Awsome.. as I bought a GH5 just 6 months ago Im into any YT video like this one, but your content and message are excellent … I dont use the settings you suggest but I will give them a try, many thanks
I am a gh5 owner and i love my camera but i purchased a gh7 recently as well. Gh7 is better in almost any way. This means i dont use my gh5 anymore even tough i still love it and quality is still great. If you are on a budged gh5 is atill good but if you can, get gh7 .the improved dynamic range alone is worth it, not to mention the autofocus
sorry for the random question i followed your guide a bit, for indoor settings with pretty good lighting. what do you recommend for record pickleball matches and me wanting to get the best quality/ also being able to capture everyone in the image. thank you!
Great tips. My footage lags a lot when tranferred to Capcut. Witj Clipchamp, I have to import the video with some kind of files. I just some explanation 🙏
I had a gx80 that I sold back in 2019, which also had a thumb grip. I just bought a new with only seventeen clicks yes seveneteen. including 12-32mm for 120 dollars .My question is where did you get your thumb grip from
Hi alex, Thanks for your interesting video. I learned a lot from it. But I have a question if i may: After ordering and returning a GX9 at mpb with a very sturdy( hard to move) dedicated exposure compensation dial, i bought , again at mpb the gx80/85. Now i'm a little worried about the freely moving sensor. Let me explain: when i turn off the camera and remove the lens i can see the sensor move freely and bouncing agains the side of the frame around the sensor. Is this normal? If it isn't i'll have to return it once more! Thanks for your advice. Have a nice day. Kind regards! Herman
@hermanverbaeten5894 hi Herman. Yes, that's completely normal. The censor on mft cameras that have ibis bounce around inside the camer body when switched off. It's the same on my Lumix GH5 and GH5mk2 and I've had them for years now! :) So, no need to return anything.
I discovered that the videos played back fine on the camera turns out the issue was with my pc and VLC media player, tried Cnx player they worked fine and VLC on my laptop they play fine on there. Have uninstalled VLC and Re-installed the latest version on my pc and the files all play fine now. (Didn't realise i was logged into my other channel when i replied to your comment on my phone). I am happy the camera is not faulty as i like it as it feels quite heavy and solid, touch screen menus are easy to use and i like the idea of the magnetic mount. The fittings are compatible with my old Crosstour camera which is also handy.
Just bought one of these cameras and anything above 1080p 60fps does not work, the footage is either frozen or the screen is white. I am using a Sandisk Extreme 128GB A2 U3 V30 SD card Any ideas on what could be causing this ?

My main 3 lenses are the Olympus 25 and 45 1.2 primes and the Panasonic 15mm 1.7 prime. The Olympus lenses are quite huge for MFT but it's ok for me, as I like the shallow depth of field and low light possibilities. I wish I had not bought the Olympus 7-14 2.8. as it's just big and heavy and the kind of lens that never gets used much. I wish I had bought a laowa wide angle as the small size would have ment i would bring it instead of the huge Olympus that just sits on the shelf most of the time .
Interesting for me to read your thoughts. Thank you for sharing :) I agree that the main advantage of MFT is to save space and weight when it comes to lenses specifically. So yes, agree with you regarding the 7 - 14 and the Laowa.
Hi Alex. It is August 2024 and as a counterpoint to my beloved...Nikon D700 (who my other beloved isn't jealous of in the slightest, ha,ha,ha), I recently got the GX85 (an import from the states that makes it sound fancy like imported vinyl). Two different systems, but each are wonderful for their own reasons. I had read about it previously on the channel of the late, David Thorpe. My expectations, that were already high, were easily exceeded. I am happy to be shooting with it. Enjoy the rest of your week.
Thank you for stopping by and checking out the video! Thanks for the comment - really appreciate it. Enjoy your new camera and happy shooting! I hope it provides you with a lot of new inspiration ;) have an amazing day too :)
Regarding your processing power question. I think it has something to do with the video compression style being HEVC OR H.264 depending on your video editing software. Newer editing software does better on HEVC but older software does better on H.264. I am NOT a expert but trying to figure this out as well!
Don't forget focus stacking, a very useful feature they never brought back to the GH6 and GH7. I'll never forgive Panasonic for castrating their followup cameras so much.
There are a few different types actually. Have a look at "Godox" RU-vid channel. They have many great tutorials on the topic of umbrellas, lights and reflectors and what each one can do. As far as umbrellas go: there are reflective umbrellas and plain white umbrellas. Each are a bit different with how much "spill" of light you will have.
