The world is not all lost, after all (well, only the 1st one is mine :-D): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WD9C3C2koU&lc=z13rwplrhlfzztpyz04chxzyhqyfcfxhlkw0k "To begin with, you'd use the brains to make a choice, same thing where you want the focus, then you'd lock it. Now seems simple, isn't it? ;-) This camera is not for people who don't understand a shit about it. But, apart the appearances (we all bet you don't speak all the time like that), when we go deep in your review, it's not hard to get you are not a moron, so what's up when you're unable to find a way? Did you test tap-to-focus by any chance? What will Matt Frazer think of you when you'll see each other next time?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WD9C3C2koU&lc=z12yxly43ozispyw004ccziy2onatvfj2bw "The GH5 is not made for VLOG and selfies... Get a Canon 70D at $800 for that and you'll be happy with the AF. People who spend $2k for the GH5 do it for the image quality and bit depth, they'll use manual focus (peaking) or lock AF anyway. (...)" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WD9C3C2koU&lc=z12yxly43ozispyw004ccziy2onatvfj2bw.1491808591358142 "V-Log works perfectly on mine. I dont like the stabilisation but the rest ist just wonderfull. even the AF is very good. its a prosumer camera so you have to choose settings. if you change the 225 focus modus to center you get better results as the rx100, i´m sure about that" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WD9C3C2koU&lc=z13bjzc4avn4ed3pn04cjbliwx3tjfzhiao "I think its obvious you shot in the 225 mode and that the problem. the sony focuses whatever is in the center, you can do the same with the gh5 if you choose center focus" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WD9C3C2koU&lc=z13qfj1gjonqit2xo04ce1jyluqzyrl4ifc "Just curious, you have a tablet on the table. Why dont you use the app to set the focus and have it set to a fixed point? I do that with the GH4 and works out great!" Great post, Jon! Nice to read you :-)

Blame much more Panasonic reps than the complexity of their AF system. Other than that, it is a film camera, not exactly the typical vlog one. Good for her imagerie! ;-)

Actually, not : ) We speak Portuguese which came from Galician-Portuguese: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galician-Portuguese https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portuguese_language Spanish speakers speak Castellano, Castilian, in English, IIRC (we are able to understand them but there are distinct words and they fight to understand us; easier to read, obviously): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_language Thanks for the compliments! I try my best, even though, English is a natural language in my work almost 100% of the time.

LOL Very true. Office at Lisbon, but I am a man of the north of Portugal. Oporto is nearby. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porto

I guess that Malta is a bit different of that one of mine, so comes really grateful to read you, as usual in the set of topics you're used to focus on your awesome posting : ) You should publish your memories, mate! :-) I run some businesses today, film production included. But, trader, seller, consultant (film, economics, law), instructor, and so on, as much as film critic / presenter / producer (newspapers, radio, TV), photographer, cameraman, editor, scriptwriter, director, in this industry, the same as life in general, I've done a bit of everything. Actually, I guess I am a full-time student for my lifetime being :-D

LOL Indeed. BTW, Malta is one of my homes too :-)

LOL I've been based in both Rome and Naples. I am still connected to both because I have my stuff spread all over there. Naples can be a contradictory town, fab people but odd things happen at times. Crazy location indeed. Good for vacations and you must take care of you all the time. True, you can't die before to go there. But please, don't let strictly literally written :-D Rome, on the contrary, is a peace of mind. Only a certain type of Italians are still there. Hey, I love them! So, I could only write "a certain type of"... Actually, I feel myself one of them, so I am able to tell everything about them/us (as Portuguese native, hard to write it because trust me, we Portuguese are same family, just a bit different, but as Roman I accept, in Rome, be Roman! :-D) Other than that, I love people a bit more to the North or East too -- lived in Eastern Europe as well. Pity their temper may follow their weather. Germany was the most perfect country where I've lived and there are a few of them already.

You need to come when I'll be there and able to show you the best of it. My pleasure and a honor to personally meet the man behind the soul from your posting (no need to call me out, to publicly announce you'll pay me flight and hotel to begin with... LOL ;-) It is my town, even though I was born thousands of kilometers away.

