As a filmmaker who just spent all my money on the gh5 and lenses and cards.... This video is a serious gift! I cannot tell you how much I appreciate this! Truly thank you!
Hey man, this video is still beyond helpful 3 years later. The gh5 has really stood up and I think will stay an incredibly valuable camera (especially for the price) for years to come still. This has been beyond helpful and I appreciate the work that you guys do. Definitely will be grabbing some gear through your links and checking out your channel :)
I just bought my GH5, I'm a total noob to photography and using any kind of real camera. This tutorial is AWESOME and so very helpful breaking everything down. I thumbed through the owner's manual before finding this overview and I have to admit I was a little overwhelmed by all of the different features on the camera. Thank you very much for doing this and making the camera a lot less scary.
Thanks for putting this out for free, Tony (and Chelsea). I know it takes you guys time and money to produce these, so I really, really appreciate it! This is THE best guide I've seen on camera functions, bar none. I will definitely use your amazon link when I buy my grip and extra batteries/charger (I just got my GH5 yesterday and it's a MASSIVE step up from the GH2 and D800 I was shooting with...**MASSIVE**).
even though this was FILLED w/very detailed content, you didn't fly thru it SO fast that someone's head stayed spinning. perfect speed and probably THE BEST video so far on GH5. THANKS!!!!
Tony and Chelsea, I started watching this channel for periodic drone tutorials when I was getting into the drone world. Since then, there has been more and more great stuff from you guys and now I am here often for all of your subjects. Thanks for the hard work.
Thank you for making this video. This video is such a huge help for me. I just bought a GH5 to shoot better videos and photos of my cooking. I am so grateful that you put this out there. Tony and Chelsea, you both explain things so well.
2:01 "So we stick to the actual name brand ones" Points to screen with picture of Newmowa batteries. That was funny. Awesome review Tony! Great info for someone like me who just got his GH5.
The GH5's menu system is extensive and and his coverage and explanations are easy to follow. He even points out when he will "cover topics" later in the video when necessary. That way he stays focused on the topic at hand. An Example Would Be:....8:35 sec into the video......after demonstrating how to snap a picture....he states he will discuss the different snap shot modes later in the video. That way the viewer is aware there are more features available (then just snap shot) and helps keep things on track and on point. I have found it best to have your camera in hand, and to go through the motions with him as he explains and demonstrates the camera's functions. . That is the fastest way to learn your way around the camera. Also have a pen and paper ready so you can jot down notes to refer back to aspects of the system you would like to learn more about. A table of contents menu for this video may have be helpful, but that would have had to been ridiculously long given the GH5's menu structure. Having watched this video enough times myself, I now know whats on here and take from it what I need. Excellent video and in my opinion second to none.
I have been watching a ton of G5 videos and stumbled upon this video by accident. I’m glad I did. Someone in the comments said this is the best G5 video and I have to agree. The fact that you made it free for your audience is just amazing (and turned me into a subscriber!) Than you so much for this video, I have a shoot tomorrow and wanted to learn more about the camera and this video was ultimate. 🙏🏼👊🏼
Hey Tony! I am only 15 minutes in but this has already been so helpful I had to pause the video. Thank you so so much for creating such a detail oriented tutorial. You are a a lifesaver. I have had my Gh5 for a week and man was I using it wrong!
I've been out of photography and videography for a long time and just purchased the GH5. To say I felt a bit intimidated would be correct! This video has made me believe I'll be able to figure it all out! Thanks!
This is incredible. I can't thank you enough for going into so much detail and yet making it *practical* and not gear-elitist. This has changed my game completely. I'll be sticking around your channel from here on in.
Clear, informative, and fast moving. This video is outstanding. Thanks, Tony. You got me up and running on my GH5 in the best way possible. I will definitely made the effort to buy things through your amazon link, just to support this outstanding free video. Grateful.
Thank you so much for this video. The amount of preparation you must have done before hand would have been huge. I've just purchased a GH5 and watching hands on demos is sooo helpful. Cheers.
