Re: Z9 ! : Official thread for Z9 images and discussion
Some videos from today. I had a very cooperative Northern Mockingbird so I was able to perform a quick test of different video resolutions and frame rates.
These are all straight out of camera.
YouTube is still processing some of these so it could be a while before they are available at full resolution.
8k 30 FX
4k 30 FX
4k 60 FX
4k 60 DX
4k 120 2.3x crop - Looks like YouTube doesn’t support the 120 fps directly and adjusts it down to 60 fps.
I'll post the 4k 120 as 4k 60 at half speed so if you run it in YouTube at 2x it'll be at 120 fps. That's the only workaround I could find.
Something I see in all the videos is a bit of motion. I'm not sure if it is the lens VR (I'll have to try another test with it off), me on the tripod head handle or something else. I believe the IBIS is off with the 600mm mounted so I don't think it is that.
I've run the 8k footage through Final Cut Pro X and was able to easily stabilize out the little bit of movement. I then ran it through Compressor and I get a H.264 file size of just under 1 GB. I'll get that video up into YouTube soon also.
Here is the 8k after I tweaked in FCPX.