I can't have access from outside US (no proxies nor bit rate from where I am in order to watch the video content for now) but I read the headlines. Unbelievable, isn't it? I recall when in Rome something similar happened with me (that was my foot instead), I had better luck though because the subway train had given signs to start to run anyways. But, that was a train conducted and driven by someone not there, not people side by side as a camera shootout!

I see you are clueless to whom you address your words. Go to his YT channel to see his entries before to infer anything, it is better ;-)

You are a good old sailor, so you give more in a post of yours than the output coming from hundreds of videos posted on YT by kids clueless on what they actually do ; ) Without mention their messages published there ;-)

Well, I bet we can minimize the issue with the right shutter speed anyway. Nice news on the overheating. That said, no idea why they don't call it a 5K video camera, after all... This camera puzzles me each day more; I think she is completely underrated... I find it even worse because it is by Panasonic marketing reps almost all them included, they should be the first ones to announce it to the world and this AF buzz episode only confirms my impression... Reason enough for them to clean the house, they do too little for this product... Joseph is a photographer, not a Panasonic rep; old dvxuser is also gone today with Jarred on RED; it is a shame I know all this information coming from another user on EOSHD (Andrew's brand agnostic corner or not!)

I didn't, I am not at home, I am with limited internet from here : ) 3 hours? WOW. And doesn't it overheat before to reach that? Some other helpful information I guess easy to confirm: 6K Photo mode works with electronic shutter, right? So, no wearing trouble later in the camera using 6K Photo mode, I guess. No shutter worn out in a few takes, I believe. And what about silent mode and that video I posted up there before? Have you checked any hassle out of it?

6K Photo mode seems rather interesting for video acquisition. The only information I am wondering about on the subject matter is how long 6K Photo mode (in both resolutions 4992 x 3744 in 4:3; 5184 x 3456 in 3:2) takes and how many seconds or minutes...

Touch to focus on the screen?

5184 x 1.33 (anamorphic adapter) = 6894,72 (2:1) actually 7K 5184 x 1.5 (anamorphic adapter) = 7776 (2.25:1) 4992 x 2 (anamorphic adapter or lens) = 9984 (2.66:1) that is 8970,58 (2.39:1) actually 9K Pretty interesting if you want a grab printed from a large format printer... BTW, is there any sort of AF going along the 6K photo mode? (I guess they've named it like that because of its usage on anamorphic video)

4992 tops wide, no matter the ratio? Just curious on the extra potential use of it as far as extension of a possible shot concerns.

My hat, had no idea. Actually, they should call it more 5K, once it is 5K wide, right? BTW, how many pixels wide? (only 3:2 and 4:3 ratios, correct?) Have you tested how long lasts before the overheating warning pops up?

Really very beautiful... Such sorta cinematic look, even when the highlights are there, go figure... If there was some way to workaround that circle bokeh (anyone there with any suggestion for a filter?) as happens when the subject not in focus only gives the blur without the circle bokeh, that would be a hell of a lens...

So, I guess they should call it 6K Film (MOS*), no? * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOS_(filmmaking) (well, a film camera has no sync audio capture anyway, but it gives an idea on it)

BTW, once you have one GH5 unit too, would you mind to perform the test I've also asked to Ken? It would be nice to check out the findings from both of you :-)

How many seconds?

You mean tap to focus or that joke from that video? There's no magic button at all, AF system either. From older Panasonic technology, much harder to succeed. But, if touch to focus will be reliable without hunting, for sure, we can set the GH5 AF system under certain circumstances at convenience and make it shine when necessary. BTW, you have a GH5 unit with you. Do you mind to test it? Please, not the fastest settings like MY, OK? You have no need to keep previous tests reliable either... ; ) Your earlier tests will always match :-)

If 4K/60p or/and external recording helps, so why not too if we're looking for the best automatic or semi-automatic focus setup to work out?" Let's see if that makes it happen!