Thank you T&C for all you do for our community. This free GH5 tutorial is the perfect example of your generosity. Just bought a GH5 and this has saved me so much time. Keep it up!! Y'all da best!
My GH5 just came in the mail 2 days ago and your diligent tutorial has me ready to hit the streets with it! Thank you for taking the time to be so thorough!! Will be picking up some of your books as well!!
Thank you Tony and Chelsea! Your tutorials along with "Stunning Digital Photography" are incredible. You're helping me learn, step by step how to use my Panasonic G85. Thank you!
Epic tutorial. I'd say the most detailed on this platform and by far the most educational in terms of beginners to mid-level photographers and videographers. Despite me switching out my GH5 for an A7III (a lot of work I want to do is in low-light) this tutorial enabled far more dynamic utilization out of my GH5 during its tenure. Cheers.
You ROCK Tony. Can't wait to get a GH5, you help us all so much. Your depth is astounding, balanced as well as critical. Will advertise your wonderful books as soon as I get sorted as a small return for your own generosities. You are both tops Tony & Chelsea Northrup. Thanks again. Truly appreciated. Five Stars!
Thanks for the lens recommendations AND how they perform with AF etc. Lots of people say you can adapt *any* lens but leave off two important considerations: 1. The camera's ability to interact with the lens - AF OR other issues and 2. provide guidance as to which lenses make the most sense and why. I have owned the Lumix FZ1000 (fixed lens) for years and DON'T own any lenses so I need guidance in choosing focal lengths, native and third party lenses and the pros and cons of these choices so I end up with a lens ecosystem that makes sense now and for the future - esp as 3? new mounts have been introduced in just the past year. I have learned that regardless of MFT's future (2020) this sensor delivers the best IBIS, 4K 60fps, no overheating, and excellent still + video quality, great battery life, and "acceptable" AF - and when better AF is needed there is nothing to stop a person from using a second camera in situations that demand great AF like Canon M50 M6 Mk II RL (for AF & Low light) or Sony A6x00 series.
I hope this vid made you a tonne of money because it was so helpful and insightful! Cant imagine how much preparation went into creating this video! Extremely awesome stuff!!!!
Thank you for this tutorial. I just bought the GH5 (upgrading from a GH3) and now it will be faster to me to master all the new features I need. Thanks for the shopping advices as well!
Incredible guide. Thank you so much. This video has helped me tremendously after my recent purchase of a GH5. Those once daunting numerous buttons and menu items now seem much more friendly!
I know you get ad money from doing these but it really is a very helpful service. Thanks so much, I'd literally be using 20% of my camera without these tutorials.
wow Tony. I'm lucky a found you inadvertently tonight. After a long night of searching for GH5 tutorials with no really satisfaction, I landed here. I just bought the S1H and had a bit of a change of heart with all the big money and it was perhaps to much camera for me so I picked up the GH5 to try it. So tomorrow is a day of testing and after watching your video. I'm feeling positive about sending the S1H back and getting into it with the GH5. Looking forward to more from you and now going to watch your Review Video with more about auto focus and focus which was first off what I was looking for. Great Job. Thank you again. Tom
Holy smokes. Like all of your videos, this was insanely informative and Exhibit A in your uncommon blend of being both relatable and authoritative. I know (oh, how I know) the incalculable effort and care that went into pulling this together, and I just wanted to say a simple thanks. This was crazy helpful and answered a lot of questions I didn't even know I had.
Great stuff Tony - I learned a lot about my new GH5. I appreciate the time and effort you must have put into this video - concise, thorough, informative and very professionally presented. Thank you.
Love my GH5. Use it professionally for stills and occasional video as it has the best usability of any camera I've ever used. Got a GH3 for video years ago and ended up leaving Nikon because it was surprisingly good for stills with good lenses. Can't stand the clunky DSLRs anymore or the complete lack of progress from Canikon. Considered Sony but no flip screen. GH5 works for me. Thanks for the interesting guide.
