No. I use 25/50p.
@LongJohnSilver - were you using one of varibale frame rates? As in this case AF/AE Lock does not work properly. At least on my copy of GH5...
Guys, how to get back to where you stopped using GH5 menu? I can bet there was an option "menu resume" and I can not find it anymore...
@DrDave You can select 23.976 and 29.97 in the 59.94hz mode.
There are 3 system frequencies 24.0, 50, 59.94. Each frequency has different base frame rates.
tx anyway!
Sorry I don't even know how to set 6k.
@LongJohnSilver or Anyone--
In 6K anamorphic mode, can one select 23.976 (23.98) or is one limited to 24.00 fps? Specifically interested in the 6K option.
TIA.
Also, anyone using the Siui anamorhic lenses interested in your opinion. Tx.
@filthy thank you. So now I know it's a bug.
Thanks
@LongJohnSilver - Confirmed. I never use this. But getting the same thing you described once an external monitor is plugged in and powered on.
Come on guys, nobody uses AF Lock?
Hi Guys, Camera in AFS
You press the button once, the camera REFOCUS and then LOCK THE FOCUS (green dot un the upper display corner) I've been using this mode for years since GH2.
Now I have an external monitor: once the ext. monitor is connected, the rear button AF/AE Lock just locks the focus but it doesn't focus anymore.
Am I the only one? COuld someone with an external monitor confirm?
Thank you in advance

I guess they could stuff the S1/S1r/S1h battery into the GH6, I don't really think it's necessary though. I'd rather be able to reuse the five genuine GH batteries I've collected over the years.
Wonder if the GH6 might go for the biggest battery yet? Might not be a bad idea
When I first got the GH5 I tested the battery time with a brand new battery. I got 2 hours with the audio adapter running continuously. Lately the time has gone down. I used to get 3 1/2 hours with the GH4. The GH5 is still very good. For studio shoot I use AC adapter or V-Mount battery with D-Tap.
Yes, I noticed a difference with the GH5 batteries as compared to a G7 & G80. I'm getting less running time out of the bigger GH5 batts - but I put it down to the fact that I like to shoot in 6K mode which I'm sure is zapping the batteries more than normal 4K stuff.
Ok thanks. I didn't expect a so huge difference with my GH4
Cameras with IBIS use more battery. Even with IBIS turned off, the mechanism is still pulling power to hold the sensor in place.
I would expect that cramming 10-bit 4:2:2 4K down into a tiny 150mbps file probably takes quite a bit of processing power, too.
Hi all,
What's your experience with GH5 battery life as compared to GH4? I'm a long time Panasonic users and battery life has always been the best in the market. I found GH2 GH3 and GH4 having more or less tha same battery life. Now my new GH5 lasts half the time of my GH4. I've checked all the menu, except the recording format I'm using (4:2:2 10 bit long gop) all the rest is more or less the same.
Any feedback please?
Thanks
History Channel Documentary Feature shot with GH5
That 3 episode of BTS was fascinating!
A few quick points I got from it:
1) poor soundie... he was working solo
2) their NDs broke right at the start! :-o And their budget was too tight to replace it, so they just bumped up their shutter speed. But this wasn't soooo bad, because so much was shot in slow motion by them.
3) they're going to use the Panasonic S1H for their next film
