GH5 Possible to have manual video mode in the C1-C3 memorized position switch?

[lonewolf2koc@hotmail.com]

I only have been using the GH5S for less than 3 weeks. Still couldn't figure out how to save all the settings in the manual camera dial position and move it to the C1-C3 position. I couldn't find any camera icon with M in the C1-C3. Only non-M is available. Is it the case for the GH5S or something that I'm not setting it correctly.

Move the dial to the Movie M position NOT the M stills position. If you are in the stills M position this will have no effect on movie recording which will be in P mode automatically. Make all the settings you want then using the menu button select the second wrench icon, this menu will have custom settings saving , second line item, select, then choose the custom settings you want to save to. All the current settings will be saved to that position. It is well worth spending several days reading the manual too as well as looking at the videos on the Panasonic Youtube site.

Set up your camera the way you desire BEFORE trying to switch to the custom mode. Then when you are done, save it to a custom mode (like C1) and then everything is remembered. The key is, everything is remembered, even custom keys and soft keys! So it's best to customize the way you like, and use one setting as a foundation for all custom settings so you don't have different custom buttons from one setting to another. I mean you can if you lie, but that may defeat muscle memory.

For instance, I have C1 setup to 4K, 23.976fps, auto iso and Manual exposure mode, and I have V-Log and HLG as soft keys, as well as synchro scan. My C2 setting is exactly the same, but it's 4K 60p. My C3-1 setting is set for stills with Aperture Priority mode and electronic shutter and auto iso, while my C3-2 setting has Manual exposure, but with mechanical shutter and iso fixed to 100 for studio photography.
