Setting up your camera before you shoot is one of the most important factors to getting the results you're after.
In this video, I break down all of the different tools and settings I use inside the Panasonic S5 for recording video internally.
If you're looking to shoot the best quality video on the Panasonic S5, then I really do hope that this video helps you to get everything where it needs to be.
The Panasonic S5 and other Lumix S-Series cameras are absolutely incredible for video production, and when they're used correctly they can give you results that are far beyond their price-point.
As always, thank you so much for watching this video and if you're a fellow Lumix S5 user and this helps you then please let me know in the comments!
Thanks! - Hudba
This was a fantastic video that was extremely easy to follow and will definitely give me some great starting points for my own video adventure with my camera. So thank you very much for taking the time to explain this in a way people new to the platform can understand. I came from the GH3 and the GH2 but I decided to upgrade and I really think your videos have been extremely helpful.
Awesome video mate! Have been subscribed for a few weeks now and you really taught me how to use my S5 properly. Big thanks! Looking forward to new videos
Really happy you’re subscribed and I hope the vids I make keep on delivering value for you 🙌🏼
Awesome video! Rally needed this. I'm about to buy the S5 ii and appreciate the help how to set up video since im most interested in that! Please keep the S5 content coming!
I'm into computers, not cameras, so learning filming hasn't been easy for me. Thank you for making these videos, my S5 has been the workhorse of my YT channel and content like this helps me grow :) Your lighting looks amazing btw!! Subbed!
Thank you so much for the kind words 🙌🏼 really happy vids like this are helpful for you. Really appreciate you subscribing too; I hope my vids can carry on delivering value for you 🙌🏼
What a great video! Quick, on-point and very informative. I had to create a playlist to save this. I will look through your other videos as well.
Keep it up like this, too many CZcamsrs fill their videos with fluff that takes ages to go through.
Thanks for the help!
I like to keep my videos as concise as possible, so thanks for recognising that :)
@@JoshCameron hi , thank You for your informative channel, and I have a question, I have my s5 +LUMIX pro 24-70 lens, and I really don’t know how to turn on the AF (( the button AF is not reacting when I switching between S C and MF it’s just always in MF , maybe you know how to turn on AF. Thank you 🙏
Such a great, helpful video. I just got an s5, and this got me to everything I need to be able to get back to work using this along with my other camera, and then just learn on the fly about the deeper parts of this camera, but for now, I have all my custom buttons hooked up for my basic settings, and I'm off and running. And I tested the autofocus and it's surprisingly good! I come from a Sony a6400, and this didn't disappoint me at all, at least in the way I work. In manual focus mode, when you grab focus with the "a/f on" button, it locks in so fast and then you can shoot in manual mode. It's perfect for that kind of shooting, and as far as the continuous af, it's definitely not quite as "locked in" as my Sony, but I haven't messed with the settings yet, but it actually works pretty well using your settings. The truth is, other than talking head stuff, there is no camera on earth that is truly reliable with continuous autofocus, tracking autofocus, etc. All cameras hunt now and then, and for professional work, nobody is always relying on autofocus. But for talking head stuff, as long as you're well lit, this feels pretty great so far. Anyway, thanks so much for sharing, much appreciated. Oh, and the 10 bit, 422 4k files play really well in Davinci Resolve. At least on my machine. That was a relief as well. Thanks!
Josh Josh Josh My Man, you the Best, been waiting for this, Woooooow, let me sit with my Popcorn and learn, and Thanks for making it 14plus minutes longer, Love this
Woah, notification gang! That was quick haha! Thanks buddy, hope you enjoy this one!
I do a lot of live action real world military videos/photos and I'm working on an equipment list for my unit. I've been using my personal A7III, but I'm considering presenting the S5 as an option and your videos have made it very compelling. Good auto focus/tracking is very important in my work so I'm researching to see if the S5 can do it. I used to focus manually all the time but there are no second takes when I'm in the field.
