Sony FX1 (Downconverted HDV)

Shots from around Rhode Island including Roger Williams Park and downtown Providence. Video was shot in HDV 1080i... downconverted to standard DV. Most shots have not been color corrected except for a couple city shots (at the end) that were underexposed.

The sunset shot was done without a filter. I used a higher temperature white balance to make the sun appear slightly warmer than it actually was. You can do this by manually white balancing on something that is mildly blue in color, but not too much. Maybe try using the outdoor or "cloudy/overcast" setting on your camera's white balance for the same effect.

For low noise in low light situations, you would actually want to do the opposite of what this guy is saying. Set the cam into manual mode, and slow down the shutter to 60 (you might be able to get away with even slower if you are shooting a static shot) and open the iris all the way. In addition, to eliminate noise you want to put the gain off (0db) or maybe low. Anything above 6db may present some visible noise. Gain is really the factor that introduces noise into your shots. Keep it low.

how you see the guy is not answering, i have also an fx1, so, if you want that little noise, just set you shutter speed to much more, and gain to medium or high light so you can put your shutter speed do 3000 or how ever you think you want, so you get the nose ;)

i hope it helped.

cheers

I really like the low light shot--very clean with little noise. What settings did you use to get so little noise? Did you use a filter for the sun set shots? Very good down conversion quality. Impressive cam--super colour!
