Special 4K and 6K Photo modes may be one of the most under-appreciated features on recent cameras. After all, with today's models boasting impressive performance and high frame rates, why would you need them? In this week's episode, Chris and Jordan take a closer look at these modes and explain why - and when - you'll be glad to have them on your camera.

We love you too!

Hi! A tiny little detail that wasn't mentioned is that the bitrate for the h264 video in 4K photo mode is much higher than regular videos. I think it is something like 100Mbps on my LX100. So compression artefacts should be reduced. Keep up the good work.

@AsphaltPlanet1 6 лет назад

Can you do a video of how to reattach a mechanical shutter that was prematurely removed with a screwdriver? Thanks.

@thatjordandrake 6 лет назад

It's actually really, really difficult. Video to follow if I ever figure it out...

@mattpiercey9062 6 лет назад

Thank you so much! I've constantly told myself I'd look more into how to use the 6K photo mode on my GH5. Definitely appreciate you two bringing the info to me instead of having to search it haha. I wont rely on that mode to get the best picture all the time, but I'm excited to give it another chance testing it out soon.

@itsryanwilkes 6 лет назад

Awesome video guys. I love this feature on my G9 and GH5. I dont use it often, but for high speed action and really needing to catch a specific moment, it's fantastic! You better nail your exposure in camera though because of the jpeg issue you mentioned =)

@romiels 6 лет назад

These instructional and educational videos are great and I really appreciate watching them. Great work guys!

@raksh9 3 года назад

I never paid any attention to 4k photo until now, 2021, when I got a S5 with 6k photo. This seems usable, from a video and still standpoint. Thanks for this video, it was very helpful.

@steveeymann 6 лет назад

I really like the pre capture feature on my G9. I don’t use it often but a few times it has allowed me to get the shot I surely would have missed.

@SuperSwedes 6 лет назад

Very well explained! My favourite RU-vid channel!!

@3DEditor 6 лет назад

Thanks for this review. I purchased the G9 a month ago and really enjoying all of it's features. Huge upgrade from the Sony AX33 camcorder.

@davidwendelrobinson 5 лет назад

Watching this a little late, but this was very helpful. As always you do a great job explaining and make it fun. I've got the 4K on my FZ1000 but never really used it, but now I will. More importantly, I've had my eye on the G9 so have some knowledge for future use. Thanks again for a fun and helpful video.

@JoeS5263 5 лет назад

Excellent video explaining 4K and 6K and why they might be useful! Thanks!

@DetroitVideoDiaries 6 лет назад

@AgnostosGnostos 6 лет назад

The 18Mp photos of the 6K photos mode is really impressive. I doubt if the quality is really great but it should be fine with social networks.

@castielvargastv7931 4 года назад

quality is very good. i dont see a difference to normal photo mode

@naturvideography641 6 лет назад

Nice video, like always.

@KilianKunz 6 лет назад

Thanks for this Reminder... I had forgotten that - again. 😜

@riveraluciano 6 лет назад

While I have pulled frames from video, they were very specific frames that, given the shutter speed I was able to take advantage, but usually what happens is just that; the compression from the video format and the shutter speed is really something that can play against you, specially if you're working with DSLRs that don't have the features those lovely mirrorless have. Still, they're great additions which help that situation I found myself in sometimes, where you wish you could just do video and pull some stills from any situation.

@daycreek 6 лет назад

Thanks for the great video on this subject. I'd be curious to know what software you use with the 4k/6k video files to edit/extract images. The H.265 format has yet to be adopted by various editing software packages and makes it a rather tedious process. Also, I tried this with fast moving birds and got some really strange looking curved wings due to rolling shutter.

@amxmm 6 лет назад

Very good summary! One thing you didn't mention though: The relatively crappy AF in 4K/6K photo mode (even on the G9, not to speak of the lower models).

@Willy0851 6 лет назад

G85 has the same feature as the GH5...great explanation!

@PeterPrism 6 лет назад

@AleArzMusic 6 лет назад

Great video, but I cannot understand the montage language you used throughout the cuts 🤔

@ownvideofootage 6 лет назад

Thanks guys! I have used these as newe on my G9 and now I got some more... Chris, buy a new short

@danieljcox 6 лет назад

Chris, have you found software that easily lets you extract 6K Photo Mode stills? I can't find anything and thus once the 6K video has been copied to my Mylio library I have no way to get at the stills. Would love to see you add a workflow element to this video.

@WeinbergOfficial 6 лет назад

Hey Chris, I'm using A Panasonic GH4 and as you may know, it's capable of shooting 40 fps 16MP stills with the electronic shutter. What added benefit does 4K photo mode gives to me, from shooting just with the electronic shutter? Thanks, George.

