JamesAllenVisual Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 First weekend out with my GH5 a month ago, I meant to test most of the features while shooting some Parkour / Freerunning. First feature I tried was 180fps slowmo and I got totally obsessed. Amazing feature. Here's a video of the test footage I shot with a talking intro and then some discussion of my experiences with it after. First real video I've produced on the GH5 and am loving every second of i!! Shame about the awful 1080 YouTube compression but hopefully shows off the 180 awesome well enough. mercer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronChicago Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Has anyone had their GH5 shut off 30 min into recording? I was recording HD on a Sandisk Extreme 95 so I'm sure it wasn't a card error. I had it set up to record some BTS and when I checked on it 45 min later it has powered down. I turned it back on and the battery was still 3/4 full. I checked the file and it had recorded 31 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was more like it went into sleep mode while recording. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Members BTM_Pix Posted May 29, 2017 Super Members Share Posted May 29, 2017 Just a heads up about the error logs from the other thread. Manual its from is GX7 but they are all common so should work with your GH5 and might give you some insight into where the error was.

tihon84 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 I think that Panasonic can give us a 2.5k 8 bit 90 fps. Extra resolution can be really useful to achieve nice and detailed FHD. I don`t know any DSLR with this feature JamesAllenVisual 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good, I don't understand why Lexar cards, and Belkin V90 cards don't work in the GH5. I can't afford to be the guinea pig tester. Shrug, guess you can always return them? BTW, my Lexar card is a 1000x 128GB, works great in the GH4. Hopefully soon, I will test it in my new GH5... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, I mean the cages. I don't think anyone suggested the lexar cards didn't work. Just that they are not as fast as others. If it works at 200 Mbps on the GH4 then that's great.

I'm using Lexar 2000x cards right now on the GH5 and they work great. I have a few of them including the 128GB and the 32GB ones. They all work great on the GH5. My tests say that when they are freshly formatted, the GH5 writes 100Mbytes/sec (about 800Mbits/sec). And a fragmented nearly full card will still not dip below 70MBytes/sec (560Mbits/sec). They do read/write much faster on a computer, but those are the speeds on my GH5. I read the page where a guy tested a plethora of SD cards including the Lexar 2000x cards and reported that he got 35MB/sec. Definitely no problems like that on my side. As a matter of fact, my 2000x Lexar's seems to outperform every card he tested according to his results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoScoops Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Anyone have some example stills taken with it yet? The initial batch on flickr looks awful, as it typically does for most cameras, but I'm willing to bet it can produce some nice stills, esp paired with a Voigtlander.

Phil A Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Wow, GH5 so bad. You can see the auto focus pumping all the time in the video of the moon. Are they using face detection? Just kidding Fritz Pierre, Orangenz and funkyou86 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
