I just got my camera yesterday and went to try it out today. Totally blown away by the results. I did, however, encounter the fabled dark spots. I've been frantically searching for a solution in resolve or after effectsHi im looking to maybe buy a BMCC 2.5k. Ive seen dark spots on bright light sources before BUT on cheaper cameras...The only thing i can think of is the luma (brightness)
is peaking WAY beyond 800mv and is peaking/crushing so high that the Luma inverts and goes black!
On some older SD 3CCD cameras this crushed white would go yellow. So BMD would have to make a firmware to CLIP the luma before it shoots stupidly high and crushes beyond 800mv
(you heard it here first).
Is this what you are seeing? watch at 57sec in the upper left of the image (the bright street lamp has a black spot in the center:
This doesent seem to be a problem on all cameras, so it might be during the Image Censor calibration stage???
stuart.
