Important   Considerations:   Recording   Format   

Pro   Res   or   Raw?

I   recommend   shooting   in   Pro   Res   HQ   not   Cinema   DNG   RAW.

File   Size:   42   minutes   of   Pro   Res   HQ   on   a   64   GB   hard   drive   as   opposed   to   20   

minutes   of   Cinema   DNG   RAW

File   size:   21   minutes   of   Pro   Res   HQ   on   a   32   GB   card,   as   opposed   to   10   

minutes   of   RAW

Pro   Res   HQ   files   can   be   played   directly   from   a   USB   3   hard   drive.

Cinema   DNG   RAW   files   require   a   SSD   drive   (thunderbolt)   or   RAID   array

Pro   Res   HQ   is   10   bit   4.2.2   color   as   opposed   to   Cinema   DNG   12   bit   4.4.4   

color   (not   a   lot   of   difference).

There   is   less   margin   for   error   in   exposure   with   Pro   Res   but   you   can   still   

overexpose   by   one   stop   in   “Film”   dynamic   range.
