The best 5min instructional footage - only "to the point" tips without boring and unnecessary "talking heads", Great job Sir!

Your channel is underrated

Brilliant! I'm glad the GX85 is still getting the love it deserves, it's probably the most underrated camera ever.

I’m selling all my gear (6 cameras) only keeping the gx85 with the Leica 15mm 1.7, I was so overwhelmed! Time to become a minimalist.

I’ve been going back and forth watching this video for more than a dozen times. Thank you so much!

This vid is art in and of itself while giving you all the relevant information. Well done.

It is impossible to agree more with you. 100% correct. My camera. A piece of art.

This is gold! tnx for taking the time to share this with us! I Love this camera so much.

Man, I just keep coming back to these videos. Obviously, the gx85 is a great camera but after watching tons of other videos on it, it's clear that this footage looks so good because of who is behind the camera.

Beautiful pictures, great tips and comments, love the music and love my new GX80. Cheers Spencer.

decided to make 2021 my year and try vlogging, purchased the G85 and wow are these settings perfect! This channel is so helpful!!!

Although it's been discontinued for years, I just got my hands on this recently - after watching many vids on youtube. Excited to explore and really get the best out of it. Thank you for this video, so helpful and inspiring.

Thanks for the tutorial video. I havent bought the GX85 yet, but I will. This will help me in advance and for the time being I will practice a bit on the GX1. Cheers.

Thank you for these very valuable tips!

What a beautifully shot video. Thank you.

Nice work and useful advice. Again, I appreciate your taking the time to share your info. Best wishes.

And it is the first camera I have bought myself! Stoked to shoot something while at film school.

Very informative video.. My GX85 is coming today and cant wait to start... Thank you

My teacher at film school actually told me he liked my camera! And he’s a huge camera nerd for all kinds of bigger, exponentially more expensive cameras! That gave me so much confidence and motivation to appreciate this dope little camera.

Wow, that was awesome. What a high quality and helpful tips! Thank you!

Amazing content! It’s nice to see that there’s someone out there dishing out videos about the GX85. I can’t wait to see this channel blow up. Subscribed!

Amazing video, amazing camera, amazing person, What a perfect combination. just started saving money to buy this camera, then see this video tell about what's this camera capable. It makes me so excited!

Thanks for the vid man. Was wondering how powerful my camera was, I’m happy I decided on this powerful little thing. Looking forward to adapting some new lenses in the future and shooting more with this camera.

Better than a lot of fancy 10bit or RAW footage. Nice shots, colours.. everything! I like it!

Fantastic footage and instructions!!

Awesome video!! Helpful tips and beyond amazing b-roll! Started a business and am looking to vertically integrate marketing & promotion myself. Looking for a camera to pair with my Crane 2. Your videos single handly convinced me to purchase! Great price for what it offers! Keep up the good work & the GX85 content!

Absolutely the best video about video shooting for the GX80-85. Thanks a lot, brilliant job! Now I'm sure buying this camera would be a good choice!

So happy right now. I watched lots of videos on how to focus correctly with this camera and litterally none went over the MF Assist Display option. I was so confused when nothing happened using the second wheel on my lens. I thought it has to be there for a reason. Now you finally shown me what it is there for and I couldn't be happer that I figured out how to focus properly not only in video but in my photography aswell. Stumbling across your videos like a year ago is the reason I got this camera in the first place. So thank you twice 💙.

Your work is amazing. I love the GX85

I've got the Gx9 and this is a big help. Good to see these type of videos for older cameras that still hold up to the newer ones. Thanks mate

Gorgeous pictures! I might have to go shopping soon.

I finally got it, Thanks once again for suggesting this wonderful camera 📷, I love it!!!!♥️

Thank you! I will try these with my Lumix GX800.

bro this not even my lane with videography but did your thing with this video as far as image quality & the overall end product! i’ve been shooting with the gx85 for a while & you just got me hip to some great new tips!! keep it up 🔥

Thanks for this video about this underrated camera ! Got a G9 but still using gx80 a lot !

Inspiring footage Sir.

Awesome vídeo! Great tips, i love my gx80 💪🏻

Gosh mate! What such beautiful images out there! Incredible how you managed to create such beautiful images out of a budget camera! As people say: It's not about the camera but the technique. Subbed!

