I've been shooting video with the FZ series for several years, but my first G (GX85) arrived today. WOW! What a difference! THANK YOU for this tutorial, insightful from various angles. (No pun intended!) LOL The manual is pretty good (as far as manuals go), but watching videos like yours with camera in hand just feels more effective. Thanks again!
It’s amazing how many new videos out out recently with this gx85. I was thinking of getting this instead of the g100 do to ibis and size. I have a g95 now
I had a gx80 that I sold back in 2019, which also had a thumb grip. I just bought a new with only seventeen clicks yes seveneteen. including 12-32mm for 120 dollars .My question is where did you get your thumb grip from
cheers Alex, i need to use my custom settings like yours since I hardly utilized that function right now but seeing how you do it made me realize how convenient it is lol
I just ordered this camera. I plan on shooting my own music videos and podcast. I think I made a good first investment. What would be some good wide lenses I can purchase for my camera.
How to turn off constant notifications from body Lumix GX80 about setting proper focal length (35mm - I use manual lens Arrisans 35mm 1.2 )? Always from sleep or turn on asking me. Thank you for help
I don't think it's possible to deactivate that notification. I think as soon as the camera detects a manual lens on the body, the notifications will always pop up..
Hey man thanks a lot for the detailed explanation. I was very close of getting this, it seemed like the perfect camera for me, when I came across a lot of people complaining about it's 1080p being very soft and not good quality. Can you testify to that? Or is it better in AVCHD as you mentioned? Does it hold up to grading pretty okay? The thing is that I have a sony a6000 used with mostly vintage lenses, which has beautiful 1080p but can overheat, not to mention there is no stabilizations which makes filming with old lenses almost useless. That is why I want this camera mostly, because of the stabilization, but I do not want to step back in terms of quality compared to the sony (and if possible not be forced to use 4k every time.) Thanks
man, just check the other videos on this channel. The 1080p in AVCHD is so good that it's on par with GH5 in .MOV. Sony a6000 series have horrible rolling shutter and no IBIS, you will hate your life trying to stabilise it in post.
@@justalexhimself Thanks for the fast reply, this is what I needed to hear. There is a good deal near me in a pawn shop for a gx80 body only for 177 pounds, I think I will buy it. Whish I could get a gx85 with unlimited recording but this should be okay as well. :) Also I think I will sell the a6000 if the gx80 equals in photo quality as well. I was thinking of getting the canon m50, but is more pricey (around double the price), it has it's pro's and con's compared to the gx80, but gx80 seems better overall deal
@@sztomi90 fyi : gx80 and Gx85 are the same thing. Just one name is for the American market and one is for Europe. They both only shoot 30min video. But that's plenty. 177 Pounds is a good deal. Go for it
Hi I just bought this camera for my student films, I’m planning on using an audio sync system so I’m not going to use the microphone on the camera at all, but I can’t find a way to turn the microphone off completely, is there anyway to do that? I’m guessing not cause I can’t find any info about it online but if anyone knows any tricks, please let me know it would help a lot.
Just record with the in-cam mic -AND- the remote solution (both). Then it's easier to sync in post. (then in post, after things are in-sync, just mote the camera audio)
I really wish the GX80 stored video and still photography preferences separately. Hybrid shooters have to change so much on the fly, I've begun to carry a separate camera for photography.
thanks for this quick review. So a few questions, does the quality differ at all between this and the GH5? If not, this would seem like the better option since it's smaller/lighter form factor..?? what lense would you recommend for product review, ie. anywhere from a few feet, to up close to the object, with the ability to blur the background for tight depth of field? Cheers
The quality differs due to bit rate. In the GH5 you have some higher bit-rate options and .MOV format which helps if you're filming action / fast movement shots where there is a lot of movement. Also If you want to do some heavy colour grading - the GH5 is better. But for "normal" product review vids, the Gx80 is amazing. Get the 20mm f1.4. It's my favourite combo!
Great help! As a beginner I have a huge question which may sound silly but here I go... I have gx80 too, and I only have 25p/50p options. However I bought this camera because it allows to shoot with 60 fps, so that I could have slow motion effect by lowering it 24fps. But I don't know what to do with that 25p/50p. So how can I make that slow motion with gx80? I am totally confused and disappointed..
So in short: the UK / European versions of this camera shoot in 50 fps max. The US versions have 60p. You can indeed hack your GX80 to get those additional 10 frames per second (there are other tutorial on UA-cam explaining how to do this) but I wouldn't recommend it. In reality you won't see a difference between 50p and 60p. So just shoot in 50fps and then slow it down in post production to get the slow-mo effect :)
Thank you! :) Hmm personally I would go for the 12 - 60. I really like how the 12mm looks in some situations, and 60mm on the tele end is plenty zoom for most cases!
