i legit thought the number one question from us the viewers was going to be "how do you have such luscious and beautiful hair?!"
Dude, this is one of the best and useful videos. You go to the bone (no turns). Incidentally I tell you that the quality of all your videos is incredible and you are very young. Much Future
aww thanks mate! I'm happy to hear this was useful for you :)
The intro sequence is awesome. I especially like how the cuts are synced with the rhythm of the music. Well done.
Thanks Teo!!! At the moment this is my go to camera. I had been trying to figure out the manual-auto focus that a few people have mentioned, but now I understand it! Super helpful for videos, thank you
Ohh yesss - I'm glad to hear that thanks! :D
I have finally stopped using my Nikon D50 and time for a new camera. I have fallen for the GX80. So looking forward to getting it and go out after lockdown 😊 ty for a great video.
Thx for sharing. Good video, informative as well.
Just purchased the gx85! So excited. Was contemplating getting the gx9 instead, but was able to get the gx85 and two lens bundle for 499. As a soon to be beginner, thank you for the easy to understand explanations of the settings.
Sure, I hope this was helpful🤗
Nice! I am Using the GX80 also!
To flatten the video image even more you can select the appropriate inverse S-curve from the "Highlight Shadows" setting.
Interesting video mate! Well done. The GX80 is always my first choice camera. Glad I'm not the only one using it :)
thanks man :))
been using my gx85 for more than 3 years now.
What's the difference between gx80 & gx85?
@@ursulaandrea237 there's no difference. Panasonic just does this to us for extra confusion. GX80 is European market and gx85 is American
@@justalexhimself thank you! I am so confused. I love your videos, btw. they're great!
hey man, really amazing content! Would you please upload a moody colour grading tutorial for the gx80? Thank you :)
Most helpful! Thank you ✌
You're welcome! :))
I just ordered one for myself and I can't wait to get my hands on it!
Ohh have fun!🙌🏼
Are you still happy ?
Just ordered my one yesterday and can't wait.
😁😉👍
@@sacomuna yeah it's a cool little camera although the af in video mode is not good. Use mf for video.
very good video, make things more simple
Very useful, cheers mate
Nice! I'm glad to hear this was helpful :))
great color on the mountain footage
Thanks :))
very helpful!!
Nice vide pal🤛🏿
Thanks mate!🤜🏼
Is to be expected any enhancement in image quality using a Panasonic 14-140mm lens instead of cheaper 40-150mm? Thank you
Hello! I've been trying to get the information through description and comments, but haven't seen it...If there was, oops! With which lenses have you shot the part we see in the mountains with your friend? I'm looking for that look for videomaking, budget is not high so before getting my first lenses (outside the kit ones) I want to consider all the options and pick the one good for me.
Thanks for the reply, hoping will arrive!
Meanwhile I'll still check your gear to see the price range and properties...
Really great, Iv just swapped my gx800 for a gx80 , what about all the fancy settings like idynamic, i resolution, I’m not exactly sure what they do as I am coming from a Sony a7 and canon and mostly shoot manual . and I notice they have some custom shadow curve settings too
I have Cinelike D on my gx85. Tbh I only use normal mode for video mostly night scenes.
Nice one.
Great videos, Teo. Thank you for taking the time to share your passion. I have the GX85 and curious how to get my photography to look like film or emulate the Fuji X100V. Any ideas?
Learn how to edit in LR, that's all :)
Iv just got a new Lumixgx80 and looking for some tips
Hey Teo, love your videos! I've recently bought a GX80 and can't wait to get started. Can you recommend a camera case/ bag for this? I'll be carrying this while cycling, so want something that could withstand a potential fall etc.
No, unfortunately not👀🤷🏻♂️
How do you do a fast camera motion like 0:47 in 24fps without that it looks choppy? I use the 180 degree shutter rule but it still doesn't look as smooth.
Thank you, that AF was frustrating me!
You're welcome! :))
Liked!
