This is what I call, high quality content. No drama, no BS. Thanks a lot.

[@shzammpatapon9865]

this is the camera that i use for the longest time before i jump to the a7siii. this camera is great, truly ahead of it's time. i highly recommend everyone to master this because it is an underated gem. super powerful codec ahead of it's time

[@ryanjharris]

It really is!

[@Kainthemain]

why jump over?

[@professionalpotato4764]

@@Kainthemain Because if you have the budget, the A7S3 is hands down, the best video oriented mirrorless if you don't need 6k. If you need 6k, then there's the S1H. 10 bit 422 all-i, external prores raw, face/eye tracking autofocus, usable ISO up to 25,600 or even 51,200, 4k120p... It has everything most people would need for the next 3-5 years.

WOW!! Tremendous value!!! I’ve been shooting on the GH5 professionally for 2 years and I’ve found this helpful! Props Ryan!

[@ryanjharris]

Glad I could help out a bit Jack. Thanks for watching! Let me know if there are any topics I missed.

[@ryanjharris]

On it!

[@MrBrajko]

You kill it. Love it how you explain all. Thanks a lot man. You are the boss.

[@RadMedusa]

Just grabbed a pair of the SD cards that Ryan recommends to replace the $300 v90 card I had initially purchased with my GH5. These more affordable cards were able to record any video format the GH5 offers that was 200M or lower (this *does* include a couple of 10-bit formats). The formats that were 400M however were too much for these guys to handle. Good to know if you're looking to shoot in those big big formats, but for my needs these cards are perfect and much more affordable than what I had originally purchased. That v90 card was overkill for my me and I'm happily returning it to Amazon. Buy yourself a new tripod instead of a v90 card :D

[@DrumzGalore]

U should try the sigma 10-20 mm for wide angle if u like the tokina.One of my faves for the gh5.

[@shytigerstudios]

Thanks for this video! I still love my gh5! Just shot a short film on it and I think it still holds up after all these years.

Hi Ryan, will your presets and settings work for S5 too please?

[@jaggadaaku7692]

Dude your video settings with long hop 8 bit 100 mbps VFR available... but we can shoot only slow motion shoots in this. And main problem is it only work in manual focus if we choose VFR.i m a wedding film maker I need continous and fast auto focus system . So which mode you prefer to shoot video for weddings with auto focus and nice exposure details for post production. Please reply ASAP. And in this mode no audio recording option is available but we need natural sounds while shooting a wedding . Please suggest.

[@WestVirginiaWILD]

@@jaggadaaku7692 turn your VFR off when you need audio and don't use autofocus. It is garbage on the GH5.

I've had really good luck with the Lexar 128GB 1667x cards since they're V60 and supposedly 250 MB/s. Only had a few flukes once in a while and it worked immediately after anyhow. Usually you can get them around $37, which isn't too bad for the speed and capacity.

[@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt]

Fantastic just what I was looking for!

[@clintcott]

thanks so much for these gh5 tutes! if you're always shooting 60p, does that mean you're never recording sound?

[@ivantatar4638]

Nice content. And I liked this format of video.

[@ryanjharris]

Thanks!

[@jkdprocommunity3288]

What a great video.. Question. I'll be shooting in a rather tight 500 sq foot space for a fitness video. The lens that GH5 comes with makes the subject look flat. The camera will move with the subject and so will either the wide or your preferred main lens work for this application?

[@EspenJohan]

Great video and tips, im a beginner is this camera difficult to use. You got a new subscriber fro Norway.

[@ryanjharris]

Pretty easy! Watch some videos, get your settings dialled and shoot away. I love it

[@EspenJohan]

@@ryanjharris thanks for the quick respons, is it ok to start with the kit lens to start with Lumix G Vario 12-60mm f/3,5-5,6

Hey Robert! Thanks for the feedback I will try and get something like this out on my KZbin channel soon.

[@sylersix1131]

Thanks for all your GH5 videos! :) Do you use a ND filter? If yes, which one?

