After returning from my Maldives trip, I've prepared some sample LX100 4k underwater video, for those interested, see separate topic: http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/12828/4k-underwater-videography-
ok good to know!!
@soulkeeper I've been running that duo in the natural color profile w/ -1 Saturation, -2 Contrast, -5 NR, -5 Sharpness settings. The footage is extremely close when intercut and only requires small tweaks to contrast in post (if any). IMO, the two cams compliment each other nicely and deliver very professional results.
Hi! Just received my lx100! going to use it as a b-cam along with my gh4 for a wedding.. Any suggestions for settings so i can have a color matched result? Thanks!
I think I had it at auto focusing for this video and it might have been set to focus in the center. It was a rental so I'm unable to check the camera to get a refresher on what I did exactly.
PauloTeixeira Thank you for posting this video. What was your focus setting?
My last LX100 video to be posted. I should have uploaded this long ago but better late than never. Shot in 30p Shutter might have been 30. Aperture might have been around f/2.0. No idea what my ISO was set to.
Cortejo dos Reis - Sao Miguel - 4K video
So I have spent a few weeks checking this camera out, and although there is a lot to like, there are some things that disappoint: although I should have realized that a $700 camera has its limits.
By far for me was the shocking barrel distortion of the lens on the wide side. My preference is usually not on the wide-side, but the lens on this camera makes wide-angle truly painful. Sure, some of this can be corrected in post, but...
A shame that the lens is not interchangable on this camera, in retrospect I probably should have brought a GM5. Unless you absolutely need the 4K video, that would be my recommendation.
I think because you get more of the frame in focus than you would with say f/2.0, it might give you less apparent focus hunting.
this camera really catches my interest as additional cam to my setup for recording live concerts with multiple cameras...but I'd need to mount it on the stage, hit record and don't worry about recording time limitations but there are, right? 29mins even on the US model? is there any HACK? that would be the best hack in quite a while this camera deserves one
PauloTeixeira Thank you so much for the tip, but would the smaller aperture reduce the focus hunting?
Hi all - I own this camera and would like to know is there a drone on the market I can buy that will carry this cam? :)
When it comes to auto focusing, one advise I'd give you is that when theirs more than enough lighting such as outdoors during the day, try shooting at around f/6.3.
I took advantage of the Amazon deal and now I'm happy owner of the LX100. However, I'm having problems with the focus hunting and I'm still trying to figure out the best way to autofocus on fast moving subjects. Any tips in this regard are highly appreciated.
Thanks for the heads up on this. I have just bought one. I can't believe the deal but who knows why Panasonic UK has decided to shift some units but I am happy to take advantage.
good deal for UK buyers at the moment, £449 with £50 cashback & 5 year warranty - ends at midnight
Here's a couple of more videos from my trip to Sao, Miguel Azores.
Sometimes when your driving in between farms, their could be cow traffic.

While walking in the street one night, a cousin told me that I should take a quick video inside this person's house. Theirs an opening that allows you to peek inside. Probably a miniature Sao Miguel.
Aperture could have been on f/4 and the ISO at 3,200. Not bad.There’s a lot to like about the Panasonic LX100. It bridges the gap between some of the very small fixed lens compacts and smaller mirrorless systems, offering a reasonably priced pocketable camera with a built-in EVF and 4K video capability. Stills image quality is high, comparable to other MFT cameras, and only falling behind APS-C sensor equipped cameras when it comes to ultimate enlargeability. If 13X19″ prints are as big as you need, then you won’t be disappointed in the LX100’s files, especially raws processed out from the latest version of Lightroom or Camera Raw.
@elc : for multi camera, look for the beta of RoboCam (search RoboCamRocks) But I'm not sure LX100 is supported for now...
