From my understanding and use Panasonic contrast detection is great for photography not so great for video

Beautiful indeed.

She is indeed very beautiful, you must be very proud of her!

Yes she is.😍😍😛

Yes you can take some nice portraits with that lens. Shoot at 60mm with the aperture wide open. Your backgrounds won't be as soft as with the lens you saw in this video but you should still get some nice results.

Thank you, thank you, and thank you. Yes, I am aware there is an upgrade on the way but I have not looked at the details yet.

I was offered the Olympus second hand (but in almost-new condition) at a great price so I grabbed the opportunity while it was there. Since then I haven't needed any other lens for portraits so I haven't shopped around, and I really can't compare my lens to another one I have not owned or used.

It doesn't matter how many focus points you use, the camera can only focus on one distance at a time. Your question is about depth of field which is affected by lens, distance and aperture. Take a look at my video about depth of field: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z9V5ldma35fDfp8.html

@@naturesimagephotography thanks 🙏🏻 you’re my man! I am currently working with the lumix g81 Panasonic 25mm 1.7 and the Olympus 45mm 1.8 trying to figure everything out for street and portraits 🥰

Yes completely true. Lenses are compatible across both brands.

I have never used the other lens you mention. The Olympus 45mm was offered to me at such a great price I could not pass up the opportunity.

I do all my processing in Adobe Camera Raw / Photoshop. But getting great colour starts with shooting in good light so that you start with a good original. Then the editing is done with a very light touch.

Why would I do that?

@@naturesimagephotography I also plan to buy this machine so please refer to the root

Cool story.

What type of display do you mean? Is it automatic review of the photo?

Is MFT so greater depth of field f1.8 is equivalent to f3.6 on FF for but same light gathering for exposure. I use both, for some use cases the extra DoF is great like Macro or low light environmental portraits. FF is better for shallow DoF and dynamic range but not for every use case. IBIS is still way better on MFT so while you can't use as high ISO with still subjects you mostly don't need to. You can also make much smaller and cheaper fast lenses for MFT but my Sony A7iii isn't going anywhere soon. For travel/casual photography I use MFT 90% of the time as there is less resistance to taking it with me where the alternative would be my phone not FF. I can carry a GX9, 2 fast primes and a tiny tele zoom in jacket pockets and hardly notice them. I'm so happy we have choices 😊

I have never owned a GH5 so I can't give you that comparison - sorry.

The squares show you that the focus is tracking the two faces. The green square shows which face is directly in focus, usually the face nearest to the camera. I would encourage both subjects to stay close to each other so they are the same (or almost the same) distance from the camera.

I just tested this while using the advice in the video, you can tap the face on the screen to select the face you want to be in focus.

lol

Noob Lol, Pana have one of best and fast autofocus. OIS as well

lol you dont know nothing. panasonic af is great for photos. all the bad things you heard are for af in video

Agreed, I've gotten some usable photos from split second snaps using a Sigma EF 30 mm f/1.4 at f/1.0 via Viltrox adapter with my G9. Panasonic AFS and AFC are quite fast, especially with DFD compatible lenses. Waaaay faster than my a6000 with any native lens combo I have.

not really

@@pilsplease7561 Yes really, don't let KZfaq fool you no one is using m43 for photography because of image quality. It's FF or medium format. And serious video work is done on super 35 or FF. I haven't run into a single professional using m43 in my 15 years in the industry.

@@Carrot_Handler Ill agree to disagree, I shoot M43 and I shoot APSC exclusively because no benefits exist for me to go over those formats, I dont shoot in low light so I dont care about the low light capabilities of full frame which is not that much better than apsc which is in my opinion the sweet spot for sensors, nor do you need more than 20-30mp for commercial or professional work, any higher just creates more headaches than benefits. Camera tech is pretty irrelevant, the skills of you the photographer matter far more than the tool you use, I can take a film camera from 1930 and get a better image than a lot of people would get with higher end digitals. Just as some people can take digitals and film and shoot better images than I can. At this point its just a fancy numbers game that doesnt really add any benefit when it comes to mp count. Actually the majority of cinema cameras that Ive used and that people I know use, are M43 and Super 35 but more commonly on the lower size sensor wise. Ive run into many people in my 20 years using M43, so maybe you just arent looking hard enough or you dont have many photographers wherever you are in the world.

Shut up. How could u compare 200$ oly lens to 1000$ Sigma. Body doesnt matter. U just hater of MFT.

@@GanaaG the price of the lens and camera combo is same as a g9 and that MFT POS. Stop it fanboys no one is using MFT for real work. Look around you, everyone is using Sony A7s3, Panasonic S1H, Black Magic 6k, Sony FX6 for video and for real portrait work it's Medium format, full frame and some people use Fuji APSC. Stop living in la la land. $1k for G9 and $200 for a crap lens.... You can get a APSC camera for $600-700 and a $400-500 portrait lens and get better DOF and better low light iso performance.
