Lumix GH5 Downloadable Footage

Hey Luke, any chance you can test out the 4K time lapse mode?  I'm curious as to whether the video file can now be saved as 10 bit 4:2:2.  That feature alone would save me a ton of work in post.  Specifically the 2 fps speed in 4K creative mode/variable frame rate (conformed to 24P playback).  Thanks.

I will say again, at the risk of repeating myself a million times: I have also owned five Panasonic cameras; they are supremely video-centric, and even the lowly G7 is capable of being used in productions: Panasonic could have released these upgrades incrementally over a period of years; that they packed so much into a camera at this price point is nothing short of miraculous: but codecs and bits aside, the color science of the GH5 is still unmistakably Panasonic. And since I can still dream, my ideal camera would be a GH5 with something like the X Trans sensor.

you 're right panny modified new cfa from 2*2 to 6*6 that color may like x-trans sensor!!!

Hi Neumann, could you check please what is the bit rate of the H.265 6K Photo file?

Expand  

Keep in mind it will likely change and the feature isn't even properly working (I get a green screen in all software).

244Mbps in 6K/4:3/30p.  As of right now.

No VFR in any of the 10bit options on the build that I'm working with.  Seems like the lower ones should be able to be added.  Makes sense to me, I will make a feature request.

On the playback issue: FCP X 10.3.1 on newest, maxed-out iMac plays back all files at full quality. Noticed some stuttering, conformed the framerates using automatic speed, they seemingly ran smoothly, still so with V-Lut and one instance of CC. Checked stop playback when frame skipping occurs (or so, german FCP X), and playback did stop a second or so into the file. XML'd to Resolve: files are missing! Transcoded everything to ProRes then. As expected, no issues then. But note that some stuttering will be normal for files that are thrown into a *desktop project" with differing framerates. 

On the colors: I am not very enthusiastic about the DR (knowing A7Rii, FS7 and BM footage). Skin looks decent, but the green of the trees doesn't look right. What I would like to see in further shots by Neumann: not V-log, but just a quick comparison of all standard picture profiles (or however Pana calls them). Please make sure sharpness and saturation are dialed down somewhat, disable iDyn and iRes and all that stuff. Sorry, I don't know the right names, it's been a long time since my GH2 experiences. With Sony I'd rather go with "Cine4" (a little flat, looking like C100's C-log) to avoid a lot of problems with weird colors, noise or banding (the latter of course not to be expected in a 10-bit clip). Thanks for the clips!

I think I'm done with tests at this point.  We might do something in anamorphic but that will probably be it. :(

You're saying the Panasonic is going to give us color science comparable to Fuji? I read in the Wall Street Journal this morning that McDonalds is going to open a bunch of franchises selling kobe beef burgers, too.

Too bad. Does anybody know about such a comparison so far? Like this:

But Panasonic doesn't have film simulations... :flushed: Fuji was the first Japanese producer of photographic film, while Panasonic started out as a maker of lamp sockets and bicycle lamps.

Version 1...lol.  Well, now I'm excited to see what dual IS actually looks like.

On screen I had dual IS notifications the whole time?  Seemed more stable than lenses that clearly had no IS.  I am pretty sure V1 had working IS.  

Expand  

That's good to know - I don't have to replace my lenses. :D

Thanks Luke!  And huge props to Panasonic for going "all-in" with this cam and even encouraging more feature requests... they've earned my $$ for sure.
