Happy to see you back, man! Been a fan of yours for quite some time. I, myself, have been using the G85 for some time and from time to time I find myself always going back and forth between picture profiles and finding the flattest image for maximum flexibility in post. Could I ask why you recommend the Natural (-3) as opposed to the Cinelike V and Cinelike D picture profiles?

[@NolanGunn]

Mostly for skin tones. If you don’t get your exposure and color perfect in-camera your color will look funky (mostly skin tones) in cind v or d.

Thank you for making great G85 content Nolan! Just started using the G85 this year to get my feet wet in the micro four thirds system, literally already have all the settings you listed except I set everything to -5, and my white balance is set to auto, which I'm probably gonna change because you're right about the white balance point. For my other C2 custom settings I curated my settings for photography. I came from the Fuji system last year and I kinda miss it but the G85 is still a killer camera worth it's value. I'm guessing you have the XS-10 as the main camera?

[@NolanGunn]

Hey that’s awesome! And you’re very welcome. I’m glad to be of help! And YES you’re right! XS-10 + G85 make a killer combo.

[@TheAdventurePursuit]

Loved this video! I have a question when going from shooting indoors to outdoors, do you have to just adjust your settings on the fly or is there a setting that will allow the camera to function well in both settings?

[@NolanGunn]

There are two things at play here: 1 - Exposure 2 - White Balance I would recommend getting a variable nd filter so you can adjust exposure between indoor and outdoor (sometime you have to take the filter off indoors, so it’s not super smooth) For white balance, it will be a lot trickier. If you’re shooting with window light indoors then going outdoors won’t be a big deal for color - if you’re shooting under artificial warmer indoor light then you’ll either have to shoot auto white balance or do a hard stop switch from Tungsten to daylight.

[@QueTheChaotic]

Great video

[@NolanGunn]

Hey thanks!

[@jominhas]

Your channel has consistently been a great resource, thank you. I have a question regarding IBIS when using third party lenses with optical image stabilization. The way to go is OIS off on the lens, which will then make the camera switch to IBIS, right? Even if the "stabilization off" sign (the little red shaky hand) shows. I'm sure you get asked that question a lot, I just wanted to make sure I'm not getting anything wrong.

[@NolanGunn]

Thanks so much! I would say unless you’re using a big telephoto lens, then use the camera IBIS only. Make sure the lens stabilization switch is off, and then toggle IBIS to on in-camera. I’m not sure if it toggles automatically.

[@northwoodsrecce]

Great video! Quick question... I have heard of some people using the Fantasy filter to mimic log profile instead of using the natural setting. Have you tried this, and if so, what do you think? Would you still recommend the natural setting in order to get the most out of color grading? Thanks again!

[@NolanGunn]

Yes I’ve heard of it! You definitely get better dynamic range, but the big deal breaker for me is that you can only use auto white balance and it gives a slight blue cast to your image. So it could be a great option sometimes, but I’d go with cine d before I’d use fantasy

[@manrajnijher9254]

Hi Nolan, great video, for the C1 manual settings I’m running into a problem where some of the settings including the exposure mode are Grey so I can’t change them, is there any way I can fix that

[@MathiasKropp]

Hi Nolan, thank you for your clear and easy to understand video! I bought my G81 (so named in Europe) and the 25mm f 1,7 longer time ago, but I never used it (SHTCNT 174). But now I will finally start ;-). What do you think about the 12-35mm f2.8 ASPH II? Greats from Hannover/Germany, Mathias Panasonic Lumix G X Vario 12-35mm f2.8 ASPH II

Hey thanks so much Mathias! I would definitely recommend the 12-35. I touched on this in my recent G85 Q&A if you want to check it out.

[@TK-ne2yo]

Thanks so much for this! I'm looking to do videos in the city at night. Would these setting being appropriate?

[@NolanGunn]

Yes! I would make sure to do 4k24 so your shutter stays at 1/50. But don’t go higher than 1600ISO. Good luck!