Man, I just got my new S5 and I'm like eating up all your videos on this Camera Hahaha, Thank You @JoshCameron great stuff!
Very helpful! Thank you! Learned some new tricks for my new camera.
I've been struggling with my S5 and your videos have been incredibly helpful, thank you for putting these together.
I have an S5 on the way and am second guessing the purchase. Can you explain what you're struggling with?
@@kevhuynh I have a small CZcams channel and the S5 looks great but in terms of ease of use and for filming oneself, my Sony ZV-1 smashes...only problem is that it only records in 5 min increments at 4K 30fps, the S5 can do 20 minutes...or longer I think. Im starting to feel like the S5 was made for an actual camera operator, and not a content creator that films himself. That said, I haven't invested a ton of time into learning all the details of the camera. But to directly answer your question AUTOFOCUS!!!
Thank you so much for this guide. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for watching Gonçalo, enjoy your S5 🙌🏼
Love your Content for the S5! I'm new to Panasonic and want to get into Video (never filmed before) so this comes at the right time
Thank you! Really glad this video helps! Good luck shooting :D
Thanks for sharing. I think your video wasn't too long. You presented very well the key points about the features and options of interest. Very interesting and very useful to a beginner.
Thanks Nikolaos :)
That cleared up a few things I wasn't quite certain of. The options on the S5 are pretty robust, and it's great to find detailed info like this.
Glad this video was helpful for you!
hi Josh, I am a subscriber and I really like your videos! I have already for 3 years the lumix G9 (very happy) but the full format very good in high iso and low light so I bought on your advice the Lumix S5 the day before yesterday !!! soon I will test it !!! Continue to make great videos !!!
(I am French, English translated by google)
Thank you for the kind words! I really hope you enjoy your new camera - Let me know how you get on with it :) Merci :)
excellent and superhelpful content. Thanks a lot!
Great video as always mate!
Cheers buddy! 🙌🏼
Nice, Thank you for the walkthrough. Helpful for the stuff I do on my channel.
Your video was so so so helpful !!! Thank you !
Cracking video man, keep up the good work
Thanks dude!
Great video, thanks Josh 👍
Thanx a lot Josh! I was checking the video setup for the s5 on Sam his channel but I didn't get it with the shutter angle. Thank you for the explanation ^^
You're welcome dude!
Thanks for the tips!
My pleasure!
Hi, Congratulations on your very complete and useful videos. A video on ISO management, especially dual ISO, would be interesting. Thank you
Very insightful mate, thank you very much! Subbed 🙂
Thanks for subscribing!
I really hope Panasonic are giving you the commission you deserve dude! Great video as always 😎
Thanks so much buddy, really appreciate it!
Well, are they?
Another solid roundup Josh, think I might give Cine-D a shot for those times when I need a lighter workload than V-Log. Natural is very good, but there are some hues in different skin tones that I'm tired of battling against.
Hey Josh! Great to hear from you buddy - Yeah I know what you mean by that actually, although I haven't had that many issues with Natural's skintones, and normally they come in a little magenta for me, so I just compensate for that in camera normally!
great info Josh!
Cheers Pav!
Man! the part "NTSC vs PAL Recording" solve my issue with some night lights flickering! Have no idea thats was the problem, thank you 😉
You're welcome dude!
That deep blue in the background looks incredible!
Thanks Desmond! Literally just moved and this is my office in the new place - so glad you like my colour choice 😂🙌🏼
@@JoshCameron I feel like I haven’t seen that specific shade of blue expressed in a grade before. It’s not easy to keep an RGB light saturated with a lot of spill from a key light or other background lights. Keep up the great content.
im a big fan of you, i also have s5 these videos are nice
Thanks dude! Really appreciate the support!
Thank You. From Brasil.
Cheers André
big thanks man
Thanks for watching!
