Does anyone use Panasonic VW-VMS10 Stereo Microphone with GH5? Is it better then built-in? Does it use the power from the hot shoe or through the stereo connector? What is its size? Thanks.

GH5: Is there way to have -6 dB or -12 db gain in V-Log on GH5?

I am deciding on the first all-around lens for GH5. Considering Lumix G 12-35mm II and Leica DG Vario-Elmarit 12-60mm. Any advise welcome.

What is the GH5 VLog-L color space? Is it restricted to Rec. 709? There is conflicting info abound. Daes anyone have a definite answer?

I recently noticed that Apple Compressor shows DVX recorded file as “Top First”, Indicating Interlaced format, even though it should be Progressive. I have recorded with 59.94 Hz, 29.97 fps, 3840x2160. Has anyone seen this? Is it just Compressor error? James Duke www.lifestorypictures.com

Re: EXTENDED SENSITIVITY The Panasonic Business "The AG-DVX200 Book" says that EXTENDED SENSITIVITY - *HIGH SENS. MODE menu item is fixed to “HIGH SENS” while this feature is set to ON." I am checking on my camera and it appears that those two setting are independent. EXTENDED SENSITIVITY...

I was testing my potential workflow in preparation for 10-bit external recording and found an unexpected effect: * I have two 10-bit monitors * Placed a 16-bit ramp on monitor #1. It looks clean, no banding visible * Attached DVX200 with HDMI cable to monitor #2 * Set camera out to 4:2:2...

Let us assume that one has 3 plugins: * White Balance * LUT * Sharpener In what order should I apply the plugins for color grading of VLOG clip? Also, is the process of white/gray balance using White/Gray card the same for Rec 709 and VLOG shooting? James Duke, jduke@lifestorypictures.com...

Is there way to have a User Button for switching to VLOG? James Duke, jduke@lifestorypictures.com, http://www.lifestorypictures.com.

For people using FCPX. What LUT loader do you use? Some loaders can have additional functions to "shape" the image. Do you use Panasonic's "VLog_to_V709_forDVX200_ver100.cube" or something else? Do you have a "standard" set of corrections beyond the LUT that you use? Can you share them? James...

Do you use the DRS? If yes, when? If yes, did you assign it to the User Button? James Duke, jduke@lifestorypictures.com, http://www.lifestorypictures.com.

Does DVX200 record any camera settings info into a video clip? If so how does one read it? James Duke, jduke@lifestorypictures.com, http://www.lifestorypictures.com.

I could not find the way to assign HIGH SENS to a user button. Am I missing something? Also with EXTENDED SENSITIVITY what do you guys use as values for L M and H for Gain? James Duke, jduke@lifestorypictures.com, http://www.lifestorypictures.com.

Trying to find a spacer in US. Quenox spacer which was mentioned in this forum is not available. I bought Optica 72mm-72mm Lens Spacer Adapter. Does not work. It is not deep enough. Anybody knows of another spacer which works with VCL-HG0872? Please let me know. Thanks. James Duke...
