Useful video. Thanks. For future guides like this, I highly recommend giving instructions as if someone is not watching exactly what you're doing because they're probably not. They're probably looking at their menu trying to follow along. So instead of saying "we are going to go here and select this" you need to say "we are now choosing the record quality and selecting 1920x1080 25p" or whatever.

[@RicardosRoadtrips]

I watched a lot of these type of videos. This probably the best one I've seen. Straight to the point and no BS. I don't film in 10 bit because it takes too much processing power in post edit.

[@TheSeanBampton]

9:19 when you're saving settings, you don't need to move the dial. If the dial is on C1 and you want to change the settings for C2, you simply save it via the menu system, and when you switch the dial to C2, the new settings will be there.

[@RotterStudios]

so you are saying if you want to move the C1 settings to C2? not sure what you're saying.

[@backpackerjohnny16]

Just got this camera. Cant wait to start making videos with it. Good tutorial!

[@ryanjharris]

Hahahaha, thank you!

[@martydenson_mfm]

I tried the 24Hz Cinema Mode before and the footage does look really good (cinematic), however, I had a bad experience with syncing audio with any device that was not set to that 24Hz frequency setting. (i.e. an external HD recorder) For some reason that "Cinema Mode 24Hz freq" doesn't match audio running at different frequencies or other cameras that are not set to the same Cinema Mode 24Hz freq. In other words...make sure every camera is set to Cinema Mode so you don't experience sync problems in post. External HD audio devices don't have a Cinema Mode 24Hz so you will run into sync issues in that situation.

[@JLozdrummin]

Super helpful but it's your smooth as butter VoiceOver made me subbed and hit the bell! Keep shooting!

[@cameronlensing7889]

Fellow Metabones to GH5'er here - You can control the IBIS and also switch on IS Lock when needed with using any EF lens. A lot of times it requires holding down the metabones button on start up to have those features on. I would highly recommend AGAINST E-Stabilization as my results have produced jittery and crappy "warp stabilization" like results.

[@toofattoskate1]

This is excellent thanks. really clear and informative. Just got a GH5 and the manual is quite complex to say the least.

Good call

[@Dez_Blanchfield]

This is awesome Ryan, thank you - I go so much from this awesome tutorial, I set my C1 as 24fps, C2 and 60fps, and C3 as 120fps for simplicity so that I know I'm going from 24, to 60, to 120 as I increase from C1 to C2 and C3 but that's just so I don't have to "think about it" - keep the great content coming, I hope to have the honour of meeting you IRL some time, if you're ever in #Sydney please do ping ;-)

Hello Ryan and thank for your profesional work. 1 question. How to get idea of what our color and lighting set up look like on screen, when we shoot on Cinelike D and everyrhing looks prety much grey with no contrast at all on our fliping screen?

[@terrygriffin5201]

Hello Ryan, I ama proud subscriber and I must say, you films are art. Really amazing. I am actually buying a used GH5, getting for just over 1k USD with a panny kit lens. I will invest in your recommendation for the Canon lens for my cinne setup. Question, if I will be shooting documentary and narration type material, do you think shooting in 60 fsp is still the way to go? For 2 person back and forth dialogue, what is the optimum shooting mode or settings? Thanks in advance.

[@mozinoz_digital]

Thanks Ryan for sharing your setting. I’ve seen elsewhere that Zebra 1 could be 95 for overall exposure, and Zebra 2 for your preferred skin tone setting 70-80? Cheers!

[@Rio9striker]

Thank you so much for making this video, I recently bought a Lumix GH5 and I'm loving learning about all the custom setting I can use to create better footage .

[@JordanSubido]

Is V-Log a necessity or cine d can do the job for weddings and interviews? I noticed on a VLog is the skin tone and doesn’t really hold up on 8-bit (I shoot 60fps and120fps all the time) Cine d on the other side, yes less dynamic range, yes highlight is more blown out than vlog… but skin tone and flexibility between 10bit and 8bit is amazing. Sorry I’m in the middle of buying vlog key or not. 😂

[@paulmayer1492]

With the 4k 60fps/24hz settings my footage is in slow motion directly out of the camera; is this what you're looking for? do you then speed footage up in post if you want it in real time/to adjust the amount of slow motion? Thanks dude this video was a huge help I dig your work

[@kevinwesleychung]

that explains why 4k 60p has no sound. Do you happen to know how to shoot in 4k 60p without the slow motion and with the sound?

