Panasonic GH5 + 42.5mm f/1.2 | Exploring Anaga Mountains, Tenerife | 4K 

Thank you :)

Thank you! yes, all handheld. Overcranking the footage helps to smooth it of course :)

Hi, I'm using the Hoya Pro ND filters www.hoyafilter.com/hoya/products/prondfilters/ I'm also using the Manfrotto Xume magnetic system so I don't have to screw them on and off every time I want to change the ND filter. Really convenient solution if a matte box isn't an option because of the size...

Great! Can you tell which ND filters exactly you bought? I try to find a good combination for a road trip movie. Also using the GH5 and Leica Nocticron 42,5 :-) Thank You

Sweet combination :-) I currently have four NDs: 4, 8, 16 and 32 but if you shoot in bright daylight you might even need the 64.

Love your video style! Great to read that you are using the Xume system, since I just ordered one set of it. Do you use the 67mm Xume set or a larger variant? I ordered the 67mm one, but I'm afraid it will have bad vignetting on the 8-18. But the 72mm is less practical to use with my L12-60. Hard time deciding on this haha!

Marcel Musiol How did you color grade this? It looks so good! Any LUTS?

Thank you! Most clips are shot in 50fps (4K) and some in 125fps (1080) and then interpreted as 25fps.

Hey Casper, thank you! Manual focus all the time :)

Thank you! No, it's all handheld however both the camera body and the lens have built-in stabilisation that work really well. And it's slowed down from 50fps to 25fps (some clips even from 125fps), so that helps to smooth it out as well.

Thank you Pablo :) Yes, manual focus all the time. The aperture depends on the situation, I don't have it wide open all the time. Unfortunately there is no camera metadata like ISO, aperture, shutter speed in the video files... Maybe I have to get into the habit of taking a picture for each clip to save the metadata because it would be really interesting and helpful for learning...

Thanks for the answer. What I do when I need to know the metadata of a clip is re-record it on a card and insert it into the camera. So when you play it back the camera shows you the metadata. But take a picture is fast and easy, good idea.

I just tested your idea but unfortunately it only shows me the ISO value and some other data like picture style in the playback but somehow not the aperture and shutter speed unfortunately. And I realised that taking a picture while recording is only possible when you are in a picture mode but not when you are in one of the video modes... :(

@@earthAP nice video! To view full exif data on video files (incl. Shutter speed, aperture etc) I personally use exifgui, works well

Hi, since I saw there wasn't a reply yet, I feel somewhat qualified to answer. The 25mm f1.7 stays on my gh5. It is extremely versatile and the bokeh I get out of it has been more than sufficient for my personal taste and client work. Since its a shorter focal length, you get get a little less shaky footage out of it. I feel like there are more applications for the average shooter having the 25mm. It's like our nifty 50. But I found myself here at this video because I am looking to buy the 42.5mm f1.7 to go with my 25. I feel like it is going to compliment it very well. The 42.5 will give me even more background blur so I can isolate my subject more when I need to. I would rather have this pair than spend $1000 for one f1.2 lens :) hope this helps!

So many lens choices - Depends on personal style, that is, if you want your shots to include more ‘story’ ie, the surrounding environment. GH5 & metabones / viltrox adapters enhance your lens choices, Canon, Sigma, Nikon.

I use manual focus

@@earthAP the focus on the dog running tryin running was impressive

I don't use e stab. because I don't like the "wobbly" effect it sometimes produces... The 42.5mm1.2 has built-in stabilisation (Power OIS) maybe that's why it is smoother.

Marcel Musiol i own 42.5 1.2, but sometimes when panning up or down a bit weird shaky :(

ok, haven't really noticed that yet but I'll test it next time

Yes, well spotted :)

Thank you! I used Lumetri Color in Premiere Pro to grade, no LUTS.

@@earthAP did you modify your natural picture profile in any way? Did you change contrast, saturation, sharpness, etc.

Yes, I dialed these down a bit because you can easily add it later in post, while it's harder to remove too much contrast, saturation or sharpness which is "baked" into the file by the camera

@@earthAP did you use external recorder and 4k 60p? or is it upscaled 1080?

I'm using the 'Natural' profile

this is answer, i`m looking for :) im shooting on vlog and i cant fix colors, seems i must try in "Natural", Marcel video so LUSH!

Yes I think especially with the 8-bit codec you should try to get it as close to your desired end result in camera as possible.

Thank you very much for advice Marcel.

Looks amazing!!! Did you make any adjustments to the saturation, sharpness, contrast, or noise reduction?
