• There were cases where motion pictures recorded in [AVCHD] cannot be divided. This bug has been fixed.

A question: What is the tolerable ISO for recording in low light or at night with the GH5?

The new IS lock stabilator is incredible. It "glues" the lens in static clips but it helps in other ways too.

Surprisingly the IS lock makes walking with camera very stable and smooth. It makes "floating" stabilization and keeps the frame balanced smoothly. Combined with DUAL IS2 lens and e-stabilization the walking with camera is very smooth and stable. I have used my 14-140 II lens.

Thanks. Very beautiful places and nice video but where is the test? The Youtube video result would be identical if you would have shooted shoot150Mbs.

Did you find 400Mbs easier to edit than 150Mbs? Have you tested the IQ difference between 10bit 150 vs 400 Mbs?

Tree Lighting event at the Faneuil Hall Marketplace in Boston. I used the GH5 with the 2.1 firmware plus 12-35mm f/2.8 II lens. It stayed mostly at f/2.8, locked ISO at 800 and used just the auto focus. Shooting in low light at f/2.8 is a good way to test how the auto focus is. Not easy to shoot while holding the camera above my head and having gloves on. I have a tripod that can convert to a monopod but I didn't bring it. I might eventually get a regular monopod such as the ones from Sirui since I need something that can get me smooth shoots high above my head.

Shot in 4K 60p.

4K 60p. Aperture mostly at f/5.6 to f/8 to keep a lot of the frame mostly in focus. Shutter at 60. ISO at 1600. True that I could have used an ISO of 800 and use an aperture of around f/2.8 and f/4 on average. At least 1,600 ISO isn't too bad. Used the same lens as the previous video. 12-35mm f/2.8 ii. I think I'll trade it in for the Leica 12-60mm f/2.8 - 4.0 lens (Still within my return period). I read that it's a sharper lens than the first generation 12-35. I'll need to see a comparison against the second generation 12-35mm I have. I'd also like a little more reach. I do have the old 14-140mm lens but it it's not capable of using the dual stabilizer function as the newer lenses.

Anyway, I only used auto focusing. If the updated GH5 really does get noticeably better low light capabilities, you'd be able to keep the ISO higher than the GH5 and shoot with a higher number f stop to get as much in focus as possible. Basically it would especially be better for event shooters.

One of the copyrighted songs that were playing live at the event (Holly Jolly Christmas) is causing my video to be blocked in Germany. I just used the feature that tries to remove copyrighted audio so it might be a while until the video can be shown their. This have given me a lot of headache in the past when it comes to videos on my channel or videos on other people's channels that I have managed. Sometimes it's must worse. A certain copyrighted song that is playing at the event could cause your video to be blocked world wide.

Imagine someone posting a wedding video online to show to relatives and because of one of the songs that was being played live when the people were dancing, the video gets blocked world wide. Instead of the videos getting blocked world wide, I wish the copyright owner would instead mute the audio. Even better if Google allowed them to just delete the audio in the portion of the video that has the song. As mentioned, deleting the audio of just a portion of the video that has copyrighted songs is available to the channel owners. Wish it was also available to companies representing copyrighted song owners. Again, they still have the power to delete the audio completely and being able to view the video with no audio is better than not being able to view the video at all.

Sometimes I'll try to dispute it and say incidental background music is fair use but when a video has say 9 copyrighted songs such as this one, the chances of everyone agreeing are very slim. Some people might agree and lots of others may disagree.

While I'm at it, sometimes the music isn't actually owned by company's clients. For example some companies will claim other people's cover videos all because their client also sang that cover. In one of the channels I managed, a cover song that was done with the Smule app was claimed by a company who was also claiming videos on Smule's YouTube channel. I messaged Smule about it and not long after I did that, the company stopped claiming those covers. It's all because one of their clients also sang a Smule cover and they decided to claim everyone else's Smule covers of that particular song.

Sorry to be going a bit off topic.

2018 New England International Auto Show - GH5 - Leica 12-60mm f/2.8-f/4.0 lens - 4K 60p

It looks pretty empty because I went during press hours. Only people who were either part of the show or media were allowed in at that time. I had a press pass.

ISO was mostly at 400 except for a couple of interior shots in which is was a little higher. Focusing was fully automatic. Shutter was either 60 or 120 depending on the lighting. f stop was mostly f/4 to f/5. Sometimes a little lower if their wasn't enough light.

Used the Leica 12-60. Was previously trying out the 12-35mm but as a walk around, all purpose lens, it does't have enough reach for me. A big benefit of the 12-35mm lens is that it can stay at f/2.8 throughout the zoom range unlike the 12-60 which goes from f/2.8 to f/4.0 when you zoom out. When I'm shooting events, I try to shoot at f/4.0 to f/9 anyway unless I really need to go lower for low light shooting.

Static video with nothing moving - why not take a photo? It is quite boring to watch "video slideshows".

Little camera movement without fast jittering is quite OK for me and gives some life to clip. Even many big movies are shot that way. GH5 IBIS after GH4 OIS vibration with some lenses is fantastic. The new fw 2.0 IS lock is very helpful too. I wonder if Paulo has used it with his auto show video.
