Stanley Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Still curious to know what the quality of1080p ( recorded in 1080p mode) at 24 fps is like on the G85. (sorry to interupt the GX85 / GH4 discussions) Also wondering if anyone knows of an eyepiece that might adapt for it ? That's really important for me when I upgrade my GH2.

jonpais Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 And I'd like to know if anyone can tell me what battery life is for video on G85. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the same as GX80; without Stabilization is OK, but IBIS and WIFI conection kill battery badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonpais Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Can anyone tell me how many minutes of video you can shoot on one battery with the G85? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonpais Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Okay, never mind about the battery life. How about firmware update v1.1? I downloaded the zip file and extracted the bin and copied it onto my SD card, inserted it into my fully charged camera, turned the camera on and hit play and - nothing! it just says no pictures to play or something. What am I doing wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put it on an empty Sd Card formatted with the cam. Power on the camera and press review (play) Button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonpais Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I did that already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonpais Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Found the answer: the camera's already running firmware v1.1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruben Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Do you have any recommended profile settings for the G85, i just got your EOSHD Pro Color for Panasonic cameras Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedazin Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Just check the PDF which comes with the LUTs for EOSHD Pro Color. Settings that work best with the LUT are mentioned there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanley Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Some people on DP Review are reporting that the quality of1080p on the GX85 isn't the best, so I'm wondering if anyone has found this to be true, and is it the same with the G85?

Can't say for the G85, and I just got my GX85, but on a 4K camera I never shoot in 1080p unless I need slomo and in that case it's not a big deal if it's a little soft as the slo-mo I shoot (unless I'm renting a seriously capable rig) is going to be for dreamy stuff anyway. If you plan to work in 1080p, do yourself a huge favour, shoot in 4K and use something like EditReady to transcode to 1080p ProRes as part of your ingest step (possibly applying Andrew's excellent LUTs at the same time). You'll end up with roughly equivalent to 4:4:4 colour and the downsampling will increase sharpness and decrease noise by a lot. You get basically 4x oversampled 1080p (2x horizontal, 2x vertical) for your trouble, and not horribly greater file sizes.

Stanley Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Not having an up to date computer, or 4K screen, is really holding me back from 4K recording at the moment, and also learning Edit ready, New computer, New Camera, ProRes, etc, all at the samw time would probably do my head in. Anyway if I can be convinced that Panasonic 1080p has improved since the GH2, I'll get the G80 for IBIS and 4K for the future. Thanks.

jonpais Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 1. Edit ready is great software. It's free for clips up to 1 minute. A baby could learn how to use it in 10 sec. 2. Unless your computer is super old, you probably won't need a new one for editing on a 1080p timeline. 3. I spent all night looking for good sample 1080p clips from either the GX or G cameras. Couldn't find any. If I had a lens, I'd shoot some for you here and now. 4. Can't anyone here please just shoot something in 1080p and upload it? ?

Stanley Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Thanks for looking Jon, but yeah there's not much out there to look at, and some people are saying that 1080p on the new line of G/GX cameras isn't the best. When I used to patch my GH2, my 6 year old little old Lenovo G560 handled it just. So I might look into Edit ready. Cheers. , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are not using the 4k features for now I think you are wasting your money. Purchase a 4k camera when you actually want to record in 4k.

jonpais Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 I bought my GH4 3 years ago with the intention of shooting 4K and delivering in HD, and that's what I'd been doing up until just a couple months ago, when I miraculously discovered I could edit 4K in the timeline.

I believe Jase shoots his videos in 1080p... or at least his earlier GX80 stuff was. Stanley and jase 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
