Ah OK I get it now, people on the thread are trying to break the footage. That must be why it looks so horrific. Either that or V-LOG colours are off.

That would explain it. Panasonic think I am a girl! Maybe I need to shoot my parkour and dogs before EOSHD can get a pre-production unit. Remember when they gave me a GH3... and a GH4... and invited me to feedback sessions... This time - nada. Maybe it was the Panasonic CM1 smartphone review?!

Dynamic range is more than just counting the number of grey shades at the end of a chart. It's how colour is handled, the roll off, the codec, noise, a lot of stuff. C5D say nothing about what is usable, what isn't. My Leica M9 came out 7 years ago and it has more usable dynamic range in the raw stills than the latest full frame sensor from Sony in the A7S II (which remember, Sony claimed had 15 stops!! Yeah right)

You only have green, brown and black in your grade. The blacks are crushed big time. I'd recommend starting from scratch and reading up on how to grade properly. There's already too much crap out there that has been graded terribly. You don't want to add to it... trust me.

Have you tried CVP?

Quality is mind-boggling. V-LOG looking a lot less noisy. Do you have anything shot on Standard though?

I am more disappointed with Intel and Adobe. Intel for not giving us any meaningful CPU performance increases for 5 years. Adobe for not testing their software on the new Macbook to ensure compatibility. Apple are just 'meh'... neither bad nor good at the moment... certainly uninspired after Steve Jobs left us.

Bit of a warning from James Miller: "The MacBook Pro touch bar has to be the worst Apple product I have ever purchased. £3,329.00 for endless crashes using Adobe CC products, renders that crash the graphics card resulting in green screen, lockups. The touch bar and the actual keys I really don't seem to be feeling the love for. Everything sounds angry whilst typing with these noisy keys. Fed up with pressing multiple times on the touchbar to adjust screen brightness and volume. Default layouts are rubbish on the touch bar and even when configured don't really do anything useful. Been an Apple user for ever but thats the last Mac I'm going to buy unless they produce something that actually works. 2.5hrs to render a 3 min red film on old MacBook Pro (2 years old) it takes just a few minutes." Sounds like between Adobe and Apple they have managed to truly embarrass themselves.

"6K/24p Anamorphic Video Mode, while fun, is severely hampered by its 4:3 aspect ratio" UM! That's what an anamorphic mode is - 4:3 Someone let our dear friends at Cinema5D know.

The Panasonic GH5 is now officially announced after the Photokina preview phase. Panasonic have released all the details, some of it a little bit controversial. Read the full article

How did you get such close focus with a projector lens, diopters? Very nice feel and mood!

On the Panasonic version you can use AWB. Only on the Sony version I recommend custom WB as Sony's auto-WB is rubbish.

6K setting on the top-left dial. Joystick on the back, nice touch. Redesigned d-pad / click wheel but I'll be using joystick instead. Full size HDMI port rumoured. I hope Speed Booster XL still fits the mount, and ridge above it seems lower?

Original clip looks a bit too colourful as well. Was saturation -5 in-camera? Nice final grade, but was contrast at 0 or -5 in-camera? Should be at 0. Which camera - GH4?

Yes it's all in the guide that comes with your download. Enjoy shooting with it! LX100 still great and I did the same as you, re-bought one!

Answer. Yes.

Just tried the EOSHD Pro Color for Panasonic LUT in Affinity with a raw still from my GH4... works!

Can't fault Canon's lenses, although Sigma EF mount lenses are often better value for money. Fact remains you can't take mirrorless lenses to a different system, so you are stuck with them and have to sell all of them if a new camera from a different system takes your liking. To date I have used my Canon lenses on - Blackmagic Panasonic Sony Olympus Canon of course Fuji (although no IS, AF or aperture control) And with Speed Booster they're even better on crop sensors than the native glass. I only use native glass when I need the best AF speed for stills, or the lens is pretty special in its own right.

How far have the modern camera companies come from the founder of Panasonic and his business principals - http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/16225/konosuke-matsushita-principles A long way backwards by the looks of it!!

It just goes to show that some pros will say anything. Literally just bullshit misleading drivel to get a pay cheque. It's as if reality TV is the new advertising blueprint for Canon. To think this video now has over half a million views and a sales spike in 80D's because of it... All because some dick is prepared to bare face lie through a sponsored video so he can enrich himself. And it totally undermines what we're trying to do, passing knowledge between us on the forum, testing cameras, putting time and money into reviews without any support from Canon at all. They can all go and fuck themselves. The video is so cynical. I hope Canon's dumb pro customers who don't know better do what Scott DickWanker says he does.... selling all the pro Canon gear for an 80D! That would be funny. If Canon want to encourage this, they could have at least fixed the moire and aliasing on it!

It may be that they have even fixed it as S-Gamut is supposed to be a standard colour gamut and having footage shot with all kinds of differently tuned S-Gamuts probably confuses the hell out of professional colourists! The FS5 is the same as A6300. As is A6500. A7S II however we can still play

Thanks for using Pro Color on the video JazzBox. I see you had contrast -5 It would have looked better with the optimal settings in the guide, which have contrast at 0. When you set contrast to -5 it doesn't give you more dynamic range. It reduces the amount of tones between one colour and another = Less colour information in the end result even when you add contrast in post. This is EOSHD Pro Color for Panasonic with Contrast at 0 (optimal, as in guide): And this is at contrast -5 (see how the tones on the face are mashed together?):

Very interesting post Tim. The first part of it you describe is what I mean when I refer to "honesty". For me, honesty in editorial is about emphasis. You can emphasise the positive or the negative. When you take out the negative, readers switch off and they may as well read the manufacturer's website instead or the box. There's a new form of advertorial called a 'balanced review', which are actually 80% positive and 20% negative. That the negatives exist at all in these review is seemingly all they require for 'balance' and I've lost count of the number of times people have mistaken a glossy advertorial piece for a 'balanced review'. It's very easy to do. Likewise it's easy to mistake passion and genuine enthusiasm in the product, for selling too. There are camera reviewers that get accused of this a lot. In the end it comes down to a creative business model which doesn't compromise your content. The mission should be to say anything - even rude things (which often are entertaining and add colour to the debate over a camera) - without links to a manufacturer or PR people. There are not enough business models being tried where the reviewer is completely unattached to a manufacturer, and whenever they get big enough, out come the offers from the PR people to the reviewer in an attempt to get them to self-censor.

I totally agree. It's a bare faced lie in the video, all an act. Have we come to the point now where manufacturers have to lie to us to sell us a camera? The line between PR and editorial and advert has not just been blurred, they have brought the suspension of disbelief from the advertising world into some kind of 'reality' piece - which attempts to fool us even more. All this is severely backfiring on Canon, to the point where I may even consider selling my 1D X Mark II. I don't want to deal with unethical companies and it isn't the first time Canon has lied either. They did so to me via an official manager, when the 5D Mark III was originally released it only shot 720p via HDMI... they said the hardware wasn't capable of 1080p then 2 years later updated the firmware to enable it. Honesty is important.

Added it to the compatibility list. It should have been there in the first place but I forgot to add it. I went out and bought an LX100 again the other day as I am liking the results so much with the G85. LX100 is a little gem of a camera.