Nice! Saving for later
🙌🏼🙌🏼
Thanks for this in-depth video! I really like how you get straight into the details!
Could you explain if there is a noticeable difference in video quality of a lower bitrate MP4 vs a higher bite rate MOV file for a layperson?
Cheers!
Thanks for watching, Kai! Always try to keep my videos straight to the point 👍🏼
So in terms of a noticeable difference, you shouldn’t see “too much” difference to the naked eye, however when you got to edit an MP4 file it won’t be anywhere near as robust as the MOV files due to the lower write rates.
4K 10bit MP4 files at 100mb/s will still perform way better than any a lot of the other brands out there since it’s still a 10bit colour format and 100mb/s is respectable. However, the 150/200mb options in MOV will definitely give you the most flexibility.
Hope this helps!

Thank you 🙌🏼
Gracias 😊
Loving your S5 videos mate. I’ve ordered one today and can’t wait to use it. Have you used the 20-60 lens in lower light for videos? I’d be interested to hear your views and any tips. I’ve also got the 50 and 85 f1.8
Cheers Oli, you're gonna love it! I haven't actually had much experience with the 20-60 kit lens, but i've seen quite a lot of work with it and it's a fantastic lens for a lot of stuff. I'm sure it'd do just fine in lowlight, as long as there's some directed light at the subject (just to ensure no noise on them etc)
thank YOU. no need to thank us. Your explanation is a1
Great video, very helpful as always! Thanks
P.S. On a side note, don't know why I couldn't help thinking that you'd fit perfectly in a Netflix series about the Krays :)
Hahaha the sidenote caught me off guard! Do I look like them then?
Good video. Thanks. toronto canada. I use a Panasonic G9.
For recording an interview, what settings do you recommend for autofocus? Excellent video, thanks!
AMAZING!!
Can you made a explained video about S5 with other lens brands ?
I miss these tutorials in youtube
I can definitely do this at some point!
Thanks again for the kind words!
@@JoshCameron It will be amazing to find " Lumix S5 Lens Guide " , Especially when using Non- L mount lenses and using adapters and your experience on that
Thanks to u a lot
thanks a lot
You’re more than welcome 🙌🏼
Thanks for the review. I'm looking to change from my Nikon 750 to a decent and better AF camera and I think your review might help me make the decision. Question - if you change from photo to video and vice versa, does that affect the settings? That's does it keep the old setting when you return to the previous mode?
Hello Josh, great video!! It helps a lot. I have a question about tho color profiles. Do you adjust the natural profile and the cinelike d2 individually or do you just use them as they are?
It would be really helpful if you could answer me. Thank you 🙏🏼
Hey Samuel; thanks for the kind words!
So when i shoot natural, I normally don’t tweak at all (maybe a little more saturation to taste but that’s it).
When I use cinelike D I will do some adjustments to the contrast and saturation, so a little more in depth comparatively to natural.
Hope this helps!
@@JoshCameron That helps a lot. Thank you!
Panasonic ❤❤❤❤
Hey dude, thanks for all your help with the S5. You literally won’t believe it I’ve had to return my replacement S5 because it too is faulty!. This time there is a dead pixel in the sensor that I didn’t notice!. Sensor is clean as it’s brand new so def isn’t dust. So yea two out of two Panasonic cameras with sensor defects!. I’m definitely staying subbed to your channel but I’m going to wait now for the Sony A7IV!. Don’t think I’ll ever buy another Panasonic camera again!. I mean I’ve had my old Nikon D5000 for 12years and my Sony RX100va for 18months and both have been flawless!. Get a Panasonic and both are effectively broken!.. like literally can’t believe it 🤦♂️
Hey man, so weird you had the experience with Panasonic and such a shame as well. All the Panasonic cameras i've used have been flawless so that's definitely a phenomenon!
