Hi Guys,
I have a project soon that will be shot indoors of an event that will be quite dark. I went and did some test shooting at 4k/60, and the footage was not too noisy, but my big concern was how soft/blurry the video looked. It made me think the Air 3 was doing some heavy noise reduction while saving the file. Would I be better to shoot in 1080 instead? I can't got down to 30fps (which I understand would bump the shutter speed down and increase light to the sensor) as we will have some action and will likely need to slow down in post depending on client desires. I expect to downsize the 4k footage anyway as it will mostly be for social media and web promo.
Does the Air 3 bin 4 pixels in video if you select 1080 instead of 4k, thereby "boosting" light gain? I cannot seem to find any definite answer. If not, seems like it would be best to shoot in 4k and then (hopefully) gain back some sharpness in the downsize to 1080.
Opinions...
