It's a beautiful image. It's also the flattest raw image I've encountered on any camera...so be patient and use lots of grading adjustments!

C-mount / MFT reductions are not good and the lenses vibrates when focusing), it is not a tight connection like PLmount. So today I created a version of the BMPCC camera - Cmount. I have a new front of the camera and it's great, I don't have to adjust my Zeiss glass to the MFT and I don't need a c-MFT reducer. I adjusted the camera. It' is perfect, solid, accurate and better than MFT. I am very happy. It worked better than I expected.

Hi there! For the Star Wars stuff, I used the Panasonic LUMIX 12-35mm f1.8. It’s the Panasonic four thirds equivalent to a 24-70mm. For KZread, I don’t do anything that fancy. I use the setting in Final Cut Pro for “Computer.” This generates an MP4 file with a bit rate of about 20mbps. That’s going to make you a pretty good KZread file. There are 100 different ways to do this, but that setting is very reliable for me.

Fidget Video Media that’s a bummer. I have a plastic 14-42 and I’ve always found that to be pretty capable but a little finicky in terms of what fStops are sharp. With my lens, I usually lock it at about 5.6 and then use an ND filter when I am outside. Or if inside, you may have to REALLY hit your subject with a lot of light and either use an ND inside or try to darken the image in post. The OG pocket camera sensor needs a LOT of light to produce its best images. The histogram isn’t very good but I’d definitely try to keep even a darker scene as close to the middle as you can.

For the original Pocket Camera (not the 4K/6K!) I have become a really big fan of the Samsung EVO microSD cards are working great for me. They are inexpensive and have large capacities and come with a full size SD adaptor. I shot all the Disney stuff on those cards in ProRes HQ and it worked like a charm. It may not go great with DNG Raw files, but that ProRes from that original 1080p camera is a beautiful thing. If you are using the 4K/6K version of the camera, you will need something faster like a Sandisk Extreme Pro SD Cards.
