    Small correction: this camera along with the 4k only has two analog iso, not two different systems. Within those two isos, each stop is like increasing and decreasing exposure in post meaning it's fully digital and away from the analog domain of the sensor. That's why you can change the iso in post but not go from iso 1600 to iso 100. They're two different analog isos which aren't possible to change in post. Old canons had multiple analog isos but that severely limited the dynamic range above a certain iso.

    It is worth thinking about going UP in iso (to like 800) in bright sunlight, because all the shadowed areas receive plenty of ambient light, and the extra stop (vs. 400) above middle grey helps toning down the harsh highlights in post. Note that if you do that, 6 stops of ND filters will not be enough to keep you at f/2.0 AND 180° shutter angle at 24fps. You will need an extra 2 stops for that, so a mattebox and a ND 0.6 filter is still recommended (besides that it gives you somewhere to stick your blackmist/streak filters).

    Great timing for the video. I was looking into this subject. I felt like all I know about ISO was wrong. I also have BMPCC 6k Pro and I'm a bit confused about some of the shots I have. I think, the next stop on this topic would be examples of situations and matching iso options for those situations. Like which iso would be good on twilight, or sunsets, or backlit daylight or putting the sun on our back. Exactly what levels of exposure considered to have good amount of details. That would be the key video for this topic.

    So I’m getting on board with this way of thinking about ISO, but this leads me to wonder about what’s going on with braw then since you can alter your ISO in post? When you change it in Davinci does it also effect the stops above and below middle grey? Or does that mean that in the end it doesn’t really matter in raw since you can always change it in post? Or is it really just for reference in camera so you can know how much light to feed the sensor? Thanks and appreciate your videos!

    Great question! My suggestion would be at that point to bump up to the secondary ISO. That's what blackmagic designed it to do, to be used when their are no lighting sources. I know a lot of people swear by using 1250 here, I prefer 3200 but that's honestly a choice you should test out! So it works similarly, but that secondary ISO makes it a little strange. Hope that makes sense! (And your english is perfectly fine!)

    As long as you're making sure it's all exposed correctly in the false colors you should be good! I typically will stay on 400 but if you wanted to squeeze in a little bit more highlight details 1000 would be fine. Just know it will be noisier than 400 and you'll have to clean it up some.

    Hi, thank you for this video. In my opinion it's a great chance the different distribution of the stops (depending on the ISO). I can shoot to 1000 ISO in a sunny day with many clouds and achieve the clouds. But if i have also a subject in backlight, for example, i can't shoot to 1000 ISO because there is too much noise in the shadows. This fact reduces the power of these camera. I have a Ferrari, but i can't push the accelerator. However, i notice that this problem affects more the 6K and 6K Pro than the 4K. I don't know why. In my opinion there is a problem in GEN 5. It's like they've pushed too hard the flateness of the image, like Sony with the S-Log 3 (more flat -> more noise). But is a fantasy of my buggy brain. I noticed however that Pocket 6K Pro is more noisy, and i see more noise to 800 ISO as compared to Pocket 4K. I can solve a bit this problem opening the exposure, because Pocket 6K Pro holds better the highlights, in my opinion. But in this case i can't apply the Extended Video LUT, because it results too much overexposed (without clipping, of course). So, i have to make a specific LUT for the scenes where i have to achieve more stops over the middle gray. I think this could be a good compromise. This camera is not a 'run and gun' camera, i know... And the price also tells me about the limits. What a sad ending... :(

    I have the same issue or i noticed the same thing but i'm not quite sure if it is the GEN 5, the Sensor itself or the processor which causes this "Problem". Ofc smaller sensors tend to be more noisier than Full Frame Sensors because of its physical structure but even on a APS-C type camera like the Fujifilm X-T4 i didnt have that much of a problem with the noise in F-Log on an Atomos like i would on the BMPCC 6K Pro. (Yes, i know RAW is noisier than ProRes). unfortunately like u mentioned the price tells the limit of the camera.... but still i love the camera i never had such a beautiful image coming out of a camera so i stick with it for little bit before i upgrade to somethin else...

    Q : Awesome video! Of course it would depend on the exposure level but generally speaking which do you personally use more in dark situations 1250 or 3200iso? A : Typically I would use 3200 ISO because I have more room to work with and I like the expose for that better than a lower ISO like 1250. I'll have to do that sometime! ***Your answer to the 3200 vs 1200 comparison For cinematography, I'm wondering if ISO 3200 is better than ISO1250 for nighttime indoor shots with lighting. ISO3200 is always handy for shooting, but when image quality is a priority, which is better for noise, 3200 or 1250? I'm using daVinci Resolve and am curious about the denoising results between 3200 and 1250. I've always been curious about the benefits. Finally, thank you so much for your good video!

    1250 ISO will give you the most stops below middle gray. This means that in that second iso range, 1250 would favor less noise in darker scenes at the expense of your highlights.

    If it gives you the look you want no. But 1250-3200 can look cleaner in certain situations. As always I encourage everyone to take the information in this video about the ISO dynamic range loads and test it out themselves. We are all doing different things so it's always great to test it out for yourself!

    1250 is not native. The secondary native would be 3200. I've heard a lot of people wanting to use the 1250 over 3200 but to me staying at the native iso at 3200 doesn't add that much more noise in my opinion. Granted, the secondary ISO system is really reserved for when you just can expose for 400 ISO and need that boost. I would not use it except for that situation, but some people tend to like it better. Hope that makes sense!

