I scrolled though a bunch of "thats how the Shinobi works" but I was looking for exactly this. Thank you so much for this in-depth tutorial on how to bring this to work.
Thanks, Doug! This is one of the best videos from B&H! So informative! Usually Jake being in a video is not a good sign but this one was great! Thank you!! 🥰
Finally! Very helpful and the one I've been waiting for. I just wish there was a condensed 'in summary' version of the video for a quick reference. Thanks.
I just bought a field monitor from B&H, and your explanation of the different tools on a field monitor is a big help to me. So thanks for the video, and I will be playing it again, again, and again. I love free stuff.
useful info. a trick i found out about is to zoom in with your lens (or use clearimage, digital zoom, something "in-camera/lens") so that the screen shows mostly the face/skin, and that way you can see better how the waveform/vectorscope looks mainly on the face/skin. zoomed in (and this way, you dont have to get physically closer to the subject), now even the in-camera meter might be more reliable, because you've isolated mainly the subject.
Brilliant, deliberate, dutifully paced and spaced tutorial. Director you just earned your favored coffee break. I recently purchased a 'FeelWorld' 7" 2200nit for outdoor video production. Thanks to all participating crew members.
Very nice device, i have one Shinobi. why no one mentions the overheating of the screen, even in study conditions? the screen gets so hot that I'm afraid it will melt
Why does the image from the actual camera that you show on screen look so much darker than what you're seeing on the Shenobi monitor? Even when you showed the "original log" on the Shenobi, that is much more brighter than even the LUT you use, which are all still much brighter than the actual camera's image. Another related question: Is the waveform and other information being dialed in to the monitor's image or the actual camera's image? I'm a little confused by the fact that there's a difference. Why not just view the camera's actual image that it's recording and dial that in?
14:00 Couldn't you zoom into the image with the camera? I'm on outdated equipment, but I thought you could usually zoom way into the image to check focus..
So when you use this monitor with a camera via HDMI do the settings in the external monitor affect how your image looks when you are recoding from the camera? I apologize for asking, this is new to me as I just ordered a Sony A7IV as my first ever legit camera and want to get a larger external monitor to see what I am recording better. Thanks for your time.
Some of my features are not available to me, it used to be available. However, when I was messing around with it... It disappeared and I tried to factory reset it and it comes back but disappears again. I need help!
Yes there is grid/safty lines on the Atomos Shinobi. According to the manual the monitor has Safe Areas, Action area and title safe areas displayed, and Cinema Guides, Cine or TV frame guides. The Safe Area/Grid Lines will still be visible when tapping the center of the screen to hide the overlays.
Hello I am subscribed and I'm in the market for a monitor. I'm using my Sony NX5U video camera. With my declining eyesight I need something larger than the little flip out screen that's on there. 7-in monitor will be fine. What I need more than anything is the monitor to view the camera settings. When I pull up the camera's menu. We recommend one that will do that for me. Thanks. Keith

Is it me or is peaking and zebra useless for a moving subject? The recorder bakes the effect into the recording. So you can't use it while recording. High end cameras don't do this. Why on earth does Ninja?
way too dark and under exposed. The subject looks like he sits in the dark. It seems to be the trend now on RUclips : most talking head videos seem to like sitting in the dark.
This looks like it has great content but is completely spoiled by the droning garbage playing in the background. Why do do many videomakers imagine this adds anything to their product?? It separates the artists from the you tubers. It's a proven psychologically extremely counterproductive. It's do frustrating but I couldn't watch it after 5 mins
@@Isaypreach actually “droning” wasn’t the best word. I just found the muzak which played constantly in the background to detract immensely from what the presenter was saying. I really wanted to hear him and he seemed to know his stuff really well so it was incredibly frustrating for me and I couldn’t watch it. I am maybe sensitive, but it’s a shame this great content was spoiled.

Thank you everyone at B&H . I to want very much about all the tools on the monitors. Thank you so much
Many thanks for your useful explanations. Very easy to listen to whilst grasping challenging content.

Brilliant and thorough advice! Also great point about wide or anamorphic lenses, it’s definitely a challenge to properly expose 👍
deep enough to learn a lot, not too much to get confused, thanks!
Very informative. Just bought a monitor from B&H and it's above my pay scale to use it. But your video has helped me get a head start. Thanks.
Glad this video was helpful for you, thanks for watching!
Learned so much from this video, thank you guys
This is a fantastic video and thoroughly explained. Thanks very much!
Great video to learn about Field Monitor settings! Thanks.
Glad you learned something new!
That was great, thank you. I have the ninja v, and haven’t really used anything other than peaking. I will use the false color more for sure.
Glad you found this video helpful!

Thanks! Welcome to our channel.
Very good tutorial. Thank you.
thanks for the video, was watching this and doing the same stuff on my atomus ninja V+
Camera monitors make me feel like a BIG MAN. Who's doing CAMERA SCIENCE.
It would be great if you did a version using this monitor for photography
Excellent video....
this was very helpful
Glad it was, thanks for watching!
Super helpful. Thanks!
Glad to hear this!
As for peaking wide shot zoom in lens set peaking then zoom out and it will lock focus at any zoom out level on lens.
Really well done. Thanks so much!
This’s amazing.
Thanks man
Just what i needed 😁 Thank yu for this!!
Great content! More like this, please! 👍
Well do. I had no idea what all those buttons represented.
I just bought the Viltrex 550 PRO from B&H yesterday.
The best price on the internet is $168, except for B&H where it is only $135!
Thanks!
We got the best prices for that reason.
I'm telling everybody.

Wow, IRE is such a strange term… I mean “what does radio have to do with light/luminance?”. Really haven’t seen much light over the radio 🤣
Some of my features are not available to me, it used to be available. However, when I was messing around with it... It disappeared and I tried to factory reset it and it comes back but disappears again. I need help!

can it work on old model dslr like nikon d3200 or canon 600d?
yes, a camera monitor will work with those older camera models. an external monitor can work with any camera, as long as it has a HDMI output
Is there any way to get the grid on the monitor? I just bought this monitor and I'm disapointed that I can't seem to get the grid on the screen.
Yes there is grid/safty lines on the Atomos Shinobi. According to the manual the monitor has Safe Areas, Action area and title safe areas displayed, and Cinema Guides, Cine or TV frame guides.

For rec 709 i thought %18 grey card should be 40 IRE and for caucasian skin 70 IRE am i wrong?
45% and 70% are about right. But there may be some variance either way. >Mark
@@BandH oh ok thanks. I thought I heard %70 for grey card for rec 709
I feel like I should take a full course just on scopes. Is that a thing? haha

can you use focus peaking and zebras at the same time with this?
You need to toggle between those tools.
Thanks! -Joey P
My monitor displays crop view, how to change display in full screen?
Normally this control would be accessed via the monitor's OSD MENU. Please e-mail us : askbh@bandh.com >Mark
Can you record 4K 60 if the monitor doesn’t support it?
Of course! As long as the camera will record 4K@ 60fps. >Mark
Place or space,
that is the question.
Use grey card in front of his face for vector scope! When color temp is perfect it will be one single dot. Your doing it wrong.
Is it me or is peaking and zebra useless for a moving subject? The recorder bakes the effect into the recording. So you can't use it while recording. High end cameras don't do this. Why on earth does Ninja?

Yes. Both functions (focus peaking and zebra) may be used simultaneously. >Mark
