GH5 Panasonic GH5 V-Log L Dynamic Range Test

[Cary Knoop]

I made a test using V-Log L with the Sun at meridian altitude to check the dynamic range:

Thanks for posting. DSLRs have come a long way!

Any conclusions? Compared to GH4?

Hey, Cary, thanks for these. Since they are pre-graded, what should we take away from them?

Do any of these clips have Warp Stabilizer applied?

No they do not!

I am currently experimenting with adding e-stabilization in camera to see if the micro shakes can be avoided when using IBIS for very wide angle lenses.

I think the dynamic range is satisfactory, it's not an Alexa but I think it will do in most situations.

I think it is important to use proper exposure, exposure to the right is tricky because when you pull it down in post you run the risk of getting mud, especially with skin tones.

Is there a reason why the sun needed to be at the "meridian" position for this test? Just curious.

IMO the only shots that might demonstrate the dynamic range are the two "interior" shots (grove of trees & shack with picnic table) and they are both so short it's hard to judge. The exterior shots look nice but the lighting is so even.

Do you recall what IRE value were your highlights in most shots? Did you set zebras to 70% and keep your highlights just below that?
