Nice tutorial thanks for your work Christian. I've found False Colour with an 18% grey card a more accurate method to nail exposure on R8 than Zebras as those work with ±5% range. For example in a test shot of a greycard with zebras level set to 35±5% at f2.8 50fps 1/100th I see the zebra pattern at ISO640, ISO800 and ISO 1000. Whereas the same shot with false colour I only see the green overlay at ISO800. This is faster to shoot as there's no decision to make.. The downside of using False Colour on R8 is that you have to disable CLOG View Assist and Peaking, so I'm constantly going back into menus when setting up a shot.
Wonderful tutorial! Thank you so much! I have scheduled a one-on-one meeting following a link provided here, but I am not sure what time it refers to-UK time or Korean time (that's where I am).
Thanks for booking, I see booking in GMT so for me London Time, you will receive and email from me shortly. And if the time doesn’t work we can work something out that works for us both. ☺️
Canon RP and R8 are the same body. I think there is a very, very small marginal difference between the two in size. I always forget about the RP, as it’s now 5 years old. Thanks you ❤️
When you explain how to use the zebras for exposure on your face you show the back screen where there are lots of zebras on your face and they get less and less. Is the goal to have the minimum amount of zebras on your face or expose to the point where they just disappear from your face? Thanks. 6:22
its to do with the lines of resolution, pal has slightly lower frame rate but more lines of resolution, Pal is around 625 lines of resolution, whereas NTSC has around 525 lines of resolution, if you record two clips side by side one as PAL and one as NTSC you should see a difference, depending if you can see them side by side equally monitors dependant.
As and old DVD horder I know the difference. It was either you get lower res but correct speed since NTSC could playback 24 fps more correct even though it was 30 fps, and with PAL you got more resolution but the film would play 4% faster with higher pitch audio. But can the R8 record in SD? I think the PAL/NTSC settings is more of a legacy thing to do with the frame rate on the camera, not necessarily the resolution. I don’t own the camera (yet 😇), so I wouldn’t know. Great video btw 🙂
@@johnjohansson thank you, glad you enjoyed it. 😁 canon support usa actually answered this question a couple of years back, and gave the exactly resolution difference between the two formats. As for the DVD that is what happens ,but that's to do with the way that is output then converted to either NTSC or PAL for region, as it then needs to add or remove frames, hence the sped up audio. although in modern video it doesn't massively matter for the output, the way the information is processed and records the information like colour gamut is effected. every camera I've used has to be switched between Pal or NTSC, this is to do with the way the camera processes the information as they still record the information needs for analog, other wise all the frame rates would be available at all times with no need to switch.
@@ChristianPitcher 4K or (UHD) is 3840 x 2160 pixels. There is no increase of line resolution with PAL, only difference is FPS. You are mixing SDTV terminology with digital 4K, which no longer applies.
@@ChristianPitcher while you technically might see a difference if you were to compare original PAL and NTSC signals side-by-side on old equipment, in practice, it's not something you'll encounter with modern video content and displays.
When I film in Clog 3 and put it in to cinegama like you showed, when i upload the footage to my computer it says theres a error and the format isnt excepted
The EOS R8 does not have an ALL-I profile (except for timelapse video). PAL has no advantages in terms of number of lines compared to NTSC. In modern cameras, this option exclusively affects the framerate. Technically weak review.
This is a super helpful starting point. Thank you Christian!
Thank you! Great tips, and thanks for the LUTs.
thank you and your welcome! ✌
Fantastic, this video helped me fine-tune my settings. Thanks!

Hi thanks for the video. I am thinking about getting a full frame but something cheap:-) My picks are Canon R8 and Lumix s5 any thoughts?

The RP is the smallest Full Frame Camera of Canon if i am not mistaken.
Nice Video. Good infos to start with the great R8.

What lens are you using?
What do you mean by more resolution with PAL? Isn’t 4K, well 4K?

Why do you say PAL has more lines than NTSC it is true 20 years ago, but now it is the same resolution.

What device are you using? And have you tried opening in editing software, like premiere pro or Davinci resolve?
Or Final Cut?
Does the R8 suffer from line skipping in 4k 60p ?

Thank you for your correction, thanks for the comment and watching. ✌🏼
CANON? R8?