[@jimcoon]

Hi Ryan. First - thank you so very much for this great informational video. I’m 70 years old and have been using the GH5 for about 3 years now to shoot video for my real estate business. I’ve not been hugely happy with my results and I’m so glad I found your channel. Can you tell me why you select 24p and then use VFR at 60fps for your videos? Do you shoot everything to slow it down in post? Thanks for your insight. And again - finding you is like having my son explain this stuff to me. It is such a help. Jim in Oregon

[@LukeSalaiz]

Great video, thank you. Could you link the metabones speedbooster you’re using?

[@ryanjharris]

Yep metabones Ultra! amzn.to/2N2N8fg

[@fangeltung]

Hi Ryan, great video! I changed the video settings to match yours, but I'm struggling to get a mic synced. It has that icon on the left side of the screen with no mic sign. Also shows up on yours. Could you help/explain?

[@johnnyfranklinn]

Thanks bro awesome job with the crash course lots of value here

[@BlueWingedProduction]

Amazing video! This has helped me understand my GH5 more than any other video on KZbin. Can you do a video on how to properly shoot fast moving subjects (athlete, wildlife, etc)? Thanks!

[@ryanjharris]

Yep I can for sure, any specific questions about that?

[@BlueWingedProduction]

@@ryanjharris Thank you! I find it hard to manually pull focus while trying to film waterfowl in flight or sports cars racing down a track. I know the auto focus isn’t the best on the GH5 but is there any workaround to nailing the focus on shots like this. Also, I feel a general video on action videography would be great!

[@JimHawkins1]

Same here Ryan. I do strictly wildlife. My issues are sometimes pixelated/noisy skies and flickering when panning foliage, (trees, bushes). Wonder if the 24hz switch would make better or worse. Also wouldn't be offended if you checked out my channel. 😊

[@gpl6789]

Thank you for this ! been looking for hours for a step by step settings on gh5 😊 your workshop is with gh5 or gh5+s5 and other cameras ?

[@SokalAgency]

Excellent tutorial video, Ryan. Really appreciated your tips on settings/histogram feature and grading.

[@ryanjharris]

[@DEADIKATED]

Thx Great Video! I just upgraded from the GH4 to GH5s.

[@JimLeonard]

Why do you shoot in 8-bit instead of 10-bit? Is it because you shoot everything at 60p for slow-mo?

[@StewartPalmshore]

Great. As always.

[@ryanjharris]

Thanks for watching Stewart 🙌🏼

[@mvm5439]

Does the GH5 autofocus work with the Tokina 11-16mm lens?

[@kelvinzyteng]

Honestly, Panasonic 12-35 OIS II is freaking amazing lens. I would recommend it compared to canon big heavy 24-70mm. For the low light, Panasonic Leica 15mm F1.7 is enough for me. Shooting HLG and converted to Rec709 with very low noise. If wanted even low light can go for sigma 16mm F1.4 . For people who wanted the all-in-one lens can consider sigma 18-35 canon, still big and heavy. Unless people who were previously a canon user then it is good to get an adapter. If new users, it is better to get native lenses which are really not bad at all. This is because metabones will affect the quality, especially XL x0.64. After using GH5 for a few years, I feel to nail the exposure in HLG, Cine D and Vlog is looking at the waveform, last time I am also using the zebra, but quite difficult when using flat profile and tend to underexpose. Anyway good explanation video

[@niznoobsky6043]

I disagree with you because if you use a viltrox/metabones adapter you get more light and the lenses you get will be compatible with future gear unlike native m43 lenses

[@kelvinzyteng]

@@niznoobsky6043 If planing for future to change another system, maybe invest in the adapter is a good choice. But is saw many reviewers said that metabones XL will lower the video quality. It is better to get x0.7 adapter. if you really stick with mft and not thinking to go FF, the native lens is good for travel and overall performance. I don't feel good to get a little bit more light to exchange the big size lens. Anyway, it is personal preferences, I just hope people don't look down on the native lens as they are good lens too.

[@Symposium30]

Thanks, this has been informative. Silly question; is there a difference between setting your gh5 to 4k, 8bit, 60p as oppose to 4k, 8bit 24p and changing the VFR to 60fps?

