    Happens to me to but not 3seconds usually when am in PAL mode and camera doesnt do slowmotion it works perfect asoon as i switch to CINEMA mode it slowsdown to about 3 sec but that could be my sd (Sandisk Pro)

    I always work on pal (I'm in Spain). I do not know if it would be better to work in NTSC to access more ways or could give some problem.

    No one else is eperiencing the recording lag? Press record, camera takes like 8seconds before starting recording?

     

    Using 2x lexar 128gb 1000x for dual card writing.

     

    Happens occasionally, a few times a day.

    I remember that there were already reported problems with lexa's cards in Samsung NX1.

    In my GH5 the lag occurs when the recording stops, it takes about 2 or 3 seconds to stop after pressing the button.

    Voigtlander primes

    SLR magic primes

    Kowa primes

    Olympus Pro zooms and primes

    Olympus 17mm and 12mm

     

    Would they be in order of their preference?

    On manual lenses realm, you won't have access to touchscreen focus... The best workaround to full AF IMO.

    No idea if with SB + Sigma 18-35 on Canon side, you have it or not, though.

     

    To af and touch af I have Panasonic 12-35 Mk1, is the one I plan to use in my Crane or run and shot.

    I would like something to start to manual focus, with the panasonic I find it a hell, I do not know if the sigma would improve the focus by wire for panasonic. The option of Veydra or Rokinon / samyang Cinema is to have a prime with a repeatable focus for video.

    Has anyone used this gimbal with the GH5 yet? I've seen some comments that it might be some difficulty mounting this camera on the gimbal. Seems like the camera is a bit large or something? I'm not sure what the issue is exactly, but I'm hoping someone here can confirm whether there is any problem or not. Thanks! 

     

    I have it mounted and I have not had more problems than with the g80

    @Emanuel You keep saying they should use tap-to-focus and AF-S but I fail to see how one would use that one a gimbal? The big advantage of AF in video in my eyes is when you can't actually manually focus (and remote follow focus is really expensive and hard to do as one man crew when it quickly requires a bigger gimbal) and just put in AF-C (maybe even with face detect) and the camera takes care of the focus while you take care of framing and composition

    I used tap-to-focus with my Zhiyun Crane, simply from the mobile application. I have a "magic-arm" attached with a clip and the mobile always visible.

    Dicen que puede ser utilizado con el GH4, pero eso significa que aceptará 1080p, no 4K. En los menús del G85, se puede establecer en Auto, y se cambiará automáticamente a 1080p o 4K. ¿Hay alguna diferencia si consigo un monitor que sólo acepta 1080p, mientras estoy grabando 4K?

    I think I have read that G80 performs an additional cropping if the HDMI output is set to 1080p

    Not sure if this has been answered but I am having a very tough time balancing my gh4 on the roll axis. I get it balanced so that it stays horizontal but when I move it up or down, it does not stay in position, and returns to the horizontal position. I have tried so many different configurations but no luck. Has anyone got any clues?

    Did you solve it? I have the same problem with a G80 and the Panasonic 12-35

    Another example with the GX85. The shoot was a bit of a disaster! Record company said they needed the video for the next week. We had a Sunday to shoot. Only one venue available. Picked up lights on Saturday. Group arrived late on Sunday. Get to the location and plug in the lights...fuse switches off! We could only use overhead fluorescent lights! Arrrrgh! Anyway, the GX85 held up quite well all things considered.

    Lenses: SLR Magic 12mm T1.6 and Voigtlander 25mm F0.95. A mixture of 4K and 1080 50p

    Gran trabajo.

    1) What is holding you back from getting good images with the Samsung? 2) There are decent zooms in every camera system 3) Unless you're buying an Arri, all consumer cameras suffer from rolling shutter to some degree 4) If you don't swing the camera around quickly, you can minimize rolling shutter 5) if your content is interesting, nobody is going to notice rolling shutter, especially your own children.

    Honestly, although I don't own a Samsung camera, I've seen moving images from the NX1 that are absolutely lovely. I would just hold onto what you've got and ask for help from the community here if you're having trouble getting good image quality. It is unique, and if I could find one here in Vietnam, I'd pick one up in a heartbeat. There is no reason to get rid of a system you spent so much money on just because of a flash. There must be a dealer you can order from in the EU somewhere. Don't sell your equipment. Anyhow, that's my advice.

    The problem is not the camera, the camera is impressive and really gets a professional quality, or that see my amateur eyes.

    The problem is that I do not need so much, for example I had the lens 50-150 F2 that I have practically not used or a Samyan 10mm VDSLR that I have only tried a couple of times.

    In Spain the camera was not officially on sale, once samsung abandoned the market and almost everything is second-hand.

    I have already sold the whole team for 3500 € and I want to spend more or less half on another more modest team but also do things well.

    Why is it a 'great downgrade' for an amateur to go from the NX1 to the GX85? The GX85 is a great little camera, and it has one important feature lacking on the NX1. Would you mind sharing with us the reasons why you spent an entire year accumulating an NX1 system, then suddenly, you're selling it all? I thought only doctors and lawyers spent $2,000.00 to purchase a camera for family pictures.

    My English is from google translator, I do not know if I will explain myself very well :-)

    When I bought the NX1 with the lenses of the S range I thought I would have time and needs that I do not have now. 

    Nx1 is a great camera but I always have the feeling that it offers a lot more than I can get it, besides finding for example a flash in Spain is practically impossible, the secondhand market is almost as expensive as new.

    I do not like having a camera / lenses of more than 3000 $ standing in a closet many months in a year

    I wouldn't get an gx85 just for family use. Why not get like a SONY RX10 ? I have the G85 by the way. 

    I have a RX100 V that is really the camera for the whole family, I would like an interchangeable lens for those few moments in which I can stop to make a photo or a video.

    At the moment with 3 small daughters I think I almost make 80% video and 20% photo.

    With the NX1 what I have had sometimes is gelatin effect having to follow my daughters running through the park for example.

    I would need a camera with a decent zoom lens that does not have that jelly or rolling shutter effect

    its somewhere in the middle between the xc10 an the NX1 for me. It is sharp without being oversharpened like the GH4. Not as much resolution as the NX1 but this isn't a bad thing, the image looks more organic than the nx1. Also it doesn't give you crazy artifacts due to NR above ISO 500 like the xc10 ! Overall I like it, it definitely looks better with nikkor glass due to the speedbooster. The speedbooster adds extra character to this glass I can't quite explain it but long story short I love the g85

    I wanted to ask you already that you had the two cameras, NX1 and GX85.

    For an amateur it's a great downgrade to go from the Nx1 to the GX85. Always thinking about a family use, is the GX85 a good buy or better wait for the GH5?
