THE PROBLEM with GH6 and why I didn’t review it

UPDATE: Firmware 2.2 did mitigate the streaking, but did not remove it. You can still see it
PLEASE WATCH IN 4K. The reason why I didn’t review the camera… As I was testing the GH6 prior to release, I noticed something I didn’t like… Light Streaking! Panasonic tried to fix it, but the BAD NEWS is the problem persisted. The camera was released to the public with this bug that, to me, it eclipsed all the awesomeness of the camera. I HOPE Panasonic will fix it soon, stay tuned for updates.
Shoutout to ‪@geraldundone‬ and ‪@CVPTV‬ for being super honest and pointing this issue up.

Thanks so much for bringing this up! I immediately tested my Canon R5 C after watching this, and indeed found that it has the same problem. I brought the camera to a Canon service centre nearby and the technician found that their sample unit also behave the same. She said she would report this issue to Canon HQ, but in the meantime there's nothing she can do to help. I really do hope Canon can somehow mitigate this issue because the R5 C really is not cheap.

GH6 Owner here: great video, I like how you showcased the problem and explained why it happens, plus showing it on other brands and models, personally I haven't seen that issue in my footage, and I've shot in high DR situations, I was aware of this "issue" before buying my camera but upon getting it and using it In several occasions, I don't feel like it is a big deal to be honest, a lot of cameras with a CMOS sensor have this, it is more pronounce on some but it isn't something that huge IMO, again I can't speak for everyone but as far as my GH6 and my footage, I've haven't experienced it, this might show up in extreme situations, but it hasn't for me. (not defending the camera or anything, it's just my honest opinion)

Absolutely facinating. I knew about this problem when I was ar NAB. I took my GH6 out to the Vegas strip for 3 nights shooting everything at 2000 ISO VLog. I shot a couple hundred clips all exposed hard to the right but keeping higlights just a hair under cliping. After pixel peeping those couple hundred clips, I found only one single clip that streaked. It was the white Mirage building in the night sky. Even stranger....of the 10 similar shots framed in a similar manner, 9 of them did not streak. It was only one exact angle and exact exposure that triggered it. All the other Vegas strip street shots were prefectly fine. It's strange how random it is for me. Everything I shot was with in-camera noise reduction pulled back to "0"

As i demonstrated, it all depends on the camera settings and the situation you are shooting in. Keep in mind the more lights you have the more streaks will overlap each other and you might end up having a fully lifted image rather than one light streak because it’s just one light source. In other words, if you just put a vertical light tube along the side of your full image, you will not see the streak simply because the streak is literally covering the full image. Hope that makes sense

@@THEDPJOURNEY I shot about 10 files on the street with the White Mirage building in front of the night sky. It’s weird…one specific angle caused perfect streaking. The next file was just me on the same shot, just 20 feel moved over. That same building, same exposure and same night sky had zero artifacts. Moving down the street several more times and that streaking was still gone. I was expecting to see the exact same problem on each shot because each one was only “slightly” different from each other. But no…only one had the problem. And that one that had it?…had it strongly. It’s so arbitrary. I was expecting to see it in many many shots but no,…it’s like rolling a dice. It just happens out of the blue as a matter of chance? Please keep talking about this. I will do further testing myself on this. Spectacular video that you made on this.

Woah,....I'm a bit obsessed with this issue. I just took out my Sony FX6 and shot some SLog-3 and I got a very similar blooming/streaking using an iPad in a dark room. I have the FX6 set with noise reduction set to "low" and it has the SAME GH6 horizontal banding lines. It's VERY interesting. Not only is the FX6 showing grey banding but the noise itself "runs" and dances sideways with the bands. I swear that I have never noticed this before but not that I'm hunting for it, it's showing up. It's kinda crazy. Can any other FX6 owners test this with a "square" light source like an iPad? *Edit - Yup on my second test, I can absolutely confirm the Sony FX6 is doing this too. It seems to be a certain "ratio" between the light vs. shadow. There seems to be a bell-curve "problem" peak point. When closing and opening the aperture, as the blooming increases, the banding will get stronger. It "peaks" at a certain bight to dark ratio and then "fades" as the light gets more intense. Moving the aperture back again will bring the banding back until it peaks and then recedes again. When it peaks, it's pretty strong. Absolutely fascinating...wow. The Sony FX6 has this too!

@cameramaker
@cameramaker Жыл бұрын
The issue is not caused the way you have explained it. So let me provide a better one - since I do design cameras. Each sensor has a "optically black" area either on left or both sides of the active picture, shielded from capturing light. As all the pixels of one line are converted simultaneously, next the average of those shielded pixels is subtracted from the active area data. This is called Black Level Correction (BLC) - restoring the black to a digital zero, on each line of the picture individually. The problem occurs when the shielded pixels are locally affected - either by overflowing charge into them from a highlight area, or if a light reflected on specific angle gets under the shield and onto those pixels. Both of this are specific to the design and build of the particular sensor itself. So this then results in artefacts that look like bands, but really its just a grouped FPN issue, as every line may have a different imprecision in black-level correction. PS: I do not know what the DRBOOST is about on technical level.. hate the marketing words without deep explanation. So no idea how that comes into the picture.

