Results are getting better with correctly configured capture settings - quite happy with these shots taken from the Royal Coastal Track near Burning Palms south of Sydney.

I still failed to get calibration working on my iMac last night after trying many different screen resolutions. My last option is to remove the external monitors that I have connected and try again. I did however (eventually) get calibration to work on my work PC, so at least I shouldnt get...

Thats good news - hopefully I'll be able to finally calibrate my camera tonight too :)

I have the 27" model too, perhaps the resolution is too high. I have a second monitor I can try it on too.

I have the same blank screen my iMac is 2012 I think. Will have to try the powerup first option tonight.

Stuttering is usually related to shutter speed - if you are filming in bright light then neutral density filters are the answer.

Some people have sent theirs back as there are actually some faulty units. Try setting the sharpness to +1 first though as this will turn off noise reduction and should work a whole let better.

The working theory is that setting the sharpness to +1 is the way to go as it turns off the noise reduction which is what is causing these issues. Find this under the video settings section.

I also read on this site somewhere something that really seemed to change things for me. I shoot in PAL being in Australia, but switching to NTSC and then back to PAL has some sort of a reset effect on the camera. After I did this images were back to amazing sharpness again. Its now one of my...

Sounds like a great plan, will dig out some content.

I use FCPX and find that going from 2.7k to 1080 actually improves things. Have a go at doing some filming with totally standard settings, no changes from the defaults and see if this helps. Also try taking some photos, using JPG and RAW and make sure the RAW shots are nice and sharp just to...

I saw the same thing with my first video. Since then I've dropped the sharpness a little but also make sure I lock the white balance and exposure. Now I dont seem to have any issues. First video with issues: Latest video with no issues:

If you leave your media outside the library, yes you can move it to an external drive. Import your media as linked media (dont copy to library) and request FCPX to create the proxies. Once the proxy creation is finished, you should be able to switch to using the proxy and remove the external...

A quick montage of my xmas away with the Mavic Pro in the Victorian High Country and Jagungal Wilderness area. Enjoy.

I've been trying to work this one out too - will try this tonight. Thanks for the tip.