    Kind of a preference thing tbh. Like there are times I will film at 1250 ISO in really dark situations, but a lot of time I'll leave it at 3200 ISO. But it's really about assessing the situation and then using your prior experience with the camera to adjust to the correct exposure. I recommend native ISO's because you really can't go too wrong exposing for them, but as you get used to exposing with the camera, start experimenting with the ISO levels for sure!

    Hey, So.... I get it but I dont get it xD let me explain. I clearly understand the there is dual ISO system ( 400 ISO and 3200 ISO) it bumps from one to the other by itself at 1200 ISO. So at those Native ISO that is the area where you will get the most dynamic range in your Highlights and shadows. NOW... what I don't get is why you would go for that 3200 Native ISO if that means your image will have more noise...? I also get that depending on the situation you want to maximise the dynamique range of a specifique region lets say bright sunny day with almost non shadows your better off with 1000 ISO for capturing those details in the highlights. But yeahh just don't get when you would want to go to 3200 if that means noise in those shadows ? If your record in B-RAW at 3200 ISO you max your dynamic range, in post production if you drop it to 1200 ISO will you keep the dynamic range captured and lose the grain in the image ?

    Staring 7.22 I lost you.. Why using ISO if you implemente it like a Gain ( db ). 100 Iso is in film made for highlight, and high Iso as 1250 for low-light...and here you say to do the opposite. When there is much light, as in outdoors, shooting with a very sensitive film could burn all highlights, .. But here you say it s the last thing to do... 🤔 And that to shoot at 3200 is way better in terms of noise reduction in lower light situations... I experience the opposite! 🤔 On my bmpcc 6kpro at 3200 Iso I have much more noise than 100 Iso in low light, as a DB gain would do. But usually you see grain only in the middles area, where in dark and white areas there is nothing to see anyway. And bmpcc seems to have a tendancy to produce red noise.

    Yeahhh, it's a little different when it comes to digital ISO vs film. that 100 iso on the provided BMD dynamic range chart provides for very little range in the highlights above middle grey. It's fine as a "lasat resort" but you'll have much better footage outcome filming at 400 iso, more balanced DR and it's the native, just expose for it and use ND filters for the best result. Typically, I would only recommend staying at the native 400 and then hitting native 3200 when absolutely necessary. So 1250 will usually get you less noise in low light situations, but 3200 because it's native will give you the best quality of footage. It might have more grain in it, but it you use it and properly expose it, it works great. Then throw it into resolve and do some noise reduction and it looks great! I've only seen the BMPCC produce red noise above 3200 or if you're not exposing it properly, or if you left your focus peaking on haha. It's a pretty complex topic that a lot of people have a lot of different opinions on haha

    @@FrameVoyager thank's for responding, i got some pretty interesting answers from BM meanwhile..told me to use 3200 in highlights for the use of greater dynamic range and 100 ISO in dark scene !!! ( we don't see noise in white anyways..ahah ) and to avoid red noise to use +10 tint ( and tungsten lighting if possible... Why ? because you need to expose only according dynamic range and the ISO CHART / middle grey point shifting with the iso. So forget about the hybrid logic, or regular video camera, 100 iso on low light when you want dynamic range in shadows , 3200 in bright scene when no shadows. But since the second native iso starts at 1250 always use the lowest iso possible as a last ressource as it still implements noise going up ( like broadcast db/gain works - the more iso still makes more Noise ( for ex. FX9 does not -invisible almost with its low and high iso modes ) Also the camera is not that great in low light (small sensor nor mega pixels ) meaning with no additional lighting to recover dark areas you are a bit screwed. It is always better to shoot with the histogram far as possible on the right end just avoiding clipping highlights or you will always get noise in shadows. Why ? Except in Prores where there is an algorithm when recording , that there is no sharpness neither noise reduction in BRAW, and that it is only meant to be done in post : they created this camera to be used with Da Vinci of course...the software is not in camera but in DA VINCI somehow ( the opposite of Sony's camera who make footage ready to post and that you can tweak easily even in XAVC with almost no rendering on a 2011 mac like i have ) since they don't recommend at all to bake in the lut meant only for viewing ( and i assure you it creates undesirable results...) Video Mode is the only way to use the camera as a "regular" video camera, but it looks awful and too contrasty to my taste, i prefer extended video mode. That's why FALSE color is absolutely necessary with this camera : the zebra at 75% is useless, ( in video you expose faces with a bit of 70% ZEBRA and you are sure it's ok) , because anyway everything that is on the red and purple zone is clipped, therefore if you touch it noise will appears in shadows, and you ll need de-noising in Post. BM recommend to shoot the brightest possible for low light scenes ( as we do in cinema ) and to lower you exposition in Post. This is not a video camera, it's a 2500$ camera requiring cinema skills and gears both on stage and in post production.

    Iso is basically a Lut. Its not good to film at "Native ISO", you are just getting free noise. Film at the lowest ISO that's able to accommodate your scene DR. When you film @ISO800 for example you are starving the sensor of light (because when you select ISO800 the image in the monitor will get brighter and so you will stop down effectively letting less light in, hence why you have more noise.