Hey thanks for this. I am sure it drove down the price of the gh6, which I picked up for 1500 dollars new a few months ago. The 5.7k pro res hq images are terrific. I updated the firmware to 2.1 and have really tried to create your scenarios for streaking. I thought I saw one sort of streak and moved the camera about three inches to the right and it was gone. Then I changed the iso and it was gone. I have shot maybe...200 hours on the gh6...in every lighting condition I can conjure up and--no streaking. I bought the camera thinking this might be a workaround, but now realize it is a non issue, at least for me, and the best friend to those of us who seek maximum image quality at the lowest price possible. I really like the images it produces and look forward to picking it up and shooting every day. I am a former journalist who does not like bs or corporate pitch people, so...my views. I really like your videos. Keep up the good work.

Hey Sherif, Great video my guy. One question though because I am not very technical does the Bayer array have anything to do with this or is it just a design flaw of all CMOS sensors even if we strip away the color filter?
@THEDPJOURNEY
@THEDPJOURNEY 2 жыл бұрын
All I know is that it's the CMOS sensor design hat creates those horizontal streaks, bayer is in all CMOS anyway, some have a slightly different pattern than others, but don't think it affects it, CCD sensors create vertical ones BTW.

@@THEDPJOURNEY I was more wondering Bayer vs xtrans but I actually got my answer when I was recording a test shot with my xt-3 where I put a white background on my PC and shot it in a dark room and there was streaking. But I came to the conclusion that there are different types of streaking. There's the light streaking where the streak darkens the area it affects and there's the streak that lightens the area it affects and one is clearly better looking than the other. A streak that comes from a light source that lightens the surrounding could look like an anamorphic lens flare, an unwanted one of course but it is much better than a streak that darkens the area surrounding it which makes no sense from any way you look at it.

I've filmed with bright windows as the only light source in a completely unlit room, exteriors, interiors, etc and never noticed this issue. I wonder if it was a limited run of early cameras or a bad batch of sensors? EDIT** I've also been shooting in ISO 400 (Native) or with DRB at ISO 2000 (Native when using VLOG)

Since you are so in tune, why not the underestimated GH5 Mark II… Even if you were to go with the GH6, or any other camera, your workflow would be affected. The GH5II, does have a newer processor (which means firmware updatable), and IQ is shaper, as well as better in lower light. Plus the AF is better too, usable, similar to the S5, but with a smaller sensor it probably is even more effective. Most importantly, the GH5II is cost effective, and you would not need to change much if anything at all related to your process… …

I guess you're lucky none of the scenes you shot expressed that streaking, I assume they're all morning outdoor shots or just high key shots with no lights shining directly into the sensor. But that does not mean it's not there, it's jut you didn't shoot in the settings and that induce it the most. Panasonic did replicate it in all their cameras and they're confirming it's there, no denial there. So your camera has it and one day you'll be able to see it when shooting in similar kind of high DR scene like the one i featured here

@@THEDPJOURNEY So I was finally able to replicate this today. I did find it to be very lens dependent though. Using a vintage OM lens on a speed booster it was almost impossible to get it - DR boost had to be on, and exposure set for the light outside the window, while the inside was quite dark. The native MFT lenses I tried were the most apparent (25 f1.7, and a 12-50mm f3.5) while the two lenses on the metabones were much more difficult to produce it, but also varied a bit (1980's OM 24 f2.8, and a Tokina 20-35 f2.8). I almost always use the metabones adapted glass, so I'm guessing this is why it's taken so long to see this. Also, I don't know that I'd ever shot inside while exposing for what's out the window - and this time was just testing out lens.

Conclusion: This is not a problem if you use normal color shots. Gh6 problem is a little disappointing but it's Only visible when you have very bright next to very dark high contrast: (i.e. black and white is the worst example of this), and it is worse if you boost contrast and luts. (all Cmos cameras have a little of this). None of the GH6 images I've seen with normal chroma range shows this problem. In this regard the Gh5. Gh5s and Gh5/2 and Pana's Full frames are still highly usable. And so is the GH6 if you don't use luts and high contrast with as shown here. I suggest another test with full color, (with and without luts) will demonstrate a good outcome The three gentlemen referred to in this clip are all very good in this game , including Gerald ; -)

Thanks so much for diving into this issue. I saw it on Gerald's review, but wasn't sure how much emphasis to place on it. I was planning on getting the GH6, not with that streaking issue though. I think a BM camera is going to be a better fit, though it will be a shame to loose the hybrid flexibility. Please do the other videos, for a company that has built such a reputation around firmware uplifts you really have to hope this gets addressed at some point. Even if you put a caveat at the start directing people to this video. A few questions though. This streaking is caused by the pixel full well capacity being exceeded? Why does it streak horizontally, but not vertically? Also, if the issue is being caused by excess charge to a pixel(s), then how do they go about fixing this in firmware if the pixels physical capacity (pre ADC or internal processing) is being exceeded?

