Gotta love the three exclamation points for emphasis. I'm not seeing anything here showing the greater dynamic range possible with Cinelike D. It could just as well have been shot with Standard. Haha, Jon... seriously I didn't read your comment before I commented. It may not be CineLikeD. It could definitely be standard. I have always been a fan of the way Marty colors his videos. He gets some deep shades. Honestly I am sorry I even brought up CineLikeD settings and exposure. I prefer to underexpose by a 1/3 a stop. Your stuff looks good ETTRd so in the end it doesn't matter. I don't even own a Panasonic camera anymore... so who cares what I think. PannySVHS and kidzrevil 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do care what you think, I like the colors as well, the skin tones look great (but like I said, I'm viewing it on my iPhone), but I'm wondering whether this is SOOC or graded.

Thanks in advance. I'm not sure why you believe underexposing by 1/2 stop is desirable, but here's what you asked for anyway - two different shots, one with the histogram bunched up to the left, the other exposed slightly to the right. Because of the strange way this website handles uploaded media, the images may appear darker than the originals and the colors will probably have changed as well. Before anyone says they prefer the warmer color of the first screen grab, be aware that I white balanced the two shots differently. Edit: I read your comment again and realized that's not what you requested. But I'm not sure why anyone would prefer underexposed shots to correctly exposed ones, so it's kind of baffling to me. If you shoot video, you know that it's always best to start with as much information as possible, then to pull midtones and shadows down in post. If the blown out buildings in the background of the second shot are distracting, the solution is to change the vantage point or shoot at a different time of day, not to give less exposure. Lifting shadows in post only leads to noise and possibly banding. But you already knew that I presume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgios Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 i assume that 1st one you refer is the underexposed and 2nd is the overexposed one...but face in 1st one is overexposed compared to face in 2nd.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this the App end? Have there been any firmware updates to the GH4 firmware after that glitch (with the App turning on the VLog shooting? ). 1 hour ago, jonpais said: I'm not sure why you believe underexposing by 1/2 stop is desirable, but here's what you asked for anyway - two different shots, one with the histogram bunched up to the left, the other exposed slightly to the right.

I will upload some shots from yesterday that I took (I am not sure about the exposure being under or over). I used the Tiffin Ultra Contrast 3 Filter, and the image almost looks like VLog. Though I am guessing it won't be easy to get the colours perfectly right, after this. jonpais 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Members BTM_Pix Posted June 2, 2017 Author Super Members Share Posted June 2, 2017 Its about having both ends of the conversation. Posing as the camera with the App that had the flaw in it should theoretically populate the menus in the App and from there we can capture the exact command sent back to the GH4 when changing to Vlog from Vivid for example. There is a bit more to it in terms of convincing the App its talking to a camera though as there is a heartbeat sent every second to the camera that the camera returns an OK to to let the App know its still connected. That means that will most likely have to be replicated programmatically rather than just being put in an html page. Although depending on how long the App can allow for the return to the heartbeat before terminating I don't know. It might be long enough to enable it to just be a simple manual button on an html page. I'm just waiting on a GH4 session output file to be sent to me before I can look at it but I can do the camera simulator based on a G7 to experiment in the meantime but I can't look at it until next week. Even if I get this simulator going though, please don't build your hopes up over getting vlog on the GX85 or the other cameras. As is already evident from the file format changes etc, its one thing getting the correct command to the camera but quite another for it to do anything with it.

It needs to be on a camera, if you've still got a GH4? If you can get it on to a camera then if you then connect to it with the cinelike D html file and send it the commands as per my posts further up to get what it sends back that would be a big benefit. sanveer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you can see from the meter, they are both well exposed for the main subject (the face). Really nice example of how to run it with the different backgrounds. @BTM_Pix do you have feedback for the GX85? jonpais 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you need two custom settings to switch or just the one. Yeah, it works exactly the same and same file for both. EDIT - Sorry, I meant the same html file for both to implement it. It needs two Custom settings on the camera available if you want to switch in camera between Cinelike D and the other profiles. GX80/85 have three available so still one spare for a more photography based or black and white configuration or whatever.
