Settings

Make sure to reset all settings first.

  • 1080p29,97
  • MP4
  • 20Mbit

GH4/GH5 Settings

  • Continuous AF: Off
  • Metering Mode: Center Weighted
  • Mic Level Display: On
  • Mic Level Adjust: -12dB (adjust to one that is more or less ok)
  • Direct Focus Area: On
  • Peaking: On; Detect level: Low, Display Color: Orange
  • Histogram: On
  • Zebra Pattern: Zebra 1 (use Zebra 1 or 2 depending on situation)
    • Set
    • Zebra 1: 70% — target proper exposure for skin tones - usually this is main face exposition target for interview!
    • Zebra 2: 100% — target overexposed/clipping highlights, make sure to check it during any screen recordings, screen must not have overblown parts.
  • Constant Preview: On
  • Exposure Meter: Off
  • Video-Priority Display: On
  • Menu/Motion Picture/Page 1/Photo Style - set to Natural
  • Turn on 3:2 grid
  • Use manual WB (can check WB and colors, including matching between cameras using vectorscope on GH5).
  • Make sure that exposure is manual or locked before recording starts
  • Make sure that AF won't ruin interview after recording starts, fix it, switch to manual
  • Always use peaking and after this use focus assist (zoom) to check focus
  • Do not hurry, unfocused or wrongly exposed video has no use

Audio - Tascam DR-10X recorder

  • 48Khz 24bit, mono
  • Mid level setting (in very loud noise area, like loud music around, can change it to low, but change it back after it; normally we keep it fixed mid)
  • dual level recording - on (very important! check! I won't be able to fix clipped audio without it!)

Always use new batteries at the start of the day!

  • Do not hurry, make sure to turn audio recorder before you starting cameras, and double check that recording started (issues happen due to slightly weird method to turn recording on)
  • Switch it off also as last item
  • Do not hurry, again. Lack of audio can't be fixed!
