If recording 8-bit 4:2:0 XAVC S internally is your thing, then you can do just that and make the most of all the monitoring tools that the Shogun offers. Providing you have the camera turned on, you’ll get an image almost immediately.īefore we get into codecs (the fun bit), it’s a good time to point out that the Atomos Shogun works just fine as an external monitor alone. Hold down the on/off button for a couple of seconds, and ta-dah, the Shogun pops into life. Once you’re all set, you’re ready to turn on. Don’t confuse this with the HDMI Mini, as that’ll be really annoying and will no doubt lead to the blurting of loud expletives likely to offend a passer-by. You’ll also need a HDMI to HDMI Micro cable to connect to the a7S. The solution that works best for us is to use a rail mounted magic arm, which is great if you need the monitor to be in front of your face when shoulder mounting.

It’s a good idea to think about how to mount the recorder to your rig before heading out to shoot. We haven’t tried doing it the other way around, and we suggest you don’t either. Connect your SSD BEFORE turning the Shogun on. Note: Use some common sense when doing this. Next, you need to connect the battery to the Shogun and insert an SSD ready for recording. 1: Getting it out of the box and turning it onīefore smashing down your cereal and bounding out of the house with your brand new Atomos Shogun and an immeasurable sense of excitement for things to come, be sensible and put the batteries on charge the night before to avoid disappointment. Due to my immensely unreliable car leaving me with no option but to take it to a garage near my parents’ house in Midsomer Norton, I ventured to the home of Hot Fuzz (Wells) - all for the greater good, I told myself. Sometimes we don’t even make it out of the office to do our camera tests, but this time I thought I’d make more of an effort.
