AJA CION Camera Tests | #TryCION

Test shooting at the Sporting Kansas City vs. FC Dallas match.

Used on tripod and CION shoulder rig with a Zacuto Z-Finder.

 

• Codec: Apple ProRes 422 HQ 2K
• FPS: 60
• Gamma: Normal
• Color Correction: Skin Tones
• WB: 5600K
• EI: 1000 (Canon 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6)

 

 

The camera struggled with the amount of light available in the stadium, which resulted in shooting 80% of the time at EI 1000.

Nearly all of my footage was still very underexposed. I used a curves adjustment to raise my levels and pull up my shadows.

I found that the noise introduced is very pleasing and looks organic. It looks great for a gritty soccer match. Shadows are much easier to recover than your highlights, as they are typically.

Fast lenses are a must! Rokinon Cine DS lenses make a great indy filmmaker lens set for this camera thanks to Wooden Camera Canon EF to CION Mount adapter.
