Ren Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Hey folks. I'm new here, I've been a troll before but never posted. Basically I've been scouring the internet for answers to this simple question. The S5 is relatively new so there's not a lot more than "reviews". So I'm shooting a short at home and shooting some very close up details and such, sometimes with the camera almost tilted facing downward (at a flat surface) at odd angles. I import footage to edit and I see that the camera has used probably whatever fancy leveler to see that it was held as "portrait" so it makes my actual clips into 2160x3840 rather than the other way. Even in Premiere those clips are then completely vertical resolution and it's a pita to flip them back, etc (proxies won't render right, etc.) Does anyone have any idea how and if I can turn this off or what that might be called? I do a fair amount of strange inserts and even stop motion with dragonframe using this and I had no idea there was a ridiculous "youtube vlogger" mode that I can't turn off if it senses that it's more vertical than horizontal. It's not a huge deal but it can be very annoying when you don't intend that. There's no screen indicator that warns this or anything, it's very frustrating.

Joel Is Great Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Hello, Panasonic have since released a Firmware Update to the S5 that adds a menu option to change the Vertical Video setting. It took me a while to figure out! You can download the latest Firmware here - https://av.jpn.support.panasonic.com/support/global/cs/dsc/download/index4.html Hope this helps.

spazzoid23 Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 I wanted to chime in, I had this same issue with 422 10bit mov files on S5II only importing into premiere pro cc 2018 as audio files, no video. I did a bunch of tests and figured out it could import video files with audio when filming horizontal, but when I would film vertically it would only import the audio file. The fix: Gear icon in menu > lens / others > go to bottom "Vertical Position Info (Video) and set it to "OFF" and it actually fixed the issue.
