My Five Favorite Features of the Panasonic S5

[@danquixote6072]

Got my S5 and the Lumix 35mm 1.8 recently. I am blown away by the quality oif image. I was in Madrid shooting the other day and got home and looked at the footage - looks like a Holywood film. I don't even bother with vLog anymore. Also come from Fuji (XT3) and for video at least, this thing is on a whole new level.

I’ve been blown away by it. I used it for a commercial gig the other day and the files have so much latitude. Truly impressed by the camera. I’ve had my eye on the 35mm. How do you like it?

@@ShawnPBruce I got it because apparently it's the best one for autofocus. So far so good and actually, autorocus isn't as bad as I thought it would be. Certainly takes a bit of getting used to though. The only slight downside is for a vlogging moments, it's pretty tight so just have to be a bit imaginative when the need arises.

I feel better reading this. I literally sent my Fuji X-H1 kit and all gear in today for a sale and I'm picking up the Lumix S5 later tonight. Can't wait to test it out after years of shooting Fuji!

​@@curtcreative Another thing I discovered recently - if shooting V-Log and using Davinci Resolve to color, don't just throw on the Panasonic Lut. Try using the color space transform in effects. When you input the correct seetings, well, it's another omg moment.

I’ll have to play with this more. I watched a video about color space the other day and it has me wanting to explore it more.

it's funny how you mention the on/off switch. its a major factor for me. I prefer the design of the S5 and G85 over the G9's style. I have Olympuses and they have their switch on the left hand side. Although, I heard that some models that you can remap them to the right hand side. I havent tried that yet. I'm really considering getting into FF with the S5 even thought the S5ii is out, I think the S5 is the better value for me.

[@ShawnPBruce]

I still use my S5 for most of my paid gigs. It's a solid camera, especially for the money. I still value the on/off switch so much. It's so great to have. I'm tempted to get the S5IIX, but will probably wait until it's been out for a while.

Good point regarding cycling through luts - if you ever find out how to do it, let me know! :)

[@ShawnPBruce]

Thank you! Will do!

Hi Shawn! I recently bought the S5 as well but I can't seem to find or make my own false color LUT. I study film so it's crucial for me to get used to that mode, can you please link me to your false color LUT? I'd appreciate it!! Love your content :)
