Sony FX3 / FX30 Flexible Exposure Mode Explained
Thank you very much for the video. WB was always an issue for me, before watching this video. I have a Sony ZV-E1 and when I try to set the WB using a grey card while am filmming Slog3 (+2.0 Exposed), the overall color turn into green. why is that?
I don’t understand how you get the image blown up on the monitor and then have it zoom out. My image appears always like it’s zoomed in and things look closer than my my camera monitor. My screen settings look different too I have everything on the bottom so I must have either an older firmerware or newer one 🤔
Hi Paul, is it possible to set the speed of auto-ISO, so it does not react too fast?
WARNING - I got got caught. Don’t be the next one. The additional 95mm stackable circular filter tray is not for Full Frame Cameras like the SONY A7s, A7, Fx3 that mostly everyone of us have (and probably every other full frame cameras too I guess), as the edges will get in the frame and cause massive vignietting at 35mm and wider. ALSO. For those who have invested in the most expensive model with the motorized VND, guess what? You will be rewarded by not being able to use the additional circular filter tray with the motor on. You will have to waist valuable time unscrewing the motor (So definitely not on a wedding). Forger about the VND if you have the additional circular filter tray extension on. It will not go down completely. So it’s one or the other, not both at the same time. ONE MORE THING. BE AWARE. I don’t know if it’s my unit only but the battery in the motor attached to the VND unit will deplete completely overnight if it stays in. Even if turned off. I have no idea why. And the batteries take an eternity to charge. So your day of shooting might be ruined if you were planing on using the motorized VND the next morning. On the other hand, the battery in the remote control will keep its charge when turned off. At over 1000 Canadian dollars I was expecting nothing but the very best. I’ve been left on my appetite.
How is the latency if using as a wireless headphone connection? Latency is critical for live musical audio monitoring.
thank you for this video it help a lot
An incredible upgrade, but guys just realised that with the Sony as73 it can't monitor 120fps or 100fps, with the old software that wasn't an issue. Very sad I hope they can fix it soon
Can you not set the HDMI output settings on the A7s3?
Can it work simultaneously with the Ninja V?
I don’t see why it wouldn’t if you had a need to use 2 screens. I’d put the Ninja first in the chain though as it has more options for output signal.
@@PaulJoy thanks, thats what I figured, I bought the LH7P thanks to your video so well find out. Chain will be Source to Ninja to wireless TX to wireless RX, to LH7P, I know there will be latency but curious how much. This is just for wireless monitoring / touch to focus.
Fantastic video mate as someone just getting into videography, having comes from drones and action cams to now my first mirrorless, this video is a godsend. One question though, if i want to shoot in 120fps is there a frame rate i can use that would give me this same flexibility? To use the footage both at full speed or slowed down if i wanted? Cheers.
Thanks. No not really for a 30p timeline as you’ll be limited to 1/120th of a second shutter.
I just got an LH5P II and im tring to find a video on how to update the firmware.
Do we keep those same rules above when using an ND filter ?
Using ND wouldn't make any difference to the amount of motion blur assuming you're setting the same shutter speed.
thank you for this, I learned a lot here
Glad it was helpful, thanks for letting me know.
Hello, Paul. If I am shooting with Slog3, but using Rec709 internal monitor lut. Shall then I use your technic with 70% IRE to expose skintones for Rec709? Or I have to go with 52% as for the Slog3? Thank you!
Hi there. I aim for 60% for judging skin tones when using the s709 lut in the camera.
@@PaulJoy thank you for your reply, Paul. And highlights 108%? Or lower value for in camera monitoring in rec709 lut?
Highlights are tricky because they change depending on which EI value you use. For low base (800) set to 99% but you will notice you need to set that different if you move away from the base.
@@PaulJoy thank you, Paul. I guess for the second native ISO of 12800, I will also use 99%. Thank you for your video, it’s very helpful. I added it to my favorites, to make sure I keep those values in memory 😅
@@AleksanderZh No problem at all. I keep a note on my phone of settings for each camera / shooting mode as there's way too much info to remember. For example the one for this says... Slog-3 + S709 Middle Grey: 45% Skin: 60% White: 77% Blown: 99% (800 Base)
Well done and a great ref to go back to when things get a little confusing lol. thx
Thanks, glad you like it.
