Panasonic GH5 | In-camera Noise Reduction & Sharpening Test

[@mtjt1988]

Thanks a ton for this honestly saves me so much time and I'm really sick of the WHACKY WOOOHOO WEEOOOO YEAAA youtubers who take 5 minute intros and just blab Straight to the point comparisons Heaven sent

[@satan5259]

This is one of the best camera test videos on youtube, thank you for the side-by-side comparisons!

[@DigitalResultsTV]

Thanks for shooting these tests and not deleting them. I am very grateful for the time it has saved me from running these tests myself.

[@iSpike]

Thank you for sharing these tests. 👍🏻

[@carlscinema7086]

No problem :)

[@end27]

this vid is amazingly put together. thank u for all that comparisons. my favorite settings is definitely sharpening to -5. sharpening setting seems to increase grain by a lot while sharpness stays almost the same, just doesnt seem worth it. when it comes to NR once again i definitely like more it in - . just not sure if -5 or -2 or maybe just leave it at default 0. i definitely dont like it in +, it smudges everything, blurs, and it seems to kill contrast a bit too.

thankyou for the video

[@LucaBono.Studio]

Very interesting test! You should do one for the Lumix S cameras as well!

[@carlscinema7086]

Don't own any Lumix S cameras unfortunately

Ciao Luca. Ho da poco preso la S1 E sto provando a fare da me questi test. Con log, natural, cine d e cine v. Non ne cavo un ragno da un buco però. Non ho sufficiente occhio ed esperienza per capire. Tu cosa mi puoi dire su cosa sia meglio e quando? Grazie in anticipo

[@LucaBono.Studio]

@@FedericoBee ciao Fede, usa V-Log con sharpening e noise reduction al minimo...se vuoi registrare in rec709 usa cine D

[@FedericoBee]

@@LucaBono.Studio grazie. Per ora sto lavorando in rec 709 perché è l'unico che conosco più che altro. Non so cosa venga usato nel documentario ma spero di capirlo presto. Documentario/cinema del reale. Penso si lavori ancora tranquillamente in fhd per i festival del cinema "minori". Per cine d tengo a zero quindi nr e sharp? Ho solo visto in un video di metterli a meno 5 se si va in basse luci. Molto basse

[@LucaBono.Studio]

@@FedericoBee sempre tutto a -5...altrimenti ad alti ISO rischi di avere problemi di ghosting (immagini fantasma)

[@KaiFootikum]

Thanks a ton for this test. For me it seems that noise reduction 0 is best bang for buck, and the same goes for sharpness. Will use them from today at 0. And of course, I wouldn't go over 1600 altho it would be very interesting to see results for ISO3200, because 6400 is kinda extreme...

[@EricTMeraki]

I was messing around for a bit and just ended up defaulting it back to what it was out the box as well lol

lovely music

[@lovefirst6157]

Well thank you for the video, would of loved the more in depth but plans change I understand. I still prefer sharpness at -5 especially when shooting leaves, plants, and still prefer noise reduction at -5 simply because of the natural look straight out of camera. The noise reduction is not bad at all, -3 seems like a good trade off with not destroying your footage. What do you think

[@carlscinema7086]

Yeah, would have been nice to make a more in-depth video. This one feels a bit incomplete without skin tone tests, because that really is the most important part when it comes to trying to get natural looking images.

[@Random-yz8gb]

I am confused does reducing it or increasing nr make it less noice or more

[@lovefirst6157]

@@Random-yz8gb Increasing noise reduction will make noise, much smaller and nonexistent, but it does ruin the image so there is a trade-off

[@Random-yz8gb]

@@lovefirst6157 I really hate the noise and don't use the premier pros vr denoise because it's so bad, so what setting do u recommend? Idk about sharpness either

[@lovefirst6157]

@@Random-yz8gb for me you really have to shoot with certain settings, review the footage and see how u like it. I like my sharpness at -4 and noise reduction at -5 and I never use noise reduction because I never went crazy with the iso but if u feel like you are going to use 1600 or more iso a lot then shoot a shot with noise reduction at 0 then noise reduction at -5. If u can’t tell a difference then go with 0

[@joakimtollerud2172]

So what camera are you rockin nowadays Carl?

[@carlscinema7086]

Currently rocking the BMPCC4K as my A-cam and the original BMPCC as B-cam

[@joakimtollerud2172]

@@carlscinema7086 what do you like about it that made you switch? Im also a GH5 owner but also looking at the BMPCC4K.

[@dosmedia1583]

I have a big confusion!!! Wish settings is better on Gh5 +5 or what !!!!

[@lovefirst6157]

It up to you to decide. Plus 5 just means there is more of sharpness or noise reduction being applied in camera. If you don’t see a difference then leave it in 0 for noise reduction and 0 for sharpness or you could reduce sharpness too just please don’t go over 0 for both noise reduction and sharpness like +1.
