Man this is the best review of the gh5ii. Almost all youtubers talk about the same topic. Love your videos ♥️
Thanks so much Kenny!!!
great overview of helpful tips...i'm seriously considering adding GH5 to my arsenal and this put me over the top.
That 6k anamorphic trick is a great, great tip! Thank you for that.
Seriously. That usefulness of that mode wasn't immediately apparent but now more than ever we have clients asking for us to reframe our videos for a lot of different aspect ratios and that 4:3 6k looks SUPER useful.
Good Sunday evening from New Zealand, Great GH5II Video, Thanks for sharing, I hope you have a great week
you should make a gh5 2 tutorial going through the whole camera and teaching us
Excellent tips! I will definitely use the focus ring tweaks.
So helpful, thanks Dan
Great tips on the battery options! Thanks
Glad it helped!
The 6K anamorphic already existed in the GH5. I use it all the time for the same reasons you mentioned, but because I don't need a new camera right now I'll be waiting for the GH6! 🙂
An excellent overview of the GH5ii special features. I think it's sometimes forgotten by some reviewers, or even camera buyers, just how well thought out Lumix cameras are. I'm not sure any other manufacturer packs so much into their cameras as Panasonic..?
Thanks Andrew! I absolutely agree...Panasonic has some of the best most polished features of any camera system right now and everyone else should take note. If they can develop an amazing AF system, they will be a force to be reckoned with
One thing I miss is the true electronic zoom as in the GH5. I would never record or shoot with this setting; however, lots of times it makes it easier to set the white balance.
I've heard that there will be updates for the current cameras. I'm hoping (really hoping) that the linear function for the manual focus will be one of them for the G9.
Informative video, thanks.
Nope it ain't happening, 😆
Love the video can you do a video on the best lenses for this camera as I want to collect more lenses for it but don't know much about lenses thank you
Thanks! I am very tempted go go from GH5 -> GH5 II
Nice! You sure you don't want to wait for the Gh6 though lol?
@@learningcameras Also tempting......
@@rudolfabelin383 :D
Hi, great tips, really helps…one question..can i assign pixel to pixel mode to fn. button??? Just like gh5
I'm confused about the pixel per pixel mode. How is it any different from the punch in mode on the GH5? Can it also be mapped to a custom button? Can it be used while recording? (On the GH5 it can't be activated while recording). Thanks! Great video BTW!
Best video camera for that money.
Definitely!
Hi Dan, how do you make the open gate 6k videos into 16:9 in video editing?
I own a original gh5 and i love it. The hg52 seems to have lots improvements but the thing i want most ist the 4k50 in 10 bit, the build in vlog and the usbc poewer thing my camera has not.
Is it possible to record on ssd directly with the GH5ii? Thanks!
Can I transfer or upload my Original custom settings GH5 to the GH5 mark II?
Hi Dan! Very informative video, quick question though. Are features like "ex teleconverter" and "focus transition" still available on the GH5 II ? Cuz I use them a lot on the GH5 and worry they may disappear on the new menu, thx in advance~
Ex tele got new name in gh5 ii, it calls pixel to pixel, dose same things
Hello, my Focus Ring Control is gray, I have a 12-60 mm 2.8-4.0 lens. i can not adjust it?
Thanks for your video which is very good
I have two GH5’s and one GH5 Mk2. I really like powering the camera with the USB and the internal battery. I can’t find the HDMI trigger for my Ninja V. Do you know where this is?
Hi would like to know ,is there a way to record externally with HDMI , without using a recorder ,an SSD...or any other drives .
4:00 Do you have any info whether the manual focus ring control setting to linear will work with other lenses such as the Olympus? Using it with the Olympus 12-40mm 2.8 might be great if possible.
Not sure unfortunately
It doesnt work with either the Leica 42.5 and Sigma 16.... is there a firmware upgrade for lenses? I have 1.0 for both camera and lens (on a GH5 II)
Is pixel/pixel the same crop in as Ex. Tele Conv on the GH5 (4k), or is it even tighter?
I really enjoy your content. Would you prefer the GH5II over the Z6II?
Thanks!!! For straight video, I'd probably go GH5II especially if you don't need AF all the time but for hybrid photo/video shooting, the Z6II would be my choice
@@learningcameras Thank you Dan!
The ZILR battery will power your monitor and camera at the same time?
Hi Dan, i just bought my GH5 II, because of your enthousiast review. What i like most is your turn on the 'manual focus hack'. When i follow your instructions (3:11) in my Lens/other chapter the focus control ring is greyed out! I'm on body version 1.2. Can you help me?
Hey! So it must be that the lens you are using doesn't have that feature. It has to be one of the newer Panasonic lenses that supports electronic focus adjustment
Great video, tnx. My doubt is? Can you power camera through the USB and ad the same time have HDMI output. My cam will come next week and waiting for me right away for 6 hour of live streaming. Thanks for the effort!
Thanks! So I haven't tried that but I have no idea why that wouldn't work.
Great video. How good is it for photos? If it is as good as the G9 I'll look at getting this instead of the G9 because for videos it's obviously the better one. What about photos?
Thanks! For photos it's mostly on par with the G9 now...the G9 was actually better than the original GH5 for photos before!!!
@@learningcameras but the GH5ii is exactly the same? Same sensor I think. The G9 has the 80mp combined shift sensor for very still pictures but I guess it's not used much. This doesn't have that? The rest should be the same ...?
