    GH4 crash problem

    varicam replied to etidona's topic in Cameras

    The recommended cards are too expensive for cheapskates like me. :)

    Grading

    varicam replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras

    Looks filmic though I am not a fan of shooting the backs of people.

    Audio questions

    varicam replied to Inazuma's topic in Cameras

    In the hands of someone who doesn't know much about audio recording, a $10K mic can do more harm than a $50 mic because all the mistakes and flaws will become much more crystal clear! :)

    I have just got a Tiffen variable ND filter and it seems ok so far. Indispensable when shooting outdoors.

    From what I heard, it does have a 30min limit.

    Can't wait for the GH4 version. :)

    Ok. Here is my finding. Even with mic level -12dB, the GH4 mic preamp self-noise is still audible. So that's noise that must be removed in post. Since it's pretty much white noise, any decent noise removal tool should do be able to remove it. As for the buzz, the kind that people complained about, I couldn't replicate it.

    I did some rough recording with a Sony PCM-M10 line out into the mic in. Since the Sony outputs a line level signal, I had to turn the mic gain on the GH4 by -8dB. It seems like there is no buzz but the noise floor is higher than direct to recorder. I will try a few more settings and post a comparison.

    Let me check with my gear. I normally record audio externally so it doesn't bother me.

    Make absolutely certain that iDynamic is off. I have been able to shoot in a dark church without distracting noise. High contrast scenes are indeed quite difficult to deal with. But with enough fiddling, a nice image can be obtained. I don't like CineD. No matter what I do, it just looks weird.

    Wow. 1.6 million view. Now I do feel inspired! Thanks.

    Right. I checked my manual too.

    I couldn't get mine to 1/16000 either.

    Is this supposed to be a joke?

    Beautiful. It makes me want to get the iPhone 6 as a C-cam. :)

    A friend of mine said the EM1 is a very good stills camera. Its 5-axis IBIS is very good. Perfect for family events unless you want to become a serious videographer, in which case you might want something with more video options. The EM1 will also let you use lenses without stabilization which could be a plus.

    The trend is to make people look orange.http://theabyssgazes.blogspot.ca/2010/03/teal-and-orange-hollywood-please-stop.html

    Maybe VP9 will take off.
  21. varicam
    Not sure. But turn off iDynamic and see what happens.
  22. varicam
    What did you have for iDynamic and iResolution?
  23. varicam
    Thanks. But a solution that cost 2x more than my camera and lens doesn't look very justifiable at the moment. Is there a rumoured price for the Shogun?
  24. varicam
    So there is no 10-bit 4K external recording, right?

    I hope there is an update to the GH4 shooter's guide containing info on the various options of recording from HDMI. Right now I am reading bits and pieces and still feel confused as to what I can actually get from the HDMI out.
