When I changed the up dial from video camera M to P or M and shoot video the LCD look and Mac look the same.. But I don’t like M or P mode bcz I can’t shoot with 4 k and the photage is as clear show in Mac as in camera LCD but quality isn’t good. Plz plz help and suggestions what to do.. as some people says maybe Mac book screen calibrations problem some says Mac book already calibrated.. what’s your suggestions

[@RobBrownTV]

Damn, this video should be shipped with the camera! .. Excellent work, subbed.

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Thanks! Enjoy it!

[@mychalsimmons4177]

I totally agree

[@saisubhash1]

Yupp.. agree completely.. its like it is an official tutorial anyways..

@@TonyAndChelsea Your voice is so soothing!!

[@inkhole]

All these years later and still totally relevant. Thank you for helping me understand my first proper camera which I feel I could - no WILL - be able to use in manual mode.......in time!

[@AlternativeElvis]

Thanks Tony, just bought one s/h and you've saved me a ton of frustration trying to read the manual whilst dyslexic!

[@MaxsBestBootcampDanbury]

Amazingly informative! Skip to 49:30 if you're looking for video tips :)

[@honey4xi]

+Max's Best Bootcamp Will Panasonic update GH4 that supports SDXC UHS-II cards for 4k video of 10-bit 4:2:2 (Max. Read: 280 MB/s Write Speed: 250 MB/s) WITHOUT using very expensive external Atomos 4.3" Ninja 2 Video Recorder? SDXC UHS-I U3 C10 cards support 10-bit 4:2:2, 220Mbps (27.5MBps) Full HD videos up to 100 fps. SDXC UHS-II U3 C10 cards support 10-bit 4:2:2, 880Mbps (110MBps) UHD & 4K videos up to 100 fps. This is good for green screen composite in post for low budget projects or feature films.

[@genearlo3098]

Thanks for this video. I watched the whole thing to prepare for my G7. I ordered it and it's arriving today! Super excited to shoot videos with it.

[@ChrisadaSookdhis]

These overview tutorials are like Photography 101 where the instructor has the exact same camera model as you, making it much easier to follow.

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Chrisada Sookdhis Glad to help!

[@FinallyCeCe]

Purchased my G7 about a week ago... was struggling to figure it out then found your video. Thank you!!

[@simongreaves8699]

Absolutely the best camera tutorial. I have been digging like mad to find some help as a novice to learn about and how to use my GH3, most videos are not aimed at newbies and gloss over so much. This video solved everything for me.. I’d pay for this knowledge, thank you sir. The best !

[@gtsewell77]

My wife has a GH3 and needs some help, so this video helped you?

[@simongreaves8699]

es because there isn't much difference between the GH3 and GH4 in the most part, so this vid is very relevant to the GH3 also

[@gtsewell77]

Great! Thanks a lot!

[@flameknight7]

finally got my Panasonic G7 and this tutorial helped so much! thank you!

[@dgstudioLLC]

This video should be at the top of the list of gh4 videos. He convinced me so much I had to buy this camera when it first came out now I got the gh5 too

[@GSP-76]

I just purchased a G7 which I got discounted for $100 so price was $499...this video helped me greatly...thank you so much!

[@Blakwoodz]

i knew nothing about cameras! i got a new camera today for my youtube videos and dayam! i learnt a lot from this video! Huge Respect to you sir 😀

[@robe619]

I just purchased a G85 and initially I thought I was in way over my head. This video was extremely helpful!

[@thecentralscrutinizerr]

Dude, forget photography. You should be teaching. I don't even own the camera and watched the video anyway.

[@rekab7070]

This tutorial is well organized, easy to follow, and very helpful to me as I learn to use my just purchased (used) Lumix G4. I have referred back to it several times already.

[@citizenblane6848]

I'm in Zimbabwe. You're an amazing teacher. I was cooking last night and your ISO, Shutter and f. Stop video was playing so i was partly paying attention but i now know how to adjust my camera manually. You have a gift. Just got the G7, getting your book soon. You're very good. Regards.

[@sergiothe1ne]

By far, the best overview video that I've seen for the GH4.

[@aeksinsang932]

Jesus, this was fabulous. A free masterclass

[@pattio666]

THANK YOU! I began to panic thinking I was out of my league with this camera. Not at all, it's perfect for me now that I know how to use it. This video was great.

[@TheCmcyclist]

This is a great video. Couldn't resist getting a G7 at its current price and this was super helpful.

[@unboxit6016]

Chris Morris just bought it! Amazing deal and amazing camera

[@brandoncoley3963]

FLUFFING LUCKY. I got it when it was full price 7 months ago. Get the metabones adapter for canon lens and you have the ultimate video camera that looks like a toy which makes shooting fun for me

[@fufanux]

How is this for stills compared to any of the rebels (t6i)?

[@saffy_d233]

Awesome, thanks so much. I just received my G7 yesterday and after watching your video, I have finally figured out how to configure Aperture and Shutter Speed on Manual mode, and make sense of all the different modes and their uses, advantages and disadvantages.

