Do the skin tones look off to you, Trevor?

Nope, they look gorgeous. Not washed out either. Looks more typical lightbox beauty light. Definite yellow tone to the beak though, but I think that's expected.

All the skin tones seem very yellow, without a huge variance between the yellower and pinker skin tones.  Is this an ARRI 'look'?  Or is this the grade?

What do you use for monitor calibration? I use the Spyder and love it. Highly recommended or everything is off to view. 

Plus there's not much point in using it for photos. It just crops the image by using less pixels which you can do in your editor anyway. For video it's handy because the sensor is bigger than 4k or HD so instead of downsampling a bigger image it can just take pixel for pixel - while the final output size remains the same.

I think the image overall looks smoother if you can reduce the tint caused from the orange furniture. This is what I came up with. Pretty close to the original - a bit more golden. I'm mainly just looking at the skin on memory colors and reducing the red.

Looks pretty off, did you calibrate your monitor and check the white balance? Seems about 10 points too yellow, and 3-5 points too green.

And become like Canon? :-/ :-( 

Oh, by rereleasing the Mavic Pro, except in white, in 2022

Have any of you used a "Line to Mic Attenuator Cable" (passive, resistive padding) with your GH5? My SONY PCM-D100 audio recorder's Line Out is too hot for the GH5's Mic input even when I turn the GH5's audio input gain all the way down. The problem is, I don't know the spec on the GH5's Mic input and I can't find it in the GH5 documentation either. The SONY PCM-D100's Line Out specs are these:
• Output impedance: 220Ω
• Rated output level: 1.7 V
• Recommended load impedance: 22kΩ
• Output level: –21dBm to –15dBm

Here is a -50dB attenuator cable on B&H:

Perfect?  Or would a -25dB attenuator be better?  Do any of you have first-hand experience?  Thanks.

1) A new thread has been started for you

2) you may have damaged the mic stage on the GH5 already. That's a mic input not a line level input.

3) to go from line to mic level you need a D.I. box not just an attenuator. 

4) at the end of the day your recorder is really not designed to do what you are trying to do with it. Record separately, at the same bit rate, sync in post. 

The footage of it (not from it) had it wobbling all over the place despite it being inside. The DJI drones, by contrast, looked like they were on tripods they were so steady. Curious to know if this was just the tracking mode issue or a real stability difference. Also the object avoidance was demonstrated by him walking up to the drone and stopping. ?? Such a dodgy demonstration. The most entertaining part of the whole thing was when the drone in the background area got stuck high up in the net - that was worth seeing.

Hi, is HLG available in 1080p 60p 10 bit. (It is not available in 4k 8bit 60p without external recorder it seems)?

HLG is 10bit not 8bit. And if you wanted to to 60p then I'd suggest 4k cine-D 8bit rather than 1080 10bit hlg.

Oh ok. Thanks. Would you have a link to that video. 

I engaged with it as part of the discussion on one of the tech forums, probably the Adobe forums.

I didn't save the video, and I was unable to find it through a (5 min) Google or Youtube search.

It wasn't about TC. It was that the frames and audio were starting off from a different point. The video was a few frames ahead or behind. 

Anyway, if I find it, I will post it. 

That was back at the GH5 release date and the NLE people hadn't got their act into gear. Was fixed after a couple of weeks. 

Very pretty! I haven't worked out how to mask Glenn's eyes to make the iris pop though.

Ok, you're quite the funny troll

Sothe image from a GH camera will always look more processed and therefore more video-ish. 

You're quite the funny man!

But losing IBIS also means losing one of the killer advantages of the GH5 over Blackmagic - its versatility as an all-in-one, handheld run-and-gun camera. 

Can you remember the last place you put it? My GH5 ibis is still in the camera.

IBIS? No IBIS? What do you bet on? 

Just 7 hours to go. My bet would be has it. 

Incidentally, it's holding the sensor with something similar to magnetic levitation all the time so when you "turn it off" it's still on, just holding the sensor still with respect to the camera instead of still with respect to the planet.

What I mean is detailed sensor manufacturing info. That wouldn't ordinarily come with the distributor brief. It's the kind of info that had to be worked out by hackers for the GH5.

Just guessing based on what sensors are available. If guess A is correct then guess B has to be C. Or something like that. lol

It is sunset even. 

Maybe by announcing this during our night of the 8th they are telling us the camera will have AMAZING LOWLIGHT?

7am tomorrow, the 9th :O

One step back, two steps forward!

Can't do all that stepping without ibis, just stay put on a tripod. No reason to take ibis off though so should be fine. 

Everyone asleep or something? It's 6pm on the 8th and everything is quiet. 

TOO quiet! Dun dun dunnn!

Looking forward to the GH5S, but these Rumors of no IBIS are concerning. Should we be concerned?

11 hours into the 8th here in NZ. Re-engineering is a very complicated process on a camera. If they can simply replace a sensor and main chip and leave everything else the same, like the internal heat dissipation associated with the IBIS then they would. So my bet is the ibis is the GH5 ibis still.

I guess as a director/producer/writer it can be a long hard marathon endurance slog to get your product across the finish line. 

But as a below the line crew person, it can be quite fast paced, you might only get called up the night before, then you do the shoot and wrap, then onto the next project!

Ohh true. The most fun I've had is when you hand it off after shooting. The editing side is where I can get bogged down :p

Thank you @Orangenz!

I started with music long before video so it is easier for me. Video has always been tough, I can do it and I have invested time into it but definitely not something I am head over heels for.  Something about not realizing creative ideas for 3-12 months that doesn't sit well with my ADD. 

Anyone else ever feel that way?  Its great and it's a fulfilling art form but damn is it tedious to see a creative idea from conception to completion.  Maybe it's me but music is infinitely more fluid.

Sounds like why I like photography more. Quicker payoff. Smaller discrete units of work. Less reliant on teams.

So I guess you have something else which is your full time work? 

Interesting how many talented filmmakers there are who are *not* doing it full time. 

Luke is quite the musician

@Neumann Films less than four hours to go...  ;-) 

Or at least that is true for Orangenz and I!

I don't mind a PM :D :D :D

Music and only personal creative video projects...fatherhood.  Definitely a change of pace creatively because I'm not getting it up anymore.

Wowsers, that got personal really quickly :O  

Don't agree with the throw away line about Coke and McDonalds, but otherwise bang on the money. FB & YT are in a race to the bottom with few gems (Smarter Every Day is a good one).
