Testing the Panasonic GH5 in a portrait shoot - in 4k

So I did a little portrait shoot while the Cherry Blossoms are in full bloom to test out the GH5. I've been shooting a lot more video with the GH5 but I was surprised at how good the Autofocus is when it comes to photography.

What an incredible camera. You really have an eye for beauty, I loved seeing your shots in this. Even just as a demonstration, it was all gorgeous. Keep it up!! :)

[@cactustweeter2890]

Thanks for doing this video. I was curious how the stills out of this camera would be.

[@reubensmedia]

I'm in that 10% as well. Thank you for the video. There aren't many videos on KZbin about photo side of it so I definitely appreciate it! Subscribed to your channel about 3 weeks ago and have no regrets. Keep up the awesome work, look forward to more videos like this!!

Thanks for this tutorial, I'm also in this 10%. I'm a videographer but I've been asked to do the photography at a family wedding in a few week's time. I've got a GH5 with the Sigma 18-35 and Metabones speedbooster. I also own a Canon 70D. Faced with that choice, would you go with the GH5 or the 70D as your primary camera for the shoot?

[@caiminjacob2798]

Wow, well done! I've searched Instagram extensively for gh5 photography and the photos you've produced here are the best I've seen so far hands down! I've just bought the gh5 for video (I still use my 80d for photography jobs) haven't been out and about with it just yet because the weather has been awful the past few days, but it's really good to know that the Gh5 can take decent photographs if it's the only camera I have on hand. Subbed!

[@Gp-mb3pc]

Awesome video man. Thanks, not enough videos out there hilighting the stills side.

[@NevinXavier]

So impressed with the photo quality...

[@calebmount4457]

Thanks dude! You should do a comparison of the 20mm f1.7 vs 25mm f1.7

[@thanehanson8369]

Thank you for another great video. Like you said, not many people are making videos about its photo capabilities, which, at least to me, are of interest in a hybrid cam like this. Bonus for the inclusion of metabones results! High quality as always!

[@PeacefulMoments1844]

Does anyone know if its possible to edit from the GH5 to Affinity Photo on the iPad Pro? Thanks

[@andrew1925]

I have a question I use the lumix g7. 16:9 is only 12mp but 4:3 is 16mp. Does this mean the 4:3 will be sharper or just larger? Which should I use? thanks for the video.

[@kimlayly5371]

Hey question. Do you know the gh5 won't show pictures thumbnails?? even i check the "show thumbnail never icon" button? is it my setting? anyone else have this problem?

I've heard some people complain of lack of sharpness when using the metabones for stills, have you experienced this? Nice little review from stills point of view.

[@rileymelvin9109]

Nice video man! I switched from the 12-35mm to the Leica 12-60mm and I love the extended zoom. I was thinking about getting the Leica 42.5mm for portraits.

[@NQMediaUK]

Thanks for the video and it's the first I have seen that concentrates on the stills side and interestingly the first I have seen using the metabones on the GH5 with the sigma 18-35mm f1.8 for stills 😊👍Really wasn't expecting the focusing to be that quick as there seem to be a number of reports claiming it to be really slow. I also use MFT for 90% stills and have just received my GH5.. and so far very impressed..lenses I use include the Oly 75mm f1.8 and the Oly 25mm f1.8..both offer great results...thanks again and please keep up the great content..

[@cozyfauna]

I have a gh5 and am wondering if there is a use for the 4k/6k photo mode outside of quickly moving subjects. If the camera normally takes 20 mp photos, why use a slower and clunkier mode that will leave you with an 18 mp image? Legitimately curious about this as I basically do not use the 4k/6k other than for animals that might run away.

[@felipevece]

Can you use Flash like youngnuo Flash in the Gh5?

[@jeremyfoster8726]

I have GH5 for wedding video -- I was thinking of grabbing a Nikon 750 for portraits just as a beginner. Would you recommend I stick with the GH5?

[@EastCoastReggaecom]

Thanks for sharing the info on AF in photo mode. How well does the autofocus work with photos and the metabones/sigma vs native m4/3 lenses. Love your post processing style on the portraits also!

[@LeeZavitz]

I show that in the video at 6:15 . It is really good actually. I would say it isn't quite as fast due to the fact that it has to drive a bigger motor in the lens. Its pretty actuate though!

