Great tutorial ! i've got a G5x and found the manual pretty impenetrable ...this has demystified the star SCN modes for me . Fun ahead to be had.

Peter, this is absolutely fantastic. You've broken-down the steps in a very logical sequence, and shown something this camera can do which I wasn't aware of!

[@HeroHondenbrok010]

Agreed

Love this video , I just got a g5x and my focus is Astrophotography and landscape. I cant imagine that this camera was able to do something like this.Thank you.

Great tutorial ! My G5X must have different firmware, as the only way I can get into the star mode is by using the touch screen, the control dial does not give the option.

Nice video! Have you got a link to sample shots? the video compression lowers quality of photos.

[@redress5]

awesome stuff. now to work on your audio.

I'm looking to buy a compact camera that can take good pictures. I'm more into landscape, and I usually backpack or climb mountains. Would you recommend this camera or G7x iii or lumix LX10, Sony rx100 v?

[@brisbaneastronomicalsociet9252]

Tien Tran I suggest the G5x. I like the viewfinder and the camera takes excellent photos in jpg or raw format.

[@peterallison57]

I prefer the G5x over the G7x mainly because of its excellent view finder. For travel and remote trekking situations I feel the viewfinder may draw much less power than the full screen and allow longer operation from a single battery charge.

[@tariqalkindi8045]

Nice demo thanks how you calculate exposure is it done automatically or you have to set it while selecting the mode?

[@brisbaneastronomicalsociet9252]

If I shoot in the Scene/Star mode the camera sets the exposure length. If I shoot in M manual or B Bulb is just experiment with the exposure length to find what looks best.
