Why Shoot 4:3 Aspect Ratio on the Panasonic GH6/GH5

Рет қаралды 14,074

Күн бұрын

In this video I talk about different ways to film for all the platforms and how to access the 6k photo mode in the G9 and GH5. 6k Photo Mode allows you to shoot 6k 10 bit 30fps in a 4x3 aspect ratio with a 10 minute record limit, but you are still able to record sound!

(2:10) One of many reasons the GH5/GH5II and now GH6 is a preferred weapon of choice amoungst independent filmmakers and some production houses/ studios. The cameras versatility can often outweigh the perceived advantages of Full Frame, which can very easily be mitigated by skilled and talented camera operators… To put it simply, the GH series inspires creativity… …

Thanks ..very great perspective in 6k or 4:3 and then to turn them in 9:16 for social media

That's rad. I haven't tried this yet on my G9. I find myself filming in 16:9 4k with a square grid imposed over my image and even in 16:9 I'm framing my shots in a square

@MatthewDangyou Жыл бұрын

Yeah good practice. If you shoot shorter stuff under 10 minutes I recommend trying the 4x3 ratio

I'm surprised at how many people say you know your shit because you can record 4:3 6k 420/10bit LongGOP at 200mbps until the card runs out using the video mode. If you jump down to 4K you can also get a 4:3 422/10 bit longGOP at 150Mbps. All you have to do is go into the anamorphic modes on the gh5 to unlock these features. No photo mode is needed!

Pretty good idea. I just tried 6k Photo Mode, on my G9. I like it. And I get regular sound through the cameras microphone. A bit of technical info: My 10 minute 6k Photo Mode video is MP4, approx 14gb, in a single 14gb file, not broken into 4gb files. It's h.265, 200mbps. 4:2:0 I used a Sandisk Extreme Pro Sd card, 64gb, UHS-I, V30, 200X.

@MatthewDangyou Жыл бұрын

Yeah the 6K photo mode rocks. My only down side is you can’t use any of the ibis options this camera offers when filming in it. I’m excited for the GH6 I’ll buy soon for those options hopefully🤞

@randomstuffman01 Жыл бұрын

I just checked my G9 for stabilization when shooting 6k Photo Mode. I get Dual IS, lens & sensor stabilization. I get the dual IS symbol on screen, and it works. I don't get E-Stabilization or IS Lock, those are just for regular video. Also, for extracting stills from 6K Photo Mode on my computer, as opposed to doing it in camera, I tried VLC and it works quite well. I get approx 5.5mb jpgs. Panasonic photofunSTUDIO 10 is pretty lousy to use, for anything. And I just started trying 6k Photo Mode today, after stumbling on your video. I also have a GX8, GX7 that I still use a lot, GM1. Good channel you have. Thanks.

Question: I’d like to use the GH5’s anamorphic mode with a non-anamorphic lens to capture the full 4:3 frame and still capture sound - are there drawbacks to this method? For example, does it interfere with internal stabilization or involve post-processing to “unstretch” the anamorphic wide frame? Thanks!

@MatthewDangyou Жыл бұрын

Honestly not completely sure! The stabilization still should be solid, you might not be able to access all stabilization modes though

@castielvargastv7931 Жыл бұрын

Everything works fine here. Gh5 owner.

@xseb1 5 ай бұрын

When you put it into "Anamorphic(4:3)" the internal stabilization is automatically set to "A2.0" (which is only for actual anamorphic lenses). That can lead to very wonky images (happened to me before I realised what the problem was). You have to turn it off every time in the stabilization settings, which is a bit annoying. But otherwise it should work fine with a normal lens.

@thewrappack1098 6 ай бұрын

Does the gh5 still stabilise when you shoot vertical

@dylanmccormickmoran3528 Жыл бұрын

So would you always shoot open gate or is it just if you need that vertical video or movement?

@MatthewDangyou Жыл бұрын

honestly I have been shooting the majority of my content with the mindset of multiple platform use. Plus If you notice at the end of my videos I am using the open gate and have more head room instead of being awkwardly cropped in. Plus being able to slightly reframe is also another huge benefit as well if you want to give or take a little headroom. When I film though I always have a 16x9 frame marker or a 9x16 frame market on too

Hey! I’m pretty positive it does, but I am not 100% sure. I think it can record as long as possible in 4:3 mode in 4K, I know in 5.8k it has unlimited record limits. And I don’t believe there is any record limits on any settings for the camera

Thanks but the term open gate has nothing to do with 4:3 or any aspect ratio. In digital terms, it refers to the fact that it's using the entire sensor. So open gate recording on the S5II is shot in 3:2

@MatthewDangyou 5 ай бұрын

True but this video came out before the S5ii was released and secondly refers to MFT cameras that full open gate recording sensors are actually 4:3 instead of 3:2. But if you check out my most recent video S5iiX VS G9ii I do mention open gate and show off the comparisons

To be fair and let’s be honest, this is KZfaq. You can just shoot a little wider in 4K and crop both your main composure and you vertical rubbish. Having said that, I am hooked on 6k open gate because the massive resolution is just cream! I think I’m going to start shooting 4x3 on the GH5s now too which is not even 4K but something 4K into 4x3 resolution.