[@alirezakianian2171]

Hi, thanks for your video. I have a question, the same video, whats the camera and setup that you used?

[@NolanGunn]

Fujifilm X-S10 and Sigma 18-35. I don't own them anymore but it was a beautiful combo.

[@TDSPictures]

Hi Nolan. I wondered if you have any tips for using the G85 as a locked off, unmanned wide angle at a wedding ceremony, for example? I wanted to fix aperture and shutter speed but set auto ISO so that I don’t have to worry about changes in light? There doesn’t seem to be an auto ISO setting for M exposure mode. 😅 Any ideas? Many thanks.

[@antongrotov6840]

Hi, nice vid. But can you add up something about how to properly work with manual focus? As I understood it's essential thing for panasonic camera.

[@NolanGunn]

Maybe in a future video!

[@scamp_media]

I do a lot of run and gun shooting so while i rely on the manual settinsg for my main C1 and C2 settings. I use C2-1 and C2-2 for shutter priority mode for video when I need it, one is for standard 25 fps and the other for slow mo. The thing is, that depending on on the nature of the lighting and movement in the shot - there can be differences in light and exposure cos they are auto. Is there a way of locking the camera so that it uses the first exposure setting it starts with once you start filming?? I know there is an AEL button but seem a bit confused about its use in video.

[@NolanGunn]

So you're wondering if when you press record the auto-exposure will lock until you stop recording? I don't know of a way to do that sadly. I'd recommend working on your manual exposure speed with either ISO or a variable nd.

[@TheDIYFilmmaker]

Hi Nolan, I see you set your Natural profile to -3, -3, -3, 0. Do you do these settings for color grading or you use it straight from the camera? Thank you!

[@NolanGunn]

You can do both, but typically I’ll grade it with a slight contrast curve 👍🏼

[@ThePrincessRaver]

your videos are so helpful and easy to understand!! :) i have a question - how can i fix some settings in the menu from being greyed out/not letting me adjust them? for example i'm trying to set the custom settings for C1/C2 but "Exposure Mode" is grey and won't let me adjust it. also, how do i keep the settings stored in the camera? the settings i enter, such as ISO 200, don't stay saved for some reason!

[@jesusplayssax]

I was having the same issue but i figured out so hopefully I can explain it well enough. Basically you wanna prepare all of your custom settings on the creative video mode (the mode right below C1 on the dial) and then you wanna open settings while still on creative video, make your way down to custom, go to the option that says Cust.Set Mem. and save the creative video mode setting onto C1. This basically just makes a perfect copy of whatever settings you had on creative video mode to C1. Hopefully this made sense im not the best at explaining.

[@tomchitling]

Actually you get a similar "non-fault" if you let the battery go absolutely flat by leaving the camera for some time while it is downloading pictures via the USB lead. A new battery failed to start the camera for a minute or two, I assume it was recharging or booting something internally. Then eventually came back unaffected.

[@tusharrathwa]

Nice video. What’s your export settings for g85? like at what bitrate you export for youtube?

[@NolanGunn]

I usually do VBR 40x75 for really high quality. Sometimes I’ll do 25x40 for smaller less important stuff.

[@Vencarter]

I went for the G95 based off your videos only because the G85 and G95 were both $689 on amazon a week ago : )

[@richferr]

Hi! I downloaded the guide attached under this video and it is recommended to purchase a gobe ND Lens Filter. What size should I take for the 25mm lens?

[@NolanGunn]

I would get a 77mm thread and then get a back of step up rings so that you can use the filter with future lenses you may buy. Just make sure to check and make sure the step up rings go small enough for the 25.

[@jaywalker.]

Thanks for this! Quick question: is there no way to shoot 1080p24 or 1440p24? I definitely would rather not shoot at 30fps, but I don't need the pains of 4K. Help?

[@NolanGunn]

I'll answer this in my next video!

[@ethanpaonessa6642]

What about cineliked for the best flat picture profile. I have all my settings to negative 5 besides my noise reduction which is left at 0.

