BMMCC losing 2 stops in Resolve 14
Posted: Mon Oct 30, 2017 8:03 am
Hi guys,
Title might be a little confusing. Although it appears like a resolve 14 issue, it might be a BMMCC issue.
PLEASE NOTE: It could also just be a brain fart - so I'm saying this up front for a defence of temporary insanity.
I like to expose at ISO200 when I shoot beauty reels. (Or anything really). Because I like my skin/mid tones to be absolutely noise free, to allow me to lighten them up with out the image falling apart or getting noisy. It gives me headroom for pushing it stylistically in the grade.
So I set my ISO to 200 in my BMMCC. Exposing it nicely, but when I've brought it into resolve, it's really dark.
The metadata says it was ISO200, but I need to set it to ISO800 in resolve 14 to get the exposure that it appeared like at ISO200 in camera. It appears like I'm losing 2 stops of exposure when I hit resolve 14.
In some shots I've noticed some noise creeping into the skin/mid tones. So that leads me to believe that I've only managed to expose enough light for an actual ISO800 setting. Not the ISO200.
I was shooting at 60FPS, 90 degree shutter angle at ISO200.
I have a photo of my EVF displaying the footage in camera and a screen shot of resolve's media page preview.
Is this a resolve 14 bug, a BMMCC bug or me just losing my mind?
