Advice on G6 settings.

[BenV]

Hi,

 

This is my 1st post, I have been reading this forum for the last 6 months or so.

I have owned a 2nd hand GH2 and found this site shortly after my purchase (I brought Andrew's GH2 shooters guide, very good!) but decided to upgrade manly because my GH2 is faulty and out of warranty. For the last few months I have been reading a deliberating on what camera to buy. I want to use it manly to make short films & shoot arty stuff but also like to use it as a camera. I have a 3 lenses: SLR Magic 12mm, Voigtlander Nokton 25mm & an old Olympus auto-s 50mm

After considering the G6 or GH3 I decided to go G6. With a lot of new tech emerging I think 2014 may produce some very interesting cameras, GH4 etc.. But need something to tided me over as my GH2 is playing up.

 

After playing around with my G6 for a few hours I thought I would see what fellow G6 users suggest as good settings? Mainly for 24p but 50p would also be useful i'm sure.

 

Sorry if this has been posted before, I did have a quick look.

I shoot on the 'natural' picture profile with contrast a-3 and saturation at -3

I use 24p and AVCHD

oh yeah forgot and 99% of the time at 1/50 sec shutter

all my lenses are fully manual - and use NDs outdoors too

g6 has alot more menu options not on the gh2 - so i turn off most of them so its all manual the camera does not do anything for me