[@NolanGunn]

Mostly because the skin tones. Cine d gives you a tad more dynamic range but the colors don’t look as nice!

[@SpectrumArtStudio]

Hi Nolan I have set my camera for these settings and on the camera display and playback on final cut pro there are wavy lines moving up the screen any ideas why this would be happening. - would this be a fault with the camera as I have bought it used and trying to trouble shoot what it would be - Thanks

[@NolanGunn]

Try changing your shutter speed in the same environment and see if the lines do anything - it could be a blinking light source.

Great Great Video ,, I see you recommended the 25mm 1.7 Panny .. I have the Sigma 16 and 30 F1.4 in the mail currently. I've only had the kit lens before on my G85.. Would you say that I would no longer need to get something like the 25mm Panasonic ? Thanks!

[@katrinerommo5887]

Hello! Great Content! Could you please tell what your favourite Wide lens with G85? I bought Tokina 11-16 with Viltrox m2 ii and I still trying to understand it. I don't know. I'm just taking baby steps... but it is normal that with viltrox when I make f 2.0 on this tokina lens all background is blurry even when I trying to shoot wide landscape. For wide landscape shooting or wide room shooting (for short films) my aperture on wide lens must be bigger? Like 5.5 to 12-13? Sorry if it's noob question. I always thought less f is greater. But with wide lens when I tried to shoot background without persons everything is blurry on small aperture.

[@NolanGunn]

Thanks so much! Great question: when you’re shooting landscapes or anywhere that you want everything sharp and in focus, raise your aperture to around f8-f11. This will lower the exposure (so be sure to compensate with shutter) but you’ll have a nice sharp image.

[@Xitaychin]

Hello, thanks a lot! My Exposure mode is inactive, what can be wrong?

[@NolanGunn]

Try turning the dial on the top to the video dial (not C1 or 2)

[@leemyte]

Question, are you using the camera to shoot this video right now?

[@Les_Carnets_de_Tom]

Great video but one question won't suggest to use cine d to have a flat profile instead of the natural profil?

[@NolanGunn]

Depends. Cine D gives you slightly better dynamic range but sacrifices color (especially skin tones).

[@Les_Carnets_de_Tom]

@@NolanGunn thank u for the clarification. I will try your settings then :)

[@dongillis6769]

I am new to this and have the g85. What is the best way to shoot a video with a sitting talking head with a bookcase background and you want a little blur on the bookcase but the person to be sharp in focus? I will be shooting in 30 fps 4k since my editing program seems to work better with 30 rather than 24 fps, (Camtasia).

[@NolanGunn]

Hey Don! I would do a few things - - shoot at 25-42mm at the lowest aperture possible - bring your subject away from the bookcase (you may need to step back as well) - turn in focus peaking if you can (or double tap the screen in manual focus and it should punch in to check focus) #1 thing in creating background separation blur is to move your main subject away from the background. As far as your room will allow while keeping the composition the way you like.

[@Arkangel-vq2qd]

Hey Nolan. Im in C-1 with all my settings set as per your video. Could you tell me why I can't even click exposure mode?

[@NolanGunn]

Make sure to click it back into Custom video mode (not C1) and set your exposure mode to Manual then setup all of your settings and save them into C1. Basically you can’t setup C1 within C1, you have to start in manual video mode (top dial).

[@LinPorcelain]

How do you get to the shutter speed settings to set it to 1/50 ? I’m shooting 24fps n wanna make sure that the shutter speed can match up…

[@GH-uu1sg]

Hey quick questions If I’m shooting indoor sports ( basketball ) would I want a high Aperture or low one?

[@NolanGunn]

I would still opt for a lower aperture since you'll have better ISO performance by keeping both low.

[@kenyontech]

Congratulations on your addition. Its 2021 and the G95 has gone down in price for body only. Im finding it for anywhere between 600 and 700 .. would you say that it is still probably not worth it over the G85 ? Thanks in advance

Why is my exposure mode not showing or not selected when in setting mode? can't move forward beyond that. Thank you.

lo acabo de comprar con el lente que dijistes y si es asombrosa

[@NolanGunn]

I'm really glad you like it!

