@TITAOSTEIN Жыл бұрын

Excellent tutorial! Thanks. I work daily with the GH4 since 2014 and with the GH5 since 2017. Yesterday I bought the GH6 taking advantage of a great deal at a nearby electronics store and the Panasonic Cashback. I will probably sell the dear GH4 and GH5 and buy the GH5ii to use as a second camera, alongside the GH6. I've been working as a professional photographer and videographer since 1996 and I really can't understand the countless Reviews criticizing the MFT system. Having worked with practically every possible format, I really consider MFT to be my favorite format. I work in MF, old school, and mostly use Voigtlander Nokton lenses, which allow me to control focus and aperture easily. However, testing the AF system, and now with the added area limiter for AF, it sounded pretty good! I'm still learning some new features from the GH6. As negative points, the GH6 short battery life draws attention and the DR Boost only starts at ISO 800 (forcing the use of ND filters also when not disseres) and limits the use of other Frame Rates for slow motion.

Hello Geeky, thank you for sharing your very interesting video. Unfortunately my english is not good and I'd like to ask 2 questions please: 1) I have the GH6. I make 4K videos with V-Log. My lens is Leica 12-60mm. I sometimes need to use AF all the time and I don't have the time to enter the Menu and choose the right icon in the AF Mode panel every time. I shoot everything but especially the people who are working in front of me. What do you think is the icon with which I can do everything in AF? 2) How can I configure the Speed and Sensitivity? I thought Speed +3 and Sensitivity -3. THANK YOU.

Truly a monster camera for natural history video shooting...you'd need to go $4000+ for better. Slow motion and built-in telextender modes are great. I never need AF in video (my main need) and it does more than good enough for my photo work. Been a GH shooter since GH2. I've used Sony recent cams and they are great, too.

One of the very best camera tutorials on KZfaq. Re: GH6, I wish the battery life was not so lacking. I cannot get through even to intermission filming a concert, and if there is no intermission, it is really a problem. I have bought 2 external batteries and dummy battery, and have yet to fin the right combo for the GH6 to work properly. Anyway, your are a superb communicator.

@GeekyNerdyTechy Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the kind words. You can USB-C power this camera if that helps when out in the field. I found the recording time is decent at 4k 25p but probably not quite as good as the GH5II.

Great video. Really easy and enjoyable. Thanks so much. I recently got this camera and this video is helpful and really nice to watch. When shooting in FLAT how much would you just the levels afterwards. Sorry if this is a silly question. This is my first deviation from a more auto setting on previous Panasonic.

@GeekyNerdyTechy Жыл бұрын

The good thing about using Flat is you can adjust it however you like. If you want to let the camera get you a great result without a lot of work, Natural is also great. Flat allow you to adjust the shadows, highlights, contrast, and saturation a lot more. I am going to do a video about how I grade footage, it'll be a lot easier to explain than on a reply :)

The ZVE10 is a good little camrea but it's handicaped in so many ways compared with the GH5M2 or GH6. That said, it comes down to the best lens you can afford for any system to make the most out of it. The user-experience with Panasonic is the best and I own some high end Sony cameras as well.

@GeekyNerdyTechy 2 жыл бұрын

The GH6 has a really great look to it but the S5 image quality is premium as well. The biggest difference will between the lenses you shoot with. F1.8 on the S5 will look amazing compared with F1.7 on MFT but the GH6 has the best out of camera look I've seen from MFT. It is an upgrade over the GH5, and GH5II.

Thanks first of all for sharing your insights. I must say however that without constantly pausing the video it's nearly impossible to follow. Your delivery parallels the style of Gerald Undone. Neither one of you gives your viewers any chance at all to comprehend what it is you have said before you move on. The best way to follow both of you is to fully understand what it is you are saying before you say it which obliterates the need to watch except for a quick review. Please consider turning off rapid fire. In the meantime I recommend watching your presentations at 75% of normal speed, although what is really needed is a presentation tailored for viewer comprehension. Rapid fire notwithstanding, please accept my sincere thanks for your effort to inform.
