What I've read is that Panasonic is tight-lipped about the source of the sensor. When I looked up the specs online, the G9M2's sensor is listed as 26.5 MP (25.2 MP effective), while the GH6's sensor is listed as 27 MP (25 MP effective). I'm thinking that the sensors may be similar in resolution...

We just got a G9M2 for my wife, who mostly does photography. It is an upgrade from her old GX8, which still works but is now around 8 years old and well-used. My first impression of the G9M2 is that it is smaller than I expected. It is no larger than a GH5, and it is definitely smaller/lighter...

Just a wild guess, but do you have the time set correctly on the camera? And do you have the screen set for "Night Mode"? If it is in Night Mode and thinks it is the wrong time, it might darken unexpectedly. Again, just a wild guess.

Yes, I was given that line and understand that products age and fall off the "supported" list. This Apple Mac was the brains of a video archive system we had (I was a contract video producer at a federal agency), and I got the archive hardware working. But the Mac Pro was the key to operating...

It was 2013 when I got that Mac at work, so that's probably relatively modern. For my last job as a video producer/engineer (March 2021 to Dec. 2022), I worked on Windows. However, there were Macs all around me and I did use them occasionally to move a file. One of them (an older Mac Pro) was...

We're wandering far afield from the original topic of this discussion (hijack, anyone??), but I had the opposite experience with a Mac a few years ago. I had Atari computers starting in 1980, then worked in an office with TRS-80s, then worked for IBM where it was all PC-DOS computers. When I...

Yes, I was indeed using Windows.

All I can say is that I was accurate in my description above. I could not get 10-bit 4:2:2 150Mbps video from the GH5 to work with the free version of Blackmagic's DaVinci Resolve (v14). When I inquired on Blackmagic's Resolve forum, I was given the curt response that I quoted above. I was told...

I have never tried to do this with Resolve, but maybe I will try and see if I can get it to work. Meanwhile, the point of my original post was to get the word out that CapCut works with 10-bit 4:2:2 video from the GH5 and GH6. Four years ago or so, my primary editing software was the free...

Thanks for the tip... but wouldn't you also have to find all the source material and import it all into the project? That would have been agony for one of my projects that spanned 18 months and went through a couple of additional shoots and more than a dozen approval versions. The initial edit...

I just recently (as in the last couple of days) learned that there was a free video edit software package called CapCut (https://www.capcut.com/). I apologize in advance if I'm the last one to know about this, but I thought others might not have heard about it. Anyway, CapCut seems pretty...

As of this date, Panasonic has released a firmware update for the GH6. It sounds pretty minor, but you can check it out at the update page: https://av.jpn.support.panasonic.com/support/global/cs/dsc/download/index.html

On Oct. 24, Panasonic released new firmware for the GH6 and GH5Mk2. You can look at the details and download the firmware at https://av.jpn.support.panasonic.com/support/global/cs/dsc/download/index.html

Panasonic reportedly registered two new cameras with an agency in China, using internal manufacturing designations. There is a growing amount of chatter out there that the two cameras might be the GH7 and a G100 Mk2. No one except Panasonic knows, of course. I just wanted to mention this to let...

Today and tomorrow (Oct. 10-11, 2023) is Amazon Prime Day, and Amazon has a great price on the GH5Mk2: US$998. Edit: B&H Photo has it for the same price.

In case anyone has missed it, Panasonic has a new camera announcement scheduled for Sept. 12 at 10AM (eastern time US). The rumor is that it is a new MicroFourThirds camera, and there is a lot of whispering that it will be an updated version of the G9. Be that as it may, Panasonic has a habit...

Costco had a good price ($70) on a Lexar 1TB SSD, so I got it to use with the GH6. Panasonic has approved only Samsung and SanDisk SSDs for use with the GH6, but the Lexar turned out to be a perfect match -- it recorded video at the GH6's highest speed (1.9 Gbps) without a glitch. And stayed...

Just in case someone missed it, on July 11, 2023, firmware version 2.3 was released for the Panasonic GH6. You can download the new firmware here: https://av.jpn.support.panasonic.com...oad/index.html

One of the great features that the GH6 has (as well as the GH5 Mk2 and the S series) is that the camera can be powered through its USB-C port. I'm doing a day-long timelapse shoot of work being done in my yard, and I have the GH6 set up in a back corner where there is no power. Running an...

Hmmm... I still see it. This is what I see when I click on the link:
