Thanks Matti. Just got my S5 today, and I'm going to start with your settings. Your approach seems logical and intuitive and will probably save me a week or more of tinkering with the S5.
You solved the problem of saving separate video and still photography settings on my S5. As a hybrid shooter, it was the biggest factor steering me towards the camera, but the handbook wasn't clear on accessing the options. Thanks!
Recently bought my S5, using EF lenses, migrating off (can't afford) Canon RP range. Loving the Lumix hybrid approach, so this is perfect & logical setup for my mostly video. OMG this just saved me hours! Thank you, great share.
Great video Marri, I recently switched over the shooting with an S5. One thing that I like about changing the dial rotation ( 3:30) is that if you display the histogram it now moves in the direction you rotate the wheel. I have the histogram on one of the Exp Comp function button so that I can quickly display it and tweak the exposure and then turn it off again. ISO is on the control dial
Thank for you for this! I really apricated with way you setup the dials to rotate all 1 way for darker image and vice versa. I'd love to see you explore the different autofocus settings, including the AF custom settings.
Thank you! The AF settings depend so much on what you shoot and what is your shooting style, that I find it difficult to recommend anything for anyone else.
I have the Lumix S5 but really don't feel confident using it in manual. Can anyone suggest a good course/youtube video for learning from the beginning?
Thank you for this great video. I am a beginner user of a professional camera and I wonder if you know of a class that goes in depth into every single feature and possibility of this camera? I would appreciate it.
Matti; great video and very helpful. Panasonic stands out to me as one of the better camera companies allowing many features for the customization of its camera menu systems. The ability to customize the Q-Menus allowing one Q-Menu for photos and another for Videos is simply great! Is this a feature of the S5 only or can this apply to the G9 also?
This is great. Can you break down your choice of settings with an applied situation? Maybe cover less settings. This will give more explanation time. Thanks
Thanks this is very helpful. Particularly saving the photo video settings for hybrid work. Im still trying to figure which brand is the best at this. My Nikon D750 saves everything automatically, but I want to move on from Nikon.
Thanks for your settings Matti. I have also, on my S5, configure the menu C1, C2 and C3 depending on the type of photo I take, portrait, street or lanscape. ;-) I love my Lumix S5. I just bought the TTArtisan 50mm 1.4, you know it ?
This video looks so good and explanatory that I would like to understand it, I usually read the translation that youtube does in the subtitles, but in this case only the Vietnamese language appears, and when I translate it, it definitely has nothing to do with what you speak, CZcams made the mistake of subtitling you as Vietnamese when the language is English
That's a problem with most camera brands, because there are so many different models. However, for example with Panasonic you can have very similar control set up from the G90 up all the way to the S1.
Thanks. I just purchased S5 ii and these settings are helpful. Is there a way to playback image right after its shot without pressing the play button. I am used to Canon camera and after I shoot the image I want to see the image show on screen automatically. Thank you
Thanks. That's an old video already and I'm actually not using Lumix actively any more. I'm also not an ambassador any more. So, I don't have the camera to double check the settings and menus, but you definitely can turn on the instant review/ auto review. Please, take look at the user's manual and you'll find the correct setting.
My s5 raw images when I bring them into lightroom / photpshop or capture one they are super dark?? 🤦♂🤷♂🤷♂ even though I made sure to check the exposure meter and over expose a little! Have you had this issue??
I notice when I change settings like aperture, or shutter I don't get a live view of it. I only know the results after I have taken the picture when I view it. Do you know if there is a way around that? Thanks!
Exactly.... searched forever to return really nothing on that. I wish waveforms would be available in photo mode to help expose vlog easier. I get it now! WAVEFORMS ARE NOT AVAILABLE IN PHOTO MODE. Your comment would have saved me hours of searching the topic. Would be nice if LUMIX would just show a quick error message instead of allowing you to add it as a custom button function..... only to go and test and find out it does not apply.
Matti, I can’t find a way to contact you on your website. Do you do any personal instruction via Zoom or FaceTime? I’m in Canada and struggling with the instructions for my new S5. I follow all your You Tube videos but still have questions! Thanks!
I’ve got a small but needs to be fixed issue on a brand new S5. Service & warranty says I have to send the body abroad for checking, to evaluate the time it’s off from action and if the matter goes under the warranty or not. Don’t mind too much if it goes under warranty or not, it is a simple thing to fix, but the time it takes for the whole process worries me. Would you have any experience in Lumix after sales or warranty practices, what can one except? If I’d send the body, would I have to have a holiday for weeks or months?
I'm not a brand ambassador any more and I don't own this camera any more. As far as I can remember you can hide the audio levels, but I don't remember how. Please take a look at the camera user manual. It's a really good source of info.
You have to shoot from such angle that there are no reflections or glare in the picture. You have to experiment maybe with a stationary car and find out the correct angles.
Hi, thank you for the tutorial. I’m a new Panasonic shooter. I am an s5 owner and I keep getting the message, “This item can’t be selected” when I attempt to change the focus peaking sensitivity in the settings. Do you know what could be the issue?
Not sure if this is a pointless phobia, or a practical concern, but I find the swivel screen on the S5 to be vulnerable. Because the screen is flush with the base of the camera, and only connected to the S5 body by a small pivot, I fear there could be excessive leverage if it rested on a hard object. Not having owned a swivel screen camera before, only tilting varieties, is this a problem or does it exist only in my head? The screen on my camera already has a slight vertical rock on the right, and I've begun using a tripod plate to lift it away from any pressure.
There are dozens of flippy screen cameras out there and I don't think they are particularly vulnerable. However, it's possible to break anything or everything😀
@@mattisulanto A micro cage is available for the S5 which provides a base, and a small bracket to support cables or add a light. It might be what I'm looking for. Thanks for the reply.
Hi Matti, have you had any experience with using an external release cable? When i attach on to my S5 or G9 it automatically records in video. Any idea how to change this? I want to do long exposures using bulb exposure, but cant seem to do it. Any hints would be very much appreciated. I have a Hanhnel Captur timer.
Hi Matti, first of all great video, very useful! So thanks for that! I've just bought my S5, but I can't find a way to have manual control on ISO, shutter and aperture. With C1-C2 or C3 configuration when I change these values with dials, nothing happens. But sometimes they change in automatic depending on the light conditions that I find myself in. With my previous camera (GH5) I had a full manual control on all those parameters. Could you, please, help me with this? Thanks in advance!
Thanks. First check what you actually saved in C1, C2 and C3. It sounds like you were not in M mode when you saved those custom modes. But in order to help more I'd have know all your camera settings or better yet, hold your camera in my hand😀
@@lorenzopantani2236 Your camera will save your current settings in C modes. You have to be in M mode when you save the C mode. Please read the manual page 337 (English manual).
@@mattisulanto , well great minds think alike, plus I love the compact nature, lighter weight and extensive range of m4/3rds lenses, so I'll stay with this system and rationalize the number of lenses I have available to use. Thanks for your input.
I've had my S5 for about a month now and I still learned a LOT from this video. Thanks Matti. Looking forward to some S5 content

That is interesting. I removed the Vietnamese titles and I'll have to see if I can put English titles there.
@@mattisulanto Thx !
Good job!
Thanks!
I haven't figured out a universal system for my Panasonic cameras. It probably would be difficult with different amounts of dials and buttons.
That's a problem with most camera brands, because there are so many different models. However, for example with Panasonic you can have very similar control set up from the G90 up all the way to the S1.

Is it possible to view your image on the screen without having to go into the display to see it?
I don't understand your question. You press the play button to view your photos.
