    The EOSHD Panasonic GH4 Shooter’s Guide

    The EOSHD GH4 Shooter's Guide

    $49.99 buy now (PayPal), with instant download via email

    An EOSHD book, written by filmmaker Andrew Reid.

    The new Panasonic GH4 Shooter’s Guide is for filmmakers, photographers and all users interested in mastering video on the GH4!

    The guide covers the features of the camera concisely telling you only what you need to know and nothing that you don’t.

    There’s a chapter on tuning colour and image response in-camera, for an appealing image straight out the camera which doesn’t need to be graded and one that responds better to grading. Three profiles are offered in the book – Cinema, Graded and Flat. By applying the settings in the book, you can be sure the camera is correctly set for filmmaking.

    This book has been written from scratch and is not simply an updated GH3 guide.