[@EastCoastReggaecom]

Ahhh ~ I must have looked away when you changed lenses - thanks!

[@DoxAmillion]

What settings did you have on these shots ?

What about with Canon Lens like 70-200 F4 and Canon 24-105 F4. Can you test it with those lens.

[@pacificbloomco]

great video!

[@ExploreTravelTV]

did you shoot Raw? and bring them into Photoshop? I don't think mine works. I tried light room but I know that didn't work.

[@LeeZavitz]

itsthedaveshow need to make sure Adobe Camera Raw is updated since the gh5 is new. Then you can open in PS or LR

[@truthseeker36]

What are your photo setting for Gh5?

[@truecuckoo]

I totally agree. The auto focus in photos mode is great. Continuous focus tracking in photos is even more than great, it's close to amazing. Touch an object and it tracks really really well. It's totally beyond me why the video auto focus isn't on pair.. The colours though. I think there's a strange green yellow cast error in everything Panasonic. Difficult to put my finger on. But coming with a Fuji colours background, I don't find the Panasonic colours appealing at all.

[@LeeZavitz]

cuckoomusic I have yet to try the continuous AF on anything yet but it is really crazy to me how good the autofocus is for contrast detect. It's extremely fast and accurate. Obviously a different team working on the software for photos than video side of things lol

[@1MORE808]

Hey dude nice video, just wondering what you need to do to be able to open your RAW files in Photoshop? I tried to open a few files and because they are RAW2 it won't let me open in camera RAW. Please help, thank you!

[@ParallelFeatures]

(أشترك ليصلك الجديد) knowwork9 I would go for a gh5 and buy a fast lens for lowlight situations.

[@DarkestDawnZK]

You sold me on this camera, especially with the sigma 18-35. I was tossing between a few for the longest time, now I know I want this camera.

[@ParallelFeatures]

Darkest Before Dawn did you try 12-40mm Olympus lens ? You dont need an adaptor for that .

[@ruff1draft]

Great photographer camera and a great film camera. It is great as a micro four thirds photographer camera and an APC camera when used with a metabones adapter.

[@angelgcastro1]

This camera definitely takes amazing photos.

[@caitybreann10]

would you recommend just going with the 42.5 or getting the speedbooster setup? I only have so much money haha but they both looked good in your shots so i can't decide haha.

[@LeeZavitz]

If you want to use Canon lenses Go for the metabones. If you want small compact lenses get m4/3 lenses. I only picked up the 42.5mm because I wanted something with the ability to get some subject isolation on that tiny m4/3 sensor. I also needed a lens to do autofocus testing with and Image stabilization. But I only plan to use Canon lenses with the GH5 because I'm using it for video 100% of the time and Canon lenses have real focus rings instead of the m4/3 focus by wire system.

[@ministerkareemc]

Nice video and pictures. I have the same camera and lenses. How do you focus with the Sigma 18-35 when taking stills?

[@LeeZavitz]

Mattias Nilsson just use the center point. Af is actually surprisingly good

[@diggyz82]

It works great for me with lumix lenses but with the speed booster sigma combination its not getting sharp when autofocus :( When i zoom in i see that the focus isn't nailed :(

[@LeeZavitz]

Strange. I haven't had a problem. Im doing double focus sometimes. Like I will lock focus and then do it again just to make sure its locked. Its obviously never going to be as good as a native lens but I've had some good success with it.

[@JStieloSoloPhysique1987]

Im part of that 10%.. I bought a G7 for my first interchangeable lens camera. I Have a BMPCC now as well for video. Im new to all of this but I like the pics from my G7

[@BolterityESO]

im not really familiar with speed boosters so I have a few questions about it. Do sigma lenses require a speed booster to be placed on the gh5? and does the metabones speed booster, linked in the description, work for lumix lenses on my gh5, or does it have to be sigma and cannon ef lenses? im looking to use a speed booster on my gh5 with my lumix lens

[@LeeZavitz]

Speed booster is for non native m4/3 mount lenses. Your Lumix lenses are already made for your camera you can’t use a speedboster

[@BolterityESO]

@@LeeZavitz Figured as much, unfortunately... tbh i was looking for a solution in order to get a wider angle view using my 25mm, which is more like 50mm on the gh5

[@marcds1007]

Hey dude! How is the auto focus working with de Sigma 18-35 in still photos and video? I have one from my previous Canon and i'm thinking about getting the metabones Ultra, a 25mm-50mm F1.2 lens looks amazing!

