nac Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Well i got the GH3 yesterday. I love it. :) BTW, In Australia the pricing of the G6 body is around $850, I picked up the GH3 from a local store with full warranty for $1200. It's not double.

ntblowz Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Yeah after using GH3 for a while I m warming up to it, especially with the Varavon Loupe for GH3, don't really care about focus peaking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaneMc Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 B&H Photo has the G6 listed without 24p in the specs. This is puzzling to me. I called to verify the recording specs and the rep told me that the camera DID NOT shoot 24p. Can anyone shed some light here? B&H link here Edit* Another rep said this is a typo on the website. Camera is NTSC/PAL switchable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

/p/ Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Will do galenb. Peaking is only available in light blue, didn't find a menu option to change the color. Seems to work fine, like any other camera with peaking. I still experience some hit and miss shots though when using it, but I think that is always the case with peaking. Anyway, I'll show! Also, I'm not sure if it's a world cam. I have a PAL cam with 1080p50,25,24, didn't find a menu option to switch to NTSC 60/30. I believe this is possible with the GH3 or am I mistaken? I don't care for 30 but 60 would be nice for slomo. I bought an NTSC GH3 to shoot a huge sporting and shot everything at 1080p60.. The footage looked great and the camera worked well. However I am in a country that uses PAL but at that time there was nothing that could do slow motion at 1080p60 except the GH3 (and a few Sony's which I am not to fond of) the PAL version wasn't yet available so I bit the bullet and bought it. It's not a global cam though so while it worked brilliantly for the outdoor event I don't have access to a 25p option. I can however shoot at 24p 1/50th and flicker is pretty much completely unnoticeable and non-existent but if you look closely it is present. I do plan on getting a BMPCC though (if it ever comes out..) which IS a global cam I hope that with a hack though the GH3 will also become a global cam. (Does anyone know if the GH2 NTSC cams got some PAL framerate options?) Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Andrew Reid Posted July 23, 2013 Administrators Share Posted July 23, 2013 Bought my G6 in the UK and it isn't PAL / NTSC switchable, but it does have 24p and 25p. You can't get 60p on it. 50p and 50i. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayD Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I posted this in another thread but for those of you concerned about the lack of live hdmi out while recording there seems to be another option via a cell phone, tablet or laptop utlizing the wifi remote function. The tablet etc acts as an additional monitor when using the remote application... jump to 07:17 of this video to see it in action .. sorry its in German..

mjfan Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 is there a lag or delay with the wifi function on the tablet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernesto Mantaras Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 is there a lag or delay with the wifi function on the tablet? As you can see in the video, yes. And although it's less than I expected, it makes it useless for using it as an onboard monitor alternative. Perhaps for remote control on live shows or using the G6 as a crash cam, or maybe for the director. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurth Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I think you're wrong Ernesto. I've watched dvd's with more out of sync than that ! My guess it's about 1/4 second delay...or even less....watching the wifi monitor and listening to the audio...and for focus pulling, I see this as having real possibilities , considering there's no live hdmi out .

ZEBRAWORKZ Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 does anyone know if the g6 can output live video over the analog video out? i don't want to buy the cable and then it isn't working. and i need it to work also when i hit the record button. thanks Marcus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Miesner Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Sorry. Know I am beating an old thread. But does anyone know the battery life on the G6 in video mode? Also I heard that it doesn't tell you the remaining battery time like the GH2? Is this true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
