hard to compare these different setup, so far this is the only gh4 video which i like so far

Yeah, I'm f*cking confused by that. No offense to the testers, as I'm sure they know more than me... But seriously, why was that last shot so blue?
To me the F35 looked the best, then the BMC 4k, then the GH4 (so the order they were posted)... But I can't look at the GH4 serious with the white balance thrown off like that. Call me a noob or something, but my eyes just aren't trained to adjust white balance along with looking at highlights, skin tone, etc.
Edit: I see he mentioned daylight white balance, but if I'm not mistaken you can adjust the color temp manually... I think that would've been best. I've only ever manually set the color temp in my GH2 (just assuming they didn't throw that feature away when upgrading to the GH3/4).

Try to find other ones, you'll find ; ) In any case, Lomo's glass falls down (about 00:52 second, as for instance) on this one. Here's another one where the same doesn't occur:
If you don't buy the grading, you can do play by yourself on VLC player

And if people don't want to play with the settings on VLC player, there's always the chance to trust on a suitable grading previously done in order to make people to fight for saying they don't like it, I guess : D

I think maybe it's just a thing where the user (no disrespect) didn't have time to get to know the camera. That white balance thingy got me curious because Panasonic cameras (I've used for years beyond DSLR's) are always shooting in that "annoying" warm tone (where many call it the Panasonic "Mojo"). But here... it comes off like what I've typically seen from Sony cameras...bluish in tone. I've since seen enough GH-4 videos that a more orange-like and over-saturated to convince me...something's off in that last shot. jm2c
...I was surprised that the GH4 shot held up the highlight detail in the out of focus sun-lit door in the background. It seems to have better highlight detail than the BMC shot did.

Indeed that's what I've been doing lately, setting up the WB to around 6500 instead of the daylight preset which I find too blue. Tht way is better.
