It's not as good as others, but it's a huge leap forward for Olympus, even from their already greatly improved video on the EM5 Mark II. In two models they've more or less caught up to others with comparable specs and for me, the pictures look better, until you go to 10 bit codecs. JB Hi JB, just wondering what series you're working on at the moment ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Stanley, I'm doing an ABC ( Aussie version of the BBC ) drama series called The Warriors right now in Melbourne and about to head back to the US to do another series over there.

Stanley Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I live in Melbourne so I'll apologise for the weather...thought you might be shooting The Warriors, I'm looking forward to watching it. John Howard must be laughing to himself having been a young recruited player in The Club, to a team official in The Warriors. Hope it's all coming together.

That's how John came to be cast ;-) I grew up in Melbourne but this has been the worst Spring ever. Warriors is all Ursa Mini 4.6K by the way, first time I've done that. jb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanley Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I won't derail this thread anymore but how are the Ursa Minis performing, and secondly does Lisa McCune still pin her ears back with double sided tape ? Worked with her for a long time on Blue Heelers and she copped a lot of stirring over it. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been impressed how much of a leap this camera is. JB I am impressed with how little rolling shutter it seems to have in 4K. A much better option than a Sony A6500 for handheld shooting, I think.

The noise seems to be much better than on the GH4, so that is a plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted December 3, 2016 Author Administrators Share Posted December 3, 2016 I tested at ISO 6400 and the noise was indeed better than the GH4, of finer grain and less of it. Emanuel and kidzrevil 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBounce Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 It does seem to crush the blacks. At least the footage I've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though, not comparable as far as rolling shutter and IBIS concern for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidzrevil Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I do most if not all of my shooting handheld. If this camera can truly produce good 3200 video at 4k with the ability to disable in camera noise reduction then this is a beast of a camera. I don't need 10bit especially when shooting r709 and 420 color sampling isn't a problem when you can downres to faux 10bit 4444 1080. The olympus sounds like a dream camera when paired with something like a voigtlander 17.5mm f0.95 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesku Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 No one has yet answered my question "does this camera show automatic exposure values during video?" Does someone has this camera? Is it difficult to test? Can someone just test without a lecture of right ways to shoot video? I cant understand why it is so illegal to use automatic exposure aids in video even with own risk of getting sharp motion or dangerous altering brightness during a clip. Does anyone ever has took a photo with auto exposure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liork Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Yes, we use sometimes auto exposure in stills, so what? It is not relevant to video, your last sentence just show that you need to learn the basics of video shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought exposure values are the basics of photographing and shooting video regardless how we use those values. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff CB Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 If Vesku uses Auto ISO for video work it's a valid question. I use it in documentary work as well, and it would be useful to know if this camera has it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be very difficult to take photos with A or with auto iso if the camera is not showing all the exposure numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've pushed 4K video on my GX85 to the limit by shooting 24fps, 25 shutter, f.08, and 6400iso. That's the realm of useable exposure with a single candle type of stuff. The glow from a drag off a cigarette can illuminate a face. 6400 is a little noisy, but when you downconvert to 1080 and clean it up with some post processing, it holds together quite well. Not ideal video, but when you're shooting doc stuff a nighttime, it's helpful to know you can push things that far. Honestly, the aberration from the lens wide open looks worse than the grain of 6400. But, yes, a set of voigtlander lenses for doc work would be pretty great. kidzrevil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
