1. MASTER PED – Had the camera going into FCP and I brought up the scopes. The Waveform monitor didn’t hit 0 IRE (black) until Master Ped was set at -3. I might even go to -4.

2. Green LCD – Mine has the tiniest, tiniest green cast when compared to my calibrated broadcast monitor. They are nearly identical and I would not hesitate in using the on-board LCD to approximate color. I also have a Lilliput 7″ monitor that it noticeably different. Not going green, but in the opposite direction. Kind of surprised by this overall as I expected to have the extreme green issues others have seen. But I don’t.

3. ISO – okay, maybe I need to read the manual but is there a faster way to set an ISO other than assigning it to L/M/H ??

4. The onboard waveform is mismatched to my waveform in FCP. 100IRE in FCP (which seems accurate judging by what i’m seeing on the monitor) is represented well below the 100IRE line on the LCD’s waveform monitor (maybe around 75 or 80). Have to dig deeper on this one because having the on-board WFM will be essential to identify overexposure that otherwise “looks” okay to the eye. Using this so far has helped me avoid clipped skin tones, etc.

5. Last thing I learned is that this new (used) Nikon 135mm f/2.0 is going to be a favorite.

Batteries are charging. will take it out on the street soon.