@@justalexhimself Thanks!! I've been confused for a while . Looking at your work especially the gh5/g85 composition,color grading it's really amazing. Hats off🙏👍
Hey! :) First of all thanks for the video, it's very helpful! But I had 3 questions :) 1) How did you get access to the FHD 24m 24p mode, I just don't have that, maybe it's because of the firmware version? I have 1.2. 2) Through what "color space" do you display video during editing? I work in DaVinci and use Panasonic V-Gamut in Rec 709, but it seems somehow very contrasting and saturated, but I could not find anything more suitable. 3) Is shooting in 4k with this device generally relevant? For I had a couple of attempts and the video was with some jerks, as if I was shooting at 15fps, well, either I find fault :) I will be glad if you answer! P.S. sorry for my English, I am a native speaker of Russian and I wrote it all through google translator: D
Hi! thank you for your comment. OK so: 1. You need to put your camera to record in AVCHD mode not MP4 (which is what it's set to straight out of the box) 2. I can't answer this because I edit in Premier Pro... so I don't se the colour space to anything, I just see whatever premier shows me. 3. No, I don't think there is an advantage in shooting in 4k. The bit rate is too low for 4k for the most part and so the image breaks. If I were you I would just stick with shooting in 1080p ;) Hope this helps :)
@@justalexhimself yes, a little later I realized that there is such a mode in AVChD, you answered all the questions) the only thing that does not leave me alone for the second day is whether this mode is really better than mp4? It seems that I did several tests and did not notice much difference :(
@@ThirtySixCrew it's better, because if you check the file sizes AVCHD takes up more space on the memory card and is therefore less compressed than mp4, so in theory it should colour grade better :)
@@justalexhimself Apparently there is only a difference in shooting at 25p, because at 50p there seems to be no difference :) in any case, thanks for responding! good luck to you!
Hello nice tutorial you have there def gonna try if i buy gx!! ı looked your videos abit most of em are not 4k is it because of camera's limitations or you prefer that way?
Nice tips ! But do you know if it is possible to have a normal profil for photographies and having a flat (or look alike flat profil) for videos ? I tried your settings and they were good for video, but these settings are kept for photos...
Yeah for photos it's a bit of an issue. I suppose just flip your picture profile to "vivid" or any of those other profiles. Sorry, I can't really give you a good answer for this question because I don't shoot that many stills... If anyone else here has any suggestions - do let us know!! :)
One easy way is to hold down a function button which will bring a list of things you can change it to. Scroll down until you find level guage and click set.
you need to set those settings in Manual Movie mode, and then save it to C1. If you set settings in P or A or S, it will save the auto-exposure setting too
Do you experience video juddering when panning? Diagonally in particular. My gx85 has that problem which drives me nuts. Thx. I think it’s more obvious with Olympus 45mm
Hey, no, I don't experience this problem personally. But I know this was an issue on the G80 a few years ago. There is a firmware update for the gx80. Try installing it and maybe it will fix the issue.
Hi Alex, Appreciate any suggestions on using the 12-32 lens (I got the GX9 and that lens came with it). Is your video changed from 16:9 to a wider view during editing? I am a complete newbie and have been trying to get that Cinematic look. After lots of non stop test shoots I've found the CineD profile to show lots of noise in dark areas near dusk and stuck to CineV. Ive set the movie mode to "A" profile so its aperture controlled...I found the manual option confusing. Is that what you use? Also...I find the manual confusing when it explains how the focus works...can the camera auto focus on any scene without have to press the shutter half way day?. Appreciate your advice
Hi Abi, thanks for reaching out. In relation to your questions: 1. No, the video is always in 16 x 9 (1920 x 1080), if you want an even "wider" look, you can change your resolution in the editing software and set your sequence to 1920 x 817, this will make the aspect ratio look even wider by cropping off the top and bottom. 2. Yes, I agree with you CineD does introduce a lot of noise and colours look a little too washed out... I too only use Natural or Cine V nowadays. 3. You should try to learn how to shoot in Manual. Even in "A" (aperture priority) the camera will tend to over-expose things and you will lose detail in the highlights. 4. I will make a video on how to nail focus on Gx80 soon, stay tuned :)
@@justalexhimself Great - very much appreciated sir. I will stay tuned on this. I recently got the GX9 with the 12-32 and am a complete newbie. I was almost about to get te FZ82 purely because of being a newbie you just go for the maddest zoom but after looking into it I decided for GX9 because if the cinema film capability, 24fps and all round quality. I might try out some of those cheapy ebay $100 chinese 600mm zoom lens for this camera, if you can also give out an explanation in your next video about achieving a zoom comparable to bridge cameras. I normally compare zoom to my 10x50 binoculars, so I get the 35mm equivalent and divide by 50 (ie 500mm being equivalent to 10x binoculars? So it would be great understand how to achieve a monster zoom to film the moon or even jupiter. All the best

@@justalexhimself okey, but some options are still inactive, like Photo Style, Snap Movie, Rec Format, Rec Quality and some others.. It is my first camera and figuring it out really makes me confused... :(
Welcome! Yeah, sure. Try those settings with your lenses too. They should just give you a flatter look for colour grading. Worst case scenario, you can always change your settings back :)
@@justalexhimself thanks for the info. Will try tomorrow morning. Is a low f-stop lens necessary to create good depth of field in situations like "soap opera" type of conversation scenes?