[@LeeZavitz]

Its pretty good for photos but its pretty bad at AF in video.

[@RyanOnDrums]

My GH5ii just doesn’t look as sharp as this, the pictures seem really low quality and I don’t know why?

[@ntrakstudio]

Nice subject matter!

[@jepark7751]

It's underrated for stills but you can still see the drawbacks of a pure contrast detect autofocus with the slight back and forth when focusing in the kitchen. Still super fast but if you really look for it, you'll see it.

[@josefweisleitner2559]

You won't see it in the final picture ;-)

[@joelolivo2367]

My Photoshop does not enter camera raw with the GH5 Raw pics. How can I fix that?

[@LeeZavitz]

joel olivo you probably need to update camera raw if you’re using an old version.

[@PXLGraphics]

What camera would you recommend for someone who would use it for 80% photos and 20% video? want to spend like 1600€ on a used or new one. Currently aiming for an Canon 5d III or Nikon D750

[@LeeZavitz]

Yannik Get an XT2 you won't regret it

[@PXLGraphics]

Thought about that as well but the APS-C sensor is holding me back to be honest. I will just compare more images to see if it really makes that big of a difference, thanks!

[@LeeZavitz]

Yannik I switched from the 5D even had the a7rii . I haven't noticed a massive difference in lowlight high ISO. The a7rii is slightly better and fullframe has shallower depth of Field at f2.8 compared to a APS-C but at f1.4 and f1.2 you can't really notice a massive difference

[@PXLGraphics]

Great to hear that, thanks for sharing! Already watched your reviews, they were super helpful and the quality of them is insane, keep them up!

[@kwameokese4531]

Can you share the files

[@DKShoots.]

Metabones 18 to 35 Sigma art lens..... how is that even possible to have a electronic Connection? Is that a Canon mount? I have the Nikon version on the GH4 and there is no autofocus at all.

@Zed ProMedia why do you prefer this camera over the Fuji XT-2 for videos?? Also, have you had chance to try Nikon D850? Can you compare XT2 and D850?

[@LeeZavitz]

Because the image quality is far better than the XT2 for video. Not to mention picture styles you can actually grade, codecs, frame rates, internal 10bit, proper waveforms, ergonomics, Flipout screen, Amazing IBIS. Nothing else touches it for the price. As for the XT2 vs D850 not really an fair comparison. The D850 is in a different league. Especially the price.

@Zed ProMedia Thanks a lot for the answer! I know D850 is almost the double price of the XT2 system but for professional use do you think is there a big difference worth the price gap? (assuming we have enough budget for D850..) Also, XT2 is famous with its image quality, sharp details and beautiful colors. How do you compare these 2 systems in terms of these? (especially the color tones comparison of these two). Thanks so much! :)

[@LeeZavitz]

Göktuğ Kral I've never used a d850 so I can't make that call. But assuming you have the money the d850 will be a much better camera over the XT2. Dynamic range, image detail, high ISO, autofocus. It will all be superior to the XT2. Mainly the high ISO performance.

[@fotomats8651]

[@jennifermootoo6974]

When pairing the Metabones T Speed Booster Ultra 0.71x Adapter with the sigma lens, is there any vignetting?

[@LeeZavitz]

Not with the 0.71x adapter. You will get some with the 0.64x adapter

[@jennifermootoo6974]

thank you for the fast response! And thank you for all the great info!!!! BEST

[@jennifermootoo6974]

Also, does the Metabones T Speed Booster work with canon lens? I'm new to the world of metabones :( i'm looking to pair the GH5 with lens that will give some nice bokeh

[@madelineabio9406]

Jennifer Mootoo i’m not sure but I use a sigma lens on my canon camera so if it works with that then a canon lens should work i think?

[@codysaunders4941]

You can use AF-C for the 6k/4k photo modes.

[@LeeZavitz]

maybe the afc is just bad in that mode? I couldnt get it to work.

[@codysaunders4941]

Not sure, might depend on which recording method you are using. In the box is a Quick Guide for the 6k/4k Photo modes. At the bottom where the bullet points are it says "If you are using Auto Focus, Continuous AF will work during recording. Focus will be adjusted continuously." Ill try it later on my camera and let you know.