I'm on the latest firmware update on my GH6 cameras. I mainly shoot weddings and half the time the getting ready is in a dark hotel room with outdoor light coming through the windows. I absolutely hate the challenges of having to shoot different for a lot of those scenarios because the streaking comes flying in at full effect with dark rooms and the subject right up against a super bright window. Very frustrating.

1 year later, I still love my GH6 and that streaking has happened only in very specific extreme situations when anyways the image would have been crap. So no big issue as this video attempts to make it. This camera is awesome and I still love to use it everyday.

Really happy the streaking is not causing you any issues. It’s a great camera after all, no doubt about it, but me personally, I’d never use it on a commercial set, can’t risk that streaking ruining the client’s shots

​@@THEDPJOURNEY It wouldn't because there is probably zero chance you experience it. I think the best situation to test the issue was the total eclipse we had last week. Zero problem. Not seen one sign of it. That's because anyone who can expose well a shot should never run into this very niche issue. I find it a little over the top to talk about "the streaking issue". I've tested mine extensively ever since I've had the camera, in october 2022 and managed to see it once when I was at 25 600 ISO and pushed the exposure to its maximum capacity filming a full moon. Not exactly something I would do if I was filming for a client!

I mean, Panasonic themselves acknowledged this was a problem, and they tried to fix it in many firmware updates till they told me it will never be fully fixed. Calling it an “issue” or a “problem” is quoting the makers of the camera itself, not just my assessment. So again, I’m glad this issue is not affecting your workflow, for me, I’m just waiting for the GH7 All the best

This reminds me of backlit LED/LCD TV's. Is that what is going on here? Is each pixel being globally illuminated and therefore we are seeing an averaging of the luminance levels, line by line?

so what are the ISOs I can shoot with again? Im confused, and sad. I found streaks in night shots, thought it could be from some types of lights...but then I shot daytime outdoors today, and it's all streaked. Iso 250 onwards....

It does seem very odd how other reviewers, even the very good ones did not cover this in depth..... I do think it would have been better to do a review at the time and cover the good and the bad. That's what reviews are meant to be for. They will also help cement your reputation as a truly trusted channel. Love the channel by the way.

I did check with some of them actually. Some responses were like “we didn’t have enough time to test to discover it” even though it took literally 30 sec to immediately see it. Other saw it but chose not to talk about it to stay cool with the camera brand. Keep in mind many rely on the commission they get when you use their links, so it’s uncommon to find someone warn you about a camera Thank God I have a full time DP job that pays my bills so I only care about sharing the truth, not pleasing corporations or worrying about commissions

Thank you!!! Since I shoot real estate, I basically ONLY shoot in high contrast situations. I haven't noticed this so much on my S5 and S1 cameras, but then again, ia m normally shooting closer to ISO 640 in high-contrast situations on those bodies.

The S1, S5 and S1H us the Sony IMX410 variant sensor. This is a sister chip to the one in the Sony XDCAM FX9. This sensor is truely superb in literally every way. The GH6 is not using the new Sony IMX472 MFT sensor. Instead, Lumix has gone off on their own with their own design and their own non-Sony fab. So yeah,...the GH6 sensor will not have any of the dozen or so big Sony architecture patents.

Panasonic HQ in Japan replicated the problem and as mentioned they do acknowledge its presence in all their cameras, so the problem is there no doubt about it. You were just lucky that you didn't shoot using the settings or scenes that makes it prominent.

@@THEDPJOURNEY I know, this issue is even described in the quick guide out of the box! They say it's a character of the sensor. If you are going to shoot towards a window, you turn on dynamic range boost anyways. Besides, I am a cave photographer and filmmaker. When a headlight shines towards you in the cave, the scene contrast is going to blow any camera off and show any in-perfection in the lens. However, I didn't found the banding an issue. The issue I found (the real issue that nobody talked) is that the GH6 drives focus motor more forcefully than the GH5, thus creating lots of noises that make the in-camera mic unusable.

This problem is pronounced in several camera's...but the Panasonic M43 GH6 is so bad the video is labeled "THE PROBLEM with GH6 and why I didn’t review it" regardless of the stunning video quality and feature set. A little FF bias from DP Journey?

Wow, that's some show stopper stuff right there. At times I considered both the Pocket Pro and the GH6 but decided not to due to poor AF performance from both. But this streaking thing, I didn't even know that happens and I've been shooting for well over ten years at this point. I've never noticed that with any of the Canon cameras I've used, some as older than a decade at this point.
