    Thank you for your clips! If someone has other clips for downloading (at 4096 × 2160 and with a very flat profile) or knows where to find them, let me know, I'd like to test also some color grading and converting from 4k to 1080p.

    Here are a couple of DCI 4k files I was using to test some settings and some sd cards performances. Most clips shot at contrasty time of day, around 12 noon, and I was a few feet from neighbor's central heating unit. I apologize for the clips being "trees and leaves" footage.

    CLICK THE THREE DOTS TO THE RIGHT OF THE DELETE TO DOWNLOAD FILE. Let me know if the download method is different for you.

    You are welcome to download this 4k .mov clip which is straight from the camera. You will have to follow the link to the Vimeo site. The password is gh4test.

    Where can I find 4k .mov clips straight from the GH4 for downloading? I do not have a GH4 and I would like to see how my pc and my video editing program handle this files.

  • MaxxenderMaxxender

    Atleast the Shogun GH4 combo delivers what you'd expect. The color resolution is significantly improved, you only notice on original files at 100% though. Prores native capture is a big plus too. Still not $2000 justifiable, I'd pay 600 for a 4k recorder with no screen. Just me?

  • OswaldOswald

    So is it possible to output 1080i on hdmi connector? I need that, because my switcher only supports i resolutions. :(

    Ahhh, the comedy begins!

    @waqarch - what do you mean by 200iso 'is no help to pro work'?

  • waqarchwaqarch

    gh4 is such a shit cinematic device compared to vitalie's GH13. I mean its good on video end but sorry 200iso is no help to pro work.

  • ahblezaahbleza

    Thanks everyone! I'll reduce saturation (will check on scopes), then use -5 NR at 4K.

  • SuperSetSuperSet

    Anyone know if you can take stills while in creative movie mode with a button press?

  • VeskuVesku

    In my eyes GH4 NR is not good. I use -5 because 0 is muddy and weird looking at high iso. 4k NR -5 looks quite good when downsampled to fullhd, much better than plain 1080p.

  • nobbystylusnobbystylus

    Ok- for less noise - don't use iDynamic - at all. Unless in very good light. Also - dial down saturation as the red looks clipped hard. I resolution is fine at low settings - in good light only.

  • ahblezaahbleza

    Typically, I use i.Dynamic Auto, i.Resolution Standard, Photo Style Standard, Rec Format MOV, FHD, 100M, 50p, 40 fps, ISO 3200. I'm attaching a screenshot.

    It sounds obvious but - never underexpose. Always better to raise ISO so that exposure is correct (or between 0 and -2) than underexpose below -3.

  • MckiniseMckinise

    @ahbleza What settings are you using?

  • ahblezaahbleza

    I've been shooting in low light with my GH4, but see a lot of noise. What techniques do people recommend to minimize noise (apart from obvious ones such as lowering shutter speed to 40 fps, fast lens, adding light, etc.) Is it better to shoot 4K then downsample, or shoot at 1080p to reduce noise?

    Drawing hundreds of masks for 8 bit vs 10 bit colour grading? I have not laughed so hard for years. I think it might be time for some sensible comments in this topic.

  • GeoffreyKennerGeoffreyKenner

    Perhaps because it is meant for heavy post-prod that doesn't lie in the quality of the end result but rather on the quantity of time spent on every shot. Both original and shogun footage will give you almost (I insist on almost) no difference in the end if you do a chromakey green-screen, admitting you know how to make a chromakey, not just by picking a color but by knowing how to rotoscope properly, do a garbage matte, and knowing how keyer works. The actual difference you'll see, is on the time you spent to achieve what you wanted. Same goes for grading with 10bit. It doesn't make you footage look suddenly beautiful, it just give you less headache by having to constantly draw hundreds of masks.

  • natureflixsnatureflixs

    Very little difference to my eye between the two.

    @endotoxic

    What is all this mix of things having little sense? What is done?

    Do you understand how encoder work and that things you reference mean?
