Do a tutorial on how to keep all of those plants alive.
not all of them made it :/
would be a great tutorial though.
Definitely gonna give this a shot to see how it compares to my current setup. I trust your opinion for sure so I’ll give it a shot.
How was it?
After a lots of testing your NATURAL setting the Best ...Love it
Love to hear that you love it!!
@@Whiteinrevery I have Sigma 18-35 is a sharp lens , Do you think I shoud change sharpnes in my natural profile??
@@wojtekanimations2530 try it and see which look you prefer. I would drop down the sharpness down by 1.
@@Whiteinrevery ok
So sharpness -4 thank you, I was wonder because many people here are changing sharpness to -5
Hipster plants. 😂
With your settings, I was able to shoot great shots today with the gh5. thank you.
Its funny, we decided on the same settings on our new GH5s, after coming from A7s cameras too. We just leave the hue at 0 though since I find that the different lenses change the hue quite a bit anyway and might as well just fix in post. Great tips on the screen calibration. Loving your work!
Just bought a second hand GH5 and doing a wedding in August so will put this to good use.
This may be for GH4 but it makes a lot of sense for getting a flat profile for any camera for wedding which you can play with in post. I earlier had a corporate client who wanted a western movie style (he didn't even know what to call it, he told me, "like those films where men on horseback shoot at each other"!). So I added a lot yellow, film grains and lower sharpness in post. Though the client loved it a lot I thought I wasn't good. Thanks for the settings!
@Oosterling Productions recommended you. I'm glad they did, great video, thanks!
Would definitely like to see an in depth tutorial on how you colour grade. Thanks so much for the great content.
Thanks for the LCD monitor settings. I just did a quick test and they are much closer than the default settings.
With my GH5, I found that your LCD -3 brightness setting was still too high for indoor shooting, so I took it down to -5 to get better looking exposures.
Where do you find that setting - can't seem to see it
Just subscribed, and thanks for all the tips and info! My wife and I enjoyed watching your tips for working with your spouse, as we have owned/operated a Salon for the last 6 years. Great stuff man! Blessings.
Sweet, this was a big help to get my G85 to match up to my Shinobi monitor! Thanks for sharing!
The video looks clean in terms of noise. How do you perform noise reduction in post? Btw the monitor setting is very helpful, appreciated.
Thanks for the Natural setting.....very helpful
Thanks very much I used this setting on my last gh5 video on my page. It came out awesome!!!
Any chance you guys are thinking about doing an updated color grading tutorial on your process now that your using GH5's? Lutify seems intimidating with all the options. Would love to see a little more about your workflow.
Yes we do plan on making a tutorial on our top favorite luts from Lutify. We will make sure and include some GH5 references if possible too.
White In Revery yes!!! Thank you
Do you have a similar tutorial for using your luts with the Sony mirrorless cameras like the Sony a7RIII?
Cant wait to see more wedding videos you guys have done with the gh5!! Throw up some teasers!! 😊
Coming soon ;) One is getting featured and we can't release it yet. Should be posting some small snippets to our Instagram soon so be sure and follow along :)
Can't wait to test out this profile this weekend! Thanks for the awesome content as always!
loved it thanks bro ..pls keep sharing 🙏
Thanks for this video
Tip: before you adjust your GH5 screen, keep in mind they've likely adjusted it to their own computer screens. Their computer screens probably don't look anything like your computer screen looks, unless you both have professionally calibrated screens.
just make sure to calibrate your computer screen before calibrating the monitor so they properly match like you mentioned.
yes, you have to do a color grading tutorial!
What’s your thoughts on Portrait picture profile? They say it’s good with skin tones.
wolf crow agrees
Been playing with the portrait profile
Thanks! Tomorrow I receive my GH5 and this is useful as f... Very useful.
Thanks for this video. I used these setting on my GH5 and the y looked great in my latest video. So thanks agin for this...
I love the softness of your footage. Use you a soft filter in post or denoise plug in? thank you!
Thank you for the display tips! ✌️
Thanks for the info on the monitor!
Color grading tutorial
Like this video. Struggling here!
Thanks for the great video, sorry I couldn't find brightness saturation, etc .. menus in the GH 5 , what step should I follow, thanks.
anyone know if the monitor display modifications are still relevant in 2019? just got a GH5 and not sure if panasonic fixed this issue in a firmware update or something. appreciate any feedback!!
Would love to know the same. 8 month later, have you actually tweaked your monitor display settings?