This tutorial was to the point and super simple. Thank you Paul!
You’re very welcome, glad it helped.
This was very helpful! Thank you ❤
Thanks for letting me know :)
Many thanks for this!
You’re very welcome.
Unfortunately, we won't be able to see some of the differences you're describing about your 50p footage played at its normal speed because you don't have the 50p viewing option enabled on your UA-cam video. (So we're all seeing it downconverted to 25 or 30 frames per second).
The video is about shooting at 50 fps for delivery at 25fps. As I say in the video, if delivering a 50 fps video then you would shoot at 1/100th or 180 degree shutter anyway.
@@PaulJoy Right, but at 4:38 and 6:15 you gave some examples of what the 50p footage looks like played back at normal speed, and asked the audience to observe some of its characteristics, including judder and fluidity, which aren't going to be be accurately represented if the video is limited to 25p or 30p.
@@AJ-on-youtube I'm showing how footage shot at 50 fps using 1/100th shutter looks juddery when played back at 25 fps (dropping half the frames). At no point in this video am I showing how footage looks played back at 50 fps so no need to publish it at 50 fps.
@PaulJoy You were though, at 4:38 and 6:15. You can click those time links and they'll take you right to the parts I'm talking about so you can check.
@@AJ-on-youtube I don't say that at all, in both cases I talk about playing the footage back at "normal speed" ie, not in slow motion. Again, this video is about shooting 50 fps and using that footage on a 25 fps timeline either as slow motion or at "normal speed", ie as if you had shot at 25 fps.
This is exactly what I've been thinking about. It doesn't matter if it's 25fps or 50fps, 1/50 shutter is 1/50 shutter in the end of the day. This whole rule, kinda looses it's point in digital. I'd rather shoot everything at 1/50, knowing that I can slow down the futage later or just frame skip if I want to play it real time.
Certainly digital gives us the ability to change the equivalent of shutter angle on the fly.
This is a fantastic video, thank you. One question: How do you turn on Phantom power on the UTX-P40. I saw you press something at the start of the video to toggle it, but I can't find this anywhere in the manuals, on how to turn on 48V power?
Glad you liked the video. Phantom power is one of the menu items, you press + or ~ until it’s shown and then press set to change it.
Thanks for your in depth review! Does the internal recording imbed timecode from camera?
Good question, I’ll check next time I have chance.
@@PaulJoy haha thanks! Well I have this set now and can tell that camera timecode is not imbedded. Monitor recordings all start with 00:00 🙏🏽🙏🏽
when im having one xlr mic how many channels is best in camera settings?
2 channels, you can record the mic on to both of them at different levels or just have them the same.
Thanks 🙏. I bought it after seeing your video but then I realized this monitor doesn't have a photoshooting button. Even when I change the mode from video to other photo mode but there is only a record button. Do you have any tips on how to take photos for yourself except using the phone app ?
Yeah it’s primarily for video so it doesn’t offer photography options. You can get various wireless shutter release devices, I haven’t tried any so can’t recommend anything. Hope you figure it out.
Great explanation.
Glad it was helpful!
Do I need an expensive color checker with all the colors or would a simple grey/white card be enough? (for video)
Not at all, a grey card or even white paper is fine for a custom white balance. The colour checker is a good choice as it also allows you to adjust colours in post to be accurate but not necessary just for white balancing.
Hello @PaulJoy. I have this monitor and a Sony A7S3. Since I upgraded the camera's firmware to 3.0, every time I turn off and on the camera, the monitor fails to automatically connect to the Wi-Fi signal, which it used to do before. Do you have this same problem with your FX3? Best.
Hi, it was possible in previous A7S3 firmware versions to keep the WiFi running after a reboot but unfortunately that's no longer the case.
Yes, it used to work well but unfortunately after a Sony update the connection works in a different way that means the connection is not retained after a reboot of the camera.
I find the explanation confusing in terms of what combo of settings look smooth and what does not. Your different examples all look pretty smooth to me. My takeaway from the video is that the popular 180 degree shutter angle which gives natural blur of the motion pictures, in post production, should be calculated from the editing timeline frame rate and camera shutter speed. Not really from the camera frame rate. Thus the 360 degree shutter technique is useful when shooting 50p for editing on a 25p timeline. It also allows you to achieve 180 degree shutter by applying half speed slow motion (50p -> 25p) which is a bonus. Very useful information. Thank you!
