@telagraphic, all my tripod plates work perfectly with my G6. Two are for my Manfrotto 700RC and the others are for my Gitzo 1380 fluide head. There must be something in the bottom of the mounting hole or the thread is bad on your G6.

Cheer, Pete

no...i use ss100 with 50p. With 25p i use ss50. Why sharpness 0 ? Because it looks better than other value.

digitalamator you using shutter speed 100 at 25p? and why you set sharpness to 0?

@digitalamator: Thank you, I'll try this out. Can you tell me more about why to use 25p instead of 50p to improve image quality? I thought that 50p at 28Mbps succeeds over 25p at 24Mbps. I might have been trapped here, because 25p with 24Mbps is better in means of Mb/frame because it's only half the framerate than 50p, am I right with that?

@wanderer Thanks!

Will work on color particularly skin tone moving forward. But the G6 is very solid even at the lower bit rate. A hack would be mighty fine...

@manu4vendetta: here is my first brief ISO and color profile test, a more in depth look will follow

Here's my latest short film shot with the G6 and the GH3. The only shot that is not Panasonic is the flowers on the roadside that I took from one of my old shorts called Cross for Sale (shot with a Sony Video Cam).

Most close-ups were with the G6 and the Oly 45mm, with the MCU of the lady with the pretty blue eyes with the G6 and the Oly 45mm. The other two lenses were the 25mm Leica and the 14-42 G6 kit. Problems include pulling focus on the GH3 without peaking and skin tone issues (no vectorscope and flat settings maybe too flat).

The G6 held up well with the GH3. I shot .mov 50 bit rate with the GH3 and the clips are spanned end to end during interviews. This was not a problem. Differs from my old (and excellent) GH1s, of course. The G6 is continuous running single clip, which is nice. Running this setup creates a safety in the event that the GH3 misses something, which probably won't happen. All interviews ran over 30 minutes in length.

All audio was Tascam 60D with lavs (although I always run a Rode shotgun as well).

Please give me feedback. Thanks!

I follow this forum almost evey day. I have a g6 with helios 44 58mm f2. Best aperture for video rec? This is my first dslr I'm a beginner. I've made some shoots and it looks great outdoors . I need to know the best setting for a good image quality. Should I record on M , P or S mode? the lens have an F ring that I set it at 2 to best light but it.s hard to focus. Some help please. I wanna buy a good and cheap zoom lens any through? 14-42mm can be better than my helios 44? thanks and sorry If I write on wrong topic.

Appears the G6 has a firmware update (GF6 too).

1. Improved compatibility of MF operation with H-FS12032 lens.
2. Connection problem with Apple iOS devices via Wi-Fi is fixed.

Here is a video shot with a G6 14-42 kit lens, Oly 45mm 1.8, and a Minolta 50mm 1.4. I think it looks great and the 1080 60p really seems to work well in wedding videos. I wonder if the filmmaker visits the forums here? I bet he used the Minolta on the closing shot. That's one case where I think like hexagonal bokeh shapes better than round.

@manu4vendetta and at the others that are interested in background info concerning "The G6 Project": max ISO was 640 and Picture profile was standard and natural... Contrast -1, sharpness 0, color saturation -1, noise reduction -1 without noise reduction in post. As Joe stated on his facebook timeline.

EDIT: And he must have had iDynamic turned off, which is just a guess.

He honed his skills for three years to get this good, people :-)
