The sharpness was set to regular 0 value.

I really need someone to "sell" me the idea of camera cages. I've never owned one, and struggle to understand why I would want to make a small camera bigger.

Now- don't misunderstand me: I think camera "rigs" are great, as this adds stability for shooting. Just a cage by itself always seemed to me large. Maybe I need to get one and see how it fits into my workflow?

Maybe if I used a HDMI recorder a cage would make more sense.

Then again I have been working hard on my GAS problem.

UPDATE: Watched Zacuto video in full. I think this video just sold it to me! :-)

@Odur I didn't realize it was your vid... good work! I like the shot composition as well. What sharpness level do you run on the GH5 with the PL 42.5mm lens? It looks "just right".

@Vitaliy_Kiselev :-( Must be lots of testing of bushes. (Reminds me of PTool days!) Only this time Panasonic is doing the hacking. :-)

From my sources got small leaks.
Panasonic has some issues with promised firmware update.
Seems to be issues with buffers/SD controllers on such high bitrates and few errors in encoders that need to be bypassed. For now management still optimistic and hope to push developers more and try to make something till September, or at least October. But who knows, some of promised features can be adjusted.

Thanks, it took me some time to work with these flat images, but at the end I like the results. I'm sorry that the streaming is causing heavy compression artifacts in the more complex scenes (like the one used for the video cover), maybe streaming at 4k resolution could reduce the artifacts. Looking at the original, even in the most stressful situations there's no match for the online version.

If False Color is can be apply with Lut method, Panasonic should really put this function in the camera.

True, however its also possible for us to choose from any LUT that applies false colour. Thus we can get in future (or if someone makes it) false colour LUT's with many different usages.

What would be cool is a function button assigned to swapping LUT's, so we can easily move from one out to the other. (maybe this is already available?)

I would also like to see LUT playback of stored VLog-L footage, currently its only Log, which makes review problematic without ingesting onto laptop etc.

If False Color is can be apply with Lut method, Panasonic should really put this function in the camera.

@AKED true UHSII are faster, but it's a pity there is no real difference between 180MB/s and 280MB/s.

I wonder if the USHII areas of the GH5 firmware are not switched on yet? (or not optimised)

I was trying to say 'areas' of the firmware that were not optimised. If there 'are' areas that are not optimised.

That's why I was thinking that there may be further optimisation possible? I suppose however that it does come down to how fast Panasonic have clocked the SDCard Slots, IIRC UHSII due to the greater amount of pins is able to transfer more information with same UHSI clocking.

Also if Panasonic were to clock the SDCard higher it would most probably cause thermal issues (if its even capable of being clocked higher that is). I know many SOC devices with SDCard's have chips that can be clocked higher - such as the RPi for example. (I know the GH5 isn't an RPi- just saying).

Hey @AKED thanks for the info re: USHI v's II.

I wonder if the USHII areas of the GH5 firmware are not switched on yet? (or not optimised). I suppose we will find out after the 1.2 firmware update.
