[@rickved]

Easiest and clearest GH5 video setup I have seen. Thank you, Carl.

Best GH5 setup video I've ever seen. Agree with other commenters.

[@josephasghar]

Hands down the best rundown of this camera for video. Thanks so much!

Thanks! Glad I could help :)

Best video I’ve found so far! Thank you so much for not over complicating things - I’ve finally managed to not be scared of the settings on my GH5 :D

Superbra video för en nybörjare som mig. Men flera frågetecken kvarstår dock 😅

[@josephryan5448]

Do you have a preference for narrative filmmaking between the Gh5 and the original BMPCC?

[@carlscinema7086]

To be honest I don't have to much experience with narrative shooting on the BMPCC yet. But have started to work on some tests comparing the two for an upcoming video.

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Very good information. Thank you :)

[@carlscinema7086]

You're welcome :)

I was thinking about getting a Panasonic GH5s (I will do more video than photography). Should I get a GH5 instead, because of the image stabilization? I know the GH5s does better in low light, but some other videos suggested that if I use a speed booster and sigma lens, I can offset that deficit in the GH5...? Also, what will getting the optional v-log for GH5 gain me? I think initially, I will be going out into the field to shoot videos to promote tourism, videoing myself for online content, shoot some event video, etc. In your opinion, should I get the GH5 or the GH5s, or Should I wait until the GH6 is released, so I can see if the GH6 has better features/specs for the price? Any idea when the GH6 will be released, and what the price and specs on it will be?

[@carlscinema7086]

I would say both are more for video than photography, its more a question of what type of video work. The GH5 would be preferred for more run & gun type shooting while the GH5s would shine in a more typical narrative shoot, if the camera is supported by grip equipment like a dolly/slider etc. I would also consider the BMPCC4K if you don't need the ibis of the GH5. As for as I know, the GH6 is only rumors at this point, nothing official.

@@carlscinema7086 Thank you for the advice.

[@joakimtollerud2172]

Great video Carl. Thx! Would you use 50% zebras on skin tones for HLG as well?

[@carlscinema7086]

Its been a while since I last HLG but if I recall correctly it would be somewhere around 60-65% like the other profiles. V-log L is a bit different since it caps out at 80%.

[@youcdl]

Viltrox + vintage lens: do you use tape on the contacts or another solution?

[@carlscinema7086]

Haven't had any problems with the contacts, just mounting the lens like normal.

[@sutv6754]

VERY GOOD. Thank you. Have you played around and tested the Luminance levels? There is very little info anywhere on Luminence levels.

[@carlscinema7086]

I haven't really. Since i almost always shoot in V-log the option to change luminance levels are greyed out.

[@paulsummers1473]

Hi Carl, I'm researching the settings for filmmaking on GH5 mark 2 - would you say this video is the same settings for the mark 2? or would there be anything major you would change? Thanks...

[@abahmoses3054]

good day I gh5s where can I set monitor hand fucus in setting n

[@ChuckSeayII]

Now I am TOTALLY confused about the MFT crop factor! I understood it to be that you have a 2X crop factor on the GH5! If you add an Ultra .71 SB it basically changes the 2X crop factor to 1.42. Therefore, I would calculate a 35mm lens to a 49.7mm lens on a GH5! I have seen numerous folks on KZbin teaching this to folks! Please help me understand what I am missing here! Thanks in advance!

[@carlscinema7086]

That is correct, assuming you want to calculate the full frame equivalent field of view. But the focal length stays the same, no matter the camera or sensor size. A 35mm lens is always a 35mm lens, no matter if its on a full frame camera, super35, mft or super16. The field of view will be different though, but the focal length is a physical measurement of the lens and therefore doesn't change.

[@lovefirst6157]

Video idea: avchd vs mp4(lcpm) 1080p 8 bit 4.2.0 if there is any difference. Avchd is 24mbps while mp4 is 100mbps but is the a difference. The other one is the sharpness and noise reduction test I asked last time

[@carlscinema7086]

Thanks for the suggestion! Will look into it, maybe try to incorporate it with some more stuff, we'll see.

[@FullTekAuto]

What's the song in your video?

[@carlscinema7086]

"Ersatz Bossa" by "John Deley and the 41 Players", can be found in the KZbin audio library
