by the way there is no denoiser and minor color correction we used only one light aputure 600c with spot lens and then we added few dedo lights in the back.

The line in the middle of the image is concerning. I hope they can rectify that. I think Blackmagic had a similar issue with one of their cameras in the past.

Oh yeah, I did see the middle line issue, but looks like they will fix it. @young @admin

now I can’t unsee it but it seems like something easy to fix in post. It looks like a digital issue? I wonder if it happens during debayer or at the sensor?

Yeah not too sure. From the video I think it has to with stitching. 

Don’t worry, this has already been fixed. Issues like the horizontal line, fixed-pattern noise, and dead pixels will all be corrected before the cameras ship.

By the way, the line isn’t from sensor stitching. This sensor has a very fast readout speed, which requires reading data from the top and bottom halves simultaneously. During that process, tiny variations from the chip manufacturing can cause a slight difference in photo-response non-uniformity (PRNU) between the two halves, leading to that subtle shift you see.

Nice Kuntha! Thanks for sharing! Could you post the uncompressed file for download so we can see the true high res quality? Instagram heavily compresses the file. 

This isn’t my work, I just posted the link!

My Instagram is linked in my profile, I don’t look like him…:slight_smile:

I’m waiting for the camera myself…

This other video just dropped! @young and @admin The 4K footage looks great but the 2K footage like shown in the video looks very compromised and degraded with color artifacts. Any idea what is causing this and if this will be fixed?
