Creepy time trying video features with the XH2S|XF23mm F1.4WR (Cheap "Lighthouse" film)
I am a professional in the wedding sector both in photography and video, for a few months now in addition to the a7SIII and the XT5 I have an X-H2S. I tried it for the first time with my friends, we didn't intend this style of video, in fact we were goofing around, but when it came to editing, the style of "The Lighthouse" was perfect.
The sound is ambient, on top of it, the soundtrack of the film. Except for two shots in F-Log2C, everything is Rec.709 with film simulation direct from camera, guess which shots are logarithmic!
It was a nice test to check different things on camera and comparing with my regular use of the a7SIII. The camera feels more delicate to operate with smaller buttons, also Fujifilm cameras have weird decisions, for example you can choose the lock mode for the AWB, but not for AE and AF separately, crazy. Also I miss the option to assign a button the function of tracking and locking detected subject/object regardless of the AF mode, like Sony does, I miss that on photo mode too, at weddings every second counts.
Talking about image quality, is amazing, recording 6.2K 4:2:2 and viewing it on an HD Led TV is amazing and is like, wow, really, am I recording this quality? But even more amazing is recording with film simulations.
P.S: Video was recorded using OpenGate, something like 3:2 aspect ratio, but was edited using 5:4, closer to "The Lighthouse" movie, bc, why not?
