So changing the aperture is the key to bringing false colors up to mid-range. All mine are so low, its always purple and red at the bottom of the spectrum even with lots of light. I didn't know how to raise them. It's the aperture you have to change. Is that right? Your videos are awesome by the way. Really learn alot from you.
Thanks so much!! It's really just about exposure overall. You can open your aperture (lower number), lower your shutter speed, or increase your ISO. All of those things will increase the exposure of the image. Just make sure the shutter speed stays at least double your frame rate (ie. 24fps / shutter speed 50).
Not too much, but I feel like I haven’t had any issues from 400 to 1250. They say 3200 is the second base ISO, but it just always ends up too noisy for me.
best trick I ever learned was this. I adjust my ISO to a good healthy general number first. 400 example. I then decide on aperture how much depth of field I want, this is a creative decision. now that you have what you want, go ahead and dial in your false color in real time with a variable ND filter. Its like a magic trick. I even stole the tilta mirage idea and put a gear ring on the VND and a follow focus.
I'm a little embarrassed. I had this bmpcc 4k for 2 1/2 years and didn't know what false color was. Partly because I also use a canon that I keep on auto for everything. Now I know thanks to this video, It will surely save me time I'm sure. Thank you so much!
I use false color often, but pay attention on those two things: 1. screen brightness could distort your vision of exposure, so often look at a low brightness (4-10%) image of your scene to see what you will expect during color grade. 2. The false color inside davinci resolve is completely different between the one on camera so if you use it keep this in mind !
Hey Greg, when I first bought my BMPCC 6K it didn't display the meters either. It came with a later firmware update. My guess would be you need to check and see if you are updated to the latest firmware version. Hopefully that solves it for you!
FINALLY an explanation of what the false color function is about that makes perfect sense to me. Thank you.
So glad it was helpful!
This video was really useful for me, thank you!

Thanks for the straight forward video 💥
Very usefull, good tutorial and straight at the point! :D Good job Ryan, keep up the good work :)
Thanks for watching! Glad you found it useful.
Answered my questions perfectly! Thanks man!
Glad to hear it!
thank you so much bro-by the way what app did you use on your phone to control the black magic camera????
If you search for “blackmagic” in the App Store there are a couple… Bluetooth+ is what I was using, but now the new Blackmagic app
Thank you! So helpful
Really good useful video, thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Do you mess with your iso much then? I see your at the well-lit native iso of 400 in this

Yep… VND can be a serious game-changer. The auto VND on the Sony Fx6 is incredible!
❤ perfect explanation, thanks 🎉

That’s awesome!! Once you use it it’s hard to go back, haha. So glad it was helpful.

True, if only all cameras / software would commit to a false color setup across the board, it would make it SO much easier, haha
@@ryanfurrcreative yeah! In a world where a boxed blackmagic exist 😂
@@lucabortolamithis comment aged well
@@sonerarslan4686 really 😂😂😂😂

But why there is only part of the face green, Half of it is grey. Is it OK?
That just the brightness of the shot. There is shadow on part of the face so it is darker. I just depends on how you are lighting someone.
Why does noone tell you how yo have the graph on the screen? I have my set to "display meters" and yet there aren't any displayed!
Hey Greg, when I first bought my BMPCC 6K it didn't display the meters either. It came with a later firmware update. My guess would be you need to check and see if you are updated to the latest firmware version. Hopefully that solves it for you!
Update....you go to the second page of the monitor menu and click "status text" to be on. Not very obvious imo.
@@rainifyoulike Gotcha, yeah seems like that should just be the default
if you tap in that area the color graph will pop on and off
@@flipnap2112 Good call!
Thanks for this. Right to the point and super helpful!
So glad it was helpful!