[@michaelhammond5106]

The VFR mode will make it slow motion out of the camera (as a note manual focus is also unavailable in vfr mode)

[@WayneRosa-Australia]

@@michaelhammond5106 Do you not mean Auto focus is unavailable in VFR ?

Great value there, Ryan. Thanks for sharing 👍 I had the Tokina 11-16 on my radar for quite some time also. So you find the zoom range 11-16 to be enough? How's the corner sharpness at the wide end? Is it suitable for photography also? Cheers 🍻👍

Any specific reason for the frequency you use? (around 1:20) NTSC allows for 4k 420/8bit/GOP 100mpbs as well. Only difference is its 23.98 instead of 24 fps

[@WayneRosa-Australia]

G'Day Ryan - I am reasonably new to videography - enjoying your videos. I bought the GH5 M2. I have a couple questions though, 1. In Cinema mode everything is 24P out of camera so If I shoot something in VFR 60P and want some of that clip at normal speed do I then re-time to 250% and if 120P VFR re-time at 500%. 2. In Cinema mode (at least here in Australia) Most lights at night time seem to have flicker - How do I eliminate the flicker??? Thank You in advance for the brilliant answers I know I will get 😃

[@conordia6906]

Dude, first off, thank you, as a newcomer to the GH5 I appreciate the content. It would be cool if you gave an insight into why you chose the settings you chose, ie why 24hz and not one of the other settings (I'm in Europe so I'm wondering should I choose PAL or follow your lead for example but I'm a noob so I'm confused now) Secondly, my GH5 isn't displaying the same menu options, which firmware version was this one for? Thanks again from Ireland

[@Filmmaker809]

Thanks Ryan for your advice. I shoot video for my films using the GH5 & GH5s. I'm hoping Panasonic will release the GH6 in 2021. As I am based in UK I set my system frequency to PAL. What would be the advantage of 24ghz Cinema mode?

[@ryanjharris]

I believe it is the way our eyes naturally see motion blur. I find the other settings to look too digital I want a more cinema look personally

Aloha from Hawaii Ryan! Purchased your GH5 class and LUTs. I''ve owned the GH5 and Leica lenses for camera for over two years. I am embarrased to say in that time I've seen countless "tutorials" on KZbin and until now, have never really set up my camera correctly. Now I have C-1, 2, 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3 all dialed in with CineD and Mono settings and have a much more comprehensive understanding of the camera. Mahalo bro and keep the vids coming! Was also wondering if you think your metabones/canon lens set up is better than the native Leica lenses? I have both the Leica 12-60mm f2.8-4 and the 12mm f1.4, your opinion that your set up is something to consider or what I have is plenty good. LMK.

[@wcsdiaries]

Thanks for this Ryan! Loved this and your workshop. What do you do for shutter angle? Do you always use 180 or do you change it depending on the exposure/motion blur you want?

[@DRobertson725]

Ryan why is the variable frame rate set to 60fps I am not sure I get this part as all my videos play back in slow motion with no audio... is this how you shoot all your videos and change it in post? Can I set the VFR to 24 fps? I just got the GH5 yesterday from eBay with a 12-35 lens for a great price and your video is the 1st one I have viewed but this section has me a bit confused... I have just also purchased the studio version of Davinci Resolve 18 so that is also a new learning curve as well... just didn't want to continue to pay monthly for Adobe products any longer... But thanks for making videos like this helps us average noob's out a lot. So if I am shooting at 4K 8-bit 100M 24P do I even need to set the variable frame rate at all? Thanks

[@brakmaster]

Great little masterclass! Just subscribed. I am not surprised with your choice of glass because I mainly shoot manual and vintage glass all the time albeit with a Panasonic G7 and GX85.

Thx Ryan I have a noise in my footage. What would you recommend? I try the sensor clean and refresh but it didnt work

[@ryanjharris]

following all my tips in the low light section? If you have noise and your iso on the GH5 is under 800ish that’s a problem - maybe a hardware problem