Figured this out! So in the menu, theres 2 icons that are a wrench, one of those wrenches has a "C" next to it. There's a selection for Monitor Display in there, that's not the right one. Go down in the menu to the wrench that does not have the "C" next to it. Scroll down and there's ANOTHER selection for Monitor Display. That's where the info in this video can be used. Hope it helps!
@@DirectedByBlev nice, thanks!
well done! thanks for the tips!
Good stuff. Thanks.
Your GH5 setup ensures accurate colors from the box. I did not achieve such good colors with the Lumix S1. Can you share your S1 settings?
You are perfect! I just wonder can I use same profile setting for wedding "photography" by GH5?
Doesn't negative 1 push the hue more into the greens?
Joel Adrian Harris I think so, that’s why I changed mine to +1.
Yeeeeah
Earned a new subscriber. Good stuff.
When i go to menu and monitor display I cant find any setting that allows you to change the display settings of the monitor itself. Where exactly are these settings where I can change the brightness and the contrast of the monitor itself?

This is a very helpful video and so appreciated!
Have you folks ever tried Cinema D?
Thank you folks!
Cheers, Pete
I really love what you guys do
Thanks Richard!
So you color-graded these shots from the non-Vlog footages? Turned out awesome!! I was considering buying Vlog profile but this made me reconsider 😆
Is that the Helios? mmm bokeh for days. I've been playing with that too, 116mm is a bit tight yeah. You use that for weddings?
YES.
What about iDynamic or iResolution.. People used to talk about those settings a lot on the GH4, haven't really seen or heard anybody talk about those settings now, on the GH5..
First off, much appreciation on opening up your tips on profiles! Few questions
1. Do you guys get playback issues when using your external monitors? I have an error (TV Output in progress) from my smallhd Focus I just recieved. I have to goto Playback menu > slideshow > playall and it'll play the most recent video.
2. What settings did you guys use for the one indoors for Cine-D? I can't wait for the trailer of it!
3. Are you guys really only using 3 lenses for weddings on the GH5? 10, 17.5 and 42.5? Looking to buy a lens for my gimbal but the Voigts or quite heavy.
Thanks again I hope you guys share more knowledge of your work as you continue onto create more films with the GH5s.
1. We only have noticed on the gh5 that playback happens exclusively in the external monitor and we havent figured out a way to change that. Although it doesnt bother us.
2. We just had the default setting but will mess around with other options as it wasnt the best for certain darker situations.
3. Yes. We are trying out the 35-100 2.8 panasonic lens for ceremony. that would put us at 4 lenses which is the most we prefer to keep with us at one time for portability.
Thanks for the reply. I know you guys are busy with your baby and shooting footage but if you're taking suggestions on videos, then I'd love to see how you guys utilize your lights for a reception now that you guys moved from the lowlight beast a7s and now moved to using the GH5. I'll be watching regardless :D
If y'all weren't going to color grade at all (client just wants shots straight from the camera), would you still use that custom natural profile? Or perhaps the standard profile? Thanks!
Natural or Standard would be fine for that.
So does messing with the noise reduction setting in camera actually help or would it make it worse?
Why wouldn't everyone just crank it or adjust it. Feel like he is the only one who says we shoudl touch it which I'm glad to see.
really great helpful stuff...would like to see more grading tutorials, with these GH5 settings and the lutify.me luts...just purchased the professional pack through your 10% link so thank you!, would also like to see more stuff about how you shoot with ND filters and apertures you choose for shots
just posted a grading tutorial with the lutify luts a few days ago ;) have you checked it out yet?
Yes its great and is what made me buy the lutify luts. I think most of the sample shots you used in that vdeo however were from the Sony A7s, not the GH5. It would be good to see a similar tutorial with the GH5 with the natural settings you used in this video, and also how you have got on with the vlog mode. I have had vlog since day one and find it a real struggle to grade with!. Also in your other GH5 video you mention utilising the e-stabilisation....do you use that by default with your voigtlanders or only on occasion?
we only utilize e-stabilization in rare circumstances where we need it. As for the tutorial, we only had 1 out of 6 examples with the gh5 to showcase for now. That wedding was filmed with this profile mentioned in this video. As for v-log, we still haven't had the time to dive full force into it yet so we will see. We are mainly waiting until the update comes out in a few weeks and will test that out and v-log at the same time. thanks for watching and for the comment.
Could you do a video about how your color grading is done, plz?
Hey! Great video! Very useful! Do you have such a video for gh5s? What settings to use in GH5s so GH5 and GH5s color was similar?
Would you use Natural over Vlog? Many Thanks, Great Video.