Do you think I should get this or the g95. I’m looking for great photos and value
I keep getting a green discoloration in the shadows when I take pics mostly at night. I wonder if it's an inherent issue with the camera, since I don't have that issue when I take the same pics with my Olympus camera.. It really ruins some of my pics.. Any thoughts on that?
easy to understand for complete noob. Ty
Sure! :)
What the best SD card to use in 4k video
Iirc there is a workaround to get V-log on the gx80. Google is your friend.
can we take long exposure pictures with gx80?
Great video. You get a flatter video using natural profile over standard profile though. Everyone usually uses natural profile.
Ohh what - really?? I didn't know hahahah - I've just been using that, because it worked for me, but thanks for telling me - good to know :D
@@teocrawford sure thing. Give it a try, the colors are much more... well... natural:D most people turn down everything to -5 maybe keep saturation at -3 and then do some basic color grading or apply a LUT :)
Thanks for a great video Teo!
My go-to channel for anything GX80-related.
I have a quick question in regards to video recording.
Do you use an ND-filter for video on the GX80? Or do you just set your shutter speed and leave the rest of the exposure settings for the camera to choose? :-)
Hey there, great to read I could help you :)
I don't use an ND-Filter. I always expose everything manually, so when necessary I crank the shutter to morally questionable speeds hahahah. But because I'm a very hybrid shooter constantly switching between photo and video, I don't want to use an ND-Filter, because I would always want to screw it off the lens when shooting photos and then screw it on for videos. It's just not the workflow I enjoy and the high shutterspeed I sometimes have to use are a compromise I accept🤷🏻♂️
@@teocrawford Hahah fair enough! :D
That makes a lot of sense. I've tried setting up the C-mode for 1080 50fps and 4k 24fps, but trying to keep the shutter speeds at the "correct" setting is hard, if you're going for more DoF.
Might try the compromise like you as your GX80-footage looks crisp!
Keep up the good work and thanks for the reply :)
@@teocrawford hello I use ND filters on my GX when shooting outside with fast lens. How do you manage the fact that if you don't use them the scenes become "robotic" without the natural blurriness in video?
@@ili7055 Hey there, sorry for the late answer!
I don't manage it😅 I just go with it. In many situations it's not very visible anyway and when it is visible I just don't really care too much about it😬😅😅
Hey, can anyone solve this. I found that AFS and AFC make no difference in video mode because AFS works continuous until I turn off "Continuous AF" in the menu? Why is that?
Would you recommend lens Lumix 12-32?
do you recommend rigging cinelike-D as opposed to your settings?
my gx80 doesnt allow me to change the "quality" setting to neither raw, or jpeg. it's just the first two options. is it because i have no lens?
#ask does lumix photo fous setting override the video too ? i cang change it separately
Thank you. I have a shoot coming up with a friend and was looking for tips. Do you use Davinci for Color grading ever?
No I only use Premiere, even though Davinci does sound interesting👌🏼
I use davinci, the best free Video editing and color grading programm I think!
Great content bro. Btw, do you shoot on avchd format? or mp4?
Thanks mate, MP4🙌🏼
Hej, just bought a GX80, could you please share some tips with me?
- Do you have electronic stabilization ON or OFF? (noticed some kind of warping in the corner while moving, don't know is it IBIS, electronic stab, or both)
- How do you set your white balance?
- I have some kind of auto-exposure on in a manual mode, how to control it?
- What metering mode to choose for video, multi metering, center-weighted, or spot?
Would appreciate your help :)
Heyhey, I don't use the electronic stabilization, I think the sensor stabilization is really good and sufficient. I either have White Balance on Auto for Photography or on a fixed setting for video. How much Kelvin I choose of course just depends on the lighting :)
I guess the auto-expo you're speaking of is when filming? I believe you can tap the top left botton with the video Icon and change your exposure control setting to fully manual for full control.
Considering the metering question: I sadly don't have an answer to that - I don't know what you mean...
Cheers :)
how about using it on extreme weather condition? can i use it capturing waterfalls?
