You're welcome.

Sorry to hear this didn't work for you, but glad you enjoyed the approach.

@@DIYVideoStudio I think it is either a setting or connection issue from the Panasonic. I'll let you know if I resolve it

Although the R5 was released in 2020 (along with the R6), it is still a stunning camera. However, as you say, it sucks that it can't link directly to a phone via USB-C like the R6 MkII and presumably the soon to be launched R5 MkII. If I had the spare cash right now I would pre-order the R5 MkII because of the new features it offers, although a second hand R5 would also be tempting since the price is sure to drop soon.

@@DIYVideoStudio yeah I got it in a nice discount last september, so I'm not looking to make another big purchase. Might get the MKII next year and then keep the R5 as a second body.

@@eyeidea I'm glad the video has been helpful 🙂

@@Platinium_trophy You're welcome.

@kianasultan Possibly. It's usually much easier to adapt vintage lenses on to mirrorless cameras than DSLRs, but you need an adapter that gives the correct flange distance. The adapters that usually cause problems are the thin metal rings that just convert the lens to your camera's lens mount. That is the type I have for my 50mm Praktica lens and the flange distance is a little off, resulting in an inability to focus to infinity.

I think I shot this video with my Samsung A53-5G smartphone because of the subject of the video. However, more generally, I shoot with either my Canon EOS R or R6 full frame mirrorless cameras.

@@DIYVideoStudio thanks 🙏 I think I will use phone as well. I don't see much difference.

@@DIYVideoStudio excuse me, May I know that kind of microphone do you use in that video. It sounds pretty decent.

@James-tt7vg Thank you. Just as an update, Canon has just released a new battery, the LP-E6P, for its R5 Mk2. It should be backward compatible. Canon says it features higher continuous power and 2 times the amperage.

You're welcome.

Thanks. Glad to have helped.

You're welcome, and thanks for commenting.

Thank you, your comments are much appreciated. It's also good to hear that the new editing style is working.

You're welcome. I'm glad the video was helpful.

Hey buddy, I just ordered this microphone too. First off, thanks for sharing your opinion with everyone. Secondly, I'm really worried about background noise. I currently have a condenser mic that picks up the sound of the air conditioner and the cars on the street. Sometimes, it even captures someone talking loudly or on the phone outside my window, the concerned voice of a mother, or the annoying cry of kids. That's why I ordered a dynamic microphone to hopefully get less noise. I'd love to hear your experience since you've been using the mic for about twelve days now. I'd also be really happy if other folks who have used this mic could share their thoughts on how well it reduces noise.

I often play with the percentage based on my recorded audio. In some cases, I have left it at the default 90% (usually if the audio is "rough") but will normally shift it down to where the AI has made the audio sound good enough. That's often around 50-70%. It all depends on the audio you're starting with.

You're welcome

You're welcome

@RoadVoices I agree with you. Although it's not always perfect, it's quick and does a great job that allows me to create content more quickly, irrespective of the mic I'm using. Although I'd love to own the kind of microphones I used to use at the various radio stations I've worked for, there seems to be little point in spending all that money when this service provides such a good result at little cost.

Glad to hear the video was helpful

Thanks for leaving a comment 🙂

I'm glad the video was of use.

Thank you. If you're getting noise in the headphones it's either because of mic pre amp noise due to turning the record level up high because of using a low output microphone or there's a fault somewhere. If it's mic pre amp noise, try to borrow a high output condenser microphone to see if that stops the high noise level. If it does, you can either get a condenser mic or buy an inline pre-amp. The latter will cost about $50 and boost the mic level by about 28dB, allowing you to turn the record level done on the H5 and therefore lower the noise from the H5's mic pre amps. However, if there is a fault it could be your headphones (try using another pair), the headphone jack socket, or a fault in the H5. If it's a fault on the H5 you'll need to get it serviced. Also, make sure you're using a set of headphones with a TRS jack (two black rings on the jack) and not a TRRS jack (three black rings on the jack). I hope that helps.

You're welcome

I'm pleased you've found the video helpful. You're right, you have to use the controls on the camera, but at least it works. Good luck.

Thanks for the comment.

Although you can record to the phone, that's not really what I would use this setup for, since you'd be limiting yourself. Yes you can record to the camera's SD card (providing you use the correct setting in the camera's menu), and that's what I do when using this setup with my Canon R and R6. I hope that helps.

Right click on the image or video file and then choose "Properties" to open the file properties panel. Then choose the "Details" tab. You'l find the Title and Tags field in the Description section..

Yes, in Stereo Mode you will get one file that has two channels (normally a left and right) but the audio from the two inputs will be summed and that same audio will appear on both channels. It will effectively sound like a mono recording, although you have two channels. When you pull the file into your editing software you can treat it as a mono file since both voices will appear in the middle (assuming you're listing on headphones or two speakers). If you want to keep the two voices separate (so that you can have each voice on its own track in your editor, don't use the In1/2 Mono Mix, You can then easily split the file into two mono files, alternatively, record in Multifile mode and you will automatically get separate files for Inputs 1 and 2. I hope that helps.

@@DIYVideoStudio thank you!!!

I'm glad that it helped.

Perfect!

I'm pleased it was useful.

USB Camera Pro is available in the Apple App store, so you should be able to use it when connecting a UVC compatible video capture care or device (camera).

That's great. For my product photography and flat lays I use a smaller grey card that has white, grey, and black sections on one side and the the standard 24 colour balance squares on the other side (although the principle is the same as with the pop-up card). As with your setup, if my lighting remains the same, I only need to take one shot with the grey card and use it in Lightroom or ACR to get all the other images looking correct.
