My Very First Video With My Very First HDSLR Camera

[trickhog]

Here is the first video footage I shot with my first HDLSR Camera - the Panasonic GH2 - after I set up the creative movie mode using the wonderful set-up thread in this forum:



Everything shot handheld (poorly!) with the 20mm pancake. Wide-open at 1.7 in almost no light, 1/50 shutter, 3200 ISO, Incandescent Pre-Set WB.

Thanks to everything in this forum for helping me research the camera, then figure out how to use it once it arrived....

Great footage; shocking to believe its iso 3200.

Thanks everyone. Yes, the low-light capabilities with the 20mm pancake is pretty impressive. My living room is pretty dark at night. The only light in that room was a 15w CFL bulb in a lamp (60w output) about 10 feet away, and a chandelier hanging over the dining room table in the background with 5 20w mini-bulbs in it. I can't wait to play with the camera with better lighting and lower ISOs to see what it can do.

That short was more film-like than anything I've ever done. It reminded me of French cinema