[@marc-emiledumontpoulin6891]

Wooow !!! I mean this guy is in the ZONE in this one. Could you imagine every tutorial videos run like this! Life would be so much better. Thanks for this awesome tutorial !

[@Gary_W]

Hey Tony, at around 1:08:28 you mentioned that Panasonic lens doesn't come with hood and Olympus comes with hood. In my experience it's the opposite, all my Panasonic lenses(14-140mm, 12-35mm, 100-300mm, and 14-42mm kit lens) come with hood, and all my Olympus lenses (17mm f1.8, 17mm f2.8, 45mm f1.8, 75mm f1.8, and 14-42mm kit lens) except my 25mm f1.8 don't come with hood. Just want to clarify that. Anyway thanks for the awesome video Tony! :)

[@VVIPWORLDUSA]

I have only used my GH4 exclusively for 4k video, which is great and D800 for pictures, but I have to take a trip where only one camera is logical. I watched your video and made some adjustments and I am really satisfied with the results..thanks Tony!!

[@lisaseverdoodles466]

I adore the way you explain everything in a way that I can understand it. Your voice is so calming and reassuring. I have had this camera sitting in a drawer for several years, because it looked so overwhelming,... and complicated, like an alien language. But watching you has inspired me. Thank you!

[@davidoddy157]

Best tutorialI have seen, as I have just got a G7’s body, very well explained and clear. Thanks

[@MrProFaen]

I just picked up a G7. These Northrup KZbins are the most helpful that I have found. Thanks for putting in all the effort,

[@Demas242]

I just purchased this camera, and was in awe with the 400+ page manual. This video has saved me a ton of time, I can watch and just follow along. Great work!

[@WitteArtistry]

This is the most helpful tutorial on YT. Thank you for the clear and concise information with well displayed examples!

[@JustCallMeChris]

Great Video... One note, metabones does make a speed booster for canon mount now. I currently use the Canon mount Sigma 18-35mm and Tokina 11-16mm with it.

[@crimeskivlogsnmedia751]

Electronic Truth TV Thats such a legit setup with the sigma just got my camera waiting for the meta and sigma lens to come in !

[@jayslingualounge]

Literally the best tutorial for this camera on KZbin. I got this camera and felt so freaking hopeless as I had never owned a Mirrorless or DSLR camera before hand. All the switches and modes...I can't believe I know what most of them mean! And you even topped it off with some recommendations for sharp lenses? You guys are seriously making me go crazy with how good your videos are. Thank you so much. There is even a channel that made a guide and is charging for it lol I just saw your video in my recommended and I am glad I clicked it when I did.

[@garywatkins1703]

This guy is a natural...outstanding video.

[@JohnyTechReview]

Thank you for an awesome detail guide. Just got my G7 from the recent sale... Read the user manual and when here and just watch and playing with this. As a Pentax user, I love the extra FnX buttons. Also bought a 70D recently. Now I got no excuse to make better videos!

[@BruceBoschek]

I have two GH4s, one on a crane and one for tripod or hand-hold use. I have been using the cameras for almost a year now, but didn't know many of the things you showed here. This video is really all one needs to learn to get the most, or a lot, in any case, out of this excellent camera. Thank you very much.

[@raduantoniu]

This tutorial is amazing ! Thank you!

[@EdStarkey]

I am a GH4 owner and very experienced photographer transitioning into indie film. This was an absolutely awesome tutorial. Although I've had this camera for over a year, there are soooooooooo many awesome features on it, some I don't know as well as others. I can't believe this video is free!

[@luttekikker]

+Ed Starkey Why did you get rid of the GH4? Didn't like the camera?

[@EdStarkey]

+Lutte Kikker Oh I still have my camera, and I really love it!

[@EdStarkey]

+Lutte Kikker But I must admit, if you don't set it up right, you can get a really noisy image. It can be easy to make an adjustment that could improve your image if you have enough light but make it much worst if you are in low light scenarios. One of these features is iDynamic, works great in bright light to try and help retain highlight detail while exposing mid tones and shadows, but in low light or low key shots, it makes the footage quite noisy.

[@luttekikker]

+Ed Starkey I am planning to buy a GH4 in about 2 months, I have a Panasonic FZ1000 at this moment (I bought it as a second camera for my 6D but also for the UHD recording capabilities). Got tips yourself how to make the easiest step to the GH4 when it comes to settings?

[@EdStarkey]

Lutte Kikker What kind of things are you planning to do? Short films and movies, interview style, run and gun documentary?

[@Vilmir]

The ergonomics of this GH4 seems to be smooth to use, thanks Tony for the long demo. It helps figuring out if a camera is the right one for you.

[@JocelynRaulston]

I know I am late to the game, but I discovered you guys because I purchased a gh4. Your videos are incredible. I have watched a ton of them and feel like I just took classes on photography/ my camera. Thank you!

