GH2 Birds feeding - GH2, with Lumix 100-300, ETC, and slow-mo

[tflak]

Hesitated to post about this here since it's not strictly GH2 and ETC related. But it is about birds feeding, extreme telephoto, slow-mo and is definitely not for the squeamish. So I hope it may have some interest for folks here.

Awesome. I too have this camera and lens combination and I love it!

"Yes, there's a mixture of with/without ETC in there. The super-telephoto is pretty much all ETC, the wider shots are pretty much the same focal length but without ETC. The first shot is ETC, the second shot is the exact same setup, exact same zoom/focal length, but with ETC turned off, etc. The wider shot of the buzzards is with ETC off; all the super-tele shots are with ETC on. The super-slow-mo shots of the buzzards are in 720/60p mode."


Just to be clear. Is there resolution degradation when switching from that first to second shot (ETC to normal) ?
And when you say the slo mo in 720/60p mode is that you clicking to Manual Movie, then Record Mode to 720 ?

thanks

Thanks for the Wild Kingdom action Barry. I'm guessing only one racoon was consumed in the making of your film?

I agree the 100-300 is akin to a telescope. I once took it as my only lens and had to back up 1/4 mile to get a wide shot.

Thanks for sharing.
