Its often mentioned in the press that the 2nd SD slot may be used for recording proxies, but I find no mention of this in the manual. To those with the camera, is this possible?

Not yet, but we should post this as a request for the future fw update.

Few things I noticed on the tweeted picture:

- Has a NEAR marking, so it'll probably have a FAR marking as well, so does not look like a step up from the previous versions. 
- The previous 1.33x 40 had a 82mm front thread, this one has 62mm, i suppose the back will be 50 something.
- It is a common problem to make a 1.33x adapter with which you can shoot wide open. Some series of the Centuries can do that, but SLR Magic failed in the past so I don't have high expectations, you'll probably have to stop down to F2.8-f4
 

I would love to see a prosumer anamorphic adapter which is similar to AGFA 1.5x, commonly known as Moller 19/1.5x, small, lightweight, focusthrough, great IQ even at wide open.

Also, I have to admit that SLR Magic's communication style and strategy really bugs me. Seriously, is it that hard to make a nice website with full of information? Give me an anamorphot and I will help you out with that :D

I think it will be live at NAB!

Luke, are you still there? Because we're still waiting  

Just popped up in my feed!

Get the firmware update here:

FHD 4:2:2 10-bit video recording has been added. It can be selected in either FHD [MP4 (LPCM)] or [MOV] recording format.

4:2:2 10-bit video recording has been added to Anamorphic (4:3) mode.

There was a problem in which the exposure adjustment did not operate properly during live view standby when the [SS/Gain Operation] display was set to [ANGLE/ISO] while [Variable Frame Rate] was selected for Creative Video mode. This has been fixed.

A problem in [V-LogL] of Photo Style mode where afterimages appeared when recording video under high ISO sensitivity settings has been fixed.

Guys what do you think?

I can not decide if to shoot with LIKE 709 profile or VLOG. I did a short test:

 

Is the v-log graded with Panas 709 LUT?

what are his settings? i bought his lut pack still testing it out. does anyone know the name of his lut where he films his wife in, theres so many luts to sort through

I meant these settings, "pseudo log" using master pedestal level, etc. 

To everyone who already activated V-log:

Have you tried to tweak your GH5's picture profile with the James Miller (like) settings? I tried to use a similar setting on my GH4, but it was a mess. Now, that the GH5's got 10bit, can you increase the dynamic range just by tweaking the camera settings?

Thanks!

AFC in VFR mode

I always bet on hybrid stuff... cameras, modes (AF, that is, but based on touchscreen focus for sure and MF too, oh yeah, no machine will decide where focus is better than me ; )

But, you still have marvelous 4K/60p, count on it! :-)

 

4K/60fps is interesting only in anamorphic mode, otherwise I had no need for it

Anyways, AF in VFR won't work, according to the manual, but at least I made the TAP focus work, however I got very different result than the forumers stated in your links, hunting was present. Tried out the FOCUS PULL feature, it will be a lifesaver.

@funkyou86,

I am wondering on tap-to-focus accuracy able to be free of any hunting as due, if you're willing to add your findings under different circumstances might be pretty useful:

No GH5 here, yet.

Thanks for the links. I am still unable to set any kind of AF in VFR mode, also can not set the "tap to focus" feature. This whole AF sh.t is not very user friendly :D manual focus still works the best :D I planned to invest in to some MFT lenses, but if VFR can not do the trick, then I see no reason for it

Seems, it is not available in that mode. In any case, try to see the tap-to-focus feature (AFC mode).

Thanks, will check the manual for that.

I really did not dig in to the AF system of the camera, now I got Vario 12-35mm lens for a limited time, but I can not get the AF working in variable frame rate mode. Any tips on that?

And they just dropped this yesterday.... wish there was a way to use it with the motion module but no go.... ah well, picked up the slider one, motion module, flex tilt 2 combo and it's all I need. Great compact kit! 

 

Looks awesome, but for 3K? Come on, give me a break.

If you don't know HTML, you won't know how to handle wordpress. WIX is okay if you're not into coding, otherwise, get a 15USD html template from themeforest.net, you only have to replace the (placeholder) texts.

Acted like what? There is a solution to the scan lines but despite the heady promise of the video title they didn't show it. I'm not sure what Matt was thinking on this one, heh. 

Acted like shown on the video, there were scan lines in silent mode.

The solution from panasonic shown here?... don't use silent mode for pictures lolol

GH4 acted like this as well.

That is a heavy rig! How much does the flare canon weight?  Keep the videos coming!

I would love to hear about your experience shooting 180fps indoors, what are the best settings IYO to avoid flicker. I did not have the time to experiment with the synchro scan option.

I was on a documentary shoot yesterday, again and at the end I decided to go with the 12-35 f2.8 for the B-roll with dual IS + AF. I did not set anything before the shoot, just popped on the lens, scrubbed trough the menu to activate focus and that was is. I was shocked. The dual IS was a lifesaver, all my gear, the slider, the tripod, the rigs were packed in to the car, so even with handheld I pulled off great tracking shots and slider-like shots. The CF worked okay, not as a 6500 but kept the focus on my subject all the time. I never thought about investing to MFT glass, but after this experience I am definitely getting a 25mm and a 45mm lens. Will do my best to upload some samples next week.

I meant the lights tripods (at the right there is one quite visible), not the camera's! and I was wondering about the LED panels, as they seem to be quite efficient (I see that there are relatively far and away from your subject). 

It must be really a challenge to match so different cameras on post.

50GB for 75minutes isn't bad at all..

Thanks for the info.

Here are the two main lights: 

I will share the two DIY spotlights as well in that topic. They're incredible bright and awesome for lightning the background or to give some backlight.

The biggest challenge was the camera/light placement. We were shooting an oral history with elder people, in old houses where we we only had tight spaces, but this is a subject of a different topic. Let's just say, I am comfortable shooting 8 bit with gh5 for certain type of projects. I really hope that adobe will push out an update for premiere to handle 10 bit files easier.

What were the other cameras+lenses?

How many GB were each interview (for how much recorded time approximately).

You have some quite big tripods there, what lights did you use?

Thanks

On the BTS picture: GH4 with vario 12-35 f2.8 (wide shot) and a Canon t3i with Sigma 18-35 (closeup), GH5 with Pentax 50mm f1.8 (A cam). There's only one heavy tripod a manfrotto 550 with 502 fluid head. I'm using it with a slider as well, so it has to carry some weight.

The 75 minutes shot from gh5 is around 50 GB, and I love the continous recording.

I just had a 3 cam documentary shoot yesterday, here are some frame grabs from the 1080p sequence.

Shot in 4K, 8-bit, Standard picture profile, WB 6000K

Lens Turbo, Pentax 50mm f1.7, set to f3.5

Lens Turbo, Sigma 18-35mm, set to f2.8

You can see that there is a quality difference between the two lenses. Anyway I am satisfied with the results, no crop in 4K is a lifesaver. And here's the shooting setup:

2 spot lights on the back, 2 led panels on the front. 1 wide shot, 1 closeup + the main from the GH5.

@Neumann Films When is your new gh5 ana video coming out? Can't wait to see it!

I am having no issues with my Mitakon Lens Turbo so far (x0.72). Tomorrow is a shooting day, hopfully nothing will screw up.