[@PedroEduardoBraz]

You deserve the world for such a good job. will stand for you in this GH5 autofocus "issue" and for better and cheaper cameras

[@Bobster986]

I have had my GH4 for a couple of months now, and only use it for video, as it was really designed for. I have found that the built-in mic works very well compared to any other DSLR camera out there. It is expectable in most ambient sound (live music) conditions, but the Panasonic shotgun mic, made for the GH series cameras is much better, the only issue is it doesn't have a shock absorber, so be careful while handling it. My other issue with the audio is that you can't record on the 2 channels independent without the YAGH device (another $1700.00). The best way of making adjustments while recording is using the free camera app, it also make a great remote monitor with little latency. For focus I always use manual too, but that sliding scale that appears is really useless. I'm surprised Panasonic didn't use a feet/meter numeric display then that armature looking maintain/flower graphic, it would have been better when focusing in low light, but can see you're 10, 20, 30 feet from the subject. Anyway, I can go on agreeing and disagreeing all day, but all-and-all great GH4 review. ;-)

[@felisha_renee]

Good gracias! I learned more in 59 mins of this video then I have watching countless videos and class tutorials. I have the Lumix G7 and was looking for a guide. I ended up on a forum and hindsite from Reddit recommended this one even though you have the GH4. I'm so glad! Thanks for the top quality content. You really don't mess around. I will be getting your guide for sure.

[@MDC2020]

Im totally new to photography and this guy is great at explaining, So simple and clear.

[@IslandManC]

Dude... Just because your tutorial is so good I'm. Buying all your material! Just got this camera today and it's so straight forward and not boring

[@Astrolavista]

You're such a good teacher Tony. I have a GH3 on the way (not the GH4), but I'm sure much of this video will also apply.

[@ericcurrence8477]

Great tutorial Tony! So based on your recommendations, I recently decided to sell all of my Nikon gear (D3 body, Nikon 24-70 f2.8, Tamron 70-200 f2.8, Yongnuo 565ex, and Phottix triggers) and invest totally in the GH4 system which I bought second hand on eBay. I've only had the camera for about 2 days but so far I really like it. Thanks for helping me make a great decision.

[@patrafferty3512]

TONY!!!! I just stumbled across this video looking for GH4 assistance. You produced another video on The net that helped me pass my FAA 107 test. Thank you!!!! I'm adding the GH4 to my DJI S1000 and know this video will be awesome when I watch it. Thanks again.

[@nevrozel]

As an owner of the GH4 this will be very helpful. Thanks.

[@taib0]

Best GH4 tutorial of them all..... I have had my GH4's for six months and thought I pretty well knew them till I watched this, brilliant Tony thank you :)

[@danieljcox]

Tony, love this video but have to completely disagree with your comment that Program Mode-P is for people who don't know how to use the camera. Quite the contrary. I've been shooting in P Mode since 1996 when Nikon came out with Flexible Program. The P Mode is actually much easier and effective than Aperture Mode. In fact P combines Aperture Priority, your favorite mode, along with Shutter Priority like having these two modes in one. The reason most photographer have no idea how P mode works is due to not reading the manual and thinking that Program has no ability to change, which used to be the case before Nikon pioneered Flexible Program. Old habits die hard and most all photographers have used Aperture Priority if not using Manual. But when shooting in the Program Mode the camera will initially select the shutter speed and aperture and I'm guessing this is why you feel this is an unacceptable way to shoot. No photographer with their salt is going to let the camera decide what they will be shooting at and that's a legitimate argument. However, what you seem to be missing is the realization that you CAN manually change the Program Mode settings that the camera selects by turning the main dial on the back of the camera. Turn it to the right for higher shutter speed and to the left for smaller aperture. It's an amazing way to shoot. And most importantly, for this conversation about the GH4, Lumix's Program Mode works just like Nikon's. You should try it, I think you will see the power of having Aperture Priority and Shutter priority all in one mode called Program. More info on this exact subject on my Blog at naturalexposures.com/photography-using-nikons-flexible-program-mode/ Great video for new Lumix users!

[@mellarock]

I am very impressed with this video. It is trully a GH4 masterclass, helpful for amateurs who doesen't know much about photography and videography and for experienced ones which are considering to buy this camera. Thank you for making this and sharing for free, mate!

[@garrityphotographs6688]

You neglected to mention that you can use the app with a tablet (I use my iPad) and that you can see the pictures full size and use the app to take the pictures so that you don't have to press the shutter button on the camera, although you won't be able to see raw images on your tablet, so I shoot raw+ jpeg when I use it with my iPad. Also important to let others know- there are multiple Panasonic apps. The best one, and the one that lets you preview images on your device, is called "Lumix Link"

[@jeffreyjaculbe3347]

[@DarrenKelly-TheCameraGuy]

Nicely Done Tony! I use to own the company that produced JumpStart Guides, we produced 55 DSLR specific DVD's and a number of other types of DVD's. Yours is much easier to produce than ours were, and I think just as well done. I don't personally understand the mathematics behind your valuations on -for example - what a Oly 45 1.8 is if you convert it to FF values. My understanding is that a 1.8 is a 1.8, etc. While the crop factor is different.

A very complete hands-on review of the GH4's features. Unfortunately, I purchased the G7 based on this video and the options you presented. I was extremely disappointed once I received my new G7 to go through and see just how many of the options you show in the video are only on the GH4. I would suggest making a separate review video of the G7 and its options that isn't misleading viewers on the G7's capabilities.
