Grain in photos and movies remind me of the old good days! One of main reasons I enjoy watching the 70s movies is the grainy picture! For me, grain is the top of nostalgia pyramid, if that even makes sense!
We brought a Lumix camera a few months ago. We're both mature! and it's our first proper camera. Talk about struggle! We had no idea what the buttons and dials on the camera were... then we came upon your channel...WOW... now are enjoying the learning process and really having lots of fun. Thank you!!
Hello Ray and Jo. Welcome to my channel. Yes, every camera has a steep learning curve these days. You're holding a super computer in your hands. All the best in your learning. If all else fails iA mode will do you well until you're a bit more comfortable with everything. Check out my G9 Playlists. Cheers and thanks for stopping by!
I've seen a lot of hype for film simulations in digital cameras, but this is the first video I've seen that explains what that means. (Closest thing to a grain filter in my GX85/0 is 'rough monochrome'. Let's see what the next GX has.)
FP4 and XP2 the fp was what i could buy cheap from a photography teacher at school. And the xp as you used colour processing so some times it would pick up a colour tint.
Hi Marlene! Thank you for another fun video. PS... I finally pulled the trigger on a Lumix S5 Mark II. Wow what a camera. A perfect compliment to my two G9s.
From darkroom to lightroom! What a long strange trip that still challenges our creativity!😄 Well done, Marlene👍❣️ (Ilford was my film and paper of choice.)
Great video. By the way Adorama has the gh6 900 off. Its an open box but has the factory Panasonic warranty. I just bought one myself and still have some available. I presently have a g9.
I love to shoot film. If you want clearly visible film grain push HP5+ to ISO 800 or 1600 then stand develop the film in Rodinal for 30 minutes. For really strong grain do the same with Foma 400.
Thanks Marlene, another interesting foray into the Lumix menu. Probably not something I would use myself mostly shooting wildlife, where I find I get quite enough grain anyway 😀.
Ilford HP4 if I remember correctly. With Nikon F3 HP. But, I just the the G9 options for B&W. I use L Monochrome D. p.s. WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR GREAT COLLECTION OF SHIRTS. I love them!🤠
Hi Keith. I loved Ilford FP4 and HP5. Both had lovely grain. Yes, I use L Mono D as well. Just that added bit of juicy contrast. Glad you dig my shirts. ☺ I'm always on the lookout for ones that will look good on camera. Cheers and thanks for stopping by for a chat.
Super thanks, This is cool. Grapping my camera now to set up a "photo style" of this. I always take out the color in post. Do you add film grain "in camera" on the other profiles and on colored profiles? I wish I knew somebody who kept a chemicals lab just to experience it. Back in the day I did not even know what a camera was. LOL. Every time I see an old movie or even Netflix's Crown I wish I could go to a lab just once for a day or session. LOL a tourist attraction.
There are more and more wet labs turning up. You might try looking for an art school adult Ed course. The school I used to teach at offers b&w darkroom courses. But no, I don’t typically add film gran in post. But I have been known to really smush (very technical term there 🤪) my tone scale to be even more high contrast than what you can get in camera.
It’s pretty good for jpg and guess you could have raw also. I plan to shoot b&w film after many years of not. This may be good practice first to get used to it. I could also probably take examples of my favorite film and then try to get close to taking a shot on film of a same subject, in broad daylight. And then match it in camera to the same shot on digital later in camera. That would give me something even closer practice with.
sorry if my comment[about G9] is a little out of context here ....but now after so many firmware updates the G9 is a much improved device and more capable device , from what it was at launch ....i will be obliged if you can share the updated version of the owners manual/operating manual [advanced features]of the G9 that incorporates all of the features of the firmware updates ........thank you
It should, unless those grain settings were added after the G85 came out. It works with my older Lumix cameras. But they don't have the L Mono D setting. Just the plain Monochrome. I guess you will have to add the grain in post processing.
Likely not available for your G85. Check that you have the latest firmware for the camera. Some of the later monochrome modes for the G9 were added with firmware updates.
The smell of stop bath is the one I hated. Working in poorly ventilated darkrooms , the permeated smell of chemicals on my hands, oh for the glory days of film processing.😂
Ha yes, those glory days! I also worked in a pro photo lab and processed E6 and C41 film for a few years. Perma smell up my nose! The kids these days don't know what they're missing ;)
In the 70s I started shooting film.... how can that be? how old are you Marlene? I mean you look young enough that you might not even have been born in the 70s
May I kindly suggest you look that up in the owners manual? As I expect you’ll have plenty more questions. And it’s faster than me writing out all the steps for you. The pdf is searchable.

