Neon Lights - Canon 7D AWB Test (for frequency caused strobe fx - none occured)

iso 640, 1/50, 1.8 (canon 50mm), cine style custom picture preset. i forgot to turn off AWB. only available light is being used.
i took my 7d to the test, that's what half the world is doing right now. i just wanted to know, if alternating current driven (neon) lights are going to be a problem. of course not in PAL mode! still, sometimes direct current causes some LEDs to produce a flickering like a TV screen. adjusting the shutter doesn't help.

Did you do any post color work on this?

[masterseb007]

@AmazeNYou nope

Hi, what compression did you use to upload the video to youtube? I use compressor and I am also noticing some jitteryness and flickering horizontal lines. Is this an interlacing issue?

[masterseb007]

@j0hnnnym i usually convert with quicktime X or 7 pro to h264. jitteryness is normal for handheld video, look it up under "rolling shutter". the lines are probably an 60-50hz issue. the old game: for US only use the NTSC settings (30p with 1/60 shutter) und for EU PAL with 25p, 1/50 shutter. higher shutter values must be set correctly corresponding to your framerate and light frequency. usually you cant go above 1/100 or 1/200

are you using highlight tone priority?

[masterseb007]

no. leave it off!

[JoshAlexful]

@mizhoDA Why the hell do you need to have sound to view a visual test? They were probably just talking about nonsense since it looks like a random test shot anyway. I muted it before I heard anything because it would have been a distraction.

[mizhoDA]

@StereoBreedMedia no

@aznboy123 have u ever tried the marvel cine or superflat picture style out? they work really nicely.

quick tip: drop your contrast down a few notches too. contrast and sharpness can be added back in post.

[StereoBreedMedia]

@mizhoDA .....u need to get laid, stat.

[mizhoDA]

Why? Why no sound? Give me a good reason.

This video SUCKS because it's mute.

And don't think you're more special because you didn't use highlight tone priority. We get it. no need to blow up.

And btw! use Visine. you look like high.

I just don't like you because the video is mute.

You insult us by muting a video where there is a SPEAKING mouth.
