Thought I would share this.

I have learned so much on here..

yes auto really is a no no - as the camera will decide to alter the settings when you dont want it to .

Fully manual for making films is the way to go.

set the iso manually -

set the apperture

set the shutter speed

also set the white balance manually too no auto - ever!!

 

now if you have a gh4 you can use the wifi to manually alter settings when the camera is airbourne -

test it first !! on the ground!

Hi Andy.

Thanks for the rely. Slight problem is the speed at which we can adapt the settings. WiFi is an option but the WiFi on the GH3/4 operates at 2.4ghz same as the machine control frequency. It should not be an issue because of spread spectrum technology but when I m at 400m out getting it back in range of the iPad takes time and I may have missed the shot.

Still can't see my post as I aint had one approved yet. How long does that process normally take?

Hi I am new on here and would like to ask some advice on camera settings for flying my GH3 and GH4. Obviousley I cannot adjust the settings once the camera is airborne. We have been caught out a coulpe of time shooting in manual when there has been a sudden light change. Is auto really a no no. Below is an image of the day in question when we had to chase the Steam train along the viaduct.. you ever tried telling a steam train to reset? ;-)
