Just a note to say that it would probably be worth doing some tests ahead of the event. Situations like this involve many variables and most often people don't consider all of them because they don't do any methodical tests. You are assuming that the AF will work differently between different picture profiles, but I would suggest the AF would be operating on the image before the picture profile is applied, so it shouldn't matter... but, once again, you should test this to confirm. Another thing to consider is if you can push the shutter angle to 270 degrees or even 360 degrees. If it's a worship setting then making the footage seem a bit more surreal might be appropriate, and you can get another half or full-stop of exposure this way. You should also test NR in post - it's not ideal but it might give a better result overall considering none of your scenarios are operating in the cameras ideal operating range. I've done a lot of shooting with cameras at/beyond their capabilities and when you're pushing things you're trading off the drawbacks of each strategy.

Just make sure you're testing the options in the full image pipeline, so comparing finished 709 grades. So many people only test one part of the pipeline and ignore the rest. I haven't really experimented much with the AF on the GH7 as I'm used to the AF on the GX85 etc, and I tend to use manual lenses in lower light. AF is very difficult to test as well, and @Davide DB has posted before about how lens-dependent it can be too. Maybe there are AF tests online? Playing peekaboo with your camera seems a popular camera reviewer pastime!

I'm not sure how this would translate, but my GH7 does far better when I raise the ISO to get a proper exposure in-camera vs shooting under exposed and raising the exposure in post. For some reason the shadows are quite noisy, even at native ISOs. This is shooting in C4K Prores so it's not a codec issue.

I’m dead 🤣🤣

Would it be worth quoting Genesis 1:3 as this would solve the high ISO need… (with apologies)

Formatting is being super weird right now ignore post
