Peaking is a tad subtle it seems but will be a help for sure.
Cam arrived yesterday! Have turned it on a and played around with flat profiles and it looks like the highlight shadows with cinelike d are going to be a huge help. Impressed with the LVF and LCD. Sadly I've got a wisdom tooth extraction this morning so it might be that my first shoot will be a 4k selfie of my face looking like the elephant man!
Found this on Vimeo. Reddish Egret digiscoped with Panasonic GH4 96fps on Swarovski STX85 scope, manual focus. This looks better than what I thought 96fps would look based on others comments.
GX7: this is a crop from the same image taken on a Panasonic GX7. Again, the image was cropped and saved using snapseed. The image was taken using similar settings (the camera chose ISO250 to give me the same shutter speed and aperture - however it was a different lens). On the iPad, it seems like the GX7 has less colour noise in the image? This is really more about the difference between the camera display and the final image - but I thought it would interesting to compare to the GX7 as well.
GH4: This is crop taken from the full image (too big to post the full image). The image was cropped and saved in snapseed the original was saved in camera as JPEG, Large, Fine. The obvious mottling is vastly reduced - however it is still there, and it looks like chrominance noise? For reference, the image was taken at ISO250 on a tripod using a delayed shutter.
The attached image is of the rear display, taken with an iPhone. The green splodge towards the right edge is much less visible in the viewfinder.
Note: the area showing the green and orange mottling is actually a cream painted wall. The left edge is the corner of a white Draytek router. The image was taken under electric (led) light. I will try to upload the full image for comparison.
has the possibility of the gh4 shooting raw been discussed already? if so i'm sorry.
@AdamT I'm not sure what the cause is. The same image on the GX7 is noticeably better (lower contrast though). It reminds me of the image you might see on older Plasma screens where you might see noticeable steps in the graduations, suggesting a limited bit depth. In a couple of test images it was much easier to see in the shadow areas. However, the banding is barely visible (probably a result of the JPEG compression) in the images on the iPad. I suspect it's a feature of the OLED technology.
Note: banding is perhaps not the best description, It looks more like limited graduations between colours in some areas.
I received my camera from Wex today. Love it! However, I quickly noticed a flaw. The OLED display shows considerable banding when reviewing certain pictures. It was particularly evident in pictures taken of a desk lamp against dark wall. Changing the display luminance to '2' (dimmer) seems to mitigate the problem somewhat. The LCD display is much better on the GX7 in this regard. I wonder if the OLED screen will improve with use (like plasma screens)?
@nobbystylus Cambridge. You got yours yet?
@DrDave Please explain "digital rain".

@roe1and - mine's probably on the same van! You in London?
I talked to my dealer Scandinavian Photo here in Sweden today, they will get a shipment tomorrow to their central warehouse in Gothenburg. I placed my preorder on februari 11 so I hope mine will be in the first batch. In the Stocholm store I am # 3 to get a camera. Crossning my fingers for monday or tuseday.
