The footage looks good, but I can't really see any difference in picture quality to my GH2. What I think is important to note is that using the AF at any location without permits will always be a problem. Using the GH2 in any situation is easy.
I guess what I'm saying is the stealth factor of say a GH2 or 7D is, for practical filmmakers, essential. That's an interesting point. Kind of ridiculous that one form of photography is more "acceptable" than another. But, what's impractical about obtaining permits? OR just get me a 5d with some freakin audio functionality. Dave, firstly, if you're gonna be picky about the codec, record to an outboard recorder via HD SDI as obviously suggested.
While not 10bit, the higher and bitrate is worth it. You can get an adaptor witha built in aperture, or you can wait for birger engineering to bring out their EF lens controller with optional FF remote to come out. I'm looking forward to using that with my EF lenses. By the way, I agree with you about , it's a terrible lens really. I'm hoping it will loosen up with a bit of use.
Seems to have done so a little. Most lenses with have some sort of dot or line indicating the correct spot to line up with the adapter.
Once properly aligned, press in gently and turn counter-clockwise until it clicks and locks into place. If you are using the Lumix lens you will not need an adapter and simply have to line up the red dot on the lens with the one on the camera.
There are a variety of ways to record audio with the Panasonic AF The most common and recommended way is via an XLR cable that goes into one of the two XLR inputs at the top of the right side of the camera.
When plugging in the XLR cables, ensure that if you are plugged into Input 1 the camera is set accordingly to Input 1 as well. Also, be sure to set the input to Mic when using an external microphone of any kind. When using a shotgun or condenser microphone, a standard XLR cable is sufficient. When using a lavaliere microphone, however, a 3. To adjust volume levels, use the two small dials on the left side panel of the camera.
The input levels will be displayed on the LCD screen via white boxes in the bottom left corner. These are just a few of the main ones you will use regularly. It comes equipped with 2 slots for extra storage space, and can be manually selected via the Slot Select buttons on the rear of the camera.
SD cards are normally kept in the camera at all times and only removed to download footage. If the camera does not have an SD card in it, they can be found at Natalies or Mos desk. Viewfinder:To view what is in frame, you can either use the LCD screen or the viewfinder.
Normally the LCD screen will be open to provide access to the information within your shot. Having it open also allows access to the function buttons beneath it.
You may choose to use the viewfinder when dealing with outdoor settings with bright sunlight, or if you simply prefer to use the viewfinder over the LCD. In order to turn on and utilize the viewfinder, you can either close the LCD screen or flip it to face away from you.
Waveform Monitor:To get a better idea of how much light or luminance is in your shot, you can utilize the Waveform Monitor, which is accessed via the WFM button on the cameras inside panel. Once on, it displays a white graphic on a graph.
The closer the white is to the top of the graph, the more luminance in your shot and therefore the brighter the image will be. By Peter from Lelystad, Netherlands on This was my second purchase with this company. Panasonic AG-AC By Fredaero from Saudi Arabia on Open as PDF. To monitor the status of all settings, and to perform critical focusing functions, the AVCCAM camcorder features both a high-quality 3. Panasonic HC-PV Canon XF For more info, please call The AF is a pro camera with settings for pro users.
It has several controls like knee and gamma to protect the highlights, with more latitude than the GH2. To get a great image with the AF use the flattest picture profile, with "Detail" and "Coring" dialed down all the way -6 or -7 , expose with the built-in waveform, and use a great lens like the Voigtlander 50mm.
I've probably shot more on Panasonic cameras than any other brand All of those cameras have great color except for the AF I had gotten quite used to shooting with the CineD gamma, bumping the pedestal up and dialing detail all the way back btw, if detail is set to -7, it doesn't matter what detail coring is set to because it only effects the image when there's detail enhancement.
The AF on the CineD gamma is completely awful with disgusting color. The color on some of the other gammas and matrices are okay, but no comparison with Panasonic's other cameras.
Honestly I think the has more dynamic range than the AF, if only because of the stronger bit codec that lets you use all the dynamic range. Another key for the is turning off the aggressive noise reduction and instead do noise reduction in post. Anyway, the GH2 doesn't really produce images quite like the older Panasonic video cameras, but I've gotten much better results than I did on the AF Why couldn't they have gotten it right in the AF?
Its not such a bad camera.. All it really needs is 10 bit and a better monitor with focus punch I think Panasonic has the opportunity to really come out on top here. The sensor in the af is a good size, it's a good balance between a large sensor cam and a usable eng style camera.
With that sensor size it's also alot easier to bring out a good light weight zoom that is not 20k plus. Things I would like to see are Better internal codec avc intra to micro p2 would be great 2. Better dynamic range, even if it matches hpx with drs turned on I would be happy 3. Servo Zoom lens, partner with Fujinon to make this happen.
Keep the form factor, I'm not a fan of reaching around my head to change exposure Thank you very much Canon 6. Better menu system, more robust body, i. Make a bit more Professional use an ex1 then go to af it's like using a toy. Personally, I think Panasonic is letting the other manufacturers release their products and 'play' in the market. I think they have some killer products waiting.
Video and cinema for that matter is deeply rooted in Panasonic's history. GH1 and GH2 are amazing product, and I can use them as my main camera I did many project with it rented equipment. For paid job, in front of picky clients, I needed something bigger and more practical than my GH2, to shoot documentary, film like project and interviews, by myself or with a single assistant.
I really dont know what kind of job people commenting about this cam are usually doing, and how they are setting their camera, but all my job done with the AF allowed me to pay back the camera, to invest in 2 x GH2 body, and to get a set of lens for it. I am not only putting words in the air. Go and check those links. I dont have the feeling my production is turned down by the AF The GH2 is an amazing camera thanks to Vitaly's hack , but not a proper professional tool.
The AF is right for me, even I hoped it could be even better and a bit cheaper. Ex AF owner here. I liked it, especially with a Samurai, but never got to grips with the lens crop. I know, i know, every problem can be overcome but I was an old dog learning new tricks.
I've watched every vid on Vimeo, and now shot with both. I'll be intrigued to see what the eventual 4K output will look like, but right now, those cams look like ordinary TV to me. Yes, because the GH2 has terrible ergonomics for video , no traditional video features XLR connectors, HDSDI, waveform monitor, etc , and is harder to use as a dedicated, professional video camera It's a stills camera that CAN be used for video, with the help of outboard gear.
The downside is that a LOT of people don't want to learn all of those options, or how they work together to produce a picture On the other hand, a hacked GH2 has fewer menu options and scene settings that look nice out of the box, so getting nice images is just easier.
I've also been shooting on Panasonic cameras since the DVX I can completely understand why others may be less inclined to spend that extra time learning the AF, but I just don't believe it's a shortcoming of the camera. That's still 3x the cost of the AF The FS outputs an uncompressed , 8-bit signal in HD, we'll see what happens when and if Sony releases the 4k upgade.
Panasonic screwed up the color on the AF If they couldn't deliver in the AF's price range, they should've priced it higher instead of producing a camera with bad color.
I hand tweak the settings on all the cameras I use. The AF falls behind its predecessors, and indeed even the GH2.
