Inazuma Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I can't say for sure but I do think the noise you are experiencing in those indoor shots is mainly because the image is underexposed and partly because you've lifted shadows too much. Essentially you are trying to lift detail out of areas where there is just not enough exposure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping moving the highlights back to standard would help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to use a 180 degree shutter rc2727 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rc2727 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Which problem? You mean the banding lights? You need to use a 180 degree shutter Yes the banding lights. I'm guessing here, but does that mean it's due to me not having the shutter speed double the FPS? Thank you for your quick response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inazuma Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Yes the banding lights. I'm guessing here, but does that mean it's due to me not having the shutter speed double the FPS? Thank you for your quick response. That's partially correct. But its more to do with the electrical current in the area. PAL territories run at 50hz while NTSC runs at 60hz. Your shutter speed should be a multiple of these numbers and your fps should be a half of that. Eg if you're in Europe, shoot at 1/50th shutter and 25fps. Or 1/100th shutter and 50fps.

Is there a why to limit the shutter speed so it won't go below a certain range etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inazuma Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I think the gh4 has a function to get it to always shoot at 180 degrees (ie. Shutter speed double your frame rate). You could probably Google where to find it as I don't have a gh4 myself :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could probably Google where to find it as I don't have a gh4 myself :D You can also use synchro scan to dial in the exact shutter speed so that the lights stop flickering. I use it a lot and it works quite well. You can see the effect in real-time in the viewfinder or LCD monitor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wynand Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I want to use my GH4 on a 3 axis gimbal for shooting video and I'm awaiting the gimbal to arrive. There will be much moving scenes. What will be the best settings to use? Do I go auto focus or manual? Do I switch off image stabilization? How well will the chip handle this "movement" as well as panning? I have used the GH4 on a tripod and did some slow to moderate pans and the image was not that great while panning.... Regards Wynand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wynand Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Shot this with the 12-35mm 2.8 at a local wax museum. http://youtu.be/OXpf39knldM Very nice! I seems as if the video is jumping (not smooth) - especially the panning parts? Could this be Youtube? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inazuma Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 This guy is doing the best work I've seen with the GH4 so far. And he's only using the 12-35mm f2.8 lens! nahua 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rndmtsk Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 That never bowing down video looks great. Personally, I'm in love with the colors that Emilio Gil is getting here: nahua 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j.f.r. Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 The problem and I mean real Problem too me is you need to add Luts , Film Plugins and all kind of stuff to make Panasonic GH4 footage look good. Compared to something like Blackmagic where really right out of the box the footage looks very nice, the increased dynamic range is insane. I owned and operated a GH3 for a long time, then a GH4. Then I have been using Blackmagic cameras, I just spent the whole weekend shooting on a GH4 with Voigtlander Lenses and I must say I am really not impressed at all. Now I need to add all kind of software plugins to make the footage look less like video. GH4 image is too sharp and thin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inazuma Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Isn't the whole argument against Blackmagic that it takes a good colourist to make the footage look good? I think it's horses for courses really. Blackmagic cameras aren't really suited for run and gun whereas the Panasonic are. They may not have as much dr as the Blackmagics but I've found they have enough to create really nice footage in most conditions. And in the end I think that content matters most, and so usability is key to me. nahua, rndmtsk and estarkey7 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may not have as much dr as the Blackmagics but I've found they have enough to create really nice footage in most conditions. And in the end I think that content matters most, and so usability is key to me. I used Blackmagic camera (Pocket) for a run and gun video I shot, everything worked perfect. I had it n a shoulder rig with battery adapter and shot all day only having to change the sony battery (used to power camera) once. Dslr/Hybrid cameras will always exist for the time-lapse and photo capabilities, but DSLR footage looks really thin now after shooting for the past couple of weeks on a Balckmagic. I also edit Red footage so it just seems a little weird too me. Panasonic GH4 footage is beyond sharp, yellow skin tones and video look really drive me away. I've seen nice footage like you said due to "content" but then you have to add puts, film grain and all kind of things. Blackmagic footage does not require a colorist, simple curve adjustments in your NLE or Resolve and you're good to go. On the flip side I've seen some RAW 5D Mark iii footage that looks great, but I know the workflow is another case........ As someone who worked/owned A GH1,GH2,GH3 and GH4 I can say I do not like the direction Panasonic has gone with the image. Less sharp, more dynamic range and focus on colors to help us out. On people the image just doesn't really look that good. I spent all day yesterday recording video and shooting photos and the footage I'm just not happy with. I've seen great footage, but you must massage to death in Post, I'm looking for something great out of the camera. Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nahua Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I just shot this footage this weekend. I only added a little saturation in post. Granted it takes awhile to find the right picture profile, but isn't that true of any camera? Don't REDs and Alexas need a whole lot of post work to make them sing? I don't doubt that Blackmagic is good, I've seen a lot of nice work. GH4 is also capable too. But it's apples and oranges. Use what works for you. If you're not happy with the GH4, then the Blackmagic pocket is priced very well. Inazuma 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumby9 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 We put the GH4 through its paces last week with this 3 min. short about Boulder, Colorado. Check it out! Inazuma 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
