    Well isn't that what the ultra is supposed to be? 
    The XL would obviously no longer fit.

    In case the poster who asked the question gets confused I do not recommend a GH4 + an external recorder with the new GH5 coming out in a few months.

    The GH5 is around the corner why would anyone recommend a GH4 + an external recorder?
    GH4 cameras are going to be offered like hot dogs at lunch time in Manhattan for dump prices once the GH5 ships.

    Can you link to some of your work then? Just for me to see what "progress" really means. You don't need to post the links here, you can PM me.

    I think you are mistaken, IBIS is based on the actual focal length of the lens which is smaller in case you use a speed booster.  The crop factor is not relevant.
    But someone from Metabones should probably give the last word on this.

    Most of the photographers I work together with at weddings are professional, a few have been award winning for whatever that is worth but every single one of them uses either a flash on camera or has 2 separate flashes which they place separately or clamp onto something and which remotely are triggered from their camera, often they also use such an umbrella or whatever it's called. Now I don't have any experience shooting photos but when I look at some of their work, they certainly know what they are doing because their work is stunning. I"m not going to link to some of these photographers here but if you want I can send you a few links via pm so you can judge for yourself.

    Hey everybody! I don't know if anyone would be interested in trying this but I just wanted to make sure I'm not seeing things.Ok I decided to experiment with 4k cropping mode but instead of using it for panning or zooms I used it to shoot 1080 30p video,meaning I set the start and end points of the mode to cover the full area of the lcd screen "images below". 


    As I understand it in this mode 1080 30p is scaled from 4k in camera which gave me the idea to compare it to regular avhd 30p.First of all when shooting in 4k cropping mode you're limited to 20 or 40 secs and of course it's 30p. Long story short I have found the 1080 30p from the 4k crop to be visually superior to regular avhd 30p with the down side of a slight crop. I don't know if this would be of any use to anyone but I found it to be very interesting if someone wanted better 30p sotc. It would have been great if this mode allowed shooting in 24p to give a better 1080 image but considering the modes intent I get why the framerate was left out. Lastly I would be interested in those with 25p cameras to do the same test to see if you get similar results.

    You would enter the actual focal length of the lens (or of the lens + booster as a package).
    Native lenses are of course labeled with this, although you don't have to enter anything for electronic native lenses, as they communicate with the body.
    For non-electronic native lenses (Voigtlanders, Samyang/Rokinon m4/3 lenses, etc), you would have to manually enter the lenses' stated focal length. Same for any manual glass with a plain (non-booster) adapter.
    For boosted lenses you would enter (lens focal length X speedbooster power), so for instance for a 50mm lens with a .71x booster you would enter 35.5mm (50mm X .71 = 35.5)- or the closest option in the IBIS menu.

    I suspect the wide short is a different model/brand camera.  The levels do not match.

    Cary Knoop got a reaction from kidzrevil in GH4 downscale/transcode voodoo from 2014   
    When you down scale 2160p 4:2:0 properly you do get 1080p  4:4:4. 
    Whether it is really 10 bit is arguable but it is certainly better than 8 bit.
    You are not limited to using Cineform you can downscale your source with Avisynth or Vapoursynth and for instance encode it with I-frame only H.264.
    However I have problems with H.264 10bit 4:4:4 sources in Premiere Pro 2017, but in Resolve they work just fine.

    That's great! This is a trailer for something not yet made, right? What I particularly liked was being pulled into the story and no longer looking at the colours. Very unusual for EOSHD ;-)

    Great work!
    One thing though, your black level floor is raised. 
    If you want to get more shadows you should expand your shadows but if you simply raise the floor the only thing you will get is more compression artifacts and washed out dark colors .