Hello! I'm a small wedding videographer from Romania (a small country from Europe), all i wanna say...is that i love your colours, can you do a tutorial for that awsome color? pleaaaase
Pana Bogdan when you say that you are living in a small country in Europe do you actually refer to the the low level of geography knowledge? I ask because România is 10 of 50 by size and population in Europe and 80 of 240 across the globe
I'm glad that you hear about Romania...but the most people didn't
that's the reason why i told small country...
I am sure that few people heard about the big bang but that doesn't make it small
Did you shoot this video on the same profile settings? Might have to give that a try!
We did ;) Graded with a Lutify LUT too!
Looks awesome - which Lutify LUT did you use - thinking of purchasing, cheers.
A few months late but loving the look of this grade, don't suppose you could share which Lutify LUT you went with?
Which lutify lut made the green so nice inthis pic ?
Awesome!
Nice video, why did you choose the natural profile instead of cine D with some adjustments? Cheers.
Great Video! What are you Zebra settings when shooting in your Natural profile??? 🙏
Congrats, awesome work!
How do you get along with the GH5's noise patterns compared to Sony A7S and Canon? - I still struggle. With Canon my work style is exposing for the look I want in camera, which means I lower the exposure for dark shots in camera and not in post. With the GH5 it does not seem to work for me this way due to extreme noise in dark shots with noise in parts of the image that are under 40 IRE. Interested in your work style! Thanks!
Cheers Georg
Can't find the display menu to get to the controls
Its on the 4th menu tab (seconds range, the one without the 'c') and than the second page, the 4th option.
So I've tried these colour setting a few times now. I actually really like them in day light but I have found that they don't handle 800 iso and above so well. it becomes noisy a lot quicker than other profiles (cine-d or portrait). Although I mainly shoot 800 iso and below sometimes I have to shoot between 800 and 3200 and this profile seems to fall apart at those isos. Has anyone had similar experiences?
I avoid natural profile for exactly that reason. I use Cine-d to give me more dynamic range and post-editing flexibility. The main difference is I bump the hue up to +2 in the picture profile to boost the skin tones.
Awesome grading!! BTW what audio device did you use?
Does customizing and adjusting the LCD screen also at same time adjusts the EVF of the gh5 so that they both look the same? TIA.
Hey Mate takes for the pro tips what is your Highlight and Shadows set at and your Master pedestal?
Great info bro, anyway, how you expose scene with gh5 ? Is it to the right (little bit over)? Or to the left (litte bit under), and for indoor scene, do you have trouble with noise ? And how you compensate that ? Thank you
Since you mentioned the -1 for Hue, do you also pull the color away from green in the white balance color adjustment? Ive seen some people do that and I havent tried it yet. I'll be filming my first wedding this weekend! Thanks! Nice video!
Because of the Hue adjustment, we don't need to pull the color away from the greens. It's pretty balanced so we don't have to tweak the color shifts too much.
I'm having trouble in low light with the Gh5... I got the Panasonic 12-35 2.8 and everything above 1000 iso has a lot of grain in it. Which pictures profile would you recommend?
DavidFromSwitzerland download Neatvideo, problem solved
get glass faster than f2 and try and stay closer to 800 iso. better glass will hold up better at higher iso as well. the voigtlanders work great for us even when we push them to 1600 iso at times.
One more thing: what's your monitor luminance setting? 1, 2, 3, or auto?
On Natural profile I get TOO MUCH RED in Colors when i psuh a bit the saturations!!! do you also notice this ?
Calen, What you guys work on? Mac? What if your mac is off? Have you checked other screens before assuming the GH5 screen needs tweaked?
Thanks for all these vids guys- you rock!
We mentioned in an earlier comment that we have calibrated our iMac 5k Retina screen and thus have a good reference for color. Have you noticed a difference in the screen from what you see in post?
White In Revery thanks guys, missed that. Na not ever paid so much attention (maybe I should now). But yea also get differences depending on what render/export I choose and then differences again when encoded by online platforms. It's all a right pain in the ass. Also my tv crushes shadows too. I worry about how my stuff looks on the various screens and platforms my client will view it on!
Could you show a clip of your ungraded and graded video with these settings and show how you grade?
Do you edit on a Mac or pc? On an older camera and Mac I tried that my video was sooo dark, but it was fine at the camera screen and a normal tv
what luminance levels do you set? 0-255 or 16-255?
Do you mess with the highlight curve or master pedestal at all?
I want to shoot a wedding but only have one GH5. Have you ever shot with one camera if so can you share the link to that wedding.
