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

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!!

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

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?
wasn't there supposed to be a major announcement for the GH4? an upgrade or added facility in firmware - I seem to recall the chatter about it but can't seem to find anything
pay for actors! don't be crazy! are you paying for crew? why?
why are you making a film? - could it be that you have a faint hope that you might get some recognition and maybe even earn something being a writer / director / DOP ?
Well actors are in it for the same reasons. if you want...
There are very few cages that give me the room I need to access the camera controls so I've gone back to my Custom Brackets HDV cage. My 2 most important needs were:
1.ample access to the camera controls on the right, I need to be able to hold the hand grip and operate all the buttons on that...
This isn't really a lumix problem but since I shoot with GH2's I thought it was a place to start.
I have a venue that recomends me and I'm at the point of asking them not to - they use a new type of LED lighting and it's a pain - everything has a yellow cast (that's not too hard to fix in post...