Hmm I've shot with it in rain and challenged the camera a few times but not for long. I was always careful to keep it as dry as possible, so I cannot guarantee survival😅😂 But if you want to be safe, there are rain covers for cameras on the market, they can help you out🤔
Thanks for this good tutorial. While trying to implement it, I realised that my Focus Mode is greyed out. Any idea on how to correct that? Thank you!
That could be because of the lens you've attached? If it's a vintage lens then you can only use manual focus, so the camera doesn't give you the option to change.
When I go to settings set the camera to standard mode the little side icons on the right are grey I can’t change them
Did you check if your menu dial at the top of the camera was set to video? Some modes, such as in Ai-mode, don't allow you to change that.
Waitttt just a minute, can you give more info on the manual + auto setting??? How is this achieved? Set to manual, ok, any other settings to get there? Just touch the screen to get the focus box? This might be the most important nugget of new (to me) info I found in this video. Also, did you never experiment with the cinelike D hack? That gives a flatter color profile when using video. There are a few hoops to jump through to achieve this, but I managed to set it up on mine. Finally, I'm strongly considering upgrading to a GH5 (that way I can still use all my current lenses). It's not full frame, but seems to be the best value for the money right now, and definitely has the best video features in that price range. I lied, one more thing... I really like most of your music choices in your videos -- where you find them might be a good subject for a future video. Cheers!
That's it! :D Just go into Manual Focus and use the touch screen to get the box :)
Ahh no I haven't..
Oohh yess the GH5 is incredible, especially if you already have your mft lens arsenal!🤘🏼 I've also heard that the new update has drastically improved the GH5.
Oh ok, good to know👌🏼
Teo i am sorry for being annoying))) but because of you i want to buy lumix camera... and i am confused, give me your advice please i can buy GX80/85 but i've started rresearch) and now i know about GX880 and GX9 and LX100m2 if you had no cost restriction what do you choose? Is it possible to take same quality images as you take with GX80 looks like they all share same sensor, same processing? Or there is difference, what do you think.
Thank you in advance.
Hey Teo, I want to get the gx80 as my first camera but I don't know which lens to pick. In my country they either come with the 12-32mm or 14-42mm as kit. Some retailers even include the 25mm 1.7, but then it costs aorund 150 euros more.. I want to shoot a range of different things, there is nothing specific yet..basically I am still exploring what I like to shoot. Any suggestions?
Hey there - I would personally not recommend the kit lenses, they are cheap for a reason :/
The 25mm 1.7 should be really cool, but of course the focal length is pretty limiting (but I would take this one, except you want to shoot wide angle).
But you know it doesn't really matter what you start with, as long as you start💪🏼 If due to financial reasons the kit lenses are the only option, then take them and make the very best you can do with them - you'll still learn a ton! I started with my Dad's DSLR with a kit lens and had an amazing time :)
If I'd have to choose one of the kit lenses I would probably take the 12-32 I think🤔
I hope this helps you out🙏🏼
@@teocrawford yeah sort of, photography will be my main use with video as a side thing, love your content btw!
I have GX80 as well and I wanted to start filming some random stuff I do. The thing is I havent actually used it to film anything and I mainly use it to take macro shots. I only hv the 42.5mm lens and I hv noticed the video quality is really great but it is just too zoomed in for me. I dont have the standard lens that comes with the camera, so what lens would you recommend for me to use to start vlogging? Is 20mm good enough ?
ohh I loooove the 20mm (if you're speaking of the 20mm f/1.7), but I think that lens will not be wide a enough for vlogging :/
I've otherwise only used the Panasonic 14-140mm, but the minimum aperture of 3.5 is not ideal - but it works, so it comes down to your personal preference of course. I there is a Panasonic Leica 12mm f/1.4 or so out there, which is amazing - but it costs a ton, so maybe not in your price range (definitely not in mine :/ )
@@teocrawford thanks lots 🥰
Maybe you can help. When I take photos at night with the flash on it comes out perfect. However if I chose to snap a photo with the flash off it comes out blurry. What could I be doing wrong ?
