What's the deal with camera companies and their fans?
I'm filling in as a mixer for a feature on its last week. I noticed the fans on the camera were pretty loud, tolerable for mediums and wides, but once we get to closeups, it becomes an issue.
I talked to the first AC to see if we could double check the fan settings. It was on low noise, so we switched it to rec low.
However upon our first shot after changing the settings, I didn't notice any difference in the fan noise. Shouldn't the fans just be turning off completely when rolling? (Or as close to off as possible). Is there another setting I'm missing somewhere?
I'm making sure we have enough room tone to help the editors, but man I wish we could just kill these fans.
I double checked the user manual, looks like this is just a loud camera. They really need to design these cameras better and have a larger fan that can spin at a lower RPM.