Yes sorry, it’s quite a tricky thing to explain, your summary is correct so I think you have it :)
Is the screen black with backlight full up, i have the older model and this is a bit of a problem. Great video, thanks.
Not sure what you mean?
@@PaulJoy I mean does light leak through a problem with this type of monitor but not with OLED
@@HISPEKK The contrast is much better than other monitors I own, it retains blacks very well. Saying that, it's not going to compete with a good OLED display in terms of blacks.
It only shoot 4k30 fps it don’t 4k24 or 4k60
It should do 4K 24, but yes 4K 30 is max input signal.
What gain settings do you use for your rode shotgun combined with the UTXP40? When using my Rode NTG5 with it I can hear background hiss. However, when using the NTG5 with the older UTX PO3 it sounds perfect.
I normally have the gain at -6 but I’m using the mkh416 mostly. It shouldn’t add hiss though, that sounds a bit strange!
Very nice video! 🎉 I have very similar experience with the Smallrig Star-trail or how its called. I used their VND to cover two stop gaps on my rectangle filters. Then it has less color cast. Its really annoying tho that I still havent found a VND that just works. The convenience and precision of exposure is fantastic, but there id always a downside. Especially when we look at VND options for matteboxes.
Yup, I think it's just a limitation of using polarisation. To this day the best experience I've had is the electronic ND in Sony cameras like the FS5 and FS6. I wonder who will be the first to put that in a mirrorless style body.
@@PaulJoy if BlackMagic 6k can be called mirrorless body, that is the only one that comes to mind. I have heard a lot of good things about Sony FS. What was your general experience? Would you consider FX6 as its comparable form factor.
@@ReiDoesIt I’ve used the BMD 6K I’m im not a fan of the form factor, great UI and images though. FS5 was good in its day but limited by the rubbish EVF and tiny screen. I really like the FX6 and would love to have one but for me the image stabilisation and small form factor of the FX3 made more sense for the work I use it for.
How do I do that? Mine shuts off when I change the FPS
Check your HDMI output settings, I can’t remember what I had set when I made this short but you should able to set the HDMI output separately from the recording settings.
Can you show a full setup start to finish of this, you did one but didn't but the fx3 top handle on top.... Thanks!
Does the Ninja Flame have the same LUT exposure issues?
I’ve not used the Flame so not sure.
Thank you for this tutorial. How do you connect the Lav and handheld to work together? is that possible?
My system is single channel so I’d need to use both receivers connected to two audio inputs to do that.

Are you using a custom memory mode? For some strange reason Sony don't let you change the WB when doing that.
@@PaulJoy uuuuh yes I am. That’s probably why. That’s so silly. Thank you for letting me know this. I appreciate that.
Amazing infos liked your style. Does this monitor show the exposure metering +1.7 +2?
Thanks, no it doesn’t show the cameras metering on the the monitor.
@@PaulJoy Oh this is so sad. The red recording and the other infos are so useful. Thanks for the answer
Would this be accurate enough for also being used as a reference monitor?
I’m not sure to be honest, I don’t have any experience with reference monitors.
Great review. Thanks
You're welcome, thanks for watching and letting me know.
how does this compare to the atomos sumo 19 SE?
I've not tried the Sumo so can't say, sorry.
It's not 30p, that means 30 vertical pixels, it's p30, as in 1080p30. They also say that 16K is 8K, it makes no sense. 2K would be 1080p because 2K horizontal pixels, but it's not. Companies are liars who push marketing lies. 1K means 1000, but the monitor is in 16:9 mode, so you round up to 1080 because it's divisible by 12, a perfect number. This is why a 2K monitor 2560x1440p, because it's UHD, which is four HD 720 images. When you put four 1K monitors, you get a 4K monitor, but not because it has about 4K horizontal pixels, but that would mean 1440p is a 2.5K monitor, but it's not because you mulitply 2560*1440=3686400, which is 2K, or double 1080p pixel count. What people are calling 8K is actually sixteen 1K monitors, or a 16K monitor, or sixteen 1080p/1K monitors. It's mathematical facts. Don't recite manufacturer lies unless debunking them.
