Changing sample curve for low contrast videos

[Murmele]

Hello,

I would ask if there is a possibility to change the sampling curve to take low contrast, low saturation curves like the "Technicolor Cinestyle LUT"?

Best regards

Martin

There is no option to specify at recording but you can shoot in flat color profile then adjust in post processing

Where can I change that in the cam?

The flat color profile is available using the latest firmware from Yitechnology website.

In the settings there is a color option which defaults to Yi Color, select that and you should have an option for flat color.

Please be aware though that the flat color profile in my opinion has an issue that it over exposes so you may want to adjust your camera EV - accordingly

They are working on providing manual shutter settings in video in a future release

Oh thank you for the hint. Yes I saw that I don't have the actual firmware but I will update to have a look on it. Thank you!

There is also a beta firmware available that is stable that includes a few extras including 2.7K @ 60fps in 16:9 ration which allows in camera stabilization and lens rectification. Also long shutter night timelapse option as well.
This is available on the Official Yi 4K facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/groups/838989242858914/ - just ask to join and then go to the files section and download the firmware file. Please note this is only for the International version, if you have the Chinese version there is a forum where it is available which is listed on the facebook page, just do a search for Chinese.

Yes if the language is in English then it is the international version, the Chinese version isn't possible to display in English

Is in normal that I can not adjust the wb when choosing flat color?
It is pretty annoying as the picture is too warm with auto wb especially in dark conditions with bulb-light.

Does anyone have any samples of video in the flat colour profile that they could send me, say via dropbox?
I'm getting a Yi4K in a few weeks, and would love to drop a sample shot in to Resolve and see what I can do with the colours.
