McHale Fusion

Had this in yesterday to bale three fields which wouldn't go in the pit.
Next week will be all proper hay as weather looks perfect for it.
Have to do some wrapped as hay needs to be kept undercover and don't have enough shed space for all of it.



This is with the RX100 which while *potentially* very good at video is rather demanding to use.
After playing with EOSHD I've decided I don't like it and am using the PP6 profile with my own modifications.
It looks a little flat and unsaturated but is nice to work with.

What I missed doing in this video is setting White Balance manually and locking exposure. 
The WB presets can be used, but a custom setting on the day will likely be best.
The crucial thing is to stop it shifting during recording on Auto - which is difficult to address when editing.
If the preset or custom is a bit out at least it will be fairly simple to tweak later.

My PP6 mods:

Black Level -1
Gamma: Cine2
Black Gamma: Range = Middle, Level = -2
Knee Manual with Point = 95% and Slope = +2
Color Mode: Cinema
Saturation -1 (the camera tends to saturate a bit too much)
Color Phase +1
Color Depth: R= +1, G= -1, B= +1, C= -1, M= -1, Y= -1