Honestly, better music and not saying those cheesy sentences that have been said a billion times on RU-vid in every „cinematic tutorial“ video would’ve made these shots actually feel cinematic. I was waiting for the cinematic shots for 90% of the video until I realised that you aren’t showing yourself travelling there with standard RU-vid blog shots, you’re actually showing the cinematic shots. Music and sound is just as important if not more important than the video itself. This is the perfect example of why that’s the case. Everything in the film is selling an idea and this one is selling „I’m a cheesy RU-vid video“ vibes to me. These aren’t bad shots but the RU-vid library hacksmithesque/kingofrandom like rock music and dialog is completely changing the message behind it.
P.S. Did you adjust the shutter speed range or just leave it at the default (1/60 - 1/8000)? Also, I just noticed your question at the end about processing power. 4K footage is gonna be more power hungry when doing editing, but I did hear that the codecs matter. I think by default this camera is set to HVEC, which I've heard needs a really beefy PC when editing. I changed mine to H.264. That's all I can think of at the moment.
Hey, thanks for the comment! I actually leave the shutter at default 1/60 - 1/8000 so I don't fiddle with that. How do you change it from HVEC to H.264???
@@justalexhimself Thanks! Yeah, I decided to just leave my shutter at the default, too. As for H.264, under settings, go down until you see 'video compression'. If you click there, you can switch between HEVC and H.264. Hope that helps!
the higher the FPS the more frames you have captured every second. Standard fps is: 24 or 25 (depends if you're in europe or usa) or sometimes it's 30 fps. With more frames, you can slow down the footage more. So 60fps you can slow down the footage x2, 120fps you can slow down x4 etc. But a higher frame rate also requires MORE light and more storage space on memory cards (as well as high speed memory cards).
Also, 24 or 25 fps is more like “traditional cinematography” that gives you more natural motion blur, which is acceptable well by a human eye. And it’s used for filmmaking. The higher fps is the more detailed the picture will be when camera moves, but that might look quite unnatural.
Hi Tamara have been watching your videos good content I have a question for you I have the Osmo action4 and have the I steady pro4gimbal I can’t pair it with camera so I cantuse stills or video any ideas thanks
Registered both my osmo action 4 and action 2 on both my samsung fold and samsung galaxy tab s8 with no issues. I can pair both cameras to either device anytime with no issues.
In my collection 0f cameras and lens, i have six micro 4/3 bodies Panasonic G9 and G95 Olympus OMD1 MK2 and MKIII, EM5 MK III and EM10 MK IIII. If I had to chose one lens and frankly i never could, i would pick Olympus 12-40 f2.8. Its sharp wide open and as an everyday lens is great, as for prime i have a bunch of Panasonic and Olympus lens and they all work great. Even though 4/3 lens are smaller than most other glass good ones are not cheap, you can buy on the used market and i have purchased many lens for my different cameras from Adorama and B&H photo both in New York city but there's other stores depending on where you live.
I no longer have any native MFT glass. And I don't have a MFT body (except for a BMPCC4K). I made a move to Fuji, then to Panasonic FF. I kept one MFT lens through it all -- the Oly 45 f1.8. Tells you all you need to know about that lens. I got silver too from eBay, and I'd much rather have black lol. Looking for a compact travel body has led me right back to MFT, so I'll be reacquiring a lot of these lenses.
Would u buy one now for about 500€? I have another cameras like Sony A7iii and Fuji XT30 but i always loved Lumix due to its stabilization. I want to learn more about video and i think this could be a very good camera for that. Nowadays only do photos with my gear...
I don't know enough about the Sony A7iii or the Fuji, so I can't make an un-biased comment.... for me: just the MFT lenses are much smaller and more compact which is what I want personally. But your requirements might be different :)
Hey Alex, great video, great channel. Thank you so much😀😀😀 I‘m just a beginner shooting with Vintage Glasses. Do you know the Nikon 50mm f 1.3 AI-S? Cheers, Mathias
I was a bit cautious about it, but I've got this Android phone and I just went ahead and downloaded Action 4 straight from the DJI website. It went quite smoothly, so hope you've figured it out for your phone as well
Very nice and interesting video! Thanks! I currently have 3 photo lenses with my Gx80. The 12-32mm, a 25mm f1.7 and the 35-100mm. The first and third are kit lenses but are pretty incredible and often underestimated! I find that I can cover any situation with these three lenses.