Thanks for choosing to stay subbed though dude, I really appreciate that. Hopefully the Sony A7IV suits you to the ground :D
@@JoshCameron hey Josh. I know it’s just bizzare I have a theory, just a theory. That being possibly Amazon UK where I purchased it received in refurbished or seconds stock (like clothes sold in outlet stores) reduced in price due to defects!. It’s just odd that they could sell the camera for practically 50% off just over £1000 for a camera that’s usually and at the moment from Amazon is £1999!. It just makes me wonder because he’s receiving two defective cameras in a row is so unlikely and from a Japanese company like Panasonic! My other theory is due to the pandemic did quality controls slip at the factories in China due to increased demand etc!. All theories but I wouldn’t be surprised if an entire production batch is faulty!.
Tbh if I see the S5 for a great price again I’d be willing to give it one last chance. Because the limited experience I had was fantastic, I found the auto focus to be flawless apart from in say a badly light room!. But yes it’s a shame. I’m anticipating the Sony A7IV being ridiculous expensive like £3000 with a kit lens. I think all these channels predictions the camera with lens to be £2000 is in for a bad surprise!.
Great video as always. Can I ask what sd cards you use. I’m finding when shooting high burst photos my cards buffer a lot. Thanks
Hi Carl!
Here are the cards I use:
SD Cards (UHS-1)
UK - amzn.to/2QTVKX3
US - amzn.to/3doDlZN
DE - amzn.to/2Po5acV
SD Cards (UHS-ii)
UK - amzn.to/3w89ddQ
US - amzn.to/3fqQGUg
DE - amzn.to/31BJMn1
Thanks for that. I use the same one but still buffering for the 1
Awesome video! A quick query, how do you adjust the shutter angle to 180 degrees once you set it to angle/iso in the menu? My GH5 was a doddle but I cant find it anywhere on the S5. ... Sorry for the noob question!
Edit: Ok sorted it, you have to be in shutter priority mode within video mode and then you use the top rear wheel to adjust...
I always shoot in full manual so I’ve never had an issue finding it! But yeah shutter priority and M would be the best bet so you can access to that option!
Glad you sorted it Rob!
Thanks! What AF mode would you choose for for example fast bikes or a car passing by?
Beautiful image ! whats the lens you are using with your S5 for this vlog? Thanks
I think I was using the 24-105 in this video :)
Josh which profile do you suggest in low light conditions? I don't think V-Log but maybe wrong
Hello! tell me, please, do you use an external stabilizer in your work? if so, which one (I'm talking about dji or similar)?
Hi Josh. Do you know if we can disable the shutter button from triggering recording? Can't find it anywere... Tnxs!
I was wondering if you can shoot videos with the lumix at slow speed such as 1/8th 1/15th For a step printing effect is it possible ?
Josh, do you record in C4k or 4K? Any preference between the two? I've been recording in C4k but don't want to shoot in that larger format if it's not worth it.
I actually shoot in regular 4K. C4K isn’t too much different tbh!
@@JoshCameron i actually saw a video that showed that 3840x2160 is the full sensor width, which means that C4k is more cropped in so you get less quality although it sounds like more reolution. But in 4k60, C4K is higher resolution becasue it is cropped in and has more pixels on the wide side. But like you said its indistinguishable
Hello! Can I set different volume on audio channels ? Thx!
hello nic video very helpfull, but what lut do you use for color?
I do the colouring myself, but the conversion LUT I use for my V-Log is spoken about here:
czcams.com/video/zIRE-8D7CUs/video.html
Thank you for this! What LUT you recommend for monitoring?
Gamut.Io V-Log to rec709 conversion lut … it’s what I use for monitoring and as a base for my grading :)
@@JoshCameron All right! Thx.
Will you be doing any reviews using the Blackmagic video assist 12g and BRAW/ProRes recording?