@@mantiq7768 I think the GH5II does have that but it really doesn't have much application because it works best when shooting in a studio with controlled lights on a tripod and honestly few people would want m43 for that
@@learningcameras thanks. So the GH5ii has the pixel shift 80mp - I thought it didn't. Can it not be used on a tripod for hi-res landscape photos? (For photo printing or displaying on a TV, I'm not sure how much better the pics look anyway).
I wonder if the BGH1 has this manual focus tip
Thanks again, Dan! Quick question- the "focus ring control" is grayed out on my GH5M2 even though I've mounted my 42.5mm Lumix G f1.7 lens to the body. Do you have any clues as to why the "focus ring control" menu item is grayed out, and how to solve this?
Hey Dan- so I just discovered the answer from Panasonic. Apparently only 12 out of 48 Panasonic MFT lenses have the capability to make use of this new "focus ring control" feature and mine is not one of them. Watching your video and learning about the "focus ring control" feature was one of the deciding factors in purchasing the camera. Just wanted to let you know so that maybe you could let your viewers know that this feature, while amazing, only works with 25% of their own "focus by wire" lenses.
Interesting! I definitely would have expected more lenses to work with that. Appreciate you letting us know!
@@mattalber Do you have a list of which lenses are in the 12
Diesn't work with 1.7 25mm too :(
Lense needs a firmware update
Will prob upgrade from G9. I have an S1 would get an S5 as a B camera but the price and lack of lenses... size of m43 lenses are amazing!
Yep! I wish it was possible to use L mount lenses with a speed booster on the gh5...that would be perfect
Great information, thank you! I am deciding between the S5 or this GH5ii. Do you if the GH5ii has 'Focus Transition' like the GH5?
Appreciate that! The GH5II does have the focus transition feature. Do you know if the S5 doesn't have it?
@@learningcameras Thanks! The S5 doesn’t have it, that’s a pitty
Does the GH511 have the touch to focus option?
@@alfonsolara70 yes it does
Do you know how to reset a custom setting?
Quick question Dan. I just shot an interview with myself on AF but I reviewed the footage and my background was in focus but I was blurry. Was this because I leaned forward to push record and by the time I backed up, the focus was off? How can I avoid this because I obviously have to shoot it over again. Thanks so much in advance for your help!
So yeah, the AF on this camera was not very reliable. Most cameras should require focus. I find that once you move back in to position, move around, wave your arms, try to let the AF system know that you are the subject that should be focused on. Or for interviews, you might need to manually focus
Can you recommend a good SD card for recording video with the GH5 II. Thank you.
Absolutely. So if you want to be able to shoot ALL-I at the highest bitrate and future proof yourself, these are the best cards (fairly expensive though): bhpho.to/3ujvD9R
But every other bitrate option can record on these: bhpho.to/2MirgIx
I am curious its live streaming abilities.
hello, newby here! is GH5ii fine for video course creation? Most videos will be of me lecturing. Concerned about uploading from digital files onto Mac mini..thanks!!
As long as you can live without continuous autofocus and you aren't trying to shoot in crazy low light, the GH5II is perfect for that bhpho.to/3NNOK8u. If you do need reliable autofocus, I'd look at the Sony FX30 bhpho.to/41Es3tr which has amazing autofocus and slightly better low light performance.
@@learningcameras thanks so much!
Is this working with metabones adaptor for canon lenses? Gh5 is well known for the combo. Thanks a lot. Great video 👍subscribed
So it works but just not with decent continuous autofocus. Thanks!!!
@@learningcameras Yeap. u right, working on it right now. Decent focus, working 4 now. Thanks
I have a G9. I bought some more Panasonic-Leica lenses yesterday. The GH5 II looks like a great advance. Maybe having two bodies isn't a bad idea.
2 bodies is never a bad idea lol
The only time a second body is bad is when you haven't buried the first. 🤫
Hello, where is „extrenal teleconverter” function ? In GH5 it was possibility to use ex teleconverter in movies…..why GH5m2 dosent have ?
With the USB C Battery system I don't need to purchase a dummy battery that plugs into the wall do I?
Well, so eventually you can deplete both batteries so it depends how long you to film but certainly you could film quite a few extra hours with the USB C battery
The manual focus ring control setting to linear is pretty much useless as its greyed out no matter what lens I put on.
Lense needs a firmware update of course
Vs Panasonic S5?
6K 4/3? I’ll send Warner bros a gh5ii so they can re do DC movies like J Schneider did
I feel like the ONE thing Panasonic MUST get right to go to the next level is it’s auto-focus: most of the features of the GH5 gave them a superior product, but who cares if the image quality is unreliable for those who don’t use manual focus? Competitors have caught & left them behind. If the “GH6” doesn’t move to phase detect, it may as well not exist.
Ever heard of Manual focus?
GH5 shoots 6K only with anamorphic lens only
It shoots 6K 4:3. You don’t have to have a anamorphic lens on.
@@impatrickt I have changed settings, but I think I was note able to get 16:9. Only 4:3. Do you know whys this happens?
@@AngeloRoncallioficial 6K is 4:3 its open gate. same as the Lumix S series, Alexa LF etc which are 3:2 full frame
@@impatrickt thank you very much for the information.
If you don't already have Micro 4/3 lenses, please just get the Full Frame Panasonic S5. You can't find a better camera for $2000. (Now $1700)
