Is a gh5 still good in 2023?

My camera don't show shutter

This is helpful. Thank you. They're also a lot of settings around autofocusing all over the camera setting menus. So I'm allow for the half price others turn it off. I've noticed some challenges with that. It'd be good to understand what settings work with what operational functionality. The AF/AE button is there is a fallback... But I'm still figuring this all out. PS, I use my GH5 for video and v log.

I can't get AF to work in video mode, only the Auto settings such as P mode.

MERCI !

Okay I have GH5 and do not see these options . Can someone please help me.

Hey Caleb, Mathias from Hannover/ Germany. Fantastic video, it helps me to find the best settings. I´m a newcomer - yesterday I´ve bought my GH5 II with a Lumix G Vario 12-35mm, f2,8. Do you recommand your settings to setup the GH5 II too? Thanks so much;-))

Hello how are you? Thanks for the videos they are very good, I'm Brazilian and I want to enter the world of audio visual I have a doubt on which camera to buy, gh5 or Sony a7iii which one would you recommend? Thanks

Don't understand why Iso 100 is invisible on my gh5.
Thanks for helping me ^^

Was this video shot on a GH5 with these settings?

I set the first setting but mine isnt showing the angle at the bottom? Tried scrolling through the DISP button but it still doesnt show, any ideas?

Hello Caleb, can you do one for GH6 as well? :)

hi, having a bit of an issue with my gh5 with all manual picture modes it keeps taking pictures like it's in bust mode but it is not......

Thank you for the help ! Just got my GH5 setup yesterday and this def helped me shave some hours off the learning curve.

Big fan from nepal

Variable frame rate slowed by video down. How do I make it fast again? Do I need to use a editing program! ?

FYI "All I" footage is easier for a computer to edit than traditional long-gop formats

Hey great video... On another subject maybe you will have an answer... I've been looking for a np-f adapter that can power the gh6 with a dummy battery, and a monitor with 12v input. Somehow i can't find a good answer even from smallrig. v mount battery is the only option?

Dude has pringles for nails😂 great video

Great video, I have had my GH5 for awhile now and only am beginning to customize settings this was a game changer.

Hey Caleb, would these settings be the same on the GH5 mark 2? thanks for your great content. Cheers -

system frequency is'nt showing in my gh5, only format is showing in the rentch!!!!

Wich keyboard do you have?

Really appreciated this! Quick question though, when I tried to load in the custom LUTS it seems that my GH5 isn't reading it. When I tap on "Read LUT file" it says "This menu item can't be set" I'm not too sure what to do.

VERY useful, you got a new GH5followerfan :)

Complete newbie question: isnt it better to choose a framerate for recording at say 30 or 60 fps and then change it to 24 fps in post?

Great information, and thanks for sharing your settings.

Man there is just so much value in your videos. I’ve literally just got a gh5 II as a b cam (to an A7s3) & I cannot believe I’ve never owned or used one on these before - it is awesome! As are your videos man - thanks 🙏

hey friend excellent video, but why does the microphone turn off with this configuration during the video at 60fps 4k? Is there any setting that can turn on the microphone?

Hey Caleb, novice videographer question. Why would anyone choose to shoot in 23.976 vs 24 flat, or 29.97 vs 30 flat?

Why cinematic? I'm unlikely to shoot for cinema.

thanks for this huge help!

good video but what lens did you used?

Hi Caleb,

I am using the GH5 and I just realized a big problem when filming videos. When I keep Everything the same and film indoors my videos play fine, BUT when I video outside in brighter light with the same settings something is happening so my videos get all pixelated. (So my exposure is set for the outdoor light so the indoor videos look dark but I am filming in front of a window so I am getting some of the outside light.)

Even the thumbnail for the outside .MOV file is a quicktime icon (on my iMac) whereas the video filmed inside has one of the frames as the thumbnail icon. Both videos were about 600 - 700 MB, both videos on a SanDisk 128GB Extreme Pro SD card.

I tried so many different things like adjusting the focus option from ASF/AFF to M but that does not make a difference. I have the settings similar to your settings in your video about the GH5 settings that you mention in this video. I have it set to record in .MOV format.

For the record quality I am using 1020x1080, 420/8bit/Long GOP, 100Mbps, LPCM, VFR available.
Variable Frame Rate OFF

When I shoot photos outside there is no problem. 

Also I can view the video in camera preview without the pixelation but when I transefer the video file from my SD card onto my iMac it plays horribly. It looks like a bunch of color cubes.

I tried looking at the messed up video in DaVinci Resolve as well as QuickTime and the video in the Edit tab of Resolve looks really weird. Some normal frames at the beginning and then a bunch of green frames and then red with Media Offline at the end of the same clip - just one clip for the movie.

I do not really know where to start with figuring out what is going on.

Do you have any ideas?

Thanks for the video. I get harsh highlights especially with the natural profile. I use zebraz and histogram and take care not to overexpose, everything looks OK on the camera LCD but when i bring the footage in post often the highlights are not optimal. I notice that there is a lot of information in the blown highlights. Is that a GH5 characteristic, and if yes how can i manage this issue better?

Hey Man, I'm useless with my GH5, I plugged in your setting to shoot some testimonial footage from a student and all my clips are in slow motion with no audio. I must have done something wrong, I'm guessing it was from the variable frame rate. Is there a way I can fix the footage so its regular speed? Is my audio gone, or hiding? Any help would be apricated thanks.

Brilliant my good man 👍🏻

Thanks very well explained. I want to record my band's 2 hour plus rehearsals and shows, output via hdmi, hit record and forget, will the camera not overheat?

we want to see the results not just talking

There is a question. Bought gh5ii with same settings 4k/8bit/100mbs same like yours the volume is mute, whats can be? thanks

Thanks for your video ! As the autofocus is not so great, any advice to doing great focus in manual? I mean, when changing focus, it's best to do it slowly and smoothly or doing it fast to swiftly change from first plan to background doable?

With so many jumping ship, I'm happy you're still flying the GH5 colors!
Best regards from Stockholm!

Awesome video for 2021. Thanks!

Another Deity mic user! I love mine, not sure why I don't see them more often. It has a surprisingly long pick up distance, I think you're actually too close to it in this vid :')
