Hi

As we know the jack for any external microphone for the XT30 needs to be either connected with a 2.5mm to 3.5 Audio Cable or what I did also was connect Usb-c till 3.5mm Adapter. What I didn't realise is the the setting Mic/remote release when recording with the Saramonic blink microphones differs. In the first couple of film shoots I connected the Usb-c to the Saramonic receiver and the headphones to the back of the Saramonic receiver. The Mic/Remote release was on Microphone. The recording went well, then I bought myself the audio cable connection and everytime I plugged it in the camera told me that I was to check the Mic/Remote release which I wasn't sure what it meant. I looked it up in the manual and the only item it had on this setting was about it being an external shutter release nothing about audio. It is also not under the audio settings. I had it on microphone like the last time I filmed and I checked that the sound was coming into my headphones loud and clear I thought all was good, however, when I downloaded the film into Premier Pro no sound had been recorded. I thought I had checked the audio levels but know now maybe I had checked them whilst I was setting up. I just went ahead with the filming as I could hear the interviewer loud and clear in my headphones and was watching the LCD for focusing and exposure. I realise I can't get the sound back but would be great if you could add something in your manual about this. When I attach my Rode microphone I have the setting under Mic/Remote release on Microphone but when using the Saramonic you have to change it to Remote release. 
Now I have to go back and re shoot the interview with this VIP with an anxious grin and take on the attitude we all make mistakes without getting too many sleepless nights  about it. :)

      LUT doesn't works on resolve

      By Don Barar · Posted

      The backslashes you are referring are just symbols denoting path.  Once you import into these LUTS into Davinci Resolve those backslashes are removed by default and you only see is the true file name which has no backslashes.  Convince yourself of this by opening the LUT folder from the Davinci Resolve Project Settings.  Do you see any backslashes in those LUT names? Of course not.  The only name you see is the one that has the underscores and the periods. These LUTS work as designed without having to change any path names.  However, they need to be set up properly through CSTs and by what is supported in Davinci Resolve.  Hence, the FLog2C film simulation LUTS cannot be used because Davinci Resolve does not support Fuji Gamut color space and the FLog2C gamut. Alternatively, Davinci Resolve does support Flog2 film simulation LUTS because the color space for FLog2 is Rec 2020 and there is an FLog2 gamut. If all you are doing is changing the path names then you are not getting the correct results.

      I found the reddit topic i refere to :  https://www.reddit.com/r/davinciresolve/comments/1pc3f1e/cant_apply_new_fujifilm_gfx_55_lut/ "Update for y'all, It's just like what @ExpBalSat said, it's because of the backslashes in the names break them. I changed the file name and it works now. "   For me it was the solution. Realy annoying if it doesn’t work for you 😕

      Here is the solution to using the Eterna 55 file simulation LUTs in Davinci Resolve.   In general, do not use the FLog2C to film simulation LUTs as they are not supported by Davinci Resolve for two reasons: 1) Davinci Resolve does not support Fuji Gamut Color Space and 2) Davinci Resolve does not support FLog2C gamma.  Instead, use Flog2 which is supported by Davinci Resolve.  Here is an example.  Let's say that you want to use Classic Chrome simulation.  Do the following: Complete your color grade and use a CST to get to Rec 709. Add a node.  Use a CST to convert from Rec 709 to FLog2.  Output Color space is Rec 2020 and Outout Gamut is FLog2. Add a node.  Apply the FLog2 to Classic Chrome LUT Create a combination node from node in steps 2 and 3. Apply a Key to the combination node and adjust the Key Output Gain to get the amount of the combination node that you want applied. So that you do not have to do this over and over again, generate a LUT for the combination node.  Remember to turn off all other nodes before generating the LUT. Hope this helps others. Don

      Thanks for the insights. I think it's really hard to make a decision without having the two side by side!
