@Tron...there's hundreds of solutions if one wants to post sync the audio

@kurth You could always throw one of these on the hot shoe http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/966010-REG/shure_vp83f_condenser_shotgun_mic.html

yeah...I like that idea...shorts shot originally in b&w....I missed pany's dynamic b&w photo style on the g6 ( it's in their creative mode option which isn't controllable ! ) . Nothing better to abstract reality and you don't need to worry about grading. Vegas has got some good options but shooting and monitoring b&w 4k, like this camera offers, is enticing. Just wish it had that friggin' mic input. What were they thinkin'/smokin' ?

@kurth

Need to ask Panasonic to sponsor Personal View video contest for B&W short films.

Good idea :-)

@Vitaliy ...life's a metaphor

@kurth

You mean that we will see now stream of B&W videos of cats and backyards? Same as it was with LOG?

kurth

right ...but it's a new "photo style" mode ..meaning you can use it in manual exp video . quoting dpreview ....

The L Monochrome Photo Style promises 'deep black and rich gradation like that of B/W film.

Im wond'r'n if dose b%w's are the new monochrome photo mode ?

It is just new processing option, among many others.

very interesting. Any audio workaround ideas for a solo no-rig shooter?. This coupled with a videomicro would have been great I think..

@jai2yeux OK, I thought it would be next to the hdmi port but that does not appear to be the case.

After I have buyed the body of the GX8 in U$1,300, and now seeing this, if dont now if I was cheated.

@Tron Except every review mentions the lack of mic input.

@kurth The official specs say otherwise -

External Microphone Input: 2.5mm for external microphone, Stereo/Monaural is selectable when attaching DMW-MS1 (optional)

kurth

imaging resource is saying no mic input

@adamquesada

Read above posts :-)

GH5 w/ V-LOG, 4:3, anamorphic lens, 5 axis IS, weather sealed, 4K 60p? OMG...that would be fantastical!

brudney

Good question. It wouldn't make sense at all if they didn't.

adamquesada

@brudney I guess the next question is if they enabled it during video with legacy lenses.

Questions for people in the know: * Have they incorporated AutoISO in full manual mode (Creative Video)? * If in Aperture priority mode, is the shutter angle still allowing 360 degrees * Do the onscreen exposure controls disappear when changing ISO * Is there a upper ISO limit for video * What is the additional crop for 4k mode?

Looking good for the GH5!

brudney

seems like it's 5axis. and yes, it works in video :]

Howdy, Stranger!
