Hi All!
I borrowed a Pocket cam from a friend awhile back to shoot a wedding, and it performed wonderfully. He came to me for a camera recommendation awhile back, and I sent him in the pocket route, and made sure he bought all approved media.
The night before the wedding when I was getting equipment ready and packed, I decided I wanted to try out one of my own cards and see what kind of performance I could get out of it. The card in question was a 16GB PNY class 10. http://www.amazon.com/PNY-Elite-Performance-Speed-Class/dp/B00DX5D49S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1434506155&sr=8-1&keywords=pny+16gb
I did a fresh format in camera, and I was able to record ProRes proxy just fine, and then all of the other flavors of ProRes would drop frames after short durations of time. But here's the kicker though. I switched it over to RAW, and I was able to record with absolutely no issue. I could record a few clips of ProRes, have dropped frames, and then switch right over to RAW and have it run beautifully. I went all the way up to around 5 min clips, and I still didn't have a single dropped frame.
Is this just some crazy anomaly, or is there something to explain why this happens?