[@EiZSeri0us]

2:35 I can not change my exposure setting to M because it is grayed out. Why is that?

[@NolanGunn]

Make sure the top mode dial is set to the "video" icon (NOT C1, C2, or M)

[@gobigrey9352]

I bought the ND filter linked in the description. It does not fit the kit lens nore the lens you suggested in the video. ??

[@NolanGunn]

Lookup "Step up ring set" and make sure the set has the filter thread size of your lens, up to the lens filter size of your ND.

[@gobigrey9352]

I'm having trouble finding rings to accept the 77mm filter. Maybe link to a different filter size on your video, one more compatable with the kit lense and the other lens you suggest in your video.

I did these setting and if i change the shutter speed to these numbers my scene is super dark

[@NolanGunn]

You may need to raise your iso to 400-800 or add light to your scene

[@zanelowe6069]

when i go to my setting the exposure mode is greyed out. Also my display screen has a P in the top left and will no let me adjust shutter speed. Anyone have any tips on what Im doing wrong here?!?!

[@NolanGunn]

Hey! Try Turning your top dial to video mode and then you should be able to adjust your shoot mode.

[@TheAfroman]

@@NolanGunn I’m in the same boat. I go to VideoM and can make all the changes needed. But then if I flip to C1 I’m in P (top left) and can’t get out of it. I’m unsure what you mean by Video mode. I though turning the dial to C1 was video

[@joshuaginter2403]

Hey just found this video, i changed these settings and while I'm inside in a well lit room it seems to be very dark, is there anything I am missing?

[@NolanGunn]

Possibly, look through the viewfinder to see if the screen is too dark - if it still looks dark in the viewfinder I would double check your settings and then step outside on a sunny day. If it’s super bright and blown out outside then most likely your eyes think it’s a well lit room but the camera exposes it darker then you perceive. If that makes sense?

[@joshuaginter2403]

@@NolanGunn awesome thanks I'll give that a go!

[@thefellowfan]

@@NolanGunnso, the solution would be to make the room be better lit? As for the outside being super bright, would the filter you mentioned be the solution for that as well? Just found your channel and loved it but I’m struggling with be same issues

[@benhall8069]

Hi sorry I tryed to use your websit to get the Free One Page G85 Guide but it will not send to my Email

[@NolanGunn]

Sorry about that. Any luck trying again?

[@demarcuszwick1912]

Great video but definitely moves too fast, also would be sooooo helpful for a beginner like me if you showed how you get to the menu steps, for example it took me an hour to finally figure out you have to be on the M(movie) mode dial in order to get your exposure mode on the menu to be accessible, also took me a while to figure out how to adjust the aperture and shutter speed and am still unsure , do you happen to have a more in depth guide? caz i like your teaching style just seems like it cut some corners or is for intermediate users maybe? Thanks! keep rockin bro

[@NolanGunn]

I really appreciate that feedback! It really helps me make better videos. I think this one is for beginners/intermediate users, but like you said it would be helpful for a bit more specific walkthroughs. Thanks so much!

[@jakehowarth6209]

How do I change the exposure mode to manual on C1?

[@NolanGunn]

@@jakehowarth6209 Before you set it to C1 set the dial to custom video first, then save the custom video dial setting INTO C1

[@therealsyxx]

@@NolanGunn what dial ? There's 2 dials 1 on the left and 1 on the right. I swear I'm truly trying to follow this video. But I'm stuck on the exposure not being highlighted. And I've learned a lot but I see I'm not close to where I'd like to be. I just can't seem to understand how to get this done. I scrolled down to see if anyone else was having the same issue. I don't see where the dial says custom.

[@im_beating]

I just bought this camera and I cannot change my exposure mode, the setting is greyed out and unusable,any help would be appreciated!

[@NolanGunn]

Sorry for not replying sooner: Check the top dial and make sure it is turned to the little video icon.
