first size and cost and weight. No one can beat size performance. shape 4:3 perfect for multiaspect.

the shutter 40 for 24p. it was all about cadence and motion blur. To properly emulate certain texture and movement. those topics are already understood and well documented.

But the theory i have is more from the optical/sensor perspective. I said in a previous thread that m4/3 sensors are special for the human eye. You see, the usable human retina is about 21mm diagonal in diameter in a standard adult, The size of the retina is very similar to the m4/3 format sensor which is 22mm diagonal.

For me this is very important, since the lens you use will behave very similar to your eye, if there was a lenses in front of it. there is something about from f2.8 to f3.5 that you can position your self when you use the EVF and connect only one eye to camera and immerse in video mode on your head. The characteristics of this size sensor and the way it behaves on camera is quiet similar on how you see on day to day.

Yes Yes, each focal length at different apertures on different sensors can achieve similar effect. But no the one m4/3 does.

is like the old battle from full frame to smaller sensor, there is some big bokeh to achieve on 5DMKIII or D800 that m4/3 would have to make a trick to achieve but the other way is also doable, but on each part the result always are not only different (they can look similar) but the characteristics are different. The behaviour is the key.

So for me is a special sensor size, maybe i cant explain it very well, but for narrative purpose this format works for me better than super 35mm sensor.

maybe im crazy, but super 16, super 35 look grate full frame excellent, but m4/3 its more real. human retina sensor size and optic characteristics brings an special look and feel not possible withe smaller or bigger sensors.

for me sweet spot.

Graded with Osiris LUTS and all GH4 and some GH3 footage.

Is there a hack tool available or being developed? Thanks,

My cine D settings are 0, -5, -5, -5, 0. Everything else is default.

From now onwards - I'm using 4400k for daylight shooting

I dont know if its just me... but I see a lot of noise and not such great quality especially on the C4K madden video which is weird. All shots are straight from the camera.. no color grading.. I know the editing and shots arent so great... but i just wanted to upload these to get your opinion... I purchased my gh4 off ebay through what seems to be a camera shop's account and they were running a promotion on the GH4 for $1,399.99 and I am using a Panasonic Lumix G Vario 14-42mm f/3.5 - 5.6 lens. Please let me know what you think... is it fine and im just overreacting? should I try to return the camera to get a new one?

MADDEN (C4K, 24p):

Thanks!

Anyone experiencing the same problem? Might be a faulty sensor from Panasonic? I am primarily shooting on Cine-D profile, no additional adjustments, but the problem is on Standard profile as well.

My iDynamic and iResolution is OFF.

I am really frustrated, I was expecting a better video that this noisy ants from GH4, anyone please help?

[GH4 + Shogun + Voightlander Nokton 25mm]

I love the panning and cropping capability that 4K gives me when publishing in 1080p. The slow zooms at the start and end were done in post and the most closeup shot at 0:43 was just a straight crop to 1080.

All in all, I was the "Jack of All Trades" for the film, and due to the fact that I'm an avid procrastinator, it was a very tedious process. By far any attention or advice I've gotten has been from the personal-view forums, so of course this film was shot entirely with the GH2, aside from about 2 scenes, and I wanted to update the people who I spoke with consistently on the site about the project. The project is now finished and we released it on IndieReign.com alongside a brand new trailer for the film! Though I'm terrible at taking constructive criticism (all filmmakers are), I wanted to share the trailer with everyone on the personal-view site regardless, I mean after all we all don't just get crew and actors together just to film a personal home movie to lock in a vault!

I'm currently back to writing a new project but I plan on putting together a few youtube tutorial videos focusing mainly on how I scored the film, went about color grading the film itself, and how I went about with the pre-production of the film (casting calls, paperwork, shot lists, scheduling). I hope you guys enjoy the trailer for the film and thank you for the ones who read all of this before actually watching the trailer!

Other functions are all OK!

I toke a picture of the EVF and you can see the attached file.

Anyone had ever seen the problem?

I bought this GH4 from Amazon.co.jp and I'm from China, So I can't send to Panasonic China for free.

One week with SLR Magic Anamorphot 2x on Voigtlander Ultron 28mm f1.9 on Canon FD 50mm f1.4 + Metabones Speed Booster on Canon FD 35mm f2 As you can see the Canon FD work better than the Voigtlander All the close up were taken without diopter except when it's written GH4 UHD 4:3 Cinelike V 0 -5 -5 -2 +2 Lumetri CC and levels adjustments Everything was shot @f4 / f5.6 except some close shot @1.9 in the first part SLR Magic achromatic diopters +0.33, +1.3, +1.8 and Narumi achromatic +3 diopter

Also I'd love some input from others on colours and noise ... This was shot using a cinelike D mode with everything set to 0 and edited in Prem Pro 2014 , If memory serves I was on 800 ASA which is high but I expected better results for the noise ... The "black" bars are not the same black as the black surrounding them on my monitor... I output the clip using the factory preset for Vimeo which presumably is RGB as opposed to 709, so surely the black bars should match the black on my screen?? (the bars are a shade lighter)

Aside from the focus issue I'd be very grateful for comments / advice / guidance on noise especially in the blacks which are always a bit crappy ..

Thanks

Alan

Very impressive how light and sturdy this cage is. Only used a few times.

Here is a nice review by newshooter Clinton Harn: http://www.newsshooter.com/2014/08/19/video-review-viewfactor-contineo-cage-for-panasonic-gh4-by-clinton-harn/

I would suggest that users of the GH4 secure the rubber eyecup to the body using a few narrow strips of two-sided tape - (the gummy kind) or something like a bit of silicone adhesive.

It takes very little force to remove this thing. For instance taking the camera in and out of a back, pocket or pack.

The replacement part is costly (over $30.00 USD and will take time out of your shooting.

I used a few strips of 4mm wide, two-sided tape, because I also wanted to lock the diopter dial in place.

I'm not attaching a picture, because the camera can't take a picture of itself:)

I hope this helps any of you.

Over and out.

Comes with lens adapter rings (52, 58,62mm), 0.33 and 1.33 Diopter lenses and original packaging.

Note: This is the normal version there are few tiny dust particles inside the lens. SLR MAgic offers a version that is 100% garanteed dust-free but for a higher price. I owned their really expensive 50mm T0.95 once and it came with a big speck of dust right in the middle of the back lens element! Yet, not visible on camera.

Since it really does not affect image quality visibly, I chose this version. Price 775,- incl. VAT. If you have a company I can write a invoice with separate VAT.

Location: Bremen, Germany.