Hi can i use the same settings using a Leica 12-60mm 1:2.8 for profile and display
Nice i will try it! what do you think about CINE D and CINE V? thanks
we don't prefer those profiles that much because of the strong orange in that profile as well as how the black levels are handled. Cine V is a little too baked in for our taste.
@@Whiteinrevery cool thank you for your help guys 🙏✌️ keep going on your amazing work
This settings work with the g85?
It probably does work try it and see. The one thing is that there is no olpf on the g85 so the default sharpness is really strong
What lut did you add to this natural profile for the latest video?
For the hue setting, going to -1 makes the image more green, where as +1 appears to compensate better for the abundance of green from the gh5, is this a typo or am I missing something. Thanks!
have you tried out the setting yet? The hue adjustment seems to allow for the best skin tone colors in our opinion and doesn't shift the colors more green when we tweaked this profile.
Hey, can you explain your process for 'calibrating' your GH5's monitor? Did you copy over a few files from the SD card onto your computer and visually compare? I've been having troubles with this as well, just thought I'd ask. Thanks
Yes pretty much. Pulled up the footage in FCPX with a calibrated iMac 5k Retina screen and visually compared the same shot on the camera. The red/oranges we couldn't match perfectly but got it much closer to what it would look like once in post.
What do you think about the Voigtlander compared to Olympus 25mm 1.2 (and not 1.8)?
Which one will give me more cinematic and sharpness?
Voigtlander has more of a cinematic feel and look to it, but I wouldn't shoot lower than 1.4 for sharpness.
Thank you very much for your answer. I'd recommend you, anyway, looking to the videos of Albert Fast: "here comes the sun" and "summer 2". It's with the 25mm 1.2 by Olympus and looks just too beautiful.
I'll probably go with the voigtlander!
Are you guys always shooting 60p and then modifying the clips in post to 24 for slomo? I've always used VFR but trying to switch over to doing it this way-- undecided on what I prefer. What is your post flow for these settings?
If you use VFR, you lose audio which we really like to have. We only use VFR for 120-180fps options.
What about white balance? Do you guys use auto? Or you set it manually? I really love your color
We never use auto white balance as we see it change when changing sometimes during filming. We always set it manual.
Does anyone find the LCD on the GH5 fairly dim? even with the Luminance level at 1*?
What is your monitor luminance set at A* 1* 2* or 3*? THANKS! A is auto, 1 is brighter, 2 is normal, and 3 is darker.

Scott Sawyer a
hallo!!when you use the nokton for example 17mm 0.95, the focal length is double at 34mm, is it the same with aperture?it will go up to 1.9f?
no
Do you trust your camera monitor for exposure?
I cant seem to find the display adjustment from Monitor/Display.
you look so much like Heath Ledger.
what about photos? same settings?
How do you get such sharp video? It's so nice
4K GH5 video.
What do you have your master pedestal set to? I found my GH5 crush the blacks I set mine to +12 but I know some have set their's as high as +15.
Pedestal doesn't affect the dynamic range, it's more for matching with other cameras for livestreams. So it doesn't do anything for post. FotoJoseph did a great video on this topic
@@evocati6523 I disagree. The master pedestal is very valuable to me. I shoot live theatre, concerts and dance shows. Without the master pedestal my blacks would be crushed.
Just setup the GH5 like this to try for a while. Thanks for the tips. Any thoughts on setting up your custom settings?
I use C1 for my normal 4k 24P shooting - with autofocus
C2 for normal 4k without AF
C3-1 for 4k 60P with AF
C3-2 for 4k 60P without AF
We no longer use the C1-C3 settings as our white balance, shutters speed, iso and other various settings would not carry over from our Manual Video setting. For instance, it's easier to just change our resolution and frame rate instead of all those other settings.
I use C1 for UHD 30p (can't stand the panning judder in 24p).
C2 for UHD 60p
C3-1 for 120fps (25%)
C3-2 for 180fps
It's just a flip switch to go from AF to MF.
My-Max-Media I like to have the push to focus you get if AF is off but the switch is on. Not sure if I'm making sense, but the way that griffin hammond sets his settings in his guide.
Splendid Blended
I use back button focus with or without camera in AF.
If in manual focus but want to quick focus then lock in, it works great.
This is actually super helpful! Thanks, I switched it up!
can i ask, what was your PP and settings with A7s mark 1? cheers great content
Cine 4 with Cinema for Color Mode.
Can you guys expand on that please? I purchased your LUTs and am a sony shooter
SUBSCRIBED!!!
Do you use zebra or other for exposure?
Is this still what you guys are using for pic profile?
yep!
Same settings for nocticron 42.5 ?
