Can you touch to focus with s5iix?

[@mikesandow]

Since the making of this video, Portkeys has updated their interface... I am shooting Lumix S5ii and am unable to access anything! The only thing I can do is roll the camera, it wont even cut. I am very aggravated, the only reason I bought this was to be able to adjust focus on monitor,

[@VideoGizmology]

Good to know!

14:00 The GH6 can be powered via USB-C indefinitely, but for some reason, you do need the battery in there. I've run it for 8 hours at a time over usb-c and never had any issues. But yeah, for whatever reason, a battery must also be in there.

Good content!

Was wondering if it works with Lumix S5 IIX? Read some comments and it said if you are already using the USB-C port then you can't use the focus feature. So basically if you use a gimbal that needs that wire slot, it is only a external monitor?

[@VideoGizmology]

I've used this monitor with the S5 IIX and an older firmware and it works, however I was told the newest firmware has issues. And yes, you are correct, you need the USB-C port on the S5 IIX in order to control the camera with the monitor. That is the ONLY way. So if the USB-C port on the camera is already being used, then this monitor will not be worth it for you.

[@PortkeysMonitor]

Hi friend, could you upgrade the firmware of LH5PII. There are a bit changes in the control page.

[@pep98]

Question. I film in 5.8 K with my panaonic s5 IIX, to do that i need to have a external SSD to be connected to the camera's USB-C port. How does that work with this monitor?

[@VideoGizmology]

Unfortunately, it won't. If the USB port on the camera is used by something else, you can't use the LH5P II's USB connection. The monitor still works like a normal HDMI monitor would, but you won't have the USB control.

When I check the mointor purchase page online, it let me choose which brand I am using. It let me choose different brand. For panasonic, for sony, for canon, etc. Does that matter at end which brand camera I am using? If I purchase the model for Panasonic, what will hapoen if I connect it to Sony camera? Very confusing.

[@VideoGizmology]

There is only one model for all those cameras. There is a menu option that allows you to select which camera you are using.

[@Francescofilmmaker]

I’m not sure if I missed it - can you playback on this monitor. I’m using an fx3 I can’t figure it out!

[@m-tron5966]

theres definitely some latency happening....same shit happens with my S1H and Atomos Ninja V, it makes using them together, simply not possible

[@mygconsultingyou]

I know GH6 USB power option always requires a battery. With a PD power bank it still drains a bit of the actual battery....slowly but surely.

[@mcronfpv8736]

If your powerbank is offering 9V 3A there will be no drain, it can even charge if your battery is not full.

[@newfoundmass]

Maybe try turning MF on the lens and body and try focusing again?

[@Arkadiusz4321]

Lumix s5 has an issue with some monitors that 4k 50/60p does not display proper colors, in that mode it looks like false color blue or purple colors. I had this issue with smallhd action 5 and I've heard desview r6 has the same. Only with lumix s5, on other cameras they works good. Does this one work with lumix s5 mark 1 at 4k 50/60? and allows to record to camera's memory card?

[@PortkeysMonitor]

Hi friend, LH5PII can work with lumix s5 mark 1 at 4k 50/60 if you set the HDMI output resolution and HDMI resolution of the camera to 1080P. But about color, I am sorry that I haven't received the feedback like this.
