    Are colour profile changes possible? ...e.g. like Technicolor?

  • digitalamatordigitalamator

    maybe someone know some best presets to video in g6 ?

  • mjfanmjfan

    can someone with a G6 please record some people in 24fps?

  • woolhatswoolhats

    Dont know if this can help you but you can see the size of screen

  • belfrymanbelfryman

    @CFreak I'm trying to get round it by connecting a tablet with hdmi out to a large monitor, they say in theory it should work, but I think they didn't answer the question I was asking about size of image relayed over wifi in the first place. If the image the tablet was receiving was decent size then viewing it on a larger monitor might make it work for me - I find it hard to judge critical focus without a decent monitor, though the peaking info is useful it doesn't seem to get relayed over wifi with rest of the image. Will put this in reasons for an update.

  • woolhatswoolhats

    well..It is delay..(not so much) but if you are gonna do focus or other critical adjustments..look at the lcd screen on the camera instead..it´s ok to use..say you wanna take a Picture of you and your friends (or a video) you can hold your smartphone or ipad and stand in front of the camera..but as a replacement for a hdmi monitor..no!!

  • CFreakCFreak

    @woolhats "not like a real monitor" Can you elaborate? Due to latency (aka: image delay?) or something else?

  • woolhatswoolhats

    No live view via hdmi...only playback..you can get live view via wifi..but is not like a real monitor...you can rec and even control the zoom if you have the powerzoom lens via wifi..but as I said it´s not like viewing thru a hdmi monitor

  • yiannis_zachyiannis_zach

    as I am unexperienced with video, after these some reviews, do you think is a good choice over the GH2? (I did read all posts but) I can't make a decision... Previously an other member asked (@mjfan): does it have "live view" similar functions for external monitor connectivity while recording?

  • belfrymanbelfryman

    Answering my own question, if anyone is interested, Panasonic say the image is transmitted over wifi at the size the camera is set to.

    @Vitaliy_Kiselev Sure!

    Problem with Peaking: When I activite the peaking function it deactivites when I change sharpness in portrait mode. I have to go back in the meny to activite the peakfunction..only my camera or any one else ? firmware upgrade? If you try to shoot flat-5-5-5-5 you barely see the peaking..at least on Fd lenses

  • andy_leeandy_lee

    try using avchd 24p , i always use that setting - is there any reason why you are shooting avchd 50p if you are not intending it to be slowed down in half speed slo mo ? and try Natural as a stock setting without dialing -5,0,0,-5 I always avoid mpeg as I dont like its codec

    @oscillian

    Please do not make parallel talks due to crossposting. Use one place.

  • belfrymanbelfryman

    Anyone know image resolution sent over wifi? I'm loving the remote function but thinking of getting a tablet with hdmi out so I could, hopefully, relay the image to watch live on a larger screen than the tablet.

  • oscillianoscillian

    @andy_lee Settings are described in video:

    AVCHD 50p ISO 160 Shutter 1/50 Photo Style: Natural: -5,0,0,-5 First clip: Olympus 45mm f1.8 @f1.8 Second clip: Lumix 14-140mm, 14mm@ f4

    MPEG 50p export straight from Premiere

    Oh, WB: Cloudy

  • andy_leeandy_lee

    oscillian

    what settings are you using? avchd ? or mpeg? what shutter speed? what aperture? what iso ? what color profile? what kelvin color temperature? what lenses ?

    with all this info then someone may be able to help you

  • oscillianoscillian

    I'm having big problems with my G6: all lenses have a "Unsharp mask"-ish dark halo to the left (?) of bright objects. Any one else with these issues?

    Take the olympus, and if you can, buy the body only. The Kit Lens is not bad but nothing so good.
