life situations so it is full HD and mp4. If you want to see the noise levels in 4k raw - I've made a dynamic range test here: ruclips.net/video/X9LtGyKbtFQ/видео.html

My battery is not sticking with camera jumping back
I bought a Vlock battery and my C200 doesn't switch on what might be a problem?
Did you ever figure this out? I’m having the same issue
thanks
Cool comparison..
Hi! I have Canon C200 and i'm wondering if the batteries are still working ok with Canon C200 without any harmful issues, i need to buy same but i'm afraid a little bit to cause a problem to my camera. Thanks in advanced.
There is nothing "strange". True super 35 should be offset up from center .063. That was originally designed to get a common top line to be used in different formats. Great video
Hi I just got the C200, it seems that all works well, but it is normal a rattling sound when powering on and shutting it off?
nice! I came across CORESWX NANO-C98 with a 98WH solution for C200, almost the same price as the Canon one, but with P-tap and USB out that can be used to power other devices... also HAWK WOODS, half the price of Canon's.
What’s the cheapest cine lens I can get for a super 35? Without killing the sharpness/resolution?
Very good way to show this
The explanation is great but the music... It sounds like playing a game in my 286 computer from 1994.
Awesome comparison shots
Thanks a lot! ;)
Insightful sharing. Thank you.
So did you find ISO 200 give the best results for this kind of high contrast shooting environment ?
Hi Steven, well...what can I say? Officially the camera has a little less dynamic range in the low ISO area. But from my real life testing I really like to work like that when possible. Because clipping the highlights is really not what I want. That means I often have to pull up the shadows in grading and for sure 200 ISO is where you get the least noise. I personally like to work with low iso, but that might be different for other people :)
Looking delicious!!! Love it
Thanks man! Try it out!
And I was just about to sell my Fuji XT3 for a Full frame camera until I watched this whole video. Thank you.
thanks man, glad I could be of some help.
Yeah I own both the xt4 and a7iii and u love the subtle dof blur of my crop sensor. I find that the full frame look is too much blur.
Awesome
Thanks!! Have great adventures - and nice desserts!
The Keen Pixel haha thanks
Easy, and clean explanation
Really enjoyed the side-by-side comparisons. I have only filmed with APS-C sensor(7D Mkii). I love the EF 50mm (Effectively 80mm) because of the F1.8 aperture, clean, and sharp. Did not know that there could be such a difference in background blur due to sensor size. Very enlightening. Thank you for posting this video. Liked and subbed!
Glad it was helpful!
This guy is a real videographer
Yes please for the Raw test. Personally, I would never touch 8 bit for low light. Not enough leeway to push and pull in post.
you are absolutely right. Didn't have enough space on c-fast to do it in raw when I was shooting this. I'll do a raw version soon.
Any chance you could test out skin tones during magic hour, or afternoon lighting . To see the effect and color it can produce in certain conditions, plus how well the ND filters work
Hi Mad Max! Thanks for your comment! Have a look at this: ruclips.net/video/nFQ2fJ-3fWs/видео.html&frags=pl%2Cwn I used the c200 to vlog and walk around Dubai under bright sunlight. So this one you got. If I get a chance one of the next days I'll try a golden hour shoot.
💪🏾
Is the sensor shift because you use the fix tripod? Because the height of C200 body is different than DSLRs, so it is also possible that the whole sensor is higher and not quite middle as DSLRs. Really nice framing while you are talking. And Marry Christmas~
Hey Chenny. I think the solution is an incredibly simple one. Someone on instagram pointed me in the right direction (cn't find his post anymore though). I used the 70-200mm lens connected to the tripod - tis way I thought the lens would always sty in the same position. That's true but §I used a photographic Manfrotto tripod and if you change the camera the weight higher weight of the c200 would very slightly bend the tripod in relation to the 5d. I think that should be it. I'll test it soon to see if that's it. Thanks for your comment!
@@thekeenpixel5912 Good to know~~~
Interesting find, I'll have to test my C200 for sensor shift, thanks for sharing / Subscribed.
Hi Armando - indeed a strange thing, I'm starting to suspect something though - will let you know if I discover something.
There is not "sensor shift" on the C200. True super 35 should be offset up from center .063.
Weird about the censor shifting, I know on my FS5 I can centre scam my censor, at high frame rates
Hmmm, It's really weird. I still have no clue. Will try to do some more testing ...
Haha.
lmao. Happy the police caught the moron that bumped into you car
Be careful we fried one of our c200's AC in port with the swit batteries. I think we got one bad one. $700 to repair. curious if you have run into any issues thus far?
Hi Solomon, thanks for the comment. that's not so good news. I've used the batteries quite intensively but have not run into any kind of problem so far. Nice performance for now. I really like the fact that you can charge both of them at the same time. Let's hope the one that fried your port was an exception! I guess the only way you used the port was with the Swit batteries so you are sure it was them?