@@thatsreallyamoon the low f stop helps a lot. But if you don't have a low f stop lens, take your 45mm lens, and place it close to your subject at the lowest possible aperture and due to the lens compression you might still get some depth of field :)
I have a lot of noise when shooting video on Lumix G80, and can't understand why(((( It seems I tried exerything...ISO minimal, so it's not reason of the problem. Can somebody help me with this please?
Are you sure that everything is set on Manual ? Manual ISO, Manual WB, No automatic features enabled, so that the camera doesn't start adjusting things by itself?
Hi, Alex! Thanks for your response. Yes, I'm on Manual mode and adjust all parameters by myself. I also tried auto mode, but picture looks the same, with a lot of grain. After many attempts to understand the reason, I reset to factory settings, but nothing has changed...

@@justalexhimself okey, but some options are still inactive, like Photo Style, Snap Movie, Rec Format, Rec Quality and some others.. It is my first camera and figuring it out really makes me confused... :(
@@edytaOz me too...i'dont understand why. Do you have any solution ?
what do you think about the EVF? is it really as bad as some say?
nah, it's not too bad. A bit small so I rarely use it. But still it's useful in bright light when you can't always see the screen properly.
@@justalexhimself thanks a lot!
Thanks for the video. Would I still keep the same settings if I am on the kit 12-32mm kit lens? And the 45-150mm kit lens?
Welcome! Yeah, sure. Try those settings with your lenses too. They should just give you a flatter look for colour grading. Worst case scenario, you can always change your settings back :)
@@justalexhimself thanks for the info. Will try tomorrow morning. Is a low f-stop lens necessary to create good depth of field in situations like "soap opera" type of conversation scenes?
@@thatsreallyamoon the low f stop helps a lot. But if you don't have a low f stop lens, take your 45mm lens, and place it close to your subject at the lowest possible aperture and due to the lens compression you might still get some depth of field :)
Hey! Great video!
Thank you!
Hi, how’s the thumb grip working out for it? It looks a bit short.
it's not the best thumb grip in the world, but it's better than without it
How does this work in comparison to the CineLike D hack?
I don't know because I've not hacked mine
JustAlex Himself thanks for the super quick reply! Great stuff 💪🏻
This is very helpful. New here
you're super welcome! and thank you for supporting the channel :)
How do you feel about installing the cineD and cineV settings?
Hacked a different camera - and it stopped working properly, so for now I'm using it without the hack
I installed the vine profiles on 4 cameras already and never had any issues
How to on in build flash light
I have a lot of noise when shooting video on Lumix G80, and can't understand why(((( It seems I tried exerything...ISO minimal, so it's not reason of the problem. Can somebody help me with this please?
Are you sure that everything is set on Manual ? Manual ISO, Manual WB, No automatic features enabled, so that the camera doesn't start adjusting things by itself?
Hi, Alex! Thanks for your response. Yes, I'm on Manual mode and adjust all parameters by myself. I also tried auto mode, but picture looks the same, with a lot of grain. After many attempts to understand the reason, I reset to factory settings, but nothing has changed...
Мария Сорокина the only way I have solved this is when I reseted the whole camera to factory default
noise reduction to -5 too, it's mushing the footage with low quality NR, only in post
Yeah I personally like it at -5 especially in higher iso, it looks much better
do you regulate a focal length ? ty for video
I like prime lenses:
1) 20mm f1.7
2) olympus 45mm f1.8
Why not 4K at 100mbps isn’t this camera Capable of that?
4k is in mp4 and has a crop factor. I prefer the 1080p in avchd. Nicer codec to work with for colour grading etc.
Hi, do you make use of ND filters to achieve your shots? Thank you
No, actually I stopped using nd filters a long time ago. All the sample shots that you saw were just exposed with the shutter speed alone :)
@@justalexhimself how about the scene is too bright? You have to bump up shutter speed?
But still your videos look cinematic!
@@endlesswaltz29 yeah I just expose everything with the shutter. Rules are made to be broken ;)
@@justalexhimselfnice! Good to know, no need to for me to buy nd filter to make good films thanks!
Which lens do you use?
Nowadays, mostly 20mm f1.7 and Olympus 45mm f1.8
Thanks for asking - thanks for the answer @JustAlex
What lens?
20mm f1.7 or olympus 45mm f1.8