[@LeeZavitz]

Cody Saunders any time I've tried it it's never worked. But I did read that. Maybe it works similar to how it does in video.

[@codysaunders4941]

I just tested it out, I put it in the normal 6k and the 6k S/S mode and it kept focusing as i slowly moved the camera away from what I was recording. Wasn't extremely fast but it did focus.

[@LeeZavitz]

Cody Saunders I'll try it again. I guess what could have happened is that it works similar to how it does in video which isn't very good. All I noticed was that when someone walked towards me it stayed focused on the background instead of them.

[@airnamic8836]

[@lewisalexander7075]

How would you say the eye detection compares to the X-T2?

[@LeeZavitz]

I would say its pretty equal until you get into low light. The GH5 seems to have a smoother animation detection box. It seems like it has a higher refresh rate as to tracking the eyes than the XT2 but I dont know if that really makes it more accurate when it comes to focus. I when I get some time I'll do a better comparison between them.

[@lewisalexander7075]

Awesome, thank you!

[@jangarcia1338]

For me the problem with Fuji is the lack of ibis. They have awesome primes without stabilization.

[@JonClark125]

Hey man, great work on your videos. You mentioned the GH5 is your primary camera for video and XT-2 for photos, on a scale of 1-10 (1=marginally better and 10=supremely better) how much better is the GH5 for video?

[@LeeZavitz]

Depends on what you do. But for me I would say a 9 and XT2 is a 7. The GH5 higher internal bitrates, 4k 60fps, 10bit internal 4k and UHD, 4k 60fps 10bit out, 1080p 180fps, better vector scopes, zebras, colour waveforms, amazing IBIS, articulating screen, unlimited record time, better focus peaking. The list goes on. But if you dont really do professional video and just want good 4k then the XT2 is really good! I've just been waiting to get a camera like the GH5 for the last 4 years. Because up until now the only camera that could really do all that was something that costs $40k

[@JonClark125]

Thanks man!

[@cactustweeter2890]

Using the same scale, how much better is the X-T2 better at photos than the GH5.

[@LeeZavitz]

XT2 is 11 . GH5 is 7 lol!

[@cactustweeter2890]

I've already invested in the Canon ecosystem. I will probably stay there until Fujifilm releases the X-T3 with touchscreen and 4K 60fps, and I will jump ship to Fujifilm.

[@BYCWELL]

Color not like the XT right?

[@LeeZavitz]

No camera is.

[@BYCWELL]

[@MrGavinheng]

Sure Thanks!

[@TheBluemxn651]

How bad was the vignetting in photo modes at 18mm?

[@LeeZavitz]

With the sigma 18-35? None that I notice. With the ND filter I use you can sometimes see a little if I have the ND on really strong.

[@TheBluemxn651]

Thanks, buying the gh5 this week debating on getting the sigma 18-35 with speedbooster , your pics came out great and video was really informative ! Thanks

[@sleepless1978]

I realise this is the most embarrassing question ever, but I'm a complete beginner so bear with me - how do you shoot photos on the GH5 and have them save as JPEGs? Mine keep saving as 2 second long 6K mp4's!?!?! I'm a 99% video 1% photo and brand new to DSLM (audio background)

[@LeeZavitz]

sleepless1978 make sure the camera isn’t in video mode (top right dial) and also don’t press the record button. Use the shutter button. There is also a dial on the top left. Make sure it’s in single shooting.

[@KwasnikPictures]

That will be awesome, definitely looking forward to those! I already have the GH4 and planning to get the GH5, so really no point to get something else just for photos, where most of my work is video. I do have one question, about lenses for the GH5, what would you say the most versatile lens is / or your favorite so far? I already have the 12-35, but was looking for more zoom range, in the 12-60... but I've heard that the electronic focusing system isn't that accurate, and it is quiet a dark lens. Any lenses you would recommend?

[@LeeZavitz]

I have no experience with any M4/3 lenses really. I've used the pancake 14mm f2.5 and now this 42.5mm. I'm not the guy to ask. Sorry.

[@manolinvalen]

Zed ProMedia I have the same hunting problems in my lumix 42.5 mm 1.7 on my Olympus body in low light conditions. I found my Olympus 25 mm 1.8 and kit lenses more accurate in focussing. Good video!