Love the nostalgia pyramid! Makes total sense to me.

Thank you so much! Very generous of you. Yes I look forward to new in-camera filters too. Cheers.
FP4 and XP2 the fp was what i could buy cheap from a photography teacher at school. And the xp as you used colour processing so some times it would pick up a colour tint.
Ah yes, I remember the XP2. For those of us who didn't like film processing by hand.
Thanks!
Thank you TD! 😀
Yeahhh, thanks Marlene, another excursion into the menu, happy to try and push my creative photography. Great tutorial , as always.
Wonderful! Getting creative is what it’s all about! Have fun.
Interesting topic…not something I had thought of! Your screen behind aligns nicely with the topic! Always learning from you!
Hi Gordon, Happy you thought it was interesting. It’s sometimes hard to come up with fresh ideas. Cheers!
Back in the day…I liked Kodak tri-x film for grain…perhaps developed in Rodinal
Ah yes, Tri-X with Rodinal was a photo school favourite.
Need this for color
Hi Marlene , always excellent teaching !! You are the best !!
Glad you think so TD! Means a lot to hear this. Cheers!!
Merci Madame Hielema.
So awesome 📷
good ole Tri X, wonderful grain
Indeed it is!
My perfect pair for many years: Kodak Tri-X 400 and Ilford Grade 4 paper…✌️🌻
Ooh Grade 4. Nice and crispy contrast. I mostly used 2 or 3. Thanks for stopping by 🤗
Hi Marlene! Thank you for another fun video. PS... I finally pulled the trigger on a Lumix S5 Mark II. Wow what a camera. A perfect compliment to my two G9s.
That is awesome Jack. I'm happy for you. It's not the camera for me, but I've heard great things about it from folks. Enjoy!
From darkroom to lightroom! What a long strange trip that still challenges our creativity!😄 Well done, Marlene👍❣️ (Ilford was my film and paper of choice.)
Yes, challenges indeed! But that keeps us interested in the craft, right? Yay Ilford!
Great video. By the way Adorama has the gh6 900 off. Its an open box but has the factory Panasonic warranty. I just bought one myself and still have some available. I presently have a g9.
Ooh very tempting. Let me know how you like it.
Thanks for yet another informative video!
Thanks for watching Martin!

Sounds lovely! Thanks for sharing. Cheers.
Thanks Marlene, another interesting foray into the Lumix menu. Probably not something I would use myself mostly shooting wildlife, where I find I get quite enough grain anyway 😀.
Yes, I’m with you there. But please remember it’s “noise artifacts” from high ISO, not grain. Thanks for watching!
I dont have a g9 but i have a lumix camera with many of the same settings. Thanks.
Yes, that’s the great thing. Thanks for stopping by!
Ilford HP4 if I remember correctly. With Nikon F3 HP.
But, I just the the G9 options for B&W. I use L Monochrome D.

nice!
have you played with the color profiles or effects ti replicate film stock. recently missing kodachrome colors
Not too much. I tend to play with presets in LR though.
It’s pretty good for jpg and guess you could have raw also. I plan to shoot b&w film after many years of not. This may be good practice first to get used to it.

And then match it in camera to the same shot on digital later in camera. That would give me something even closer practice with.
You don’t see this grain effect when you shoot raw files. You have to add it in post processing. Have fun practicing!

I put a link in the video description. You can download the pdf. All Firmware updates are at the end of the document.
Here’s a short I made on the topic too. Easiest way to get Lumix Camera Manual

Thanks for watching Sue! Happy spring to you!
👍🏻👍🏻
it doesn't work on lumix g85
It should, unless those grain settings were added after the G85 came out. It works with my older Lumix cameras. But they don't have the L Mono D setting. Just the plain Monochrome. I guess you will have to add the grain in post processing.
@@ImageMaven yeah i mean i can't find grain in monochrome mode
Likely not available for your G85. Check that you have the latest firmware for the camera. Some of the later monochrome modes for the G9 were added with firmware updates.
Instructions for firmware updates in this video: (Works the same for all Lumix cameras) ua-cam.com/video/4mNNkR8HP14/v-deo.html

In the 70s I started shooting film.... how can that be? how old are you Marlene? I mean you look young enough that you might not even have been born in the 70s
I turned 60 earlier this year! (How did that happen? I keep asking myself.) Life is indeed shorter than people realize.
Can someone help me look for the grain option in my GX9?🥲
May I kindly suggest you look that up in the owners manual? As I expect you’ll have plenty more questions. And it’s faster than me writing out all the steps for you. The pdf is searchable.
Thanks!
And thank you!
Thanks!
Wow thank you so much Eric! You made my day. 👌