The Keen Pixel yes only the swit batteries were used. Iv emailed them with canons diagnosis paperwork. So we will see if swit makes it right or not
@@solomoneross I see. Perhaps they will ask you to send them the "killer" battery so they can test it. Would be great if you let me know what they respond.
That’s my hope as well! Will let u know what I find out
Solomon Ross same thing happened to me! But it's not the battery it's the cable!
There are a warning messages every time you change the recording modes so you must be more aware of those. The current selected resolution is behind the waveform monitor, so you can quick check it with the waveform button. Also when your resolution is FHD you have almost 4 times more recording time on your card timer then if its UHD. On 128 gig sd card you can record around 106 min of UHD and when they suddenly becomes 377 min., something is not right :D. If you want to avoid flickering in Europe you must shoot at 25/50 because the electricity here work on 50 hz and it must be dividable to your framerate. In US it's 60hz but the frame rates are actually 23.976/ 29.97/ 59.94 which is a whole another story... It takes so long to switch between standards because the camera changes its working frequency from 50hz to 59.94 hz and it must Restart not Reset! I like that if you want to shoot true 24p you can change the frequency to 24hz (not using the stupid 23.976 us standard) which is very nice. ~120 p is a special slowmo recording mode that you have to switch to - it's not exclusive to ntsc or pal. It's just around 120 p at 59.94 hz working frequency or 100 p at 50 hz. On 24 hz the slowmo mode is a true 120p because it is dividable by 24. It's not a limitation it's just electricity and math :)
Hey there, thanks a lot for the tip. I always have the waveform monitor on since I'm a bit of a burn out-avoid fanatic. I just checked what you said and indeed, there it is. Incredibly it is behind the waveform monitor not even completely - strange choice to omit that information on the waveform is on. As I said, I was often times really in a hurry and just didn't account for that. Now that I know it never happened again. This was quite stupid from my side. Still...would be great to change back to the recording mode you had before quickly and most annoyingly change back to pal. I can understand the clock speed is linked to the frame rate...so at 60hz 30,60 and 120fps seems quite logical. but 24 not so much, yet there's a 24fps setting under 60hz but no 25fps. What to say, I just need to take more time or use my 5D - the c200 isn't a very good walk around cam anyhow, bit of an overkill :-)
The Keen Pixel it is actually 23.976 not 24 and it is 2.5 times smaller than 59.94 hz so to be able to display it properly on a 59.94 hz system there is a process that is called 3:2 pulldown where the frames are shown in this sequence AAA BB CCC DD. Nowadays almost everything supports all standards, but I prefer to shoot at 25, 50, 100, and sometimes true 24. I just like round numbers :) for flickering issues - there is a shutter mode that allow you to set your shutter at the rate you want, which is very handy in some situations.
I know 3:2 pulldown very well from my days in post-production. But that works only semi-well with interlaced footage and we are talking progressive footage. In this case you have to drop simply frames which makes the whole thing jumpy. You could also frame blend every 3 and 2 frames which is another way...in every case this is an artificial elaboration that really isn't a straight multiple of 60 (or 59.94). You can (and have to) apply the same kind of pulldown if you convert NTSC to PAL, same principle you just drop every 6th frame (or blend 5 and 7). This will look clunkier but still... it is what it is. Let's say we don't care about 24 (or 23.976), my big question is: why is there no 100fps in PAL which would work just perfectly with 50hz and avoid the soft-reset of the camera? I also like round numbers :-) By the way - not to talk of the big horses Arri and Red but even my 5d with magic lantern firmware shoots ANY frame rate - even strange stuff like 27 or 53fps.
@@360CreativeBulgaria man, you made my day, didn't know that. This is new though with the firmware. It's not 120 but still... (could be 125 ;-) Let's forget about NTSC then! Whole numbers are cool, nearly feels like the metric system for video :-) still have to pay attention to the resolution though, got to be awake! Just shot a tvc with the phantom in high speed, thanks god I was not in charge of the camera settings 😅
Dirk Meister 😂
why is it private ;-;
You mention in the video a double D tap cable? Im trying to find it so I can run cable from battery into DC and also run a monitor off the the same outlet cable? Where did you see that...is it a Swit cable? Cheers :)
Hi Obi, yes this is a Swit cable. I thought it was supposed to ship with the package bundle (2 batteries, charger and c200 d-tap cable). the D-tap cable should have a loop through and another plug on the back of the plug. but they didn't ship this one to me. Might be because I did buy here: www.proav.co.uk/swit-lb-ca50-14-4v-li-ion-battery-pack-kit You can see the cable I'm talking about on the swit page: www.swit.cc/productshow.aspx?id=301 Cheers man
Cheers man thats total awesomeness. Thats what I was trying to find on Swit site. I think its the really great solution for powering and charging :) Im shooting some 1hr docs and like you I like to keep things as lightweight and footprint small as possible. This power setup will likely be what we use. Thanx!
cool, happy to be of service :-)
Thanks. Great research and solution. I use swit a lot, good to know they offer this and the double D tap cable :)
Yeah I like that video because I like the mountains and I like the small little yacht boat wow nice and I also like the settings you put in ISO
Thanks! keep tuned for more :-)
nice channel nice sense joker calm cool
Thanks a lot!, I'll soon upload new stuff.