Are you new to photography? If so you might want to learn about manually setting your exposure. Possibly the blurriness is because your camera is set to automatic and thus the shutter speed is too low, which results in a blurry picture🤔🤷🏻♂️
I hope this can help🤗
Hello, does this device, during long videos, it overheats and turns off ? Thank you !
Hello, when filming 4K video, the camera certainly becomes warm, but I haven't experienced a shut down due to overheathing before. However I don't think I've ever filmed for a very long time. Longest was maybe 20-30 minutes I think.
You're welcome! :)
do you need an automatic lens to access some of those options because my lens is a manual lens and in my gx85 some of the options in the video is greyed out.
Yes exactly - a manual lens doesn't have the technology in it for Auto Focus, so in the camera those are greyed out. And some lenses (e. g. Panasonic 20mm f/1.7) have only Single-AF, but no AF-Continuous🙌🏼
Hi Teo!
Many thanks for sharing your setup. How we enable the level gauge on the GX80? I'm searching on the net but I can't find it.
Best,
You're welcome :)
Are you meaning the audio leveler? If I remember correctly, on your display there are some icons on the right side, which can open small side-menus. One of those I think is the audio level setting✌🏼
@@teocrawford
Thanks for answering!!! I want to say the horizontal leveler to know if you are right with your shooting position. Sorry for my english! Hahahah Do you know what I mean? In your video I can see those but I don t know how to enable them :(
@@alexmarin86am ohh ok I know what you mean! :D I think you need to press the "disp" button (at the bottom right of the camera) By pressing it the display modes will change. Press it a few times to see which mode you prefer and one of them should have the leveler :)
@@teocrawford
Yeahhhh!!
Thats it!!! Many thanks man.
My upcoming hyperlapses says thanks too hahahaha
Nice footage! I have the GX80 and have trouble finding a solution for the 180 angle, like I have on my GH5. Am I correct that you can't select 180 Angle in the GX80? So how do I select the shutterspeed manually? Do I oversee something? I like to shoor 4k24p. Thanks!
Thanks! Ahh yeah, the GX80 doesn't support the angle feature, so you have to select your shutterspeed manually, so for 4k24p that's 1/50.
When you're in video mode you might have to first switch into manual exposure for video, which is a button at the top left of the screen I believe. Otherwise I'm sure you can find it in the Menu🤔🤗
@@teocrawford thanks a lot! Keep up the good work ;-)
Hey was wondering if you could help me figure out how to save videos from the LUMIX FZ300 to your iPhone on the Image App and what settings your video has to be at to do so because for me it won’t let me save videos to my camera roll on images. Thank you if you can that would be amazing!
Sorry mate, neither do I have experience with an Iphone nor have I ever tried to save a video from the camera directly onto my phone - I have no idea :/
Teo Crawford it’s alright thanks for the honest response
and the question is.. to get a gx80 or gx9 for budget hybrid camera????
kyrgeorge which camera did you get?
So I just bought this camera after watching your review!!!!! It arrived today and I am trying to set up the camera like you and I am stuck at the first one :( It's not letting me click ”Quality”
Did you check if your menu dial at the top of the camera was set to a photography mode, such as M for manual exposure? Some modes might not allow you to change the quality.
If that's not it I'm sad to say that I have no clue :/
Teo Crawford It worked!! Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks. I want to buy this camera even though it's 2023
I have the GX85. Why is it so damn hard to set up to have the camera connect with my iPad? I always get stuck on having to log in to the Lumix Club menu - WHAT? like WHERE is that?????
How much post-production / color grading do you do? Are there any in-camera settings which will give footage the same look you get after editing / color correcting your video?
I do a lot🤔
Honestly post production is key in my opinion - the in-camera settings will not bring you so far😬
@@teocrawford Thanks for responding. What program do you use to color correct your videos?
