    GH4 on Ronin & Low light conditions

    In: Cameras

    Posted

    ​Ronin will defintley not stabilize perfectly with a GH4 and any lens, I believe Sony A7s is slightly larger (?) and I still couldn't get a perfect balance either, which is the reason the "M" version was just released. One thing you can try doing is attaching a ring light (about 10-12") around your camera so you can get some nice soft lighting wherever you point your camera to record.

     

    GH4, NX1, etc are very poor cameras in high iso, heck any Panasonic camera is. This is the main reason why people who shoot now run and gun work still use Canon but are slowing switching over to Sony a7s and other Sony cameras. You can rent a 5D, A7s, etc for about $100 for a weekend, honestly that's what I would do if I couldn't light my scene.

     

    Now if you could light your scene and you're doing a production then yeah any modern HD camera will be fine as you can control lighting.

    ​I live in Paris its around 450 USD with the lensm  and Im shooting for a charity with no budget. I just bought the GH4 and saw really nice footage with low lights

     I have the Ronin M and it works fine with the GH4, great not to have so much zait on theshouldersm but still heavy for long shoots.

    My only disapointment so far is the GH4 at 800 ISO and above , I see no diference between the 4 K and 1080, actualy 4 k looks worse;

    But I read and saw footage that GH4 in low light can be really good with the right settings I just cant get to tune it right. Any of you could?

    Please share

    Thanks

    Rent another camera, I simply would not use ANY Small sensor camera if I could not light my scene. This is just another reason why smaller sensor cameras are simply not god for run and gun work and why SO MANY people I know own 5D's but are slowly switching over to Sony with the A7s. Imagine having a base level of 3200 iso as your starting point with the Sony A7s, just think about that for a second...... 

     

     

    Now to answer your question DO NOT underexpose at 1600 and if you have to shoot at 4k 3200 iso and use a de noise plugin when downscaling to 1080p.

    I own a Nikon D800 I will test it, but I belive it is not great either on high ISO, anyways I made my test and I believe I can shoot at 800 ISO, maybe max at 1600 that I will try to avoid .  

    Not to happy with the quality of the Gh4 so far shooting at ISO 800 or 1600. Any advice or reliable link on an article about settings on the GH4 , I have been Googling and got very different opinions.

    thanks

    TSV I belive you made a mistake on your sentence  , il shooting with the Gh4 with a 14-35 lens it works well.

    im planing to shoot with the ronin and Gh4 and  my iPhone 6 attached using the Panasonic App to focus. Have you tried that ? I have been training :) and so far it works well. I made some test and I belive I can shoot at 800 ISO although I'm not really impressed with the quality shoot at 4 k. Please any advice on the settings ?

    Hello !!!

    I will be shooting with a 4 axel gimbal (Ronin M) a gala evening event on poor light conditions, but I believe i can hold the ISO below 1600, hopefully. I will be filling  in with a led light if I its not to annoying.
    I have two questions:

    What settings are recommend so I can reduce maximum the noise and leave a nice file to work on post production?.

    Which focus mode would be recommend since I won't be able to do it manualy. I heard that the APP you can touch the screen & focus ??
    Thanks!

    Final Cut pro X vs adobe premiere pro CC

    I'm a Profesional photoshop retoucher, and latly I'm getting into video editing, very basically I have been using on trial mode FCPX and find it really easy and intuitive to use, by the other hand I just had a  quick look at premiere and it looks quite complex. Please correct me if im wrong.

    i think the advantage  of premiere is integrating Adobe After effects, and maybe photoshop footage ( not sure), that I probably will be end up using. 

    my my question is should I invest in FCPX or should I go with premiere even though it's complexity and higher cost.

    also, do get the same amount of grading plugins on premiere then in FCPX ?  I have seen realy cool gradient effects for FCPX that I haven't seen form Adone Premiere. 

    Please help, I don't know where to invest my time and money 

    Thanks in advance for any feedback.
