Change Project properties in Master Settings to match the resolution (4K) and the frame rate (29.97) just like for any video. This step is the only additional step differing from shooting standard video, except that since slimraw transfers and compresses in one step, it really is not an additional burden. But slimraw is more efficient (the general point is that computer processing is almost always better than in-camera processing, including debayering sensor data). slimraw does what cameras used to do until RED required payments for in-camera lossless compression of true RAW video files.

The process of compressing and transferring took 2 minutes. In this case the 16 folders (each folder is a shot) that took up 44 GB on the Samsung SSD drive were reduced to 37%, so I only needed 16.27 GB of storage. Your original files stay on the Samsung SSD of course.

slimraw places all the folders that were shot into the disk and folder you designate and losslessly compresses them. I used the program slimraw to compress and transfer the files from the Samsung ssd to my computer disk (one step). It is just for viewing while shooting and getting exposure right.Īfter shooting for a few minutes it was time to create a video. With RAW, picture mode is irrelevant to output - it is not baked in. I chose no 'picture mode,' which comes closest to a flat profile so that exposure better reflects the full dynamic range of the sensor.

The shooting experience is just like that of most cameras - I shot using manual mode with auto ISO and auto WB (not that the WB setting matters at all). I used the Canon 24-70 L lens attached to the Sigma L-EF adapter. I received the camera this afternoon and shot a test video, with a Samsung SSD attached, selecting 4K 30p DNG RAW.