Premiere Pro🙌🏼
👑
🙏🏼
Hi Teo. What lut use for colouring your video after shooting in Standard Flat mode? Thanks
Hello, I actually made a whole video on my grading process including your question, incase you want to check it out: ua-cam.com/video/JnQ2cJluNcI/v-deo.html
@@teocrawford Thanks!!!
Which one should i get 20mm f1.7 or 25mm f1.7?
I don't know.. I've never used the 25mm, but I guess it's good.🤔 Depends on what you shoot and if you'd prefer a slightly wider image. And of course the price - the 25mm is muuuch cheaper I think.
can i shoot a music video wuth this camera gx85
hmm.. well of course you can - but that strongly depends on what exactly you are shooting. For example I would not shoot a music video at night with the GX80, but in daytime this camera can deliver good results✌🏼
Adobe RGB or srgb ? I have problem with lightroom, my photo in raw srgb and lightroom fix color contrast instant why?
I‘m not sure exactly what you mean, but can think of something that might be happening: The problem you describe, do you mean that once you open the RAW image in Lightroom the photo looks all contrasty and ugly? If so, don’t worry - that is normal!
The preview the camera shows you is a Jpeg edited by the camera. The RAW image just contains as much data as possible and doesn’t try to look good. Therefore most cameras have super ugly looking RAW images, which you then make pretty again in the editing process👍🏼
E stabilization on/off ? Thank for help
Can I get microphone for this
The GX80 sadly doesn't have a mic input :/
Hi Teo. Gonna buy GX80 mainly for the video. Can u recommend me a budget lens (200-350$)? Looking for Panasonic Lumix G 25mm F1.7 ASPH, but the stabilization is terrible on this one.
I personally find the GX80's IBIS so good that you don't need a stabilised lens, so the 25mm 1.7 should be good🤔🤷🏻♂️
I personally love the 20mm 1.7 because of it's unique focal length, but financially speaking I think the 25mm is the better choice.🤔
@@teocrawford thanks for ur reply. Also looking for iphone 11 for the video (i need a new phone). So what better to buy now for my purposes in ur opinion? Which one would u buy? (Iphone 11 or GX80)
I personally would never invest so much money in a phone. Mine is a refurbished Huawei, so it's pretty powerful, but still only cost me about 230€
And then all the rest of the money I would put into a decent camera+lens setup, because that is what I see a much higher value in🤔🤷🏻♂️
@@teocrawford big thanks for ur replies. Much appreciate it. Also thanks for the quality content. Keep it up!
@@shiney359 Sure thing!🙌🏼
Isn’t is amazing how a old Panasonic has a better menu and touch screen then that a7iii?
old? 2016 is old? :D
You can hack the camera with a cine-D profile, but never use flat profile on a camera that record only in 8bit color depth.
Yep, slog is not very good with 8-bit
I find it a bit strange, why the footage here is so kind of laggy, not smooth? 24 f/s is more than enough for human eye not noticing the change between the frames, but in this case it almost seems like there's less frames per second, 15 or something.
I'm talking mainly about the instances where you were filming behind your friend, like at 3:11 for example.
4:31 also
Shutter speed cranking check out Wong Kar-wai fallen angels.
Editing program?
Premiere Pro☝🏼
0:53 is it the lumix GX 80 or not?
The video is shot with the GX80 yes, the camera on screen at 0:53 is of course a different one (Canon 5D IV I think).
Hi, when I change the settings for video in video menu it changes my photo settings, is that normal and does it mean that i have to change these settings everytime I switch beetwen photo and video.
i can't make my files raw
Are you in manual mode? You might need to first switch to manual mode👍🏼
you shoot with gloves whoe...
Why on earth would you be using Lightroom with a German user interface? :D However, this video is awesome and the camera still kicks ass.
Hahah I live in Austria, so everything is set to German by default :D
Hi Teo... I have a friend with flat profile in the GX80. Cinelike D and V.
In what planet do you live?! Wake up! :D ;)
Hey there, yes I think there is a way to hack it onto the camera or so, but the camera originally doesn't offer those✌
