Compression is very much image dependent. Yes you typically resolve more details from the fluff and the scratches than the image itself from 8mm film. At at 35 mbs the quality for noisy source is good, not great. More of a factor is 8mm film itself is not high resolution. The main reason the...

4GBytes is a file size limit. At 35mbs that around a 15minutes for an 18fps reel. The software will crash at 4GB, but the file safely closes. Reboot is required. This would practically never happen with stock firmware at 8mbs, so there is no file chaptering implemented. The glitch is a long...

I have tried diopters. That might work if the focus was almost in, it wasn't close with the above lens. I expected the sensor needs to be mounted higher. In basic optical terms it makes sense, the longer 16mm lens, requires more distance from the front element to the sensor. Moving too much...

The 12mm is a really good fit, with some overscan. A 12mm macro like this one, should have been the original choice for this hardware. For the active picture is so near 1080p. It would be extremely unlikely that 16mm macro, with no overscan would work in this range, without being a custom...

My lenses order form RMA ELECTRONICS arrived. The AZURE-1228MAC is confirmed to be same lens as the one from Scorpion. The secondary experiment with at 16mm AZ-231622S-MAC hasn't worked, I couldn't get a focus at this short distance.

Yes, as the firmware is re-using the left and right buttons for green tint, any longish presses while framing may also alter the tint. I should probably make the green tint presses longer.

@ThePhage You reminded me how annoying the "Tint" is for saturation. So that can be changed (in English only), something for the next release.

That looks like Mac84 firmware, not 0dan0 v7.1. The original firmware hack didn't modify the boot logo, that is way you didn't see any change on the firmware update. Other big differences: resolution at 1920x1440 (not 1600x1200, remember the stock lens can only resolve ~640x480, more...

Well now you know you are installing firmware. :) So Type B it is.

The boot screen, if updated, will show: I've only used 32GB cards with stand formatting (defaults to FAT32.) If is very new, it likely Type C.

It is unlikely to work, as it has no data on it use as a macro lens, nothing to suggest good focus at ~30mm. So few lens vendors have near focus data and sample images like Scorpion does. I've purchase nearly a dozen random lenses, that seemed okay on paper, but would not focus at the range...

The focus is very tight. This likely not helped by the F2.8 aperture. Scorpion has some slower macro lenses, what would be much easier to focus. I've just never tried them, and RMA doesn't offer the slower lenses. e.g. 16mm F4.0 10MP https://shop.scorpion.vision/products/m12-lens-16mm-f4-1...

As there is 4 times the number of unique pixel processed, so there a more detail and more noise, so the bit-rate does tend to go up. However, more information and higher bit-rate does mean more quality per pixel. It is complex. For the new lens, you will a 3D-printed offset. As for...

Media looks great. The bit-rate is adaptive, it keeps increase the quality (Qp) until it sees an error, then back off the Qp a little, then slowly increases again, it does this continuously. Sometimes the encoder can crash as the encoder is not great. So there is no user bit-rate control. I...

I do find the recent criticisms odd, as I've only added more user control, but otherwise the base exposure logic hasn't change in 4+ months. WB has changed more, but only for more user control, so please share your settings with your results (one without the other is hard to use.) I've added...

@jackmonte1987 Send me a image of you histogram and settings.

I was commenting and replying to sheider, his video has plenty of contrast, but the shadows are more blue, it is different to white-balance.

The blueness here doesn't seem to be a white balance issue, as the bright elements are correct. This is more the film response is non-linear. White balance is a linear RGB gain, this could be the nature of this film stock.

@jackmonte1987 I have scanned dozens of reels from the 50s, 60s, 70s and my own B&W and Ektachrome from 2025, so that is not the issue. Some users report they wanted a brighter images so I added an EV control. Share a photo of the of histogram and your settings. Your images are too bright...

It seems than that it is exFAT, not the media size that is the issue. These units do not support files greater than 4GB, so formatting larger media as FAT32 is of little harm.
