Yes, if you’re watching from a phone, you definitely won’t notice it. On a PC, there was something visible, but after UA-cam compression, the difference might no longer be noticeable.

Congrats, it's really nice;)

Hi, I would choose the GX85. The main advantages of the Sony are the larger sensor and better autofocus. In everything else, the Panasonic is better-video quality, stabilization, and the cost of lenses.

@GEXAR thank you so much sir 🙌🏼

Honestly, when I tried the S5 after my GH5S, the camera standard for me was completely divided, for the better. Although initially I was skeptical. I recommend you try it if you haven't tried it yet.

If you mean the video with the focus wheel, that video was an example of how it can be done, it's not mine.

Both devices work in real time, so I don't think there will be any problems.

Hi, I think in such cases, you can use auto settings. I’d recommend using shutter priority mode. As for me, I usually rely on zebra and aim to record the brightest possible video. You can set the zebra to 95% and make sure there’s no zebra pattern, but also avoid underexposing, unless you’re shooting outdoors. Sometimes, you’ll have to sacrifice either shadows or highlights when the dynamic range isn’t sufficient.

@@GEXAR Thanks, I'll try what you say.

As far as I know, in filmmaking, scenes are often shot in well-lit conditions with tons of lights, and then the footage is darkened during post-production. I’ve been surprised a couple of times myself when I watched a dark scene in a movie and then saw the BTS, where there’s an abundance of lighting. However, if you’ve shot it incorrectly, I think the only way out is to use noise reduction-or add grain (film grain) to the video.

​@@GEXAR Yes, that is definitely the case when shooting on actual film (celluloid), but I'm pretty sure much lower light levels are used on digital movie shoots - I just watched a video where they were talking about 18% IRE on skin tones, etc.

@@rayafilms I think you're right-digital cameras have changed the rules of the game. Modern cameras have a wide dynamic range, preserving a lot of details in the shadows. Plus, the dual and even triple native ISO settings make a big difference. I believe much depends on the camera's capabilities. I remember shooting with an MFT camera; we needed to create a twilight scene, so we filmed in the morning to avoid noise and then turned it into evening in post-production.

​@@GEXAR Yes, it's an interesting discussion - even turning things down in post can introduce noise, so I guess it's somehow knowing how to get the optimal capture in-camera first.

You are welcome🥸

True! The video I'm filming now for UA-cam, I used my phone because I didn't have a 2nd camera.....And the quality is just crap, I don't even know what to do :D

Agree!

Yes it is.

Yep, it is true. I think on the phone it doesn't matter. You won't even see the difference between 4K and FHD.

M42 adapter to L mount

@@GEXAR thanks for the reply i was impatient and did find out,can i add have you tried out other fun m42 lenses??

@@tusharpanda1307 Yes, I tried about 5 different ones, here is one very unusual lens. ua-cam.com/video/ZTIzAW4SYR8/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/9t2tVFshWls/v-deo.html

Я тогда только начинал учить анг) Я на самом деле не могу свои старые видео со звуком смотреть :0

I'm glad it was helpful😊

@@LucaRazzetti Thank you😊

Thanks!

I had a plan to settle there if the battery ran out😅

The wind was really strong, but it got weaker closer to the surface, so I stayed low. However, I did have issues with the signal - all the smart functions turned off and only came back when I got close to the lighthouse and gained altitude. So you were right; I thought it was just a strange area but didn’t consider the signal reflecting off the water.

Thanks!

I very rarely use a distance of up to 35mm. But yes, each lens has its own purpose, sometimes we have no choice.

Yeah, same as most of the sounds here.

I don't know about Canon, but here's what people recommend for the log: Zebra Level Setting: Set the zebras to about 60-70% IRE for light to medium skin tones. This is a general rule of thumb when exposing skin, ensuring it is neither too underexposed nor too overexposed. Monitor Highlights: For overall exposure and preventing clipping, especially in highlights, you might want to set a second zebra pattern at 85-90% IRE. C-Log2 has good dynamic range, but you need to ensure the highlights aren't clipped by keeping important highlight details below 90%.

Try cleaning the contacts. If that doesn't help, you can write to Panasonic, I think they or the store will replace the batteries.

If you use a v-log profile, it can give red tones, especially on skin. Other profiles have a special color hue setting. You can customize it there for yourself.

There’s no mention of any autofocus improvements in the update list. They haven’t made any changes related to focus. I just saw on UA-cam that they added new tracking methods. Maybe they just didn't write it...

Спасибо Макс😀

@@GEXAR прикольно, можно не пользоваться переводчиком гугл. С приветом из Одессы.

I had the S5 and was happy with everything except the autofocus. I know that 150 Mbps and the MOV format are enough for me. So I just don’t want to overpay for unnecessary features. I bought a second-hand S5ii for 1,200 euros, and for 400 euros, I got a DJI Air 2S. The S5iiX on the second-hand market costs 1,650 euros.....

