Panasonic has made some great efforts putting a lot of short tutorials online:

This another source too from Griffin Hammond

He has one on the XLR unit too. Good source to subscribe to.

I've had my GH5 for a few days and loving this camera, packed full of options.

Having been on Sony cameras for a long time, I loved using auto ISO, then locking in the auto ISO when it settled down, I found this very convenient when moving in and out of different lighting situations and then only having to deal with one button to lock the camera exposure down.

Does anyone know if the GH5 can do this? I can have auto ISO engaged but I can't find a way to lock this in when exposure (ISO) has settled down.

Cheers, S

I think I found my own answer to the post I made previous about locking in ISO.

The only way to lock AE is to use either P,A or S in Movie mode, if your in manual mode, auto ISO, is auto ISO and can't be locked in.

Same goes in photo mode.

Thread is now a "sticky" at top of forum index.

Not exactly a tutorial but important to know:

Ron Evans · June 2nd, 2017, 05:34 AM

He was likely not using Like709 scene files as that would have rolled off the highlights and maintained the detail. I too would like to know if the dynamic range was really changed with using 100 or if the shot was just over exposed for 100 ISO. If the camera was in auto exposure it would not expose for those small white pieces but just the main scene. Doesn't seem logical that a slower ISO would over expose. No information as to shutter speed or iris either. I shoot in the theatre all the time so do not use extended ISO but would like to know why.

Hi

I can't see anything wrong with the footage either. You have very bright whites that simply can't be recorded and are naturally blown out, if he had zebras on he would be seeing this at the time I would have thought.

I suspect even with the human eye looking at the scene all those bright blown areas would be blown out in the human eye as well.

The camera exposure system has sacrificed the highlights to expose the majority of the scene correctly.

Regards

Phil

I've been working on the theory that base ISO is 400 and so when possible set that and use an ND filter to adjust exposure. However if I want low aperture in bright sunlight, then I switch to ISO 100. I think dynamic range is reduced slightly as a consequence. Certainly I see a bit more clipping, but nothing so dramatic as to make it unusable. In fact I wish I had ISO 50 to play with.
