Rick, when you say including the specific lens focal lengths in the metadata, did you mean going to the lens data screen and setting it there? If so, it automatically shows the focal length and stops as I zoom in/out. I assume that info is recorded in the metadata…
On the camera, with my BMPCC4K, I define the lens information including the focal length, say 20mm.
In DaVinci Resolve, with the Media Pool drop-down in the Media tab, selecting the Camera item, you can verify the focal length is included in the clip metadata which for me is 20mm, or set it there appropriately if it’s not defined accurately.
On Resolve’s Edit tab, with the timeline clip selected, in the Inspector scroll to the Stabilization toggle and select it. Then select the Mode as Camera gyro. Hit the Stabilize button.
A couple of last question on the stabilizer. How do you turn it on/off? I can’t find a menu option for it…
On the first page of the camera Setup tab, there’s a button at the bottom called Lens Stabilization. When shooting manual lenses as I do, the button is greyed out in the Off toggle. That means when I record BRAW, the gyro data is also recorded.
On a lens that supports lens stabilization, if you want to record camera gyro data, toggle the Setup menu stabilization switch Off, otherwise toggle on to use lens stabilization. Makes sense but may not be transparent to the shooter what’s happening.