Great video thank you for finding it! if you don’t mind, about how long does each of those Swit batteries last, give or take? thanks again!
Hi Kevin, I didn't actually measure the time yet - since the batteries are attached to the dc-in the camera thinks the battery is a dc-power cable and doesn't tell you the time left. but feeling wise it's around 4 hours. I'll check this out better though. With the two batteries in the kit and the original canon that comes with the camera you definitely can handle a shooting day
Hey Kevin, I have an precise answer for you. The battery lasts 3hours 45 minutes with the c200 switched on and the lens pointed on some moving leaves which means it's often times focussing. I usually never keep the camera always on - you got to move from one location to the next and have prep times - anyhow, never switching off, just for battery change you'll get 7.5 hours of the two batteries plus the canon standard battery with something like 2 hours (perhaps 1.5). So in the end you get 9 to 9.5 hours of continuous shooting with fresh batteries. This is good for me for a shooting day.
The Keen Pixel thank you so much! I’ll follow and look forward to seeing more stuff on the C200 in general. Waiting on approval to get mine, fingers crossed. :)
I love this video.
Hi there, thank you for the video! The "Swit" option is amazing! I just got myself a brand new canon battery for my C200B and it hurt my pocket real bad. I'm interested to know how that battery performs over time and if you can feed a monitor how long it would last.
Hi Carolina, yeah, pretty interesting battery we got here. once I got some more production experience with it I'll probably make another video with more details.
Nice Vid man, these swit batteries are really nice. It's also nice that they have usb so you can power up ssd drive (with cfast to ssd adapter) and still be handheld and compact. By the way when youre shooting mixed stuff (tripod, handheld, glidecam) its easy to stick the original battery for handheld and when you're on the tripod just add aditional power via d-tap (I just leave my vmount battery in a small bag hanging on my tripod), this way you're light when you need to, and have a lot of power :) also about v-mounts, I tjink that you can use them as a counterweight on a glidecam that goes with swit's too. This way the whole setup sure will become much lighter :)
Hey there. You are absolutely right about the v-mounts. When I have some more tripod intense shoots I'll definitely consider that - even the counterweight is a nice one! I'm waiting for the Ronin S to be available and test it though ... let's see what happens :-)
The Keen Pixel I saw you're in Europe like me. I wonder what cfast you're using? About the Ronin S it's really interesting what will be the whole weight of the setup. I'm using Ronin M and recently I've found a very interesting setup with c200 - soon when I have time I will try to make a video about it.
great - would like to see that! Yeah, I'm based between Switzerland and Italy. The Ronin M seems to be nice - Just heard that the c200 is not ideal weight and space wise for the M. And I like quick and easy setups for my small-mid projects. that's why a flycam is useful but not always ideal. So I'll be happy to have a look at the Ronin S. I use The Komputerbay C-fast cards. Even though some people talked badly about them, I didn't have a single problem. They ship around 270Euros for the 256GB version.
Check this out - ruclips.net/video/O5oUwqrxI4Q/видео.html Cheers :)

Why aren't you shooting RAW, I don't get all these RUclipsrs buying this camera to shoot MP4, It's not the cameras intention.
Hi Johnnie, I fully understand your question! As I said, I've done also a 4k raw test, so if you want to have a look... Raw is for sure my preferred shooting format. If I'm shooting a project for a client I'm surely shooting raw but shooting for youtube in raw doesn't always make a lot of sense. You might shoot a lot of material - perhaps hours of stuff, where a c-fast card only gives me 15 or 30 minutes (128 or 256gb card). In editing on my workstation raw is easy enough to handle, but when I'm travelling with my MacBook Pro raw will usually not play smoothly. The point is - project for client: raw - project for internet (which will be mp4 anyhow in the end) no raw. Makes sense? By the way, I've seen you use a c-fast to ssd solution, well, that starts to make sense! Like the one for the Ursa mini. Cool rig. I also try to keep the weight for the whole system down. Shooting the bigger projects I usually shoot on Alexa or red with all the bells and whistles, so you get super big rigs with matte boxes, v-mount batteries and so on which makes the cameras very heavy. That's ok because there's a camera assistant, focuspuller and lots of people on set but with my c200 I really try to keep it light and easy. That's why I have bought a couple of Swift batteries (Canon BP-A60 equivalent). Great solution. Anyhow - your video gave me an interesting input with the c-fast to ssd cable.... I guess I'll try that :-)
All good man, Didn't mean to come across mean or anything.
no worries man, no offense taken!
also nice intro XD
why is it called noise?
Because noise in an image is similar to audio noise. If there is none everything is clean and silent. Looking at the sky in this test you see that at lower iso values the sky is clean and uniform, once the iso raises to very high values you get a lot of grain, or noise. Random pixels disturbing the clean image - as if it was noise disturbing the silence. :-)
You just nailed it. That’s the only think I have to say. Sick.
