I appreciate your help,

GH3 was too weak on the vie

wfinder and its pictures were missing something (compare to EM-1 or D800) to be pleasing out of the camera or after post processing.

This Saturday, I took advantage of one class I was orginazing for my students in Shanghai (China) to do some shots with the GH4 I was doing high speed shoot workshop (Freezing water with Flash or High Shutter speed) and the GH4 did great.

It is the first camera I am using, for that type of topic, able to take so many jpg+Raw continuous fast shots without filling up its buffer too quickly. Much better than any of my students camera (Olympus EM1, Nikon D800 and D7100, Canon 700D and 70D...).

I used an Olympus 45mm f1.8 for that series of pictures (Manual focus)

From the GH4, I like the lasting Battery (5 times more duration than the on in the EM-1), the comfortable viewfinder (size, sharpness, shape), the peaking assitance for MF and the overall ergonomy of the camera. I sold my EM-1 as I couldn't cop with its weird menu, its poor battery life and one important missing feature: A physical switch to quickly change focus mode. I get it on the GH4 at the exact right position.

The EM-1 still produce more vivd and natural color, but I also like the signature of the GH4. Smoother, but great.

Only one things is still not good enough is the Dynamic Range (or Contrat ratio) of the viewfinder which is too contrasty; highlight are too easilly overexposed in high contrast situation, which is not visually accurate and comfortable to use.

This is my latest short film. Shot on a GH3 with Canon EF L Primes (from my 60D days) and a manual aperture adapter (wish the new speedbooster was out earlier, and wish the GH3 had the focus peaking feature like the GH4 does).

I like the Vivid setting in the GH3, the blacks look good after grading. This wasn't aimed as a cinema production, instead TV with a slight filmic quality!

Few things I would of changed, would have lost the massive DOF to one of my interviews. Broke my lens hood on the Canon 100mm f2.8 IS lens and found I had some casting/refraction on certain shots without it.

Any thoughs or questions, just ask.

Autoridades presentes de todas las latitudes y organismos, muchas gracias. Muchas gracias, nuestro agradecimiento al pueblo del Brasil y a su señora presidenta. Y muchas gracias a la buena fe que seguramente han manifestado todos los oradores que me precedieron.
Expresamos la íntima voluntad, como gobernantes, de acompañar todos los acuerdos que esta, nuestra pobre humanidad, pueda suscribir.
Sin embargo, permítasenos hacernos algunas preguntas en voz alta.
Toda la tarde se ha estado hablando del desarrollo sustentable y de sacar a inmensas masas de la pobreza.

¿Qué es lo que aletea en nuestras cabezas?

¿El modelo de desarrollo y de consumo, es el actual de las sociedades ricas? Me hago esta pregunta: ¿qué le pasaría a este planeta si los hindúes tuvieran la misma proporción de autos por familia que tienen los alemanes? ¿Cuánto oxígeno nos quedaría para poder respirar?

Más claro: ¿el mundo tiene los elementos hoy, materiales, como para hacer posible que 7 mil, 8 mil millones de personas puedan tener el mismo grado de consumo y de despilfarro que tienen las más opulentas sociedades occidentales?

¿Será posible, o tendremos que darnos algún día otro tipo de discusión? Porque hemos creado una civilización en la que estamos, hija del mercado, hija de la competencia, que ha deparado un progreso material portentoso y explosivo, pero lo que fue economía de mercado ha creado sociedades de mercado y nos ha deparado esta globalización – que significa mirar por todo el planeta – y ¿estamos gobernando la globalización o la globalización nos gobierna a nosotros?

¿Es posible hablar de solidaridad y de que estamos todos juntos en una economía que está basada en la competencia despiadada?

¿Hasta dónde llega nuestra fraternidad?

Nada de esto lo digo para negar la importancia de este evento. No. Es por el contrario. El desafío que tenemos por delante es de una magnitud, de carácter colosal, y la gran crisis no es ecológica, ¡es política!

