    I think your content is outstanding as someone who used Photography as a means to heal from grief. I find your stammer and sometimes nerves demonstrate someone with so much skill at CZcams and photography/ videography is also a real person he's just teaching other normal people like me how to be better at what I have fallen in love with.
    Thank you for being my teacher and helping me believe normal people still exist in this world just trying to help others.

    Congratulations on all the new life changes! I hope it all goes well 👍🏾
    Thanks to your other G7X video I have picked up my old original version and have been experimenting with it. I hope I can reach a look I enjoy with it, I think nowadays we are so used to reaching for the new best thing or release and your video reminded me of actually how we should treasure what we own already and give it more love. Im so glad I discovered your channel and also cant wait to see what other content you put out!
    Side note:- Your voice is so soothing and yes we would love a house tour 😀

    I bought this camera after your first video about it and I’m totally in love with it. Big thanks for your content, I truly appreciate your work. I’m filming videos with my iPhone using Filmic Pro app, but I’m always taking pictures with my Canon, and funny thing is, I’m not a professional anyhow, but I somehow managed to match the colors and the vibe in general of my videos from Filmic Pro and my photos from Canon. But most important, I’ve started to make way more photos for my Instagram and now my page looks better and it makes my eyes happy.

    Hi Brilliant video, Unfortunately I upgraded to the G7X mark iii for video purposes, now want to backtrack. When you mentioned 'image profile' in the video do you mean you shoot in 'standard' mode, as opposed to Fine Details or Landscape settings in the camera ? Thanks for a brilliant video, both of them :)

    I got this camera for my wife a few years back. It's pretty good for what it is. It's in a very similar condition to yours after travelling with it for so long. We bought new screws for the back screen in the electronic district of Osaka so I learned that they're called neji in Japanese. I've got to say, the jpegs are pretty great and if you use the Camera Window software you can upload your own custom HSL and Tone curves to shoot in-camera. Combined with the internal ND, zoom, and nice digital IS it's probably the best casual video camera under $3k.

    The front ring of mine is set to step zoom, so I can switch between 24-28-35-50-85-100 mms by clicking through the ring which is great to keep things consistent. I'm using shutter priority with auto ND filter, auto ISO with 4000 upper limit and I have the shutter speed and expo comp on my thumb with the dials, combined with consistent focal lengths, I just couldn't ask for more and easier control.

    I'm super pleased you did a video about a "junky" old camera, and used that funky green thing ;) to shoot the back display. I think you even used manual focus for that, right? But I totally agree that what is in the photo matters way, way more than which light-tight box you used. Suggestion: do a slide show/review of your "best" photos and then reveal at the end which camera was used for which photo. (You could even pull in some from other photogs.) I'm guessing that you have good photos from each camera, and that mostly which camera was used was mostly "that's the camera I was using at the time".

  • @candidonthestreetanupamgos5283

    There is a problem in recomposing after half pressing the focus with this camera. In my experience, it locks both focus and exposure on half press which we don't want that. Like the DSLRs or mirrorless cameras, only focus need to be locked leaving exposure free to change as you recompose because the light changes on recomposing as the frame moves. For instance a bright spot in the background was not within the frame while locking the focus but when you recompose after locking both the focus and exposure the bright spot enters the frame and as the exposure is already locked, the camera ends up blowing up the highlight.
    Is there any solution tho this? I have checked the menus and did not find any option to toggle between focus&exposure lock and focus lock only unlike DSLRs and mirrorless cameras where this option is available. Please help.
    Another big problem with this camera is that the step zoom function in manual exposure mode (M) is not available. We street photographers need to be absolutely sure at what focal lenth the lens is at. Everything depends upon the focal length such as perspective, how close we should go the subject etc. Is there any fix for this problem?

    • @johnvienna3422
      @johnvienna3422 Před 9 měsíci +1

      You can use the Ring Func button to lock focus, then the shutter is just for exposure. Bit fiddly though, and not as easy as locking or tracking focus with a proper AF ON button.

    Excellent Video
    Question:
    Do you have any idea how one turns off the auto shut off??
    I was unaware of this feature when the camera is recording and completely still for 15 minutes. My past time lapse videos obviously works without shut off. The camera has never auto shut off when I am shooting a clip in video mode. I just recently started using this camera on a tripod while filming our musical set.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, beautiful new apartment there.
    Again, enjoyed your video
