I have tried several different ways but it doesn't seem that this is possible.

Do you mind sending me a message explaining more in detail about what you're wanting it to do so I can send it to Panasonic engineers!

I know I usually use AF to set my first point, and then switch to manual after it starts recording but I think you're wanting something different. Let me know because I'd love to find an answer for this for you!

@tylerknight, can you compare gh5 with the original 12-35mm f2.8 vs the mk ii aka dual i.s. 1 vs dual i.s. ii? Does it make day and night different? Thanks

Tomorrow is testing day just to keep everyone in the loop :)

I will be starting from the start of the list and working my way through one at a time. If I can't test it I will let you know.

Going to be a busy day ;)

@philiplipetz

So are you wanting to compare to GH4 in that regard then? The noise is very much reduced from the GH4. Is that the control you would like me to base it from?

@tylerknight . Yes, 1080 HD is downscaled from the entire sensor since there is not additional crop factor. On some cameras this does the same as downscaling in post and gives one additional stop of low light sensitivity. But this depends on how they derive the HD signal from the 5K sensor of the GH5. Not all cameras so this. So, I was asking you to test this. It would be great to have a run and gun mode that has better low light response.

@tyleknight

I have a very simple question, is there a crop factor when you use the 4/3 anamorphic mode ? Or does it use the full sensor size ? Don't worry, you don't need an anamorphic lens to chech that out :-)

Thanks in advance

thank you Tyler, but I was asking about in camera downscaling. We shoot events and on most jobs we cannot take the time to downscale in post.

@konjow

They're coming :) just had to take advantage of having a pro snowboarder for a friend first ;)

All of the the technical shooting will be done over the weekend/next week!

@arson519 I believe optically they are the same, but seem lighter, better weather proofing, and now freeze resistant

@philiplipetz As far as I know 4K downscaled in post will always have better noise patterns

"Testing Requests" any chance for answers ;)

Here's a little sample of what I've been shooting with the GH5 the last few days!

Was shot in 4K 60P and 1080p 180fps scaled to 4K in a 24p timeline.

I did some minor colour correction and have a few clips that are a bit warm for my taste to fix still, but wanted to show what this thing can do.

Everything is 100% handheld. The zoomed shot of the rider hitting the green rail from up above, is shot handheld at 400mm on the 100-400mm lens.

Everything else was the new 12-35mm f2.8 mkII and the 7-14mm f4 lens on Standard colour profile.

Some photos with various lighting condition and iso would be great , thank you

what reason would someone have for wanting to use A, P, or S modes for video out of curiosity?

I shoot lots of videos when I have no time, skill or need to adjust exposure carefully with manual. GH4 auto exposure works very well and usually nails the exposure better than I can. It is often impossible to see the screen all the time. I still want to avoid some bad exposure combinations by monitoring the auto exposure when I can. Many takes photos with S or A and they want to know the other exposure values and iso too. It is even more important with video. Manual exposure is not the only option for me.

If using GH5 4k 60P the auto exposure value choices are not so critical so maybe this is not so big issue. I still want to see what exposure the camera is using. Why Panasonic blocks them?

Anyway I think I will be shooting 30P video with 6k photovideo. It shows exposure values nicely and has better video quality. With GH4 the 4k photovideo has no AFS and has worse NR so I dont like it even when it shows exposure info.
