I've been shooting multi-camera dance concerts for some time, but as I get older, I struggle to be sure I have critical focus, and when I get back to the office, I can see that I'm soft, particularly on the wide. I've gone from 5" to 7" full HD, and I'm still missing critical focus at times...

I've got a puzzle for you, I'm hoping someone has encountered and solved this. I normally operate off battery (3 sees me good for the day) but occasionally, I'll run off 240v through the adapter. I have a shoot coming up where I'm thinking of using Vmount but I can't get the camera to fire up...

I was talking to a RED user who always shot in 8k as this used the full sensor and then he cropped in post according to the project. Can the same apply to the GH5 and GH5s? Can I shoot in 4x3 Anamorphic to use the full sensor - I've been experimenting with producing social media promos and it...

I just picked this up 2nd hand and can't seem to get it working. The camera shows XLR input, the light on the unit is on and the camera appears to be getting audio signal. I have a lapel connected to one channel and a wireless mike connected to the other, both appear to work, I can see the...

Is there a menu option to show the hours used on the camera - I can't seem to find it on the camera or in the manual - any ideas?

there has been a few posts over the years on using the GH cameras with parfocal lenses - I came across this one recently but is anyone actually using a setup like this for indoor low light stuff like dance concerts...

I'm wondering what information is useful to give to an edit along with the footage. It seems we're still using terms that were suited to film when most of us don't shoot with film. most forms don't include filenames for camera & audio which I thought would be useful duration? really - cant we...

I'm looking to try out some of the Rokinon cine lenses on the GH5s. While I can get them in a native M43 mount, I'm wondering about getting the EF mount and a speed booster adapter. The lenses are fast so that's not a problem but the FOV will be different and also I'm wondering about future...

I have a large number of SD cards from 32 to 256Gb and just looking at ordering a few more. I always use Sandisk extreme pro but I'm not sure how 'old' some of my existing cards are. I may have some 64Gb that are 5 years old or maybe more - does anyone know of a way of telling the age or...

I've tried controlling my G7 & GH4 with the app (no, not at the same time) but unless I'm relatively close, the signal drops out. I want to be able to control the camera from 10m away. is there any way to extend the signal? maybe a booster of some sort. As it is it's pretty useless to me.

I usually shoot with separate audio for interviews etc but was caught short and used a wireless mike into the gh5 in a noisy environment. I couldn't seem to find out how to switch off auto gain? is there a way to do this?

Never had a problem shooting 180 before but today at a commercial shoot the 2nd clip went haywire and it only got worse from there https://vimeo.com/251772801 I've included the 1st shot and added stills from some of the other shots so it's clearer whats going on. - pretty weird! I think it's...

I had a disaster on an event shoot a couple of days ago - the B camera locked up and wasn't recording, only the 1st 4gb file was on the card. I've had lockups before but the camera freezes and you can see it on the screen. This time the recording light kept blinking and the counter kept...

does anyone actually have one? mine has been on pre-order for nearly 2 months and other locals seem to be in the same boat - "Panasonic can't supply stock" they seem to be legendary for this.:Drogar-Angry(DBG):

It sounds like tweety bird has made a home in my HC-X1000. I got a constant tone a couple of weeks ago (stopped the next day and today I have this!! https://vimeo.com/160587101 I've pumped the sound up but there's clearly a problem, I switch the camera off and it stops, start the camera and...

I'm directing a short film and getting some crew together - I have a producer (no experience except for community theatre) and we seem to be crossing each others paths. Perhaps I should have organised things myself but I thought a producer could work on the logistics - locations, financing etc...

This is a film I've been wanting to make for years - I waited too long. First fireworks was originally a play written by Alex Broun - an amazing playwright. I first saw the play about 12 years ago and since then I've directed and acted in a number of his plays. I've read and reread the script...

a fellow producer shooting dance concerts with a Sony PXW-X160 want me to help out with a series of jobs and I was looking for a panasonic alternative - even with side by side tests it's hard to be sure. why isn't there an objective measure for low light performance?? I can look at the specs...

Like a lot of people I've been watching these waiting for the price to drop and the technology to stabilise (pun intended) I like the look & price of the Nebula 4000 lite http://shop.chdntech.com/nebula/nebula4000-lite-gyroscope-gimbal-stabilizer-bmpcc-gh4-nex-eos-m-a7s.html but the lack of...

I'm still using my GH2's regularly and have a stack of batteries but I'm losing the plastic covers that go with them - I like to have the cover to assure me the battery is charged and ready. anyone know where I might get some?