[@teddyb4168]

@@kevinwesleychung Yes, you just set the to MP4 and then set the video settings to 4K 60P setting, don't use variable frame rate option for this. Generally shooting 24p is fine. Idk why Ryan said to set it in a slow mo 60 while in 4K. That was weird.

[@misterstringer]

Great video! Thank you!!

[@ryanjharris]

Glad you liked it!

[@forestlawson8635]

It wouldn't let me turn my variable frame rate on and also when I changed my system frequency to cinema it would not let me choose 4k at 60. also when changing to my c1 there was no cameraM choice in menu. Im new to the GH5 and a little confused, any tips would be much appreciated.

[@MichaelBrazdaFilms]

His settings for fps did not change either, notice in the video, he says 60fps, but the display shows several times, 24 fps under C1

[@StewartPalmshore]

Thank you, Ryan. Do you use V-Log or do you prefer cinelikeD?

[@teddyb4168]

.MOV if using MAC, .MP4 if using windows recommended. 4K setting 24p is fine if you want 4K 60 with sound then set the quality setting to 4k 60 150 I believe.

[@9333matzi]

Are you willing to share a video about export settings as well? I just picked up your lut pack...

[@gstevejordan]

Great tutorial - thanks! Curious why you would shoot interviews at 24p rather than 30p... wouldn't it be a more seamless combination, converting one frame rate to the other in post...??

[@joemaccabe]

Another great, informative video. Just wondered... I’m colourblind and struggle to create a “look” in post. Apart from general corrections, I tend not to grade. What do you think are best “out of camera” settings and why? Thank you, I love your videos!

[@scottcampbell3940]

I think "Natural" looks good right out of the camera. (My son is also colourblind.)

[@jonathanm.4713]

just trying to understand a little better the adjustment in frequency - as to why? additionally was confused in that first step as you selected the 4k 8 bit 24p but then made an additional adjustment for 60fps in variable frame right - sorryyyy just confused and want to understand!

[@marcosuozzi]

You also shoot in 10bit? Are your Lut‘s also ok for 10bit color grading? Thank you so much for your videos 🤗 greetings from switzerland

[@supremeFTW]

Whats the difference of: Setting the GH5 System Freq. to 24 and push it in the Menu to 60 using VFR OR using the 4k/60/ option ?

[@idolbass]

I'm in PAL freq but I think 24hz gives you 24fps

[@noelkinz]

Hi there. What lense under $1000 for do you recommend for gh5 specially for short films ? Thank you.

[@AlvaroLopez-fm2lq]

One question Ryan, why are you putting -5 sharpness? Thank you for the video. Very useful!!

[@ryanjharris]

Hey man, I find the GH5 far too sharp out of the box. It looks super digital and like a home recording when the sharpness is at 0 (in my opinion) I personally think it looks a lot less cheesy and digital when you crank the sharpness down to -5. I like the results I get with this setting, but hey everyone is different

[@AlvaroLopez-fm2lq]

[@GlobeHackers]

How do you grade your Cinelike D? I will try your settings. They look convenient, easy going...

[@GlobeHackers]

@@ryanjharris Thanks for your reply. I thought you'd have some favorite LUTs. I'll look for them. I did some tests with your CinelikeD settings and found them pretty good out of the camera. I need a simple workflow for a trip I'm taking later this month. Best

[@WanderinginMotion]

how do you reset your camera settings to default? or are you doing a factory reset? Or is it just this? Set the mode dial to P. Press the menu/set button. Select the setup option. Scroll through the setup listings until you get to 'reset'. Select the reset option to reset your camera.

[@wojtekanimations2530]

What do you think to put noise reduction to -5 for better cinematic look?

[@dleblanc]

Noise reduction has nothing to do with getting a more "cinematic look"

[@TrevsViews]

can i ask why you use 24hz instead of 59.94 hz or whatever it is?

[@scottgmaclean]

Ryan you get some of the best looking images out of the GH5 and your videos are a great resource for enthusiasts such as myself. I was really surprised given the quality of your videos to discover you don’t use 10-bit, because everyone talks about the advantages in grading... do you think 10-bit is overrated?

[@ryanjharris]

Thanks Scott much appreciated. I always have a disclaimer with my videos: "I just do what works for me" If someone else loves 10bit I get that and of course have no issue with that! For me I found very little benefit with 10bit and it really slowed down my post-production on my MacBook. I have never found it worth the extra time it takes off my productions - BUT I am not necessarily a perfectionist so my advice isn't for everyone. I am going to stick to these settings cause I am super happy with the results! Cheers!

[@dtechlogic]

YOu need to save the Movie to C1 first. He did not cover that part. Just copy original setting to C1 then modified and then save it to C1 again. Same for C2 and C2 just copy the same profile to it and tweak the changes to it.

[@williamwonser3525]

Hey Ryan first of all thank you, my problem is that I don't have the same menu options that you do for some reason can you tell me why that is ?

[@arminbravo9169]

So, this might sound kind of rookie but, when you’re filming in manual focus, instead of auto focus, what are your tricks and tips with staying in focus when you’re shooting a moving subject? I’d assume by not having a continues auto focus, it would be hard to keep that subject in focus, no? Also, I followed your tutorial and now I can’t turn back on the auto focus feature and stuck in MF. Help please?

[@davidvance7189]

Don't know if this a solution, but AF should work in the 24fps mode (AF won't work on slow motion modes) so I AF on the subject in C1 then switch to my C2 Slow-mo and it maintains the focus. If anyone knows how to select focus points within slow-mo let me know !

Great tips! Do you ever have a problem with micro jitters showing up in your footage while panning with the GH5? I can't seem to stop it from happening regardless of my stabilizer settings.

[@ryanjharris]

If I am not really careful while shooting I definitely get those. I use my cameras strap around my shoulder to stabilize the camera as I make movements and this works really well. I really really make sure to have a solid stance and keep the camera as level as possible when shooting to avoid those

[@warrendupuyphotosvideos8540]

Hey Ryan, i use gh5 + viltrox + tokina 11-16 like you, but the whole image sort of wrap a little bit in a weird way when the camera moves. I use the first setting in the stabilisation menu. My question is : how do you set up the stabilisation when using that lens. Is it because the lens is so wide that the internal stabilisation cannot really keep up with the width and therefore creates weird wrap? It does seem fine on gimbal though

[@dezcanso1540]

Do you know if it would be wise to invest into a Nikkor Sigma 18-35 and use a metabones NF to MFT x64 adaptar to start off?

[@chonjacki]

I followed these settings yesterday. They worked great. But I was experiencing a couple of hiccups that I wasn't sure how to rectify. I chalked it up to something I'd changed in the past and forgotten about. So I decided to do a factory reset and try these settings out again. But now when I change my system frequency to 24Hz and then go to Rec Quality, I only have 3 options to choose from. They're all FHD. No 4k options. What have I screwed up now?

[@sutv6754]

Ryan, Regarding luminescence levels. In 4k - 60, and all the other (slow mo) variable frame rate modes I see you use LUM levels 16-255. But what do you use in regular mode. The options are different. 0-1023, 64-940 ,64-1023. Of the dozens of video's I've watched no ever mentions these settings and I've asked many times with no avail. Please let us know. Thank You. Some of your footage is remarkable and I'm trying to get there myself.

[@juliancroot]

My understanding is that it makes no difference to the recording, it only changes how certain displays / programs interperate the footage. Unless you're viewing on an old CRT TV from another era, you should leave it at 0-255. Interestingly if you use Vlog it forces you to use 0-255 anyway.

[@notisbenos]

These are 10bit recording color spaces. If you choose 8bit recording, you get to choose 16-255.
