G9 Firmware Update Explained pt2: G9 is AMAZING

[@marksoukup1267]

Just a heads up in regards to the 2.0 update. If you're running the G9 with version 1.3 firmware and are using Service Mode, you have unlimited record time for all 1080p and 4k settings. If you update to version 2.0 you will lose unlimited record time and revert back to 10 mins for 4k60p and 29:59 for all other settings even in Service Mode. Personally, while I am disappointed to see this loss of unlimited record time, I still think it's worth it for the 10 bit video and other features that have been added. If you don't care about 10 bit video and prefer to keep unlimited record time in Service Mode instead you may not want to update the firmware. Edit: To put the G9 into Service Mode, follow the instructions in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqLdc4qalr5paZY

[@KimCruz1]

wow so thanks for clearing that up! it's really unfortunate that the g9 is capped at 10 mins and 30 mins because I think the camera is capable of recording past that without overwhelming the cpu and cooling system! here's to hoping there's some kind of hack or other update to fix that!

[@marksoukup1267]

@@KimCruz1 Yeah, I did a test record one time. I recorded a video clip for an hour straight in 4k60p on the G9 and had no issues. Sure, the camera was a little warm afterwards but nothing to be concerned with. I updated my post and included a link to a video showing how to activate Service Mode on the G9.

P V are you shooting professional video and by that I mean do you make any money from video? If yes, I suggest a GH5.

I think the G9 will be fantastic for that and the AF is more responsive on that camera because of the newer hardware and the colors are better for sure.

Joe Marano when you go into video record mode on the bottom right corner there’s usually a number, either 29:59 or 10 mins in 4K. If there’s no video recording limit, it’s just how much time the camera can record with the amount of space you have left on your sd card ie 1 hour 30 mins etc...

[@colinthecameraguy]

Kim Cruz I haven’t Switched, I have both GH5 and G9. I used to have a GH4 (and the GH5) but I sold it and bought the G9 because I sometimes need two cameras and my second camera needs to be a Lumix plus I take photos as well as videos so the GH5 and G9 combination is perfect. Ergonomically I find the G9 is more angular than the curvy GH5 but I have a battery grip fitted to both.

[@knowyouryoga]

I own a g85, I shoot mainly video but do shoot photos of birds and other animals. Should I update to the g9 or gh5. Or save more and go FF

[@KimCruz1]

Hey man it depends on what you wanna do long term. For me the only benefits from ff is the shallower depth of field (sometimes a disadvantage in video with everything razor thin- for photos it’s more manageable) and low light ISO performance. The main drawbacks? Price of the camera, price of the lenses, filters, gimbals your might buy, and then the size and weight. If I shoot mainly video, you can hardly go wrong with the m43 system- the gh5 is a full on video powerhouse and chances are people rarely max out it’s power. The G9 is also a great option right now with the firmware update! Both of these cameras are a step up from the G85- better build, higher end features like full sensor read out in 4K and more importantly to me, higher bit rate recording in 1080p and 4K. Those are things that are ‘nice to have’ for many people, but essential for aspiring filmmakers. If you want to progress further in film making, both of these cameras are great! If the G85 is doing the job and you don’t need anything more, save your cash and go on holiday instead! After the recent firmware update, it’s much harder to pick between the G9 and GH5 but I think I’ve settled on this: if you’re mainly shooting for KZbin and do some part time gigs on the side, the G9 is more than enough. If you’re on KZbin and do more serious gigs for clients and want to focus on the client part more- the GH5 still takes it over the G9. As for the photography side of things the G9 is better focusing in both stills and video so I would go with this is if this is a big priority. Hope this helps man, it’s a great time to be alive!

I wonder if the G series is going to replace what the GH has been doing and the GH series might end up being what the GH5s is doing. Example, G10 will replace/upgrade the GH5, and the GH6 will be the GH5s upgrade. Then there are 2 'pro' line ups. I could easily live with this!

[@KimCruz1]

Makes sense!

[@kentcs5367]

There won't be a G10 release, because the G10 was actually released many years ago around the same time as the G2.

[@dustmicks1]

Do you think it would better to get the g9 new or find a used gh5 for around the same price?

[@KimCruz1]

Hey man if you’re really into film making and need all the flexibility of frame rates, bit rates and the expand ability of the microphone adapter Panasonic sells, I think the Gh5 new is probably the best best (it’s only a 100 dollars difference). I tend to not get used bodies becuase they break easier than lenses. If you don’t need all of that, get the G9 new! It’s the best overall camera if you aren’t a hardcore film maker, and many video professionals will be happy to add it to their own kit!

[@mr.banana5967]

Hi, thanks for your video! I want to buy the G9 because I do photography mostly but want good video features. Do you think 4k 60fps is necessary, compared to Olympus with just 30fps? For now I think 1080p is enough for me but I want to be safe for the future and to be able to to slowmo if I want. What do you think?