While I appreciate and understand your point we also have to deal with common terms and most people that I deal with will take 30p as meaning 30 progressive frames per second as opposed to 30 interlaced frames per second. The same is true of the HD, 4K (UHD) and 8K, they are general terms.
@@PaulJoy Why not say 30Hz? What's wrong with using scientifically accurate words? Oh yeah, marketing BS.
@@CaleMcCollough How is calling a 30 fps Progressive Scan clip 30p marketing BS?
@@PaulJoy No one uses 10080i30 anymore, which means 30hz interlaced 1080vp (vertical pixels). It's how we've listed monitors my entire life. No one says 30p except for people who use Sony cameras, who falsely claim their 33MP A7C II and A7 IV are 8K because k now means 8 thousand horizontal pixels. It doesn't make any sense, it's literally just BS marketing rhetoric because it sells cameras, not because they are right. But for some reason modern Sony cameras don't have p30 H.265??? I hate this with a passion. Sony makes no sense a lot of time.
@@CaleMcCollough Seems an odd thing to get hung up about when cameras have been describing framerate and scan modes as 25p and 25i as long as I've used them. Anyway, interesting chat.
at 11:15, the camera information can't show the fps? such as 25fps shown on your fx3 screen? that would be helpful if so
No, that isn't shown on the monitor.
Why does the Shinobi display HD 50p even when camera records 4K 25? Should it not display HD 25? Or is it something I don’t get?
Likely because it is actually receiving 50p. For example with the FX3 in Cine EI mode even if shooting at 25p the camera sends the HDMI signal as 50p.
@@PaulJoy thank you. But why does the camera send 50p through the hdmi then?
Great video, you convinced me to buy a LH5P II Just a question though, im not sure if it’s just me but it seems like the image that the monitor is giving is way more contrasty and inaccurate than usual? Played around with the contrast setting but still doesn’t feel right. And yours seems to not require any adjustment. As for right now my feelworld looks way better than my portkeys which doesnt make any sense.
Hi there. A lot will come down to whether you're shooting in Log and if so which LUT you're using. In my experience the Portkeys monitors do need to be adjusted for colour accuracy however I've not changed any contrast settings on mine. Bare in mind also that I'm filming the screen and that doesn't always result in it looking exactly as it does to the eye.
By far the best review of the Porkeys LH 5P II with the Movnorm firmware update. I had a bit of difficulty connecting the monitor to my Sony A7R V but finally figured it out. There a couple of controls that don't work with the A7R V but hopefully that will get sorted out as they advertise compatibly with Sony cameras. I ordered a Nitze cage and a Neewer camera monitor mount to mount the monitor on my SmallRig full camera cage. Thanks for the great review.
Really pleased you like it, thanks for letting me know and enjoy the new rig!
@@alpho2010 I have a FX3 and AR7V, what issue did you have and how did you solve it?
@@pc1x1 I could not get the signal from the camera to the monitor, it was a setting issue.
but your video is uploaded to UA-cam at 25fps
The video is about shooting 50 fps for delivery at 25fps.
After connecting my Sony A7 iv to the Portkeys LH5P II via WiFi it did not show the image coming from my camera. The menu looks completely different from everyone else’s online too. I’m super confused. This is my second monitor because I returned the first one thinking it was defective. But now the second one is having the same issues. Now it does display the image connected via HDMI but again the menu doesn’t look like it should. It still has all the settings like record, shutter, ISO etc. but I can’t swipe right, left, up or down. I can’t find anyone with the same issues online and I’m really confused. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
It likely has the newer firmware on it. Have a look at my videos and watch the one about the movnorm update.
@@PaulJoy That’s what Portkeys told me. I contacted them after I posted this. They sent me a link for the latest firmware update and some instructions on how to connect my Sony to the monitor. They said if I was still having trouble getting an image to contact them again. I am about to go through the steps that they gave me I. I just don’t know why I’m still not getting an image when connected by Wi-Fi but thank you for your response. I will let you know how this unfolds.
No image is sent using the wireless, that’s only for control data. The image is sent via HDMI cable.
@@PaulJoy So you're telling me when you connect via Wifi that you can't monitor your image? That it's only good for controlling the settings?
