Hi @Wild Ranger
Thank you very much for your response. I also brought it to local panasonic suppport center. They replaced the sensor. The artifact is still there. But it makes me feel so much better, that having this issue in camera you managed to create great videos with it.  (I found Youtube channel link in your profile).
Thanks again and have a great day!
Best regards,
Sergio

Hi Sergio, it's been a long time since i had this issue. I have send my camera to panasonic, also tested 2 more models, tried different recording modes, NTSC, PAL, etc. 4k, 6k... Nothing changed, it's there. So a came to the conclusion that it's a fixed noise pattern in the sensor, something that seems all GH5 have. It's a pity but I found it's an issue that rarely bothers, it generally appear when you underexpose too much the image, like any noise pattern.
Since then I had the opportunity to work in several projects with the camera and this have never bothered my again, it's not something that appears in general use.

Likewise - and when it comes time to shoot, it'll be the GH5 (and P4K @Téodor Spencer) for me. Your feature will be amazing, I have no doubt.
Ah, I can't wait to see it! Yea Linear adds that bit of flexibility, which I think was a needed option.
I'll be shooting trees in the sun today, just for fun lol (first chance to breathe)
Indeed, that is that the higher ceiling really 'clicks' with film, I think due to the nature of the color sci, and the halation. Whereas the Sicario ceiling plays to the GH5's strengths, so to speak (btw, try linear )

@Sage i wanna tell you, if next year everything goes great, i'm gonna be shooting my next feature and i'm really considering using the Gh5 with your lut, a really portable and cheap Alexa!

@Oliver Daniel Thanks Oliver. Looking at his previous posts, I think he might be referring to luts for LogC, and was confused about what you meant
I hope people will find it worth it, and consider my own personal investment to get it to where it is today. I believe in doing free updates and personal service because I want people to have the best, and to do right by the people who put their faith in me (no matter what or how long it takes)

Another awesome update, thanks @Sage! Here's some 10-bit 60p stills showing off 1) V-Log w/ Prores PRE 2) Main 3) Linear 4) Properly white balanced Linear. Although I like the warmth of the original "sunny" WB  No luma adjustments on these! 

I shot a music video this weekend, here are some stills using the new V3.
This are from HD slow motion, so there is a little loss in quality. I applied noise reduction to smooth the compression and make the grade more seamless. All was capture with CineD.
The first are with the "Main" lut and then corrected, and the second ones are my grade with LogC.

Here they are with the new V3 Main, and levels set per the Pdf, with WB correction as best I could:

Emotive Color Version 3
Core LogC Details
- Rewrote engine to work at 65x65x65, main files are now at eight times resolution (supporting files processed at that resolution)
- Fine tuned multi-pass/smoothing technique, to achieve absolute smoothness of final files
- Introduced Averaging (averaging two separate measurements/conversions of a light source)
- Corrected LogC rolloff artifact introduced with Verde
- Corrected far magenta-red artifact
Emotive Color Component Details
- Remade EC component to incorporate new Arri primaries  that were quietly revised this summer for Alexa LF release
      (much deeper, more accurate red placement in relation to blue/green, and subtle hue shifts throughout)
- Incorporated 'Sat Lock-Out", like hue lock out, that is fully accurate to saturation distribution between relative hues of Arri RGB primaries
      (corrects excessive saturation of orange/yellow/green in highlights, and under-saturation of blue in shadows)
- Significantly refined saturation model
- Unified EC for both WBs (taking a que from Arri's single R709) [Tungsten has significantly more contrast, higher ideal exposure]
- Smoother rolloff placement in EC component
- Replaced Pop with Linear (no highlight shoulder, better alternative to Arri R709)
 
- Remade all PREs with latest process (at 65, provided at 33) - much more accurate and smooth
- Entirely new PDF (and supplemental waveforms)
- Added Daylight Skintone SBS
- Updated 'Always Already' with V3 (Download 'Original File' - *Avoid watching in Firefox)

@Sage Sure! here are Vlog stills.

Hi everybody!
here i wanna share some stills from a little "fiction/experimental" project I shot with some friends. All this are graded with GHa Log-C.

"Attack" is used so often on the internet it's become an attack just to have a different opinion to somebody.
Indeed it's not an attack on any YouTuber on that list just to point out they failed and have a responsibility. In my understanding of the language, an attack is when you beat someone up in a bar, for example. I have not yet beat Kai Wong up in a bar.

The GH5 is the new super 16mm camera for low budget indie films. 

Main/Soft are low contrast color bases resembling film; it may indeed work well for a retro film aesthetic (as in 'Tilian - Cocky'). For non-standard use, people often use it in unexpected ways that will move away from true Alexa color. There's been a variety; grading before the conversion, using the conversion at a percent strength, using non-full spectrum NDs, using the Lumetri luma curve, shooting HLG/Cine-D over VLog (this is about to improve), grading LogC directly without a display Lut, placing black level very high (above 5 IRE), placing luma brightly (faces above 45 IRE anchor), ETTR into the rolloff, combining the LogC variation with Main/Soft
For Alexa luts, do you mean the Arri display luts for Rec709 etc? I'm going to do SBS comparisons with a variety of Lut options soon. Wild Ranger uses LogC film conversions with GHa occasionally, such as in Basta above
 
 
 

If we are praising the GH5 here...
I would love to share this work i made with it. Loving this camera ♥️
 

Yeah I should try it! I'll be up for giving it a go when I get my new anamorphic sorted out with a clamp.