[@KimCruz1]

Hey man it’s nice to have but honestly not necessary- I still film most of my stuff in 1080p- in fact everything I film is still 1080p unless I need 4K for something specific (this includes client work)! As for the 30 vs 60fps, same deal, the 60 FPS is nice to have but remember you can shoot the same stuff in 1080p. However in terms of cameras the G9 is a beast and for what you’re doing it’s perfect!

Hi Kim and welcome back !!! Keep posting amazing videos and specially videos about lenses and video production's tips. I would like to ask you: I'm owner of GX9 and amateur videographer. Is it worth to go to G9 for the video quality? I love the size of GX9 and I use 80% 1080p for videos.

[@KimCruz1]

Thanks man will do! Honestly it depends on what you want to do in the future! If you’re into video, it’s definitely worth the investment but will you necessarily benefit from it now? Not necessarily. The main thing you’ll get from the G9 is the better AF which can be used for b roll but probably not for interviews (better use manual focus), and the higher bit rates which will let you color the footage more (but not necessarily better). But if you don’t mind the extra expense and extra size and weight sure why not! Just FYI, my kit right now is just the G85 and the GX9 which is just enough for the client jobs that I do. I love both, I use the gx9 when I need something small, I had the g85 when I need the flip screen and a mic jack, but for every shoot I always have both- so there’s no ‘perfect camera’. But if you need a camera you can grow into, one camera that can do almost everything you need, get the G9!

Panasonic makes great video cameras, but my OM-D EM5 MKIII blows away my G9 when I try to shoot birds in flight, and other fast moving things. Yes the grip is mediocre even with the plastic grip added. Panasonic's lack of phase detect auto focus is the issue.

Add some 6K photo & a bit of weather sealing & a few other G9 features & I'll be queued up at the door before opening time with money in hand.

Can someone give me an example of footage that needs more than 10minutes uninterrupted 4K footage (as in using more than 10 minutes of single shot)? Isn't it that possible G9 will restart recording after 10 minutes (or operator)?

[@KimCruz1]

hi Agnes yes the recording can just be pressed again but there are one or two scenarios where I need it but your mileage may vary. The first is recording a youtube video in either 4k (10 mins) or 1080p (30 mins). I know my videos are usually less than 5 mins long, but the actual recording can take anywhere between 20 mins (a very very good day), and on a bad day, an hour lol! Of course I can just get up and start recording again but there's some issues with that- mainly with the focus because with my set up I'm only using manual focus and sometimes the depth of field is shallow- so even if my computer chair (on wheels) moves a bit, the focus could be off for the next bit. Also, it's a pain to be interrupted to man the camera, not to mention the risk of not realizing the recording already stopped and you've been talking. The second bit is related to conferences/lectures/workshops. While not specifically related to 4k (although it can be), it's another way that I actually use my camera for long form recording and while admittedly this is done in 1080p most of the time, it's nice to have that flexibility overall. Anyway, sorry not exactly related to longer than 10 min recording in 4k but just long form in general from my use case!

[@raksh9]

Any kind of play or theatrical performance usually runs longer than 10 minutes. Any long form interview can last for longer than ten minutes, and if you're using the G9 as a B-cam away from the main camera, you don't want to have to run to the B-cam in mid-interview, it's really unprofessional and disruptive. Back in the day of the Canon 5D Mark II, it would only shoot up to 12 minutes in 1080p before shutting itself off, and interviews often go longer than that. Yes, you can restart the camera, but why do that if you don't have to? Panasonic cameras like the GH3 and GH4 were complete gamechangers after using the 5D Mark II for so many reasons.

[@KimCruz1]

raksh9 thanks I forgot about that! I shoot a fair amount of interviews and I don’t always have the luxury of a second cam so if I did at least I could cut away to the second camera while I restart the first.. anyway I generally take interviews at 4K 24p so I think that means the G9 will go 30 mins for that, but still, there will be interviews that run for longer thanks for that!

the 10 minute recording limit is for 40k/60 ? or all the 4k recording modes ? I am interested in using this for a controlled atmosphere like film, documentary / music video .

Panasonic marketing choices about the GX series were a little bit sad. My GX8, in my opinion, is the last serious hybrid GX body that can compete with the G series: it was a better G7, and a lower GH4. But then, after the release of the smaller GX80, they decided to create a more precise gap between G and GX cameras: they added the G80 and G9 to the most pro and overall versatile G series, and decided to leave the GX lineup for those who are searching for a small, comfortable run-and-gun traveler body, without too much pro features. Or at least, that's my thought.

thx for ur video i have been thinking to get which one gh5 and g9. in ur opinion g9 is better choice? it will be for training so that means not necessary unlimited shooting time :)

[@KimCruz1]

Well it depends man if you really wanna go all out then the gh5 because of anamorphic lens supper and all of that... but honestly most of us will never ever need that so yes! G9 is the best for now!

Ya buddy ;)

[@KimCruz1]

I’m seriously considering getting the G9 now!

[@A1Bokeh]

New sub! Great video about the G9. I absolutely love the G9 and just shot my first music video with my daughters completely using the G9. Check it out if you get a moment. Blessings!

Thanks man the G9 is a great camera and honestly one of my favorite cameras to hold! Ergos are darn near perfect glad you like it too!
