I didn’t like the new AWB parameters. I will change...

In the near future there will be a new version of the modified firmware ...

I want to adjust the AWB and metering table.

I want to adjust the AWB and metering table.

In low light conditions using MOD1.3 I think the dark areas were a bit too bright.

Good colour and metering in this backlit scene recorded with MOD1.3.

Sorry - no sunshine tests. Perhaps later today if the sun comes out!

Observations
Noise control is very good. Colours are accurate. Dynamic range is also very good, without trying to make the shadow areas too bright which results in a 'flat' image.

Obviously the F2.8 lens is not ideal for dashcam use in low light, but that's not the primary function of this camera. Hopefully GitUp will bring out a faster lens for the F1, or someone else might find a suitable alternative 4K lens?

According to the results of testing the firmware MOD # 1.5, I come to the conclusion that
I need to raise the gamma curve in the bottoms and work a little with sharpness in 1440p and 1080p modes.

So your MOD#1.5+Sharp improves 4K, as well as 1440p and 1080p?

 

[Falsificator]

The sharpness settings have been changed so far only for the specified video resolutions.
Tomorrow I will do a 4K resolution check and give a link to the new version of the firmware...
