Great video man!!!! I hope Atomos release a update to record 4k 120p in Ninja V

[robetus]

It looks like the 5k cropped mode is the same thing as the R5 C's super35 cropped mode which is nice if you have those small s35 lenses, correct if I'm wrong.

[Tangycrusher]

Thank you for making the awesome videos! I would love to see 4k Raw 60 or 5k Raw 60.

[bryancc]

nice video, any suggestion to edit those preros raw in final cut pro and upload to youtube as HDR video?

[redbeardproductions-kevind]

Man... I love full frame, but I'll have to play with this...

[AZMTBFix]

I excitedly loaded the firmware on my Ninja V the other day, set it up, wired up, and shit some test video. Unfirtunately the excitement died the moment I tried to pull the footage into Davinci Resolve Studio, which doesn't support ProRes RAW. (Never going back to Adobe, having just escaped their gravity weeks ago.) Oh well. =( Maybe Canon will smarten up and allow 5k, or hell even 4k, raw internal. Seems like there's no good reason since the camera can clearly handle internal raw at 4x the resolution in 8k. Or maybe Davinci and Apple will learn to play nice. One can dream!

[agustingc]

Hello, can you use it for 1080p 120fps?

[MindzEyz]

What do you mean "activate codecs"? There are more to "unlock" in some way?

[skymakai]

For anyone else who was wondering how an 8K sensor outputs Raw in 5K... 4K Cropped mode on the R5.

[meekacumen]

i love your channel, very informative.
i have a question, if i am in 4k120fps mode, will i still be able to view the image on the monitor but record on the camera, or will the camera go blank?
thank you

[wolfschmalz]

Thx for your informative video. I tried it out (5k RAW on the Ninja V and the Canon R5) and I get so much noise in my video (with 800 ISO and 3200 ISO as well). Is there a trick to reduce noise?

[rogalaphotography]

I noticed that when I set my camera up for the 5k recording and then turn my camera off the settings arentthere when I turn the camera back on. When I try to save the settings to C3 since that is what I use the most it says it can't save them because of the Output RAW setting. Do I need to keep setting up my camera every time I want to record with these settings or is there a way to save the settings?

[dushyantbhatt]

It works with da Vinci resolve Pro Res raw ?

Hi Dear Director,

How’s the workflow with 5K raw? Seems like a memory hog.

I’m happy using 5.1K DCI and 4.8K UHD crop mode and metabones speedbooster 0.71x (reduces the crop from 1.6 to 1.136 (=1.6 x 0.71) and I get a stop of light with my EF lenses. I use this for long form recording or in low light and the drop in variable nd filter.

Am waiting for the Tilta fan and possibly add the passive heat sink from Kolari Vision and that should be plenty good to add 1-2hrs recording + fast recovery times. Only thing missing is the 30min recording limit Canon has not removed.

I have the Ninja 5 so I’ll update to 10.68. Thanks for helpful tips! 🙏

[srivero]

How much would you estimate is the crop factor?

[glynnelectric]

Will this update help anything on a R6?

[SteveWalterPhoto]

@ 6:24 - incorrect. you cannot adjust the WB or ISO on the ProRes RAW footage from the R5 in Final Cut. Just FYI. I ran some tests yesterday and was bummed to find that out. You CAN with ProRes RAW footage from a SH1 (and I think Sony cameras) however. So it appears to be a canon limitation. Hopefully they update that. Clearly it’s just a software adjustment.

[sanchogracia]

I have recorded 5K Raw files (Canon R5) on the Ninja V, but Davinci doesn't recognize them, they appear as audio files. Do you know the solution? Thanks.

[MoesesKIIINT]

Hey, have you had any trouble with recording stopping while recording 8K on the Ninja V Plus? I have a 4TB Samsung 870 SSD on it. It can't be the write speeds, could it?

[rameshjaigulabrai]

Unfortunately I’m not able to record internally at the same time that I’m recording prores raw externally. Am I doing something wrong?
