I tried making some videos with my NIKON ZR H.265

Just a student in korea.

Not my best efforts but just tried several different ways to grade ZR h.265 footages.

first set was just trying one of the official RED Log3g10 log Lut kits and others are

more of my styles.

the iso was low 2.0 ? or something cuz i don't have nd filters yet for this camera i think the iso 640 or 800 would give better results in the highlight.

I upgraded from Fuji X-S10 this year and it's a huge performance i get from this camera.

I love the quality of RED RAW gives me from the cam.

But not sure about the h.265 so i'm keep trying things... H.265 look fine in the daylight. but i don't recommend using h.265 10bit at low light. R3D NE was far better above iso 3200.

Bug HDMI feelword

Has anyone experienced HDMI 2.0 compatibility issues between a Nikon Z50 II and a Feelworld F5 ProX monitor?

Here’s the weird part:

  • HDMI 1.4 mode works
  • Menu and photo mode display correctly
  • In video mode, HDMI 2.0 completely loses signal
  • The monitor does NOT stay on a black image — it goes into “searching for signal / no signal” mode as if nothing is connected

I already tested:

  • multiple HDMI cables
  • factory reset on both devices
  • different resolutions/frame rates
  • PAL/NTSC
  • different power sources

What’s confusing is:

  • the monitor works perfectly in 4K with a PC
  • it also works with a Nikon D7500 in 4K
  • and with a Sony FX30
  • the Nikon Z50 II also outputs 4K correctly to a TV and another older monitor

So nothing seems physically broken.

I recently used the monitor with:

  • a Sony FX30
  • a Hollyland Mars 400S
  • and a Panasonic HD interlaced camcorder

Could this be some kind of HDMI handshake / EDID issue specifically with the Z50 II?

Current firmware on the F5 ProX: Version 5.02

Has anyone seen something similar or found a fix?

ZR not picking up timecode from Deity TC box.

Any ideas what’s wrong? Can see a signal is coming through via audio but the timecode display is showing nothing.

I am a photographer, and recently getting a bit more into videos (I have made some small videos over the years too but nothing serious).

I shot everything handheld with the Nikon Z6 III and a Nikkor 24-200mm f4-6.3 VR. Attached to the lens was a pro mist filter.

What do you think?

I’m a long time Red and Canon user and just tried out a ZR on a shoot. I’m blown away by the camera and how much use I’d get out of it but the only thing holding me back from getting one is the lack of compression ratios for R3D.

Most of what I shoot with my Reds I dial up the compression apart from very certain jobs that require VFX or will need heavy Denoise work.

Especially in today’s landscape with storage becoming more expensive by the day I don’t think I’d buy a ZR unless they can add compression for raw into it. If they did I might buy 2.

Do we think this is on Nikons roadmap? My fear is that Nikon won’t add the raw compression to either segment people into buying an actual Red or a future release.

I've got the Nikon ZR since it got release and it was working fine. I'm using a Megadap ETZ21Pro+ adapter with my sony lens. I never had any problems. In the last video I made, I noticed a heavy noise pattern. You can see it in the shadows of the image. I overexposed this image a bit so, so you can see the line-pattern more easy in a still frame. But it's even there when it's properly exposed.

This flickering line pattern happens at Base ISO 800 more noticeably than it does at Base ISO 6400. But it seems to be always there. It's making me crazy. It wasn't there last week or the months before. I have badly exposed shots which look fine in comparison to my well exposed shots now. Does anyone have an idea?

Thanks!