@colhutchins 3 года назад

Hey guys, great video! With the technology in this area improving and the recent release of the panasonic S line, any chance of updating this clip? And you must have had a hard time not overexposing the bright white of Chris's legs? :-)

@KevinLin145 6 лет назад

@horizonoftheeast 6 лет назад

want a review of that canon eos 3 shown in the vid pls

@JustSimplyBrandon 6 лет назад

Can the G9’s High Resolution mode create 8K photos?

@marioplus321 6 лет назад

Now I get it. Btw not long ago but yesterday again, 1of my friends said: ' nothing is better than FF'. I doubt it.

@UCreations 6 лет назад

It depends. FF and 4k/6k have nothing to do with each other. If Canon and Nikon come up with their mirrorless fullframes, who knows by 2025 they put in a 4k photomode ;)

@phildoodler2199 6 лет назад

It's a fun mode mainly because it's jpeg. I use it for dropping objects into liquid and catching the unique splash.

@naufalpratama1516 3 года назад

Does this 4k photo mode records audio just like the regular video mode?

@castielvargastv7931 4 года назад

is 6k photo mode a panasonic only feature? do sony a7iii and canon eosr or nikin z6 have it.? if they dont i will by a panasonic s1

@rodrigo4379 6 лет назад

great video! i have a question, should i buy a canon 6d with 2 years of warranty for 640 euros?

@dangernba 6 лет назад

Since you have money for good L lenses, go ahead.

@Jerryhze0129 5 лет назад

can you save multiple photos off these 4k/6k "video" files?

@Bonjour-World 2 года назад

Thank thee :-)

@billchoi2000lsc 6 лет назад

It's H.265 or HEVC, not H.264. Therefore it better than normal video grab

@pauloancarvalho 6 лет назад

I use this feature a lot with my Panasonic G80. I just wish it had raw!

@shock_me 6 лет назад

I believe the 6K Photo is H.265

@thatjordandrake 6 лет назад

Correct! Totally missed that.

@AgnostosGnostos 6 лет назад

For me videos with fast shutter speed are looking better. However fast shutter speeds is good only with very good lighting. With poor lighting videos with fast shutter speeds elevate the ISO with consequences to the dynamic range, the quality of color and the image noise. The GH5 has a small micro 4/3 sensor and isn't as good with image noise as the Sony a7S II.

@SewTubular 6 лет назад

The GH5s 4K photo-mode produces better results than the GH5 when shooting photos at 30 fps in low-light. Team this with fast lenses like the Olympus f/1.2 lenses or the Voigtländer f/0.95 lenses and the results can be pretty good.

@sebastiaanvanwater 6 лет назад

Which lens was used to record this video?

@thatjordandrake 6 лет назад

The fabulous Sigma 18-35mm F1.8

@FotoAsil 6 лет назад

iyi miş

@domes_fotoblicke 6 лет назад

ideal when you wanne shoot lightningstorms ;)

@efimovv 5 лет назад

Cheaper alternative to spesia lightning triggers. And with GX9 I realize I can't use one because it lack external shutter jack...

@tobiasmoeckel 6 лет назад

It really is a cool feature to play with, but the fact that you can only extract jpegs renders the 4K/6K photo mode useless for me. The workflow is elegant indeed and I like that Panasonic offers such features, however I would only use it in very extreme situations where each split second matters, e.g. right when the baseball bat hits the ball.

@lophoto-net 6 лет назад

Impressive and for some occasions, very useful technology. However, I don’t shoot that often with my G9 on 4K or 6K because I didn’t found a proper way to play with those files on my laptop in Lightroom... Any help from some of you guys?

@HamiltonSRink 6 лет назад

Use the included Photo fun Studio software that comes with the camera. Find the really nice photo from the video file. Then save it and reopen it in the photo software of your choice. You can also save the required jpg from the video file in camera at any time.

@lophoto-net 6 лет назад

Hamilton S. Rink Thank you for your answer. However, it looks like Photfunstudio is for Windows only (I’m using a Mac). :-(

@HamiltonSRink 6 лет назад

I guess you are left with the in camera method.

@victorvannatter312 3 года назад

I'm still not sure I understand this. If the sd card can handle 4k60 video why can't it take continuous pictures. Why is there an fps burst mode limit on mirror less cameras with no mirror limitations? With an electronic shutter isn't video and photos the same? Is video lower quality than a still picture?

@NathanKatash 5 лет назад

what about shutter count? in this mode the camera shouting a lot of pictures so the camera will die relay fast or im wrong?

@dpreview 5 лет назад

The 4K/6K photo modes don't use your mechanical shutter, so your shutter count will not be affected.

@guelinator 6 лет назад

Aren't the 6K Photo Mode photos 10-Bit HEVC ? so technically they are superior to regular jpg files.

@sdhute 3 года назад

4k/6k perhaps a good option for street photography when fishing for the perfect composition

@Raoh1st 3 года назад

Does it record sound? No I suppose but this is confusing

@NicoManansala 5 лет назад

is this will affect the shutter count of camera? panasonic S1 has 400k shutter life.