Literally just ordered a GX85. Had the same T3i since 2011 and needed something 4k that I could run through my cam link as well. Super excited. Love your videos on the GX85

Thankyou spencer for this video! Especially de focussing tips helped a lot!

You convinced me to buy this camera and it just came in today, can’t wait to play around with it and try out your tips!

I picked up this camera couple months back and I’m in love with it! Made my first “cinematic” b-roll video with it and I’m very happy with the results!

Beautiful visuals! Thank you, you helped me out a lot!

This was so helpful! Thank you.

Buffalo Trace is delicious. Super impressed with the quality youve squeezed out of this camera

We just bought the GX85 two lens kit that was recently on sale. We are starting over with our equipment choices, some years ago we had the GH4 and a good selection off pro lenses. We kept the lenses and sold the GH4, we also have the Nikkor lenses you have plus a few more. We film our studio shots with the GX85 and external audio and are really liking the compact set up. Thanks for the video, has been useful.

Your GX85 videos literally helped me pulled the trigger for this camera body. Right now I'm pairing it on a Viltrox NF-M43x Speedbooster with a Sigma 28mm f.28 Mini Wide II, Nikon 35mm f2.8 AI, Nikon 50mm f2.8 AI. And also using a Helios 44-2 without the speedbooster for a kinda zoom length. Followed your settings and tips for the setup. The footages I got with this camera are simply stunning. For a used camera at this price point, I am very much glad that I found your suggestion on KZfaq. Thanks for really helping me out with the videos you posted.

Great info and tips! Makes me want to dive into my GX85 even more now for film and manual focus

Beautiful video! Apart from the great tips, I just love the way the video looks, combined with the subtle background music, I think this video is a piece of art in itself. Keep making this type of content, it is very useful and a pleasure to watch!

Thank you for continuously making videos about the GX85. I learnt new things and understanding my camera even more watching your videos. I considered a few things selling it but now I am gonna hold on to it. Thank you!!

Thank you! Super helpful.

This was a really great video, thank you for posting!

Great video! Thank you so much

having previously owned an a6300, i have to say that i am impressed by the power of this gx85. i'm using it now and i find it quite suitable. gx85 plus the 25mm 1.7 lumix lens (i bought them mainly after seeing a video of them together on this channel) was about half the price of what i paid for my previous a6300 + sony 35mm f1.8 oss. there are aspects i like about the gx85, of which i will mention three pleasant ones: 1) autofocus, even if it kinda sucks by itself, i found that if i use the manual focus, by using the touchscreen or back-button-focus, it is very satisfactory for my needs and i did not expect to be so ok with it - so, guys, touch focus still can be used in manual focus mode, and is very very usable; 2) having a touch screen is quite a thing; 3) shooting indoors with it is not that bad. i've had the combo for a few days and i recommend it to those who have an a6300 and want to have something rather comparable and at only about half the price. p.s.: natural profile is very gradable in video (with the settings recommended in this channel).

Thank you for this awesome video! ❤️

I just bought a brand new GX85 (body only) on eBay for $320! I also bought the Leica DG Summilux 15mm lens. This is gonna be my first digital camera ever. So excited!

Beautiful cinematography as always, tips and the score (chefs kiss) lol! Thanks Spencer! Subbed!

Very informative, thanks

Really great video clips and informative video. Thank you

Great to see how you get the most from this humble Lumix, which can be applied to all the other Lumix cameras too. The quality of your work also, for me, reinforces that it's not all specs and overheating issues that make good footage, but foremost, the photographer...

dude! great shots! thanks for the tips

Amazing tips and insights, brother; deeply appreciate you! 👍

great video, thanks a lot!

Stunning images. Purchase order - G7, then GH5, last but not least open box deal on GX85 with Kit lens $200. Your images inspire! Bravo

So informative. Thank you for sharing

Very nice video! Thank you :)

I bought a new old stock GX-85 last year to get a more pocketable camera to combine with my 14mm and 20 mm pancake primes for stills. Your video opens up an entirely different potentials of the GX-85 I had not dreamt were available. Even as a primarily stills photographer your use of the Zebras for more precise exposure control strikes me as a digital version of Ansel Adams' Zone System and your prescription for focusing settings likewise would seem to add greater precision just where I need it. I have tried but not used adapted glass much because my old eyes prior to cataract surgery were almost entirely dependent on autofocus, but this video opens up reconsideration of these possibilities - again both for stills and motion photography.

