    I believe with the latest firmware, the Action 4 normal color profile supports 10-bit already. In your comparison, the Normal profile exposes better but it bump up the contrast level a bit too much (look at the floor near the building as an example). So it depends what you prioritize and for me exposure is a tad more important so I will be sticking to Normal color profile for now.

    • @TravelingAhn
      @TravelingAhn  Před 7 měsíci +1

      Nice, I appreciate your thoughts on why you would want normal profile! I'll definitely check out the 10 bit Normal Color Profile and see if I need to update. Thank you as always for supporting the channel 🙏

      What does having 10bit in normal mean?….does it just mean you can colour grade normal footage a lot better now without having to use DlogM?

    The last part of the video in dark conditions with the gimbal convinced me enough to get the action 4. My only "concern" was that the op3 is better in the dark but honestly action 4 does a great job as well with the help of the gimbal.
    Ps: where to get it, Amazon? Keep it up

    Stumbled upon this video as I've been underwhelmed with the color quality on my Osmo Action 4. I was using GoPro for the longest time, then tried an Insta Ace Pro, then this camera. The other two cameras had presets that had warm/good color, at least to me. I feel like the Osmo Action 4 looks flat/dull and it feels like I"m going to have to learn a bunch of post-editing stuff to get it to look good. Bit bummed about that.

    Hi. I have the pocket 3 for a couple of months and I am super happy with it. I also watched some of your videos regarding pocket 3. Recently I was thinking that it would be great to complement the p3 with the action 4(to use in water/under rain, etc) but I watched a couple of the reviews here on youtube and the harsh sharpness stopped me to go ahead with the purchase. In the beginning of your video I was disappointed again with the sharpness until you showed in d-log... and man.... apart it looked better colours also that's the way to get rid of this ugly sharpness in normal mode. is just reduced to an acceptable level. Much better. Now, with this video, you just made me to come back to action 4. Just to let you know, regarding the gimbal you used with action 4 is absolutely not necessary in daylight. Look at the stabilization, is just awful. Maybe in low-light will be helpful. Anyway, Thank you so much for all your videos you do. Some of them are really helpful. You do a great job! Ohhh... forgot to ask, do you know if action 4 works well with the dji mic 2? is same quality as with the osmo pocket 3? Thanks

      Hello, here is the setting I use when I am specifically vlogging (with a emphasis on Cinematic motion blur. Here is the link to the Action 4 Vlog I posted about a month ago.
      DJI Action 4
      -DJI Action 4 Selfie Stick paired with the Insta360 Tripod stand
      -4K
      -16:9
      -30 or 60 FPS (Preference) with the 180 degree rule shutter speed of 30/60 or 60/120 (You need ND Filters for this though)
      -If you don't have ND, you need to do Auto Settings with Shutter Speed at 1/200-1/8000.
      -EV is about preference, but I usually go -0.3
      -Stabilization, I prefer Horizon Balancing
      - ISO I will keep Auto from 100-1600, but if you want to lock in that's up to you.
      - HEVC with 10 Bit D-Log M, apply DJI Lut and do minor color-grading.
      - Sharpness -2 and Noise Reduction -1 or -2
      - I use the DJI Mic 2 for Audio, but if not, I go with just using all the internal mics, but that's a preference of the user. I wouldn't utilize Wind reduction ever since you can do that in post with your program of choice.
      Hope that helps!

    Very nice video Adam. I tended to prefer the Action 4 to the Pocket 3 for a question of convenience. The other day though I discovered the HLG profile for HDR videos of the pocket 3 and it really blew me away. I hope one day they add HLG color profile to the Action 4 also. It would be wonderful if you made a video about HDR in the future.

    I think they made the P3 normal color profile 10 bit, but the A4 I am pretty sure is 8bit in normal. It does seem to suffer from the same face exposure issue that the P3 suffers from in DLOG, but isn't horrendous. At the end of the day its an action camera, and if you have a good story and good audio, no one really cares if its a tad over or under exposed, or if its 8bit or 10 bit. We are not shooting feature films with our action camera's, even if we want to think we are. 🤣🤣

      Yeah for sure, it's really quite simple to apply the DJI Lut for the Action 4. The provided Lut really doesn't need much tweaking at all, you can totally get a better picture than normal color profile in most cases even if you do not color grade the D-Log M with the DJI Lut.
      Just apply it to which ever software you utilize, here is the link to the Lut for the Action 4: www.dji.com/kr/downloads/softwares/dji-osmo-action-4-d-log-m-to-rec-709-vivid-lut

    LOL. That yee-haw had me rolling! I really find a lot of value in your videos, even though I have to test things out for myself eventually. I noticed that D-Log M softened skin tones up even on the Pocket 3, but not to that degree. If the Action 4 normal color settings made Adam Ahn look 35, it would probably make everyone else look like skeletons! LOL. I honestly think I'm going to stick with D-Log M unless I know I'm going to be shooting specifically with the sun at my back. I honestly think it's more true to life when compared to what the human eye sees, whereas the normal color mode on the Pocket 3 may be enhancing things really well in that specific scenario.
