This was really helpful, thank you!

[@filmmakerali]

You're so welcome!

[@livesongs82]

2 years later and all this info so still so hopeful and relevant. Thank you so much

[@filmmakerali]

You're so welcome!

[@Lrizz]

really good video even in 2023 i love the gh5

[@filmmakerali]

Insane how this video is still relevant. I can’t even relate to myself in that video it’s so old now

[@lavapix]

It's still a great camera now near the end of 2020. I only had a few days to use it before my shoot with Panasonic back in 2017. That wasn't enough time to really dig into everything it can do. I had been shooting Nikon since the 70s. My D800 hasn't been used in over 2 years as the GH5 easily won me over. Great images and stunning video. Well done video explaining it all.

[@filmmakerali]

That's awesome! Great to hear. I did this video a while ago too and the GH5 is still a great camera

[@HiEnergyMusic]

This is a great starter video for a total GH5 newbie like me. Thanks a lot for this very clear guide!

[@filmmakerali]

happy to hear that, enjoy your GH5! Ali :)

[@PAULSWorld131]

[@officialtimcruz3077]

Thanks for sharing this Ali. Great content as always. Re: what you said about time constraints with clients... When you shoot in natural or cinelike d, do you colour correct your clips beforehand or just bang your lut on top of them like you said? Thanks for any info man, and keep up the good work👍😎

[@filmmakerali]

So happy to hear! Yes I sometimes do but mostly apply my LUT and it's good to go 👌

Very Good. Very Helpful. Thank You.

You're welcome!

[@HOANGJJNGUYEN]

I just bought a GH5! this really helps me! Also, What memory card did you use to shoot 4K - 400mbps video??? Cause I know Sandisk pro only write 300mbps

[@Albanez39]

People have had good results with Lexar x1000 (150Mbps), and they are pretty cheap. I bought my GH5 yesterday and I'm going to order them soon. You can get two 128GB Lexar x1000 for about $55 on B&H.

[@markshirley01]

Thanks Ali (subbed) - so do you sometimes video in 1080 10 bit (I never get asked for 4K). I work on stages a lot as you can see from last KZbin upload and still.trying to figure if I'd be able to single point AF (not tracking AF) with the GH5 in relative lowlight as I don't have time to MF very often. I've just watched a few latest GH5 reviews that show the latest firmware upgrade on the GH5 means you can use the camera like this a lot of he time.

[@filmmakerali]

Hi Mark, yes I film in 1080 10bit all the time for my clients it's great and very to edit. absolutely yes the new firmware has improved AF I just dont really ever use it at the moment

[@promariossigma2556]

How U have in Video M Mode Picture mode in rec? Mine isn't available and all I need is to shoot video with my custom settings and take photos on same time with same quality as the video by interrupting the video for a sec to get the pic I want and continue filming

[@eransalah8844]

Hello I use a gh5 camera with a ninja 5 external monitor and when I connect an hdmi cable the camera does not switch to power saving mode option by the time I chose Do you know an option to save battery because i use the cameras in diving housing and can’t open to change battery

[@chefjasonperu]

Hi . I'm not getting the option to select VFR on my camera . It's not giving me the option even though I chose the VFR in video rec quality

Ho can I change the font size in my monitor display ?

Ali Visuals This very helpful man. I just got the GH5s and I am very new on it.. Thanks... One question though. The you can download the firmware?

[@Albanez39]

av.jpn.support.panasonic.com/support/global/cs/dsc/download/index.html First one is for the GH5S. A new window will open where you'll find the download link and information about new features :)

[@aschoffotografie]

Thanks for this realy great Video! Is it possible to buy the LUTs you use for natural and cinelike d ? Thanks.

[@filmmakerali]

My pleasure! Glad you are enjoying it 😊 yes for sure link for the LUTs is www.alikubba.com/luts

[@aschoffotografie]

@@filmmakerali Thanks! I hope your are well and that corona does not harm your Business too much. I am interestet in buying your LUTs…and I wonder if they are also Compatible with Davinci Resolve ? I always thought that all programms that can use LUTs are Compatible to all LUTs. Is that correct or am I wrong ? Thanks!

[@publicreporterfarooqkaiser768]

I love the idea of tables of content. How do you do it?

[@filmmakerali]

put an @ followed by the timeframes

[@tobygt2907]

I got my GH5 today and watching this video is the first thing I did to copy your settings! :D A question though, I can't set the ISO Lower Limit to 200, it just says "This item can't be selected"... Any idea what to do here?

[@filmmakerali]

Hey Toby, that's awesome! enjoy your GH5. You should be able to set the ISO limit in your settings in creative movie mode check for system frequency PAL or NTSC

[@tobygt2907]

Ok thanks I’ll try that. Love your work dude keep it up! Truly inspirational.

[@MonoNovaTube]

Hi Ali, i've got the 12-35 lens for my GH5 and i'm struggling to get good low light footage. What would you suggest to purchase to turn the GH5 to be a low light beast? i want it to be easy to capture and top quality in any dark area, thought about low focal lens with 1.2 or 1.7, please advice 🙏🏻

[@filmmakerali]

Hey Ron, if you do a lot of low light then the Sigma 18-35mm is a good option then there is the 25mm 1.4 lens

[@MonoNovaTube]

@@filmmakerali thanks Ali, i prefer prime and native, which do you think better in low light, 25 1.4 or 42.5 1.2 ? Does the price of the 42.5 worth it?

[@SatchFresh]

Ron Bilevich did you buy one of the two lenses? I’m trying to figure out the same thing with low light shooting. I have the 12-35 as well.

[@Albanez39]

@@MonoNovaTube You should get a speedbooster and some vintage lenses. If you want sharpness, get Canon FD or Carl Zeiss primes. If you want unique lenses, get the Soviet Helios, Mir, Vega, Industar etc. Vintage lenses are cheap and fast. For the speedbooster I recommend the Viltrox EF-M2, or you can get speedboosters for M42 and FD mount. You can buy a Viltrox (Canon EF) and adapt vintage lenses to it with an additional dummy adapter (e.g. M42 to EF adapter - EF to Micro4/3 speedbooster - GH5)

[@MonoNovaTube]

@@Albanez39 Thanks! I ended up switching to Sony A7iii.. Really changed it all for me

Very informative video , what camera is better for video Panasonic gh5 or Sony a6500? Thanks,

I haven't used the Sony so I can't say. The GH5 has served me very well

This guy knows the GH5 menu better than I know my wife's backside.

Haha best comment this week

[@tomezhao]

My GH5 doesn't have 100 ISO? The lowest it has is 200?

You have to enable extended iso 👌🏼

I almost had one 😔

Hopefully you will soon

@@filmmakerali thanks man!

[@boborrett2974]

suggestion. Don't record a video when you have a cold or allergies. Good content, though. I just find the stuffed nose audio very distracting. It is difficult to listen to someone who is suffering.