I'm definitely planning on it!
hey josh i have a massive problem with my feelworld f5 pro external monitor, maybe u could help me: it has massive lag due to hdmi output is only available in 4k 25, and i CAN NOT change it to fhd on the S5, its driving me crazy. will buying a upperclass monitor solve this problem? or do u know why the resolution options are greyed out with my monitor connected?
i would love to hear your answer :)
Why doesn't the setting shutter angel function on my camera?
You probably need to do an update buddy :)
Hii Josh. Im very with my s5 but LVF screen is low brightness. Lcd and LVF is diffferent. How can i fix it ? Thx.
JOSH, Do you not have any special settings for your preferred picture profiles?
Hey William! No special settings at all, just V-Log straight out of camera and same with Cinelike D on the rare occasion I use that profile :)
What about metering mode, full or centre for video?
Nice what was the exact video setting for this video ?
Does the DMW XLR1 work with the S5???
Do you have a follow focus rig? I find it quite hard to use the focus ring on the lens especially when handheld
I don’t currently… however I’m working on a video where I build out a bigger rig … stay tuned for that😉
What about maintianing the 180 deg shutter in bright conditions...i.e ND filters? What about using HLG mode?
Hey Kevin, maintaining 180 degrees is of course a “rule” to abide to, and I prefer not to shoot in HLG personally :)
Hi Josh its me again, you say AF looks more natural with these settings but for me, its already so slow compared my old canon 200d that Id prefer the AF to be more reactive. So can you advice me the best settings?
Thank
If you want the AF to be more reactive then you can boost the sensitivity and speed up to around +1 or +2 :)
How to open and edit MOV 10 bit video on Windows? its not opening and when i try to convert it the quality is just awfull. what is the best way to work with it?
Hi Josh, great video, it explains a lot. I bought me a Lumix S5 and in my menue the options for Master Pedal and S/gain operator are missing. How can I make them appear? I asked Panasonic, they have no clue. I asked the seller, they have no clue. Now I hope to find answers amoung professionals. How do these selections appear in the menue?
Hi Corey, chances are you need a firmware update. Have you updated to the latest firmware for the camera?
@@JoshCameron I have no idea that this was needed. Sorry, Panasonic are just useless when it comes to customer support. So you suggest I should download a new firmware on the camera?
9:54 The focus peaking is pretty weak. Easy firmware fix, I would think. Thanks for your content, Josh!
Thank you for watching! Yeah I’m sure it can easily be fixed with firmware, would be nice to see that happen!
Which lens do you use in this video
Hi what is the setting I have to use for the Autofocus tracks the eye while filming. I mean if I want the camera to follow the model's eye when I move backward forward and the picture will not be out of focus? I cannot seem to get that. I have set AFC and human detect, but it does not focus automatically only if I press the shutter button halfway down. What am I doing wrong?
Have you got the AF Set to "works all the time' instead of 'only while recording'? That could be your issue. Also, I don;t think the S5 supports EYE AF, only face and body unfortunately
hi lumix s5 2x direct to broadcast hdmi ( i ) output channel please show it
Hey Josh! I have an S5 and I'm quite liking it. But I have to say that I absolutely hate the slo mo in it. The bit rate is so low that the 1080p modes look like 720p that's been upscaled. The visuals all end up looking really muddy.
4k 60 is a tad bit better but it is a real shame that anything above 60 is virtually unusable in a professional setting.
Any idea if this is something that can be fixed with a firmware update in the future? Is there anyway to contact panasonic to find out?
Hey Joel, I get what you’re saying here. The S&Q function isn’t something I use very often but I can definitely tell the difference in quality when I do use it.
My advice for now would be only to use it when you can give a decent amount of light to the subject you’re filming. Normally you can make a lower birthdate/ lower res image look 10 times better with good light.
Hopefully with firmware they might bump up the codecs a bit to beef out the high frame rate options, but that’s something we’ll have to wait for I guess to see if that ever happens!
