Low Light GH2 14mm F2.5, ETC, and 80% in camera slow motion samples

[mpgxsvcd]

Here is a video showing samples of Low Light GH2 14mm F2.5, ETC, and 80% in camera slow motion. I also used the 20mm F1.7 pancake, A Sigma 30mm F1.4, and a Canon FD 55mm F1.2 lens.

I like the ETC mode when the ISO stays below 640. However, once it gets over that the noise gets magnified.

I shot in Nostalgic mode at first. However, that tends to overexpose the image too much even though it offers more dynamic range. I switched to the Smooth mode which uses 1/3 of a stop less ISO than the other modes in AUTO ISO mode.

If you have any questions about how a certain clip was shot let me know. I can go back to the original files and see what settings I used.

I guess ETC is practically limited in 160/320/640 iso. In low lighting, 1.4 lens often needs 1250 or higher iso.

Although ETC can be very useful on a prime in good lighting, I usually carry primes for low lighting situation. In good lighting, I prefer carrying a zoom. Prolly I wouldn't use the feature often.
