@Andrew Reid What type of SD card were you using for the tests? Did you have any problems w/ dropped frames or stopped recording?

 

*sorry if this was mentioned earlier, I haven't been keeping up.

If am not mistaken it was Belkin v90 cards of amazon

I paid $1,850 USD + free V-Log Lite and one extra battery, so that comes close to around $1,700 for the body only.

just wondering: I noticed you said that 95 MB/s cards aren't quite good enough, and we should invest in 300MB/s cards... I've seen some lexar 150MB/s cards, has anyone tested those? Is the 300MB/s an absolute necessity to get everything working right?

Just for the heck of it I tried recording of 4K ALL-I 400MBps 25p on this (128 GB card), and it seems to be working. 

I recorded 4+ minutes, and stopped as it seemed to work, and again a couple of minutes just to be sure I didn't make a mistake.

I don't at this moment have time to check how long it works..

Interesting as that is the slowest uhs-ii card at clearing the GH5 buffer at only 35MB/s and failed on the chftsho attempt (although heaven knows what they did to achieve that). However not surprising as buffer empty test is using multiple files which is generally slower than a single large file. I think most UHS-II cards should work though. If wanting the very best for reliability then the Panasonic cards SDZA using pSLC memory are the obvious choice.

So, how does the HDR profile actually work? 

Are you asking about hybrid log gamma?

if so its really just a different color space, namely rec2020 instead of rec709.

Driftwood did a video about it, and i concur it's a pain in the but to try and grade on a standard definition monitor.

 

here is the info from ffprobe.
