  • Slow motion test footage from the Panasonic Lumix GH6 mostly handheld with the Panasonic 100-400mm at 4k 120, and 1080 240 and 300 fps.
    Shot in VLOG and edited in Davinci Resolve 17. Added the V-log to V-709 LUT with basic color corrections. Sharpened and stabilized in post. Used the Weebill S gimbal on a few wide shots but everything else was handheld.
    Lenses: Panasonic 100-400 f/4-6.3, 42.5 f/1.2, 10-25 f/1.7, Laowa 7.5 f/2
    Some closeups were recorded at VINS Nature Center in Vermont.

    Great Video. Thank you.
    Switching from Canon to Pana Lumix S5 II and 2 bodies, would you recommend 2x S5 II and also with Sigma 60-600mm for Tele or 1x S5II and 1x GH6 with 100-400mm as Tele and for video and photo?

    • @benhikes
      @benhikes  Рік тому +2

      I think the GH6 lens options would be lighter. It also has marginally better stabilization and that 400mm is 800mm full frame equivalent. But it looks like the S5 II has better image quality and autofocus. It really depends on your needs. Having both cameras with different types of lens mounts seems inefficient.

      @@benhikes Thank you Ben. 🙏 I think I will go out and try the 60-600 and the 100-400 side by side in a shop. GH6 would be also great for 4K 120. So sad that the S5II cannot do that. Maybe they are 'holding it back" for the S1H II / S2H Camera!?

    • @benhikes

      No AF at 1080p 240fps. I think AF only works at 60fps and under.

      The closeups are on the Panasonic 100-400 and all handheld with I.S. Lock turned on. I used some stabilization and sharpening in post. The wider shots are mostly Panasonic 10-25. I'm coming from the G85 so it's been a really nice upgrade.

    Lovely shots. But it feels very desaturated. Almost V-Log like, rather than a 709 image.

    Hi
    You used autofocus or manual focus? If you used autofocus which kind of autofocus you used?
    Thanks

    • @benhikes
      @benhikes  2 роки тому

      I didn't use AF. I used the back button focus in manual mode and then small manual adjustments with the focus ring on the lens. Peaking turned on helps nail focus.

    Great stuff. Not what I'll be shooting with my gh6, which only enhances my appreciation of your work. I may have missed it, but did you mention how you handled focus? At 400 mm I’m sure your depth of field is quite shallow. I notice your shots are in better focus than many other GH6 samples up here.

    • @benhikes
      @benhikes  Рік тому +1

      I use the push button AF with peaking on. That usually gets me close. Then manually adjust the focus ring from there. The lock stabilization mode is handy at 400 mm. I also sharpen in post if the shot is a little soft.

    • @lanceevans1689
      @lanceevans1689 Рік тому

      ​@@benhikes Thanks Ben. You mean the "AF ON" button on back? I gather that is simply a rear focus button, despite the name implying it does more. Almost nothing on it in the manual. The peaking is something I would like to nail down. As a few YTers have mentioned, and I gather you are echoing, peaking doesn't seem to always nail tack sharp the way it should. I have to see if engaging the "enlarged live display" option helps.

    • @benhikes
      @benhikes  Рік тому

      @@lanceevans1689 Yes the back button "AF ON" is the button I use to get quick focus. I also like using the MF Assist "Press Joystick" option to punch in and check focus.

      @@benhikes Yes, although that only seems to work if you are in video mode, manual focus...etc. There is so much in this camera, and a fair number of mode compatibility issues. It's taking a while to get a solid handle on it all (speaking for myself!) Thanks for your feedback.

    Sorry to bother you, I bought a 100-400 lens and at 400mm, when focusing on infinity, it makes buzzle sound (recorded a video today). Please tell me, is this the normal state of the lens, or a defect? ua-cam.com/video/aufG7GPjA2M/v-deo.html

    • @benhikes
      @benhikes  2 роки тому +1

      Most of this is under 800 iso but I probably shot a few low light scenes up to 3200 iso. 6400 iso is pretty clean too but I try to avoid it.

    My feedback.
    1. Music level going up and down is turn off since it move the attention of the viewer from viewing the video to turn the music down.
    2. I think nature film should be sharpen and vibrant to the extreme all successful series of National Geographic and BBC are.