@@GEXAR I see, I agree the S5II is great value, especially second hand, I am probably going to go that route too. Another question if you dont mind, you said you prefer zoom lenses, any recommendations for zoom lenses that would go with the S5II?

@@farshaxan Sigma 24-70 F2.8, Sigma 28-70 F 2.8, Sigma 28-105 F2.8, Lumix 24-105 F4, they are all good!

@@GEXAR One last question I promise!! You said before that you love bokeh, is F2.8 not bad for bokeh?? I always read to get a 1.4 or 1.8 so a little confused there. Thank you so much for all your helpful tips!

@@farshaxan Of course, the lower the f-stop, the more bokeh you'll have and the blurrier the background will be, but that's not always necessary. Another important parameter is the focal length, the longer it is, the more bokeh you'll get. For example, a 35mm f/1.8 and a 105mm f/4 will have different bokeh characteristics, with the 105mm providing more bokeh due to its longer focal length. The Lumix 24-105 has built-in stabilization and a more effective autofocus, making it an excellent choice for video. Personally, I like the Sigma 24-70 f/2.8. I haven't tried the 28-70 f/2.8 or the 28-105, but I've heard positive reviews about them. The Sigma 28-105 was released recently, so it's still only available in stores. Overall, the choice depends on what you plan to shoot - whether you value compactness and convenience. In any case, you can't go wrong with these lenses!

I always use .MOV, in this format, all of the camera's features are usually available without any limitations.

@@GEXAR sometimes I use Filmora instead of Premier Pro - what I found was that the multi-channel audio from the S5ii doesn't edit or input all the channels with Filmora....but in MP4 format, the audio files are AAC, and for whatever reason, I can edit those and change a two microphone channel input from stereo to mono in Filmora. With Premier Pro - it handles either with ease.

@@DA-lp4rh I usually only use Premiere Pro, so I have no experience with other programs. But I think maybe there are some settings that need to be changed in Filmora.

Thank you, I really appreciate such comments 😊

I've already upgraded to S5ii and in terms of colors and lowlight I really miss it compared to old S5

It seems like my solution might help. I had a similar issue with one lens where it wouldn't focus at infinity, which usually means that the distance between the lens and the sensor isn't set correctly (if the lens itself is fine). I recommend connecting an external monitor to the camera. When I was shooting with the Helios 44, it looked like the video was in focus on the camera screen (because the focus peaking was also highlighting), but in reality, it wasn't. With a monitor, you'll see this more clearly, and don't rely too much on focus peaking. Also, older lenses are often sharp only in the center, meaning if your main subject is off to the side, even if focus peaking highlights it, the result might still look out of focus.

On the latest Lumix cameras you can stream to FHD directly through the app on your phone

@@GEXAR thanks for your reply! Interesting. This includes gh6? Or only the latest models.. anyways I am really looking for a way to do this reliably with zoom or OBS software and purchased a blackmagic ultrastudio card…

Yes, it's all because of the new autofocus. I'm also very upset, the new cameras are much noisier *(

@@GEXAR so I'd expect better results if Im in manual focus, but no change honestly. Canon R5 (not the best 'video' camera with overheating issues, produces super clean video under same conditions)

@@tomastrnkaYT It's quite possible. Canon is still the most expensive and popular brand. Sometimes I think about switching my Lumix S5II to the Canon R6II, but the price always makes me reconsider.

@@GEXAR for photography is it clear winner, but for video (4K)...canon R6 II will overheat - after like 13 minutes, in summer its much faster (R5 does it and R5 II is as bad) That's why I went for Lumix GH7, top tech new camera with so much to offer, I spent 6.6K EUR on it (body + 3 lenses) and now I cant get nice clean sequence out of it. Its not what I expected and also, nobody complains (??), but me. So I was think if my camera is not broken :), or simply its not camera for wildlife...

@@tomastrnkaYT In terms of image quality, try the S5-it's the best I’ve seen (with the Sigma 24-70 f/2.8). The autofocus is terrible, but it's fine for photos. I switched from the GH5S to it. Now I have the S5II, and while I’m not satisfied with the image quality or low-light performance, it’s better than the previous version in most other aspects. Sometimes I even think about getting the S5 again instead of the S5II. Thanks for telling me about Canon, it really put me off buying it, and I don’t recall hearing about overheating in the reviews either.

Уверен что камера поддерживается?

Bs1h, s5mII, gh5mII раніше працювало а зараз ні... можливо потрібно в налаштуваннях дозвіл надати? я вже видаляв і встановлював декілька разів але без результату .. не працює тільки в режимі вебкам

@@msgreoni Попробуете USB порт поменять. У меня такого опыта не было. Думаю вам просто в настройках MAC надо камеру выбрать или в приложение, комп ее не видит видимо просто.

Tether бачить все окей я можу налаштовувати бачу картинку але як веб-камера не працює... Не відображається в zoom чи інших додатках як веб-камера