Man, you really maxed the hell out of this small camera.

I just picked up a two lens kit from B&H at $499 usd I had sold my GH4 a couple years ago and had been with Sony RX100 & RX10 but felt the GX85 offered a lot of portability and better photo quality. Thanks for the tips on video settings, we are using the RX100 for 4K video at the moment.

Great video. I still use the g85, but I wish I still had my gx85. Such a solid camera for the money.

Thank you for this wonderful tutorial. I just picked up a GX85 to use as a "webcam" for Twitch and FB gaming streaming BUT I also wanted the ability to have it as a B Cam for my KZfaq content and some Doc work I'd like to do, as well as a top down camera for reviews.

Love this! Would love more videos like this!

You are a Master. Simply Brilliant.

Great video! I use the GX80 a lot as well and thought I had the "best" settings figured out (made a video about it too). Your approach is completely different - but I like it. I think I will invest into a speed booster soon! :)

Besides being useful, your video looks and sounds absolutely gorgeous, well done! Recent GX85 owner here, mostly shooting family portraits including of our 4-month old, but very interested in learning to shoot (and edit) nice videos.

Great video Spencer! I have a G-85 that I’ve been using mostly for a couple years now but seeing your images and results after grading I am returning to my settings to set up a matching profile to yours and just see if I can’t just squeeze a little more out of it here. Liked and sub’d!

man thanks a lot for this amazing video

I found this video VERY HELPFUL

wondering if i can get the same AMAZING images you shoot with my G85... seriously, it's unbelievable ! Cheer from france !

great! thanks for that!

Really good edited video here ✔️

this is absolutely beautiful

Every cinematic gx85 video ive ever watched has looked awesome. It looks like a much more expensive camera.

This is a great helpful video, well done :)

Great vidoe man!

The first time I pressed the "record" button and then played it back, I couldn't believe how awesome the image stabilization was. I had never shot anything that looked like... a movie.

Thanks a lot Spencer for such a good guide! Love my gx85 with planar 50 1.4🤗Now you have a sub from Russia))

excellent presentation great job

proving you don't need an expensive camera to create great footage, good job!!

I have the GX8 but the information also applies to my camera. I only dont have the 5 axis IBIS

Best camera I've ever owned.

very useful Thank you!

Just found your videos and these inspired me to break out my gx85!! I forgot how much I loved this camera and am now considering some new lenses. Would love to see if you have any recommendations for a portable tripod for travel or what you would take with you in a gx85 travel kit. 🙏 will be doing a Southeast Asia trip and will be taking the gx85

Thanks for this video -- I will be referencing it when I'm out trying to dial in some good video with my G85. I did want to correct one thing. For focus peaking, "Low" basically represents "less precision" with the peaking color. "High" represents "higher precision" with the peaking color. IOW, if you really want to nail focus -- High is where you want to be, however, it may be quite a bit more difficult to see the peaking because it will only occur in a narrower focal range. The quickest and easiest focus option is on low, but the focus peaking color might not provide the optimal focus for the shot. Why doesn't the manual focus guide have a number associated with it? A number for a particular focus distance would make vlogging focus so easy!

Amazing imagen mates, you're a great filmmaker

Holy shit phenomenal work bro.

This is such a great video Spencer! I keep coming back to it now and then - almost just to enjoy that moody and cinematic feel you have created. I guess it partly comes down to your choice of music. Great! I have the GX80 myself and just got step-up rings enough so to put my 58 mm NiSi ND-filter on the 12-32 mm kit lens! What variable ND-filter are you using? I can´t pick up what brand name you are saying?

If you ever had the time to put an affiliate link for your lens/connections it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for providing much needed videos, i was looking everywhere for this help!

This is my main camera for my KZfaq channel. I use lens combo, 25mm f/1.7 & 14mm f/2.5 This is more than enough for me. Best regards from Indonesia