El hombre no gobierna hoy las fuerzas que ha desatado, sino que las fuerzas que ha desatado lo gobiernan al hombre. Y la vida.

Porque no venimos al planeta para desarrollarnos en términos generales. Venimos a la vida intentando ser felices. Porque la vida es corta y se nos va. Y ningún bien vale como la vida. Y esto es elemental, pero si la vida se me va a escapar trabajando y trabajando para consumir un plus, y la sociedad de consumo es el motor, porque en definitiva si se paraliza el consumo o si se detiene, se detiene la economía, y si se detiene la economía es el fantasma del estancamiento para cada uno de nosotros.

Pero ese hiperconsumo a su vez es el que está agrediendo al planeta, y tiene que generar ese hiperconsumo cosas que duren poco porque hay que vender mucho. Y una lamparita eléctrica no puede durar más de mil horas prendida. Pero hay lamparitas eléctricas que pueden durar cien mil, doscientas mil horas, pero esas no se pueden hacer porque el problema es el mercado, porque tenemos trabajar y que tenemos que tener una civilización de use y tire, y estamos en un círculo vicioso.

¡Estos son problemas de carácter político! que nos están diciendo la necesidad de empezar a luchar por otra cultura. No se trata de plantearnos volver al hombre de las cavernas, ni tener un monumento del atraso. Es que no podemos indefinidamente continuar gobernados por el mercado, sino que tenemos que gobernar al mercado.

Por eso digo que el problema es de carácter político. En mi humilde manera de pensar. Porque los viejos pensadores definían – Epicuro, Séneca, los Aimara – “pobre no es el que tiene poco, sino verdaderamente pobre es el que necesita infinitamente mucho y desea y desea y desea más y más“. ¡Esta es una clave de carácter cultural!

Entonces, voy a saludar el esfuerzo y los acuerdos que se hacen. Y los voy a acompañar como gobernante, porque sé que algunas cosas de las que estoy diciendo rechinan.

Pero tenemos que darnos cuenta.

Que la crisis del agua, que la crisis de la agresión al medio ambiente, no es una causa.

La causa es el modelo de civilización que hemos montado, y lo que tenemos que revisar es nuestra forma de vivir.

¿Por qué? Pertenezco a un pequeño país muy bien dotado de recursos naturales para vivir. En mi país hay tres millones de habitantes, un poco más, tres millones doscientos. Pero hay unos trece millones de vacas de las mejores del mundo. Unos ocho o diez millones de ovejas estupendas. Mi país es exportador de comida, de lácteos, de carne. Es una penillanura[ii]. Casi el 90% de su territorio es aprovechable.

Mis compañeros trabajadores lucharon mucho por las ocho horas de trabajo y ahora están consiguiendo seis horas. Pero el que consigue seis hora se consigue otro trabajo, por tanto trabaja más que antes.
¿Por qué? Porque tiene que pagar una cantidad de cuotas: la motito que compró, el autito que compró. Y pague cuotas y pague cuotas. Y cuando quiere acordar es un viejo reumático como yo y se le fue la vida.

Y uno se hace esta pregunta: ¿ese es el destino de la vida humana?

Estas cosas son muy elementales. El desarrollo no puede ser en contra de la felicidad. Tiene que ser a favor de la felicidad humana, del amor, arriba de la tierra, de las relaciones humanas, de cuidar a los hijos, de tener amigos, de tener lo elemental!

Precisamente, porque eso es el tesoro más importante que tiene. Cuando luchamos por el medio ambiente, el primer elemento del medio ambiente se llama la felicidad humana.

Gracias.

There seems to be no foreseeable standardisation of electricity worldwide - despite the obvious cost savings that would produce in producing everything from turbines to appliances in the one standard.

Smart switchable power supplies in domestic appliances have managed to cope with the different countries' power supplies, however we all still know how the fast-flicker of electric lighting involves adjusting shutter-speed of video shooting.

