Popular Post 64mulford Posted March 27, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2017 Sorry for starting up another GH5 thread but figured this could focus on test footage/your first go with the camera. Here's mine - got it today, had 10mins of light left after work so took the kids to the park. A mix of 4K 50p and 180fps VFR, daylight WB, iso 200, Sigma 50mm on Speedbooster XL, Natural profile. Shot mainly wide open. No ND filter so controlled exposure with high shutter speed. PRO's so far: Options galore, amazing build, EVF/LCD= amazing. Picture looks GOOD! IBIS = incredible! CON's so far: Annoying sensor that flicks from EVF to LCD (can this be turned off?). Biggest con for me is not being able to flick to 180fps quickly. Had to dig into the menu every time. Really hope this can be assigned to a Function button but doesn't look like it so far. Grrr. I'm a GH4 and A7Sii user so looking forward to comparing. Be hard to beat a7sii but this beast might just do it! a_reynolds, dbp, Thpriest and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanriverprod Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Nice shots. But the picture flickers back and forth from the evf and lcd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64mulford Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 2017 Yea that annoying auto detect thing. If you brush your finger past the EVF or hold to close to your chest it'll shot off EVF and go to LCD. Haven't found how to shut it off yet!

lmackreath Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 There is a menu option to set how sensitive the eye sensor as I found the same issue, you can set it to low so it is not that sensitve or you can stop it auto changing altogether, and you can press the LVF button to switch between the two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you not make a profile with those settings and assign it to one of the C positions on the top plate? I use that on other Panasonics to quickly change between 4K24p with 1/50, 1080p50 with 1/100 and a generic photography profile. Lovely stuff of your kids by the way.

Yes, you can do that BUT I find that way cumbersome. Using the C dials saves all of the settings as they are, so F stop, shutter, ISO and white balance which is a pain as I might be shooting with settings completely different to that and I'll have to spend time changing them to match. Assigning to a function button like I did on the GH4 meant I had to press one button and my current shutter, ISO, WB etc didn't change - much better and efficient. Hopefully they fix this! jonpais 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have mine set at a nominal ISO with 180deg shutter angles for the different frame rates and auto WB so its an advantage to me as it means I never have to remember to change to the correct shutter speed when switching between modes, which I was always forgetting to do! But I can see your point why it doesn't work for you. The manual seems to say you can map the VFR to a Fn button and it will bring the menu up when pressed but thats not letting you set it directly to the FPS you want at a single stroke is it. It will save you a menu press, a scroll to the video settings and a scroll to the VFR function so thats something I guess. jonpais 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hyalinejim Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Nice work on the colours. Filmconvert? I've read, and seen from samples, that Arri luts play nicely with GH5 VLog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
