This video is a whole vibe. I once owned a Nikon D40, used it for years, and loved it. I just ordered an S5 body, trying to decide what lens to buy first while on a budget.

What's that thing in your nose? Is that to keep the girls away?

First of all. I like your videos. Very nice. Do you think the S5 has better colors than the S5ii. I had the S5ii for a short time and I liked it a lot but I returned it. Thinking about getting it again.

You must don't set the auto focus before you shoot, because i vlog with it almost everday. With No problem! Also use manual focus, you will be amazed.

very nice color grade of you video? Is that chromatic aberration effect you applied on the sides of your video?

Dear Jan Bro. This is Jack Bro. I would humbly ask your opinion. From Bro to Bro. Ive already studied capture one a few months. I havent learnt any editing from anybody at this point. I just move the sliders as long as im happy with the result. Ive learnt to use masks, tweak colors, add grain, change white balance, so on and so on. i got ok results and i got some understanding what these different sliders do. Now my question is, would these presets help me to understand certain kind of settings for different looks? Would these presets allow me to edit furthermore the same presets, with just small tweaks? Respectfully yours Jack Bro P.S. Forgot to mention, nice content, keep on keeping on :)

I really enjoyed your video. Great to hear a different point of view. I have an S5ii but I’m thinking about getting a second camera for permanently mounting the Panasonic 16mm -35mm f4 lens. I’ve heard the focus is better on wide lenses? Any thoughts. Thanks

If you turn on the face detect it works really well

fantastic dear, I is a pleasure to find your channel? what preset did you use in lightroom? Dear I confess to me LUMIX is quite unknown, just few photographers work with it. Let me ask you if you shoot in RAW or in JPEG?, Dear, would you give me an advise? Now I've got a Fujifilm X-H1 and I want to sell it and get another one (in fact I am behind another Fuji series basically for my lenses). My criterion was a lighter camera (mine is heavy, almost 700g body) and one more specialized on stills. But watching your work with this LUMIX I fell in love, full-frame, exquisite image quality and the prices are reasonable (I've just research). Should I jump to LUMIX?

That girl was absolutely cool & very photogenic 👍🤛 Great pictures👏

Awesome video, recently discovered this channel. Subscribed!

Thanks for the video. I do appreciate it. I'm just a photography enthusiast, using a micro four thirds setup. I'm considering getting a used S5. May I ask, in shooting the model, what autofocus setting did you use? Single AF, focus, then recompose?

Hi Jan, do you have any suggestions for someone who became a photographer by mistake? I have a graphic design background and loves working in branding and marketing, but because there has been a lack of people on cases I have often shot the photos and videos as well as done the strategies, which have meant I have now become quite a skilled photographer and got a whole closet full of gear. Now I'm at the point where 70% of the work i get is only for photography or video, but I would like to do more branding and more conceptual design... but people keep hiring me for the things they can see rather than the strategies that is behind it.

Hey Jan, congrats.. It must feel like a dream comes through.. I also checked your website in the meanwhile.. Nice photo's.. Keep up the good work.👍

Well done Jan & congrats 👏👍

I just shot a feature film using the s5, and it became an award-winning film. To me, other than autofocus, this is the best deal out there of any camera on the market. And I actually disagree with you about autofocus, I never use it, all of my lenses are vintage lenses, and so autofocus for me is not part of my workflow. But I understand why some people like it, but for me it's meaningless. So the s5, and the fact that you could get it for $800 pretty much everywhere, is unmatched in terms of a quality hybrid camera for anyone from hobbyists to professionals.

Hi Jan, I do not agree about the auto focus issues of the S5. I have the S5 and paired it with the lumix 16-35mm S-Pro as well with the 70-200 S -Pro and the auto focus is , ok a bit slow but spot on all the time! And if I want to make something special I always use some old vintage glass with the traditional manual focus and focus peaking. Spot on as well!

I followed all your talking and finding a Musa on the train and asking her to come to take photos with her boyfriend is the best thing to do because I always Ask this way - I subscribed to your channel overall for your genuine passion.