@dpreview 5 лет назад

No effect on the shutter count. The exposure is completely electronic using this mode.

@NicoManansala 5 лет назад

@@dpreview now this is great..im planning to use on 4:3 ratio for anamorphic shoot. is this fine?

@Jasongreen357 5 лет назад

I am a little confused, I have been doing a little video shooting but I am a beginner at that so maybe I am missing something. My dslr Raw files have 14 stops of dynamic range in the file and I then compress it down to output in a jpeg image. When I look at my video footage it seems it is already compressed and there is way less data to play with. The other thing I notice is even my old D700 is 14bit and your super awsome GH5 is only 10. That is a massive difference.

@RobJorg 6 лет назад

`4k and 8k doesnt make sense, no phone supports it and right now you cant stream it to your phone, (bandwith). right now i notice a shift from pc to mobile devices for watching video's. reason why larger youtube channels dont bother with 4k or higher. its going to take a while before it does.

@SewTubular 6 лет назад

If you want fast turn around, 4K production requires a larger crew to shoot and edit. Some of the bigger RU-vid channels like Linus Tech Tips produce almost everything they do in 4K, and they shoot with RED 8K cameras. iPhonedo is another popular RU-vid channel that has started to produce more 4K videos, and I think this trend is going to expand as more consumer cameras gain 4K capability. 4K is definitely NOT going away. 8K is premature right now as very few cameras can shoot 8K video and almost no 8K TV sets are on the market, but I can see 8K becoming the norm for new TV sets within the next 5 years. ( it will happen the same way 4K has became the norm for new TV sets you buy now )

@JoshuaKoerner 6 лет назад

Rob Jorg I shoot almost entirely in 4K and deliver (to my YT channel) almost entirely in 4K. I’m a one man operation with a small channel, and it’s worth it to me because I want the resolution and my cameras have the ability. Just my perspective

@s87343jim 6 лет назад

Dislike the video. You guys should have put the warning earlier. Already pull the mechanical shutter out from the camera

@thatjordandrake 6 лет назад

As soon as I figure out how to put the shutter back in my camera, I'll send detailed notes...

@horizonoftheeast 6 лет назад

ahahahahaha

@Ranblv 6 лет назад

If your only object is getting a good picture then fine. but shooting video and searching frames for a perfect shot is like spray and pray. it does not feel like photography to me personally. it's like buying an app that does it all for you.

@SewTubular 6 лет назад

Use the best tool for the job. Sometimes 30 fps or 60 fps capture will produce the best result.

@DaCarnival 6 лет назад

I believe quite a few higher level photographers are using RED cinema cameras for this purpose - 35mp RAW images at 60 frames per second, continuous shooting. Then there is an established, elegant (and not overly computer-intensive) way of extracting/exporting frames. The only limitations I can think of is that the RAW is not quiiiite as robust as Raw photo formats, and I don't know how fast a shutter speed you can chose (though I know it's more than a few thousands-of-a-second, so rarely a practical problem). And yeah, the camera is pretty big (though hand-holdable, absolutely).

@SewTubular 6 лет назад

There's a bit of a price jump going from a GH5 or GH5s to a RED 8K cine camera : $2,500 versus $50,000+

@DaCarnival 6 лет назад

Very true. I'm just saying that this general technique is also used by working professionals, and not restricted to the new 4K/6K photo modes.

@mischievouspranksters7308 2 года назад

Talk too damn much

@firecloud77 5 лет назад

0:40 Um, 4K is *TWO TIMES* the resolution of 1080p, not four times the resolution.

@JoshuaKoerner 6 лет назад

Remind me why you only publish one video a week-especially if they’re going to be functionally filler content like this?

@QuickQuips 6 лет назад

Joshua Koerner it's a well made tutorial on a hard to understand by reading but easier to show through video. It's worth it. Plus they're uploading more often than in their camerastore days.

@3DEditor 6 лет назад

Joshua Koerner It takes a while to edit everything. Do you edit videos? There's a lot of clips to go through to match what he's saying.

@thatjordandrake 6 лет назад

Shorter episode this week as we've got a few big episodes coming up next. Don't worry, you'll get plenty of content soon with Photokina coming up.

@JoshuaKoerner 6 лет назад

I do actually, I'm commenting from my own youtube channel lol

@JoshuaKoerner 6 лет назад

It is a very good tutorial- I have nothing against the tutorial whatsoever. I think that all the content that has come out has been really solid. I just feel that there's a funny double standard that we expect dpreview the website to update several times a week, even several times a day, but we don't expect dpreview tv, the youtube channel, to upload several times a week. I would have expected the sigma 105 f/1.4 review, maybe the 14 f/1.8, and perhaps comparisons between F/EF and FE mounts- since those are recently released. I would have expected a review of the tamron 17-35 f/2.8-4. Those are two fairly significant things that have happened this week, two fairly significant things that I feel like we need a more authoritative voice to chime in on, voices like those from Jordan and Chris.