@@ShawnBustamante You need to use both together. The HDMI cable carries the video & audio from the camera to the monitor and the wireless connection allows control of the camera and data from the camera to be displayed.
Hi, I can´t reply recorded footages on my fx3 when I connect the PORTKEYS LH5P II :/ I have to disconnect a hdmi cable and then it works. Have you tried it? Could you advise me how to set fx3 correctly... Many thanks
Yup, that’s a Sony thing, when a monitor is connected via HDMI you have to watch the playback on that.
Hi, Great video, a lot of useful information. I am really considering getting this monitor. One question, does the monitor still display image when I record 4k 120p on my Sony camera? It would be a dealbreaker as I record birds in flight so I require to shoot in 120p. Thanks 😊
It won’t display a 120fps signal but your HDMI output might not be 120fps even when your recording at that framerate. Can you set the HDMI output in camera?
Thank you for this. I know it’s a fairly old video now, but I keep coming back to it. I have also played around a lot with shutter speeds and watched a lot of old cowboy movies (for instance), freeze framing the action. What really surprised me was just how much blur these old movies show, to the point where in many still frames, the whole picture was totally motion blurred. This made me think more about shutter angle because it looks to me as though the old cinema stuff might well have been using a slower shutter, judging from the amount of blur. The other thing that no one seems to talk about is the black gap between each frame. The movie would be in 24 fps with each frame shown for 1/48th sec with a 1/48th second gap to move the film. Therefore, the 180 rule is actually 100% of the shown picture time, not 50% I still feel that the amount of blur in say, John Wayne films is more than 180 degrees! So I played around with 360 degree shutter since we have no black frames so that the blur matched the distance a subject traveled in the same amount of time as a frame. Results weren’t as blurry or smeared and many might think. Handheld, a shutter at 1/25th is a bit too slow but on a tripod, fine. I quite liked it and often, when using a low frame rate, I now use a 270 degree shutter to make movement appear smoother. For 60fps, I use 1/60th and imo, it does look nicer. However, we all seem to ignore that black frame that should appear as it does in film projection. Not sure what exactly happens with modern digital movies, but I do see terrible judder in most movies shown in the cinema. Perhaps less care taken over camera movement these days, but I am extremely sensitive to it and find it really annoying. Thanks for an interesting video. As I said earlier…. I keep coming back to it!
Hi there, thanks so much for this comment, I’d not given any thought to how much of the 24 fps was dedicated to the mechanics of pulling the film down on old cinema cameras and projectors before. I’ll have to have a play with that one!
I Guess 48fps with every other frame being black. This stops what is called, ‘persistence of vision’. What this means is that the motion blur stretches across 1/48th second, followed by 1/48th second black. The brain then inserts what it thinks the motion should be, giving smoother movement. It’s an optical illusion. My TV inserts black frames and it starts to look a little more ‘movie like’ when it’s on. So you get 1/48th of motion blur and 1/48th of brain insertion which (I guess) might insert the same amount for you, giving (kind of) 48fps at 360 degrees and this was originally a measurement used to calculate the best frame rate/smoothness/cost. Unfortunately not in movies possible because film needed the black frame to change the picture which suggests that perhaps we should be videoing at 50 or 60fps with 360 degree shutter! I have never been totally convinced by 24fps. When I was younger, I used film at 16fps and it always looked like poor home movie to me. Even then in the 60’s. 24fps just about works but imo, with a mostly still camera. Some movies are ghastly I think. We all seem to be hanging on to that frame rate, but the medium that we now use has drastically changed but we seem to ignore it. Especially with fast displays that don’t allow for persistence of vision. It’s a funny old topic, but one that has interested me for a long time because of this (quite often) total acceptance of 24fps, even on 60hz screens. It’s kind of become a burned in rule, like the 180 degree rule that more often than not, I break. In fact, at slow frame rates, I prefer a 270 degree shutter or even more. This is a topic that isn’t really discussed much on UA-cam. It’s always assumed that 24fps is the one that is ‘best’ without really analysing why it’s the best. I think when it’s done well, it looks fantastic, but there are many, many examples of poor camera control at 24fps and that slow frame rate makes it appear actually worse in some cases. I think faster frame rates are more forgiving of poor camera control but 24 needs more attention to detail and how you move the camera.