Great cameras. I bought an S1R this year and recommend it for landscape studio fashion. Or more. Adapts lenses v well and sensor is great for my needs.

I bought the S5 in November 2022 for about 1800 USD in kit with 20-60mm and 50mm. Only few months before the s5II was launched, so I was pretty mad... but then last November there was an amazing BF deal + Panasonic own cashback, where you could get s5II body for about 1300 USD. Now I use both of them for photography and even for video - s5 as a second cam on events and wedding shoots, usually it sits on a tripod with some wider lens. AF on s5 with lumix 1.8 primes is usable, as you said in the video (tested on 18,50,85). I actually love working with 1.8 S series primes on gimbal, since you don´t have to rebalance after switching between them. I cant wait for a panasonic fullframe body with no crop in 4k50 tho! (Maybe S1H mark II soon, fingers crossed)

I managed to buy one used 600 euros.

great stuff

I just bought it again 😅 But mostly for film use

What a really great video you made. And all those clips to the audio. Wow, they were fast! I totally know what that timeline must have looked like. Wow. You put a LOT of effort into this film. Very good stuff, boss. I'm so happy you posted it.

Good tips, just a heads up! TH-cam takes the timestamp next to the title as when that chapter starts and based on the next start of a chapter it figures out when it ends, meaning that you do not need to add start and end to your chapters, in fact, doing this is confusing youtube and it is making the chapters be all wonky so just add the start time of each chapter not the end.

this was helpful thanks!

Does it have a fan?

images are fire bro 💯

I think the s5 is a great tool

Fully agree. These days story telling is the key for good portraiture and how to differentiate yourself from others... Another great video. Thank you

Ahoj super video, kdybys měl na výběr si vybrat mezi Sony a7III a S5 co bys vybral ? Jsem právě v téhle situaci a nevím. Chtěl bych hybrida tak nějak na všechno.

I really love the aesthetics of the video

Yeah, this was a tough one for me as well. I ended up going with the S9 over the original S5 and honestly I have no regrets. Yes, the S9 has a record limitation versus the 30 minutes on the S5 but I’m not really concerned at that level. The S9 is surprisingly an extremely fun every day carry camera. I also put the Atomos Ninja V on top of the S9 to use as an additional camera angle for Long Takes so it’s like having multiple cameras in one. Honestly this whole S Line Series is great tech.

Oh. And I'm in the US, but in Massachusetts in a very small town. People are a little suspicious, but not nearly like Europe. I'm proud of you going outside of your comfort zone to ask.

So, I went out today and dared to ask some people for portraits. Lots of women, though. And here you are, one-upping me with asking men. I did ask ONE man. But you totally rocked. Very impressive. Great work, Jan!

Hello, but why is there no picture in the clip? You didn't get permission to post them?

Really great. I love hearing your guidance. I've not worked with subjects in this way, so that's really impressive. I'm learning a lot. Thank you!

This is amazing. Thanks so much for this Jan!

As great as the s5ii is, i wish the reviewers that are reviewing new L mount lenses talk about the autofocus on the original s5 and s1h, as theyve still got a sizeable userbase

Hi bro i love dis video 🥰🥰🥰🥰🏆🏆🏆

I'm so glad you did the channel in English, because I'm terrible at most languages. I usually can say just a few words to make you laugh at my attempt. ;) LOVE this post. You just got another subscriber (from the US, no less). :)

Thanks for the info. I’d be nice if you made a video on how you approach the people, what you say/offer, whether you get them to sign anything etc. Well done and good luck 🍀👍🏻

What’s the best video settings for this camera for outdoor shooting?

Superb real world video

starting camera? bro its a super duper camera i have 2 and wont be buying anything else for a long time

Good stuff

It is near to impossible to take a bad picture in Prague, with all the beautiful architecture (and women) 😀

Great job man. You make me miss my 24mm lol.

Fantastic video mate

Great. Proud user of Lumix cameras (ONLY FOR PHOTOGRAPHY- I HATE VIDEO) since 2008! Never looked back. (I am also a 50mm guy. For me, the 50mm is the essense of photography as an art. Period.)
