Panasonic G9 II Has a Secret 4:1 Macro Mode! 

That’s what I’m going to do as well. The original G9 became a great bargain pretty quickly and I’m thinking the G9 II will as well.

Nobody speaking truth will ever get a partnership like that. Only shills get free stuff to push.

As beautiful as the bee footage is, it can't be used by one company to promote its camera (Panasonic G9M2), or its lens (Olympus 60mm macro).

I don't remember, you have to pick the right codec and shoot 1080p 24p, then VFR option will show up as 300fps.

Did you use a V90 sd card for filming at 300 fps or a v60? No more questions after this lol@@cameraconspiracies

⁠​⁠@@cameraconspiracies Hi, Very nice videos at 300fps, that's why I chose g9ii but I can't find this function either, please make a short video for this setting. And which SD card would you recommend? Thanks

Everything was handheld.

Because you can always stop down, but rarely can you stop up 😅

Or the full-frame user can simply crop by 2x (half the linear width or height) post processing. Zoom in after-the-fact. It’s sad how a large portion of the 4/3rds community only fixates on their chosen limitations with nowhere to go in the other direction, whereas larger sensors can do both. Wider field-of-view is always an option. Plus a two stop light gathering advantage with larger area sensors (equivalent area lumens per square area), with less overall noise resulting.

Spoken like armchair photographers… doesn’t sound like you guys have ever shot a macro or deep DOF landscapes. You just PRESUME that stopping down will fix it, which it doesn’t. There’s IQ penalties once you stop down too far. You’re generally left focus-stacking if you don’t want to go beyond your lens’s sweetspot. M4/3 gives you the DOF you need in one shot with free higher magnification. “Zoom in after the fact” 😂 You mean you want to switch to the output of a smaller sensor? So now your fullframe 24mp sensor has become a 6mp M4/3 when cropping half the image.

​@@HesselFolkertsma diffraction impacts all formats at the same DOF a m43 macro lens at F/11 will be impacted to the same degree as a FF macro lens at F/22 , diffraction is an unavoidable physical phenomenon. Just like equivalence ,your tone is ironically funny . Where you declare you "facts" with no worries about reality, You being a macro guru and all are I am sure aware that 1:1 macro is a standardized definition used for decades . Where it means that an object in real life will be the same size on the sensor so no it doesn't give higher magnification it just fills the frame with a smaller subject. 1:1 . There is of course the actual 2:1 90mm macro which unless you are stacking at 2:1 you are out of luck nearly every sample shot I have seen from that lens is a high magnification mush. The stacked shots though can be spectacular. Among my many macro options I have a Nikon 200mm F/4 which I could use natively on any Nikon FF or APS DSLR camera OR adapted to mirrorless and have even adapted it for fun on a J5 . It still remains a 1:1 lens the only thing that changes is the smaller the sensor the smaller the subject that can fit inside it. If you look at your 60mm macro just like mine it says right there on the lens 1:1 www.dpreview.com/articles/6519974919/macro-photography-understanding-magnification I have been using m43 alongside FF since 2009 and sadly there are way too many hard of thinking m43 users. Mostly geriatric Olympus fans with scant regard for facts and given the age demographic of most m43 users a wheelchair is more likely than an armchair, As for cropping perhaps you missed the memo that there have been FF cameras with 36 .45 ,50, 61mp for several years now. The Sony A7r IV, V new A7CR , Sigma FPL some Leica's all have 61mp sensors giving approx. 15mp . As late as 2020 with the E-M10 IIIs Olympus was launching a 16mp model. Though if a FF or APS user wants or need more than 1:1 there are plenty of options including some exotic options that go as far as 5x Though it seems hard for a lot of m43 folk to understand . m43 is a tiny niche market in the overall ILC World. Regardless of what area you shoot in be it macro or birds in flight . For every m43 shooter that thinks he has it all worked out there will dozens of folk using other sensors to do the same job. m43 is an excellent system in is own right and more than capable of wonderful results in the right hands. Endless inaccurate frankly laughable claims made everyday in m43 makes them comedy gold

Yeah he is learning slowly but ummm maybe don't try to teach others until you learn first. But hey that's most reviewers who don't know how to use their kit

nice attempt, but contrast too low, macro is very demand to light setup (ideally like jevelery, deep black velvet as background and tiny bright spot light or like pro in studio special beam light mask). Kasey was very lucky to catch natural light close to that, and obviously push contrast and satutation on post pro that make it so catchy.

@@AABB-px8lc you are right, there was not enough light to make everything pop. Next Spring and Summer will offer that light again. Besides wanting to try it with natural light, some external light source may also help keeping ISO down. Still the Sony cannot compete with the Panaboy here.

Plus the mc-20. Maybe 16:1?

Cameras can't even shoot in 720p anymore lol.
