mulluysavage Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Working with two this weekend. Anyone know what to look out for? Looks like no TC in/out, my bet is that it's very similar to the Fs7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronFilm Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Yes it is basically a mini FS7. But with merely 8bit 420 4K which is a big bummer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Perkins Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 I guess it can't use the XDCA back that allows the FS7 to use V-lock batteries and take TC and genlock? I didn't see any mention of it on the FS5 site, so I guess as far we we're concerned it's a fancy DSLR.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarcanon Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Correct. That accessory cannot be used with the FS5. So no TC in (or genlock), unless you want to record LTC to one of the audio channels, e.g., with a Tentacle. While it's true that it will only internally record 4:2:0 8-bit in "4K" (technically, QFHD, not true 4K), you can record 4:2:2 8-bit out the HDMI port into, say, a Video Devices PIX-E recorder or an Atomos Shogun. But, 10-bit 4K sure would have been nice. All the same, I like mine a lot. Just don't assume it's a cinema camera, and you'll get along fine.
