I must say, I miss this kind of interaction. Forums have something that Facebook & social media lack. Over the years, I've learned so much reading and interacting on sites like this and DVinfo

Venues seem to be increasingly hard on allowing people in early. I understand they want to limit the dance schools to the time they pay for, but I end up rushing up and down stairs, lugging gear and setting up cameras (I'll set up 5 cameras in some venues). With torn rotator cuffs and...

I hear you, the guy I work for uses a mix and certainly talks up the canon. Apart from the fact that my wife would kill me if I bought another camera (she's pushing me to retire) I don't see investing in a new ecosystem as viable when I'm only shooting sporadically throughout the year (Dec is...

That's a great idea using the closed curtain. If I took a laser measuring device and measured to the point on the stage where I want to find focus, I could find a corresponding spot once the curtain is closed to set focus.

If I can get into a concert early enough, I have a focus chart to do what you're suggesting, but the theatres barely give you 45min in most cases. Certainly, with the wide, I don't need to change it once set, but I zoom on the other GH5s using the power zoom lens so I'm always checking focus (I...

I might have a play around with that, glasses over glasses (who gives a bugger what it looks like) Someone on another forum has suggested Laser Surgery - he has one eye for long distance and the other for close, sounds weird but he swears by it.

I remember having the very 1st Small HD, had a good run out of that, but then they got a bit pricey - the Cine13 is well over 8K here in Aus, if I were younger, it might be worth the investment.

got em and I'm still having trouble. I've got 70 good years out of my eyes so I can't complain.

I've actually got one of these - died on day 3 of a shoot in Fiji. It's still under warranty so I can use that when (if) the replacement arrives but I was wondering about other options.

I use a viewfinder but the cameras are fully extend on miller Tripods so 2m up. I guess there's no reason I couldn't attach the EVF to one of the legs to check focus on occasion.

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...

solved - one had a broken wire and the other a dodgy capacitor

I met Garrett in Sydney at an expo some years ago - I don't think he's aged a day!

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...
