One of the reasons as well was an audio interface. Which is why they put out an XLR hotshoe unit along the GH5.
Yeah, would've thought the DC in and the TC input would make a new one very relevant for where they want to pitch the GH5s.
Maybe Top Gear didn't ask for it

Just thinking out loud, right? hehe
I might do a teaser pic of half of it peeping out of the darkness at an obscure angle.
Seems all the rage.

The YAGH Interface box gave SDI output, amongst other things, to the GH4.
Quite surprised they haven't produced an updated one for the GH5s at least (to further differentiate from the GH5).
Or maybe thats something they have up their sleeve.

Hypothetically speaking, would something that did the following be of any interest to Panasonic (both GH5 and non-GH5) owners ?
- 8 focus points (pulled from current lens position so can be either using touch AF or manual etc)
- 4 auto transition speeds between points
- Manual transition between points
- Manual focus adjustment
All driven from dedicated hardware switches.
And wirelessly.
From a handheld device.
Hypothetically speaking obviously......

Yup, the MFT mount was a *strength* of that camera, while its biggest negative was perhaps its name.
God no, it could have been called "The Donald Trump Fluffy Kitten And Puppy Decapitator" and the EVF would still have been its bigger negative by a country mile
It might as well be one of these.
Except it would have to be called a "What The Butler Didn't See" machine to comply with trading standards.

Great discussion going on about these images over at BMCUser
They're analysing them like its the Zapruder film !

Unfortunately (or not), it is not available on the app. I say 'or not' because I've found that my pictures are much sharper when shooting at wide apertures like I do when manually focusing, at least when you must use the camera's own LCD screen. The app can only be used for autofocus. BTW, almost all of the screen grabs I've posted until now have been with the tap to focus feature, which I don't think I'll ever be using again, now that I've seen how much sharper the images are when manually focusing using focus assist and peaking.
Oh well, was looking for a shortcut !
I have an implementation of it that can do it externally (for all Panasonic cameras not just GH5) but it needs some re-thinking to make it smoother.
Cheers anyway

You couldn't do me a massive favour at some point could you @jonpais and fire up Panasonic's smartphone app and see if the function can be triggered from there could you?

Wow! That Focus OLED is sexy, but 350nits just isn't enough under the hot, almost permanent, Greek sun.
If that number was over, or close to 500, then I would have serious buyers remorse for my Focus!
5.5" is the absolute best for small minotors though.
@BTM_Pix I seriously believe this is your panel!
I suspect it might be a bit more than £78 though !

All done.
Here is the link to the post with the standalone version

OK, another day, another app
As I originally mentioned, the Bracket part of my test app was a bit flaky but as another forum member wanted just the bracket part, I've made a dedicated one.
Usual story, activate the Wifi on your Panasonic camera and select Connect.
Choose the base shutter speed with the Shutter button.
The choose the number of plus and minus steps that you want with the sliders.
These are 1/3rd steps so its 6 stops in either direction.
Depending on your particular Panasonic camera, you may have to activate electronic shutter to get the upper values if you've got a high base speed and have a number of + steps.
If you don't activate electronic shutter then it will just go as high as it can with the mechanical shutter and then repeat the same frames after that.
When you are all set up, press the Bracket button and it will begin executing the commands, beginning with your base frame and then doing the over and unders that you have set.
To prevent overloading the Wifi and to take into account slower FPS cameras there is a delay built in between frames.

Potencially it can be as flexible because of the flange focal distance of the Kinemount, but you either need Kinefinity or 3rd parties to build adapters.
Agreed.
And if it gains traction - which I hope it does because I like it - then we'll hopefully see that happen over time.

False.
I don't agree.
Can only think of the E mount adapter where the Terra wins?
I'm not sure thats a bigger win than having the MFT mount on the GH5s?
Kinefinity's boosted EF mount is only 0.72 reduction whereas you can go deeper than that with a Metabones EF to MFT.

I do sort of feel like the GH5S is a bit like the more trusted version of the Terra 4K. Same sensor, but with better warranty and service. Also weather sealed and in a smaller package.
And with a more flexible lens mount.
And less expensive.
But minus the RAW.
Its tricky.
You might be surprised how dinky the Terra 4K actually is when you actually have one in your hand though.

Well studio sound or post production is quite different to production sound recording.
But still yeah, BMD has a few strands there they could pull together into a sound recorder. They're closer to it than when they pulled a camera out of the hat! That was a surprise.The particular personnel I'm in mind of have a background with both (we were former colleagues in another lifetime!) so maybe they might yet do it.

Or a complete odd ball surprise such as Atomos/AJA/Blackmagic giving it a go at making an audio recorder and leveraging their years of knowledge in making recorders already (but totally different kinds of recorders).
BMD bought some very relevant knowhow when they acquired Fairlight (there is a lineage from key members of their R&D team that leads back to analogue consoles) so they could definitely do it.
Speaking of Australian companies acquiring technology, what news of Rode's progress with an affordable Soundfield ?
Might we see that launched at NAB perhaps?

Its integrated into one of my test apps in another thread.
But give me an hour or so as I want to write a standalone version.
I'll update here when its done.

No problem.
Hope it works and doesn't break your phones.
Or your cameras.

OK, as requested by @Grimor I've just written an additional app for live tweaking of the parameters.
Usual instructions, so put your Panasonic camera into wifi mode and attach your phone/tablet then press the Connect button in the app.
Select a base profile with the Profile button and then tweak away on the sliders.
Press the STILL button to, erm, take a still and the REC button will start a video recording.
While the video is recording, your tweaks are still live to the camera and will be recorded.

Would you be interested in a interface for the GH5 that gave you XLR inputs, SDI outputs and a DC input with D-Tap output?
Hypothetically speaking of course ....