If you want professional bit rates buy the s1h or the gh5. The s5 is more like a g9 than gh or sh. S5 has half the bit rate options a gh5 has , of course you can see a difference if you really want. Normal viewers will never see it. Most cameras you can buy at this price point dont even reach the s5 specs so i guess you really ask for too much from such a cheap camera.
Just bought the S5. Does yours have a low-resolution preview when shooting video? I have been testing it on the higher ISO to see its low light capabilities. When doing so, the S5 LCD screen will show a noisy preview. But when I press the record button, most of the noise cleans right
Yes that's totally normal. Before you hit record it does show quite noisy but then cleans up when recording :)
@JoshCameron Thanks for the response. I am use to the GH5 and it never did that on the LCD screen. So I was hoping my S5 wasn't a defect lol. Good to know.
When you record slo motion does your computer or editing software say the clip is 120fps or 60fps? I find I’m recording in 120fps in camera and my computer file says 60fps
When recording at 120p in S&Q mode, it slows it down in camera to whatever frame rate you set… you don’t get a 120p file unfortunately !
@@JoshCameron exactly what I thought! Thanks for the clarification!
Wait are u using the s5 right now for this video if so wow am about to buy it now
I was indeed! My main workhorse for video 🙌🏼
Hi Josh, what happens when I have filmed in two different frame rates, one in 4k 25fps, one in 4k 50fps ? I would like to include both in the same timeline, so what timeline frame rate speed do I select at the beginning when creating a new project and what output speed do I select to make sure it plays correctly, and plays both normal motion and and slow motion ? Total beginner, cheers.
Okay so what you need to do is make a 25p timeline and then you can slow your 50p footage down to 50% speed, and your 25p footage will remain 100% speed :) Hope this helps!
@@JoshCameron thx Josh. Perfect explanation mate. Exactly what I needed.
Loving your channel and love using my new s5. Keep up the great work. Subbed for support
I‘m wondering if shooting V-Log is really that much of more work in post compared to Cinelike-D. Since you have to touch both I guess in the end it‘s neglectable if using a conversation LUT 🤔
To be honest, the difference in workload is minimal. However, you can always spend a lot longer tweaking log footage so I guess it gives you that option !
True, If I am going to use a LUT, I might as well be in VLOG. I think I will eventually adjust (add contrast & saturation) CineD and just start taking it straight out of camera.
If your workflow for Cinelike D includes a conversion LUT, then v-log isn't any more work, really. I do the standard practice of applying REC709 conversion LUT, then tweak for correction, apply secondary LUT for looks like Eterna, then tweak a bit further if necessary. This is my workflow for Cinelike D and v-log, and there's no difference in the amount of work needed.
Let’s see if you have a video about vlog and editing..
Very handsome, but great information
Hey, Josh! I know you don't use Zebras, but I was wondering if you knew where VLOG clips? At what EV level does VLOG clip? And as far as zebras go, is 100% relative to the profiles you're shooting in, (as a percentage measurement should be)? Example - 100% in standard is clipped, 100% in vlog is clipped, even though the 100% in vlog is at a higher EV. I hope my curiosity in this matter is coming across. If this is the case, Sony and Panasonic obviously disagree on what these percentage values are based on, because Sony can be set higher than 100%. Anyway, thanks for your content and being a LUMIX advocate. It's so nice to take a break from the Sony cult once in a while! Ha!
Hey buddy, V Log clips below 18% IRE, and around 85% IRE, with V Log L (on the GH models) clipping around 80% IRE; there's a distinctive roll-off between 80-85% for specular highlights and whites. Different manufacturers use different Gamuts and Gamma curves for their own Logarithmic colour space. Shooting in Log will be most useful for camera-matching between different manufacturer models, or for expanding dynamic range in a WELL-LIT scene. Using any Log profile for underexposed images or low light scenarios will give you noisy results, lacking detail. Also worth noting that the bit depth matters - a 10-bit image will give you the necessary lattitude to naturally correct the colour space without any compression artifacts or chrominance noise, if you're shooting in 8-bit, you're better off using the 'Flat' profile, instead of a Log curve, as you won't have to push/pull the saturation intensity too hard.