There's a much faster way of assigning a function to custom fn buttons. Simple hold down the button in question for a second or so and it'll pop up a menu asking what you want it to do.
Thanks Tony. We have a G85 but I found most of the functions you talk about here are also on our G85 and the tips were great. Lens tips were great guides for our recent lens purchases.
Good job Tony and Justin! I'm very aware how long, drawn out, frustrating, and MUCH work tit takes to produce a complicated camera tutorial! Thanks for taking the time to help thousands of others better learn to use there Panasonic GH5. Myself included :)
Great overview vid! Thanks for your efforts and for sharing your expertise! 😁 One slight correction, during the time-lapse discussion (about 41 minutes in) you say "60 shooting at 60 FPS you will need 60 images for 1 minute of video" but clearly you meant "1 second," still there's probably a few people out there that will be confused by this. Lol. Cheers!
Is it worth purchasing the GH5 over the G80. I’m no camera expert and currently just film myself training golf direct to camera. Everything up to now is done on auto but using an old cannon camcorder. Not sure whether as it’s just me on my own filming I could get the most from the GH5 and thus thought the G80 might be good enough. Any thoughts would be much appreciated
I got my GH5v yesterday. Now I try to follow Tony through the course -- and I loose the track all the time. Start missing my old XA10. It had a green zone: Everything on automatic.
This video has been invaluable so far so thanks for that. I am watching 3-4 times so I understand everything. Wondering of this camera has the proper software. ISO will not go above 6400. There are no other higher numbers. Also can not select variable frame rates. Those words are dim on the menu and if you press on them it says THIS MENU ITEM CANNOT BE SET. The recording format and quality is set to VFR available.
The angle and the lighting made it look like you were literally turning your SD card on and off. As thought the car had a yellow on/ off light. I just thought that was just so awesome lol
Finally! I was wondering when you would produce such an instructional video. This makes it so much simpler that trying to negotiate a 300 page manual. Thanks so much!!
7:35 Tony: It's actually a really easy way to see around. Me: (Carrying a camera around and not wearing glasses) My friend: How do you see w/o your glasses? Me: I can use the viewfinder of my camera. (My myopia is actually very bad, at around -8.50 ~ -9.00)
FYI Amazon also has 3rd party battery grips which cost 80 percent less than Panasonic part. Not sure about GH5, but I'm using Vivitar grip on a G95 that works fine & so improves the ergonomics.
Thank you so much! You guys are definitly my Go to Source for quality Information regarding fotography. You re doing an Awesome Job! Thank you from across the planet,..
Great job. I have wanted to learn this camera inside and out, you have definitely delivered the right information. Thank you so much. I watch it with my brand new GH5S in had and have learned so much. Thank you Tony
Incredible video, everything you need to know about the camera. I feel like this video should come in the box, thank you so much for making it I had to subscribe to you.
Top-notch work as always. Thx so much for the hard work! As a Canadian, I had to laugh when watching your drone video about flying regulations, as you are correct about our country's crazy restrictions! Just try dealing with all our taxes...
Thank you for your efforts on this. Love the humor and honesty. I'm sure there were many times more hours that went into getting the 2 hour result. Firmware updates have changed a lot of things. The latest is 2.7. For instance, I can't find Focus Transition anymore. Any chance of an update? It's still one of the best mirrorless micro 4/3 cameras available.
Thank you so much for this video! I'm just beginning to learn about my GH5S and this has been incredibly helpful. I will be buying your books to support. :-)
As another proud owner and RU-vidr as well, I do agree that the GH5 is the best camera for what we do. There are things that they can do on the software side to make it better. For one get rud of that mountain and flower focus distance ranger. It's better to have what the S1H has with the actual measurement. Two, give us more paid upgrades. I can't just think that the only paid upgrade was VLOGL. Which tells me the camera can do more. I bet a higher dynamic range in the shadows and more. They are holding it back. Here why say this. The G9; better processor same sensor, but it won't work with the audio adapter. Panasonic is just stopping it. Isn't true the BMPCC4K is the same sensor as the GH5s?
