Guys, how to get back to where you stopped using GH5 menu? I can bet there was an option "menu resume" and I can not find it anymore...

Thank you Dr Dave. And how about regions? I mean is every GH5 switchable from PAL to NTSC and back?

DJI Mavic - Foldable drone
I've decided to give it a try and after mere 4-5 flights I have to say: Mavic Pro is great! Flies very well, hoovers steadily and image stabilization of the gimbal/camera is just amazing! Video bandwidth is limited to 60mbps (lets pray for some…

GH4 - Best Video Settings
Guys, when I need 60p FHD footage - what would be me my best choice in terms of image quality: - MP4 @28Mbps - MOV @50Mbps - MP4 LPCM @100Mbps Last option (MP4 LPCM @100Mbps) delivers highest bitrate, but how much of it is really used for video …

More details, less compression artifacts - basing on my own tests, not the example above.

Significantly better, to my eye. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YD6luMpsJTk&t=3s

And Yi 4K has been already hacked - at least the bitrates - that goes up now to 90-150Mbps (instead of 60Mbps).

Did you guys have to refocus the Yi 4K lens? Mine was factory set a bit too close to get sharp on distant objects. Turned it just a bit clockwise and now is fine - from about 60cm to infinity. @Readbook - as far as I know, Gearbest is the only offi…

@woobirdy - what is the "x5s"..? Edit: All right - it is a fancy DJI gimbal/camera.

@trevmar - I am on 1.1.0 fw, like you, but can't see your "2.5K mode 2560x1520" as mine says in 2.5K mode: 2560x1920 and it's 4:3, not 16:9. Am I missing something..?

@filthy - all P2V or P2V+ use factory radio link at 5.8Ghz and 2.4Ghz WiFi, so there is no interference. WiFi range is up to about 300m, but some people get more (around 1km) while using some WiFi signal boosters. Regarding my earlier post - NOT SU…

@zcream - yes, on P2V or P2V+ live video feed and telemetry works with Xiaomi (by swapping some wires inside copter). And yes - I can tilt camera held by Storm32 by using a knob on RC or via an app. But Phantom 2 has Naza, not Pixhawk. See another …

I think with this 3.8mm 16MP lens it can be even better! https://youtu.be/u1siKwKf5Lc

For a 3rd party gimbal I would highly recommend Storm32 based board, it's rock steady on my Dji P2. I've just got Xiaomi Yi 4K, really impressed with that little beast! I do some IQ tests, picture looks really good, but the stock lens giv…

Filthy is right, about building your own flying platform versus ready to fly copter, out of the box. Especially time spent on it. My DIY very smart and intelligent hexacopter (able to fly filming missions on waypoints and lift GH4) is still in parts…

So why Panasonic service charges big money for calibrating lenses - if it is not needed? I've been told that sometimes lenses have to be calibrated, if they loose sharpness for example. In this case the fine adjustments of the position of the l…

So you are saying it is possible to calibrate Panny lenses via Panny body? What software should be used then?

On my GH4 and 35-100 lens (fw updated to 1.3) can't se any jitters. Micro jitter was the case on earliest fw, even when put on a rock steady tripod. BTW, I find my copy of 35-100mm F2.8 definitely softer from its smaller brother (12-35mm) both…

Would anybody tell me pls if after upgrading 12-35mm lens firmware from 1.2 to 1.3 (which features dual image stabilisation, to cover cameras with IBIS) the lens still works OK with no IBIS cameras, like GH3 or GH4? I know it would, but does it?
