Chris Sorry I didn't mean to say there is no other way. Its just that I don't find using the shutter dial very useful for video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Django Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 XH1 also features a new silent movie control mode: The Silent Video Operation function allows you to control settings such as aperture, shutter speed, ISO sensitivity and white balance with silent touch-panel operations on the rear monitor, preventing the camera from picking up operation noise from buttons and dials during video recording. I believe this mode also saves independent video settings from still settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inazuma Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Can someone explain to me what the movie mode on the dial is for? Because it doesn't appear to save settings independently from the other modes so I don't see the point of switching to it really. Also has anyone got any tips on what picture profile to use for what situations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have set up my camera with 'C1' as 'default 4k settings' and C2 as 'default HD 120' settings. I occasionally use S&Q for 'slo mo' or 'time-lapse'.

scotchtape Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Gh5 also has weirdness. If you switch between movie and M mode, you can record video in both, but in photo mode the video exposure is darker than when using movie mode or what is shown on the screen before hitting record. Also remember the infamous color shift on record from previous panny cameras... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inazuma Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Has anyone tried the remote app with this? Seems to be missing some very basic functionality like tap to focus and picture profile selection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish camera companies at least released a remote api functionality so other developers can do their magic. They would have nothing to loose right? That being said, I find the remote app to work great for basic monitoring. I can shoot with the camera and other people look at the image on a wirelessly connected tablet. One time I used it as a binocular replacement. Since the magnification in focus assist is really good now, I used the 12X magnification with the 55mm/f1.8 (FoV similar to a 650mm lens!) to display the actors up close on a tablet/phone so you can get a better view of their expressions. The result was really excellent. That brings me to the following question: Does anyone know if the live feed when in stills mode can be recorded through HDMI and what the resolution is?

I'm in the process of porting my Panasonic hardware controller to Sony so watch this space. Don Kotlos 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Members BTM_Pix Posted May 25, 2018 Super Members Share Posted May 25, 2018 A bit of a live update... A ride on the bullet train has given me an opportunity to move the port along and... It lives! More functionality to come obviously over the coming weeks but the foundation is there now.

Almost the same here, but I have a couple of issues with the c1 und c2 modes: 1. I can't register a custom wb while in c1/c2. Why?? 2. AutoISO: While in c2 with ISO set to auto I get a reading of the used ISO when half-pressing the shutter button before recording. With the same settings but in c1/movie mode the display always shows "AUTO ISO" even when half-pression the shutter. I don't need a continous display of the ISO value, but a staring value before you actually shot is very helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot 'set a custom WB' in movie mode (only in still modes). There is a fairly simple work around. Set your white balance to 'custom 1' in C1/C2. Move to any stills mode 'set the custom white balance' and register it to 'custom 1' (default.) I think it works this way because when it sets a custom white balance it takes a still photo. 2. Yes my A7 works the same way. Again, I dont think this is actually tied to C1/C2. I think it is the case that auto iso works this way when shooting 4k (and differently in HD.)

I tried that already but that doesn't work... It seems that the custom wb slots 1-3 are saved with c1/2. Try it yourself... 2. No, that's not the reason. Try that: setup your 4k settings in movie mode (dial). Half press shutter. No ISO reading. Save these settings to C1. Half press shutter, no ISO reading. Save exact same settings to C2, half press shutter, voila! ISO is displayed! Explanation? I have no idea.... While "issue" 2 is not a big deal, the missing custom WB in C1/2 is a major problem for me, any solution (expect manually setting it ) would be highly appreciated!
