@driftwood Sorry but all the footage is oversharpened, I see halos everywhere. Can you disable all the sharpen on other clips please?

Does it come standard with cup holders? Or is that a Spring '17 upgrade as well?

@driftwood Ah, that clears up why I've only seen the VLogL stuff from Luke. Are you able to make some of the clips you've shot in other modes available for download?

This is the information about the Driftwood's 6K video I got out of the ffmpeg:

It's a shame it's only 4:2:0, but it does make sense, imagine the bandwidth it would need to encode 4:2:2, or 4:4:4 even? At least it's 10-bit, right? It might be worth investigating how much it makes sense downscaling to 4k, that should increase the chroma subsampling ratio.

Edit: I extracted a frame out of the 6k video into a 16-bit per channel lossless image, feel free to drop it in your favorite photo editing software for inspection: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10260554/personal-view/output00000001.png If you're curious about the compression quality, check the attached image where I zoomed into the part of the frame that had the most color variance.

There's an additional benefit from having native 2.35 aspect ratio in camera - the compression quality will be better! With less pixels to process, the same bitrate will produce a less compressed picture. Win, win on all counts.

Ralph_B I understand that, I just think that your option is more complicated and less likely to happen, plus the space you save, file transfer time, processing demands, etc. there is very little gain IMO.

Crop markings in open gate, that would be interesting, you will have the full 5184px to crop any way you prefer, in other words, DCI 5K.

GH5 6k photo video HEVC specs (file from Nick):

It is 10bit 4:2:0 video. Full exif as txt-file:

Does the HEVC Main 10 mean 10bit video? What means chroma format 4

The 6kphoto mode for movie making could be stunning... here's a 4K converted (by Vimeo) original HEVC 3:2 file you can all download. Its a quick test but I dedicated it to p-v. Watch it in 4K :-)

Hi Nick,

Here's a feature request. Give the GH5 the option to record movies in 2.35 aspect ratio. For the various shooting modes this would be:

3840 x 1632, 4096 x 1744, 5184 x 2208

This would be the final stamp in making it a digital cinema camera! (well, aside from RAW)

I will only answer questions in this thread as I have hundreds of emails...!

Remember about chat transcript also.

@dacloo

My major (and only question) for the GH5 is whether DFD is affecting auto-focus in video mode as well? IS it as good/better as GX80 etc...

@endotoxic

Nick, im more interested in the matrixes and the quantification ptterns used in this gh5 version h264. You talked about three algorithms reminicent of your work. How those compare to thw work done here, and how those afect this gh5 flavor of h264?

Lets just say Panasonic were very happy to announce All Intra 400Mbps to me personally at one of our meet ups! Codec TBA :-)

@theSUBVERSIVE Your excellent recommendations and points have been noted. 1. is impossible now. 2. crop marks will probably happen in a fw update as no doubt GH5 is in production at factories by now. 3. See endotoxic response above.

@lenuisible

Hi Nick, someone mentioned in the G80 topic that it's possible to use long press on Fn buttons to trigger a feature. I assume it's the same with GH5, could you please confirm ? Txs !

Hmm didn't check that one. Theres 22 functions inc. you can program the joystick Up,down,left,right and the wheels :-)

@thetrickster @AKED

FW updates for the 12-35 and 35-100mm, IBIS for other lenses

I know its been confusing. Im awaiting clarification from Japan as some say tomato others say tomatoes... I tried electronic stabilisation for video mode with some manuals attached and it seems pretty good.

@hedrox

Hi Nick, I would like to ask if the lut view for monitoring (when shooting in V-log) is present in camera or it will be a paid upgrade? Will it be possible to upgrade also our beloved Gh4s with this lut -upgrade? thank you!

I see four custom placeholders for picture profiles; I haven't seen VLog working on the GH5 yet; I am told it will be serial loaded/activated like the GH4 was but with the addition of the new LUT Display function Im hoping it will hold upto four different LUTs in these custom placeholders. You have vector and waveform scopes to help you expose correctly in addition to the good old Zebras and highlights functionality.

@Eno I will do proper ISO test next week. There is one eat the end of the other video remember.