The waveform of 230 volt, 50 Hz compared with 110 V, 60 Hz.

Frame rates for TV and video have traditionally corresponded to multiples of the AC cycle and 60p is often cited as an ideal frame-rate, for smoothness - but as one of the majority who lives in a 50Hz country, I'd like to see a future standard of 100fps video one day.

• Safe Option 1: Buy Metabones Speed Booster in Contax/Yashica -> Micro Four Thirds mount. Connect C/Y Zeiss glass. Profit.

• Theoretical Option 2: Buy Metabones Speed Booster in Canon EF -> Micro Four Thirds Mount. Adapt Zeiss C/Y glass to Canon EF mount. This allows me to share lenses with Canon bodies if necessary and also mount standard Canon EF glass to the Speed Booster as well. With the limited range of wide angle Zeiss C/Y glass available this also could make things easier. It saves me buying multiple $400 Speed Boosters.

Question is: Is there any reason NOT to do option 2? I know it will allow a greater chance of error in the adaptors, but will the C/Y -> Canon EF even mount to a Canon EF -> MFT Speed Booster? Is this entire idea completely stupid or have I stumbled on accidental brilliance?

THANKS!

Now with 4k coming along, I'm wondering if these older lenses will have any chance of producing the detailed images that the higher resolution sensors are capable of. Or, whether the way forward would be to use an RJ or Metabones speed booster with these lenses to get the detail/ resolution? It would be a shame to not be able to get the benefits of 4k unless using m43 lenses.

Does anyone have any experience, or opinions on this subject? I'd appreciate any comments.

And merry Christmas to all of you ;) My question is as the title suggests- I am considering buying a SSD for temporary storage of multicam Projects.

Can anyone comment on the performance in live preview? (specifically, Sony Vegas with GH2 Stock Settings Footage) But any experience will be nice to know.

Thanks guys :)

Then I noticed that I'd made a mistake: I'd set my shutter speed to 25, i.e., 1/25th of a second. I was concerned that the stuff we'd shot would be unusable, with strange blurs or occasional frame skipping or pull-down, but it looked just fine. (I've shot at 2 frames per second, and that tends to duplicate a lot of frames.)

As I said, there's no problems I need to fix here, but if someone could explain to me why this setting didn't screw up my video, I'd appreciate it.

Note that it is mostly usual Class 10 cads that are featured here, not top cards.

Anyway, I'm looking to get better performance without having up upgrade the system, and it appears that there may be 2 strategies. The first is to set up a RAID disk system for video editing. The second is to convert my video files to a less-compressed, more intraframe-like format, so playback may be faster, and edit that. So I have a few questions.

1. Let's say I want to take my hi-def AVHCD files, and render copies in another format that PP can play back faster. Is there a video format that'd work for this purpose?

2. How much can a decent RAID system speed up playback in Premiere Pro?

3. Which is preferred; SATA drives hooked to the motherboard, or USB 3.0 drives?

Also do you think that one should start with a simple color grading tool like Magic bullet Colorista/Looks or Color Finesse or move directly to more advance stuff like DaVinci Resolve. Also i heard some criticizm of Adobe Speedgrade, what is your take on that?

Do you need well lit scenes for color grading or can you grade scenes that are lit using only the sun?

-Hard stops on zoom and focus, most likely a manual lens. I'd be afraid of breaking an AF lens even if it has hard stops.

-Zoom and focus rings can't change position while zooming or focusing

-Must be in the "normal" to wide range on the wide end, so anything with a 17 or 24 or 28 or 35 on the wide end. I don't care much about the long end.

-Constant aperture, is a major plus.

I do not need constant volume on the lens, or anything very fast.

Any help would be appreciated.

Premiere Pro's renderer isn't exactly swift: it'd take twenty hours to render 2 hours of HD video into standard def. Is there a program that can render down a low-res version of an AVHCD file fairly quickly?
