The Lens-Sensor Recipes Podcast

SilverLight Photo Co.

For years, I had searched for the perfect lens-sensor combination; a lens and camera duo that would produce a beautiful image with few adjustments and little post-processing. It would look REAL straight out of camera (SOOC) and be everything I needed and wanted in a camera system. However, as I tested each pair, they all told a different story, and would deliver light to the sensor differently. So, I began tweaking settings, jotting down notes (on index cards) for each lens-sensor combination I

Rode VideoMicro & Zoom F2 “CLOSE” (with Comica Dual Lav)

The Lens-Sensor Recipes Podcast ·

2023/02/07

The way I'm using this mic is a bit different than it was designed. I'm plugging it into the Comica CVM-D03 Dual Lavalier booster pack (which was designed to provide plug-in power for 2 Comica lavalier mics) and it actually works to power AND boost the Rode VideoMicro, which improves the audio quality a lot compared to just plugging this mic into the Zoom F2. I did try that as well, and while it does sort of work (because you can raise the level of the 32-bit float file in post-production) it sounds

Comica CVM-VM20 & Zoom F2 “CLOSE”

The Lens-Sensor Recipes Podcast ·

2023/02/01

It is really interesting how this mic works with the Zoom F2 32-bit float recorder, at this "CLOSE" proximity: It doesn't need much MIC. GAIN (a setting of "1") and what's amazing about this 32-bit float file (from the Zoom F2) is that it actually comes out pretty clean after boosting the level in post-production. I like doing this, because it means you're using very little of the mic's pre-amp (which tends to "color" the signal). This is very different from how you would have to work if using a

Comica CVM-VM20 & Zoom F1 “CLOSE”

The Lens-Sensor Recipes Podcast ·

2023/01/27

Wow...I'm really learning that you can't pre-judge any microphone-audio recorder combination (similar to how I learned that about lenses and sensors). For instance, when testing this mic on OTHER audio recorders, using the MIC. LOWCUT (either the 75Hz or 150Hz setting) sounded really bad (not natural at all). However, when using THIS MIC with both the FOAM + FURRY (included with it) using the MIC. LOWCUT setting of 150Hz sounds pretty good (it sounds accurate, natural and "REAL" as I like to say)

Comica CVM-VM20 & Zoom H1n “CLOSE”

The Lens-Sensor Recipes Podcast ·

2023/01/25

The most important discovery about this microphone-audio recorder combination (specific to this "CLOSE" proximity) is that it sounds much better with the audio recorder's LOW CUT filter ON (set to 160Hz)! This is one of those things I wouldn't have guessed, but at this ("CLOSE") proximity, there is way too much BASS (sounds "boomy") without these LOW CUT settings. I also tried using the MIC. LOWCUT (both of the settings) and they didn't sound good at all, but the 160Hz filter on the Zoom H1n audio

Comica CVM-VM20 & Zoom H1 “CLOSE”

The Lens-Sensor Recipes Podcast ·

2023/01/24

The first thing I always mention when giving settings recommendations for the Zoom H1, is the BEST REC. LEVEL you can be at is 37 (not less...36 sounds WAY worse). Then, if you need to go up from there, it sounds pretty good up to 50, and then the absolute highest I go is 63. There are a couple of other settings configurations that worked pretty well, but 37 really works the best on this audio recorder. So, with the REC. LEVEL of 37, the MIC. BOOST (gain dial) sounds good at 3.5. MORE CUSTOM

Budget Filmmaking AUDIO can be EASY!

If you've tried my "Lens-sensor specific" CAMERA settings, you know how easy getting a good-looking cinematic image can be, yet getting good AUDIO has been a chore, until I recently created a database (along with a system I call my "5 Proximities") that has been making it so EASY to get good audio (most of the time, LOL!)

Shift Lenses for Micro Four Thirds?

There aren't any shift (i.e. "perspective control") lenses available for Micro Four Thirds (at this time) but I've been using a shift ADAPTER (which means I can use almost any Nikon mount lens (including the Tokina 11-16 zoom lens) and I've been loving it!

More Dynamic Range Isn't The Solution

The Lens-Sensor Recipes Podcast ·

2022/06/14

Will having a camera capable of more dynamic range create an image with more dynamic range (with Ansel Adams like detail in the highlights and shadows)? Not if a lens delivers even greater contrast and/or sharpness than the sensor can handle! We start to talk about how I think a better solution is to simply match how light is delivered to a sensor (i.e. the contrast, etc.) and to keep it within the dynamic range it can handle.

Lens Too Sharp And Too Contrasty For Your Camera?

When I was growing up, I read a lot of lens reviews in photography magazines, and sharpness and contrast were always referred to as a positive. However, when I started testing all of my lenses to create "lens-sensor LUTs" (and camera settings recommendations) I've been finding that sometimes too much sharpness and too much contrast reduces the perceptive dynamic range (my new word).
