Shot this earlier this week during the Feast of St Joan. I think it came out pretty cool.

The topic was: "put your imagination in the form of a sensor".. Imagine that you're just a sensel in a sea of endless sensels. Would you want to collect light, what would be the point?

The official EOSHD discussion thread for all things lens related!

The Panasonic GH4 is $1699 and available here at B&H Photo Video Today only - tune into the B&H Studio GH4 live broadcast here (starting 1PM EDT) The Panasonic GH4, is it a cinematic monster or a wimpy video camera? It's a monster. Even compared to the full frame 14bit raw from the 5D Mark III the GH4 holds its own. It represents a big return to form for Panasonic, a consumer camera that pushes way beyond the image provided by the GH3 and AF100. As a 4K camera never has the format been so practical to shoot as it is with the GH4. With file sizes 8x less than on the nearest competitor and a price 5x less expensive than the Canon 1D C, the GH4 is the most exciting camera I have ever shot with at EOSHD.

Sony A6000 with Zeiss 50mm F1.4 on Speed Booster The Sony A600 is the best Sony consumer camera yet for video. A Nikon D5300 in a mirrorless body, with far more features, the image quality is closer to the FS700 in 1080p than to a NEX 7 or A5000. The pristine sharp EVF, a magnified focus assist which can be activated whilst recording (rare!), peaking, zebra, 16:9 screen and of course the mirrorless form factor. This is arguably the best current 'cheap' camera for video, de-throning the GH2 and GH3. At just $650 it is an absolute bargain. Read the full article here

NB: Sample videos will come next week If you want a nice 1080p camera that is packed with features and doesn't cost very much then there's now two really nice options available from Sony and Panasonic. The A6000 is certainly Sony's best performing mirrorless camera yet for video with an APS-C sized sensor vs the Micro Four Thirds sensor in the GX7. I've been shooting with both to decide which one to keep. Read the full article here

Any ideas on why we can not view NTSC 1920 24p .mov footage on an external wireless monitor? 30p works fine but not 24p which is critical for our film. I've tried both analog and HDMI connections and they both give the same result (no picture). I've read the manual front to back and cant find anything. I don't believe its the monitor, since other cameras show picture in 24p in the .mov format. PLEASE HELP!!!

I don't know at what point OK Go's music turned into New Order but I like it just as much as their choice in camera! Here's the behind the scenes video of how OK Go made their latest video with the Panasonic GH4.Read the full article here

Without oweing having one myself, I would suggest the you look at your shutter angel, if it is too high it will look jittery I think..

For 2x anamorphics, I still say that it's the 5Diii with ML raw. The 4:3 acquisition means that you can get by without a monitor if you need to (which you can anyway with 1.5x anamorphics).

I used to use iResolution, but it makes edges of trees and grass too sharp. It's basically like the Clarity slider in Lightroom. The other stuff.. I use iDynamic on High usually. It really brings out a lot of range. Then +2 shadows, -2 highlights. This is useful when outdoors and you want some more detail in the sky and dark areas. However it can sometimes make skin look a little too flat. And finally, I use Neutral picture style with -2,-5,-3,-5 (Contrast, Sharpness, Saturation, NR). And then graded with a Fuji 400 LUT and some tweaking with Colorista: By the way, did you end up getting the Panasonic 14-50mm?

Is anyone else experiencing slower autofocus on their GH4 than on their GH3?

The 1080p image quality gains from a 4K GH4 file are well documented, but I've got a basic workflow question to extract the maximum IQ from my 4K files destined for FullHD output: I've got a basic two cam interview I shot with the GH4. I'm wondering how to maximize the extra information when outputting to 1080p. Will I have equal sharpness and color information gains if I edit on a 1080p timeline and output to 1080p as if I edit on a 4K timeline and output to 1080p? Is it the same effect in the end?

I will ech For scaling footage, selecting the maximum render quality definitely helps, but takes longer to render. I typically disable both options for preliminary renders, and enable them for my final render.

Alright guys, sorry for the long wait. So here's a quick test I just did earlier today using my GH4, Isco 2x, 55mm, SLR magic 0.33x and 1.33x diopters. I can honestly say, it definitely makes a huge difference for close focus, and it's very sharp. I'm very satisfied about purchasing these. SLR 1.33x diopter SLR 0.33x diopter

Ok ended up getting the Nocticron and I'm glad I did. Such an amazing lens!