Also White Balance is SO important when shooting in Log - you'll notice colour contamination, exaggerated chromatic abberation, and untameable colour casts on neutrals (black, grey & white) if you get it wrong!
@8KisOK Spot on! Couldn't have put it better myself. I have noticed that S/N ratio gives between 12-13 "useable" stops on dynamic range, but there's still detail in the lowest range, if you're careful with your exposure.
@8KisOK @Coda Sessions Thanks y'all! Much appreciated!
It looks like your questions have been answered! Thanks guys for making this a place where people help out one another, I appreciate that 🙌🏼
what about the flat profile on the s5?
It's okay, but it wouldn't be my first choice :)
So should shoot in 180 or 360
I don’t know what I’m doing wrong here, but Focus Peaking stopped working for me about a week ago. Whenever I used to press my custom Fn button to trigger peaking, everything worked fine. All of a sudden one day when I pressed that button, nothing happened. Very strange as I then mapped that button to perform a different function and it worked fine. It’s only focus peaking that won’t work for me now.
That’s very strange, sorry to hear you’re having that issue.
Are you running on the latest firmware by any chance? That’s something I’d double check first as it could be as simple as an update to fix!
Has the autofocus improved at all since launch, it’s the only thing stoping me from buying it. Any advice man?
Honestly mate, I wouldn’t be so caught up on it, it’s absolutely fine for most of my use cases and the camera itself deserves so much more credit than simply “af is bad” because it is a seriously amazing body!
@@JoshCameron so for example for ameture documentary making/following a subject down a street it would be ok?
Totally! Would be just fine!
If he uses manual for paid work...then what does that tell you....I have the S5 and still not happy with the AF and have used the tips from Luca Bono as well...it's simply not good enough to rely on and why I will be making a shift to Sony after far too many years of making excuses with Lumix.
@@IronMacFitness hmm that’s interesting thank you
Just what the doctor (read camera fiend) ordered.
😂 hope you found this useful mate!
@@JoshCameron it was indeed :)
Can someone help? I have a skin tone issues with my Panasonic S1 and with S5. While shooting V-Log in 4k with 50p over HDMI to either Atomos Ninja V or Atomos Shogun Inferno I'll get blotchy skin tones with magenta blotch artifacts. Also while recording internally on SD Card with 50p | 200M | LongGoP. 50p is unusable as of now. For all who ask themselves, yes, I knows how to expose v log correctly. It's really sad as the 4k 25p looks gorgeous. I'm on firmware 2.1 with the S1
Josh I really like your videos, but for me that I'm not english is a little bit difficult to understand still attention, because you speak so fast! 😅 I'm not saying that this is bad, but maybe for some kind of people which is not english, should do not be easy understand you, like me! Great video and thank you for your help 💪 👍 obrigado 🇵🇹
No worries, I’ll try to slow down!
Uh "NTSC" other than that this was very insightful.
Haha! I corrected my mistake with an annotation! Sorry about that bud
Holy moly you talk fast! Any chance you can slow down a bit?
Hahaha i'm working on it!
Your content is great. I would appreciate it if you could go a little slow. It gives us time to make the change to my camera too.
Thank you very much! Of course, I'll try to slow down the delivery next time :)
Look into the lens.
Yes Charlie, Sorry Charlie
@@JoshCameron Great video Many thanks.
the top IRE line isn't 100IRE, I think its 110.
I love my S5. But it has let me down many times. Mosrly In live concert situations. If there is smoke or flashing lights, auto focus takes a vacation. If you combine manual with autofoucus in these scenarios, its a recipe for disaster. Best to go full manual. I see people on CZcams doing focus tests. Nobody does flashing lights or smoke.
What's this NSTC you speak of? 😂
