Film/cinematic look issue

tty0746 — Sun, 21 Jun 2020 20:32:52 GMT

Model: G7X MIII (latest f/w)

I'm shooting 4k at 23.976 fps, along with a 1/50 shutter speed. The footage looks as intended when playing back on the camera. However, when playing on my 4k TV, I lose the cinematic effect. Specifically, when playing back on my TV, the video looks as if it was shot at 59.94 fps (in other words, loses motion blur, and is super fluid).

I've viewed YouTube 23.976 fps videos on my TV, and they all retain that cinematic look.

I've also imported my 4k/23.976 footage into Premiere, and downscaled it to 1080p. Same issue.

What am I missing here?

"The footage looks as intended when playing back on the camera."

Problem solved. You do not have a camera problem. You have either a problem with your Premiere software or your TV.

Premiere has been removed from the equation, as playing the raw footage directly on my TV (without editing) consists of the same issue.

Also, there’s no way that my TV has the ability to upscale this footage, as the parameters are baked into the footage.

Something else is going on here.

There are some significant gaps and unknowns in what you have been saying. It is next impossible to reproduce your scenario without more details on EXACTLY what you are doing. What connects to what? How are you processing the video? Etc.

For example, where is the signal the drives the TV originating? If the video playback looks fine in the camera, then connecting the TV to the HDMI output of the camera should look fine, too!