[@systemedmultimedia6526]

@Zed ProMedia: Yeah. I've been struggling a lot about this (trying to find videos about GH5 photography done properly with tutorials). I even tryed to do some myself (photography) but with poor results, sadly.

[@Marticulate]

I shoot 90% MFT for pro stills. Use the right lenses and techniques and you'll be pleasantly rewarded.

[@mikes_perspective6580]

Marticulate do u use any of these lenses shown on the video? And wat do u prefer for stills and video?

[@Marticulate]

Hi Michael. Olympus 25mm f1.8 and Panasonic 42.5 f1.7 for portraits/product. Panasonic 7-14mm for architecture/interiors. Sigma 18-35mm with Metabones adapter and Fujian 35mm f1.7 CCTV lens with adapter for video. Panasonic 14-140mm for street/travel/walkaround. All this and a GH5 (with the exception of the Sigma lens) fits in a camera shoulder bag along with batteries, radio triggers, cleaners, cards, etc. No more aching wrists or neck and shoulder pain from the old systems. Especially with the articulating touch screen allowing extreme and interesting angles.

[@mikes_perspective6580]

thanks wen I got my gh5 I ordered it wit the 42.5 1.7 awesome lens for the money I also find it useful in some situations in video for close up shots. I'm waiting on a shipment for my sigma 18-35 1.8 wit the metabones for canon ef ..glad you mentioned those in your message and to know that's what I'm working with right now. I love my gh5 its my first Panasonic camera ever. accessories are a bit pricey mainly for me barely coming into photography and videography lol but its gonna pay off also gonna star uploading some of my work here. thanks for the info .

[@Marticulate]

Happy to be of assistance. Just learn your camera and current lenses really well before spending money on extras. Good luck.

[@mikes_perspective6580]

Marticulate do u know how well the sigma 85mm f1.4 will be for my gh5 for stills? I'm assuming great but I can't find any reviews with both together. And I'm really considering that one for stills. I need help tho from someone who shoots m43 stills

[@Eivindvond]

Man! I am one of those 10% that are gonna use it for photography and man! I am sold! I just need to find a zoom lens 70-200mm f2.8.. or something in that street

[@57blondstrat]

Gh5 looks good until you compare it side by side with the other camera systems, it has more contrast in the DR and gives the skin a slightly harsher shadows. Also the skin colors are not as smooth and have a green cast that need you to set the WB constantly but that just come with the m3/4 sensors.

[@BrainDesmo]

Lumix-G X 35-100mm f2.8 Power OIS.

[@grcicbranko]

Does Fuji X-t2 produces much better stills than GH5?

[@LeeZavitz]

Branko Grcic imo yes far better. But I’m also not a fan of m4/3 sensor output. Doesn’t mean you can’t good images with the gh5 it’s still awesome. I just prefer the look of Fuji

Dunno about DSLR having better AF in low light. The D600 won't focus in a dim light whereas the GH4 will focus outside at night so dark you cannot see to manually focus a DSLR.

Jeff Slade the d600 is old I'm thinking of newer DSLRs like the d500.

I don't have a D500. The D600 is still a top-end full frame camera though. The D500 has higher ISO but, big but, like most camera the telephone number ISO look like they came out of a salt grinder. At 25600 a good shot on the GH4 looks like it was printed on grainy paper, you don't get the salt and pepper. But the problem is AF, the D600 won't AF if there's not enough light. You've probably tried to use an OVF at night, if you can't see it, you cant focus. The GH4 is rather good at night photography (tripod, lowish ISO, long exposure), it will focus on stuff I can't even see (ok the EVF turns it into night-vision). An example was setting up for a bit of astrophotography probably with the 100-300 it accidentally did a AF focus lock on Jupiter (one uses MF for astro). Another example is shooting across a sea loch at night with the 49-Area, it will switch to Pinpoint to pick out a light on a jetty and lock on that.

WIsh I could afford the metabones, but looks like I'll be going the cheaper route from amazon

Well done video..

Always try to get the correct exposure on the subject in the image. I noticed that you had to adjust the lighting quite a bit, but you would have gotten a cleaner image if you did it in camera. Just a heads up :)

Photos look good but a bit dark and not too lively. So much more you can do with editing

Haha, give it a thumbs down twice!
