GH4 New footage

[joe 1008]

Still some shadow detail while maintaining a deep blue sky. All shot with a normal gamma curve. How much shadow detail would he have got with cine gamma D? I mean, while the GH4 doesn't seem to be a DR monster, there seems to be pretty much headroom with sensor tweaking before compression locks in.

In the notes he says that he recorded to microP2 cards. Interesting.....

That seems like overkill since the 4K GH4 should work ok with the new UHS-1 U3 speed class 3 cards.

So the shutter speed can be set now at shutter angles in the GH4?

Yes, along with dB instead of iso. Panasonic rep explains it in the Zacuto First Look video.

Nice find............. These Kingston cards look like the best value for U3 cards right now. Especially the 32GB flavor. Looking forward to hearing reports on their use.

cheers

Thanks for responding. That is great news!

A lot of the footage from the GH4 so far looks GH3 like, maybe a little sharper. I should have bid higher on that F3 yesterday on Ebay with the 3 PL lenses, damn!

Forget everything you've seen so far from the GH4. We wont get a true measure of what it's capable of until we see 10-bit footage in flat/cinema log. I'm not interested in the 4K whatsoever to be honest, I'm more interested in the 10-bit 1080P at up to 60FPS.

As far as I know, the only external recorder that can do 10-bit 1080P at up to 60FPS is the Convergent Design Odyssey7 (and 7Q). Considering that you're getting a phenomenal field monitor, as well as a recorder, for $1295, it's a pretty good deal all up.

Does the GH4 have a cine-log profile? Don't that just have cine-like gamma? Log would be interesting to see.

Cinelike D is said to be quite flat plus you can set contrast curves on the touchscreen and the black level with the master pedestal. I'm optimistically assuming that with all these options you can create a very flat profile.

This alone plus focus peaking plus the improved wi-fi capabilities (like in the GM1 - I love it) would be a reason to buy the camera. If 4K comes along with it too - fine. ;-)

You'll be... trust me, you will, Simon ; ) And quicker than you can even guess... (E

Absolutely amazing sharpness and seemingly very controlled rolling shutter. Downloading the 4k from vimeo to peep now.

Words to be eaten with salad dressing pretty soon. 4K is absolutely fantastic and with the terrific and affordable prices of the Sony and Panasonic new cams so far whoever doesn't get into it is completely out of the loop.

This one looks pretty good to me!

But it's the same video and vimeo will let you download the 4k upload. Crazy how good it looks now downconverted to 1080.

Agreed. I downloaded the 4K file from Vimeo and played it on VLC on my 2.5K 27" monitor. Looks gorgeous.

I think I've been taken out of context. If you read my entire post, I said I am more interested in the 1080P 10bit at up to 60FPS, via an Odyssey 7, as opposed to the internal 4K.

So many options with the GH4 to capture great footage. Exciting times.
