you all probably dont give a shit but does any of you know a trick to get back into an instagram account? I somehow forgot my account password. I would love any tricks you can offer me!
Here is something I found useful when filming slomo at 120 fps on the GH5. I have programmed slomo on C3 (top dial.) I first put the setting to ordinary video and when the subject is in focus, I quickly turn the dial to slow motion (C3). I have found that this works best for me. This camera is capable of doing 180 fps but the quality suffers. Your videos are simply the best and I appreciate all the info you so willingly provide. Joan
Brilliant video Mike and so many things you said at the beginning about wildlife looking good in slow motion are so true. Had a play with slow motion myself in a few videos recently and the only downside I find is the amount of memory card it takes up. It really worth doing though. You have some stunning footage there. Cheers Keith
Spectacular videos. What tips do you have for an animal that can be seen only for a few seconds or a minute and then it disappears into the woods? Like, a tiger coming out in the Indian forests that are very dense.
Awesome Mike, like yourself only into video in the last year. I don't use slow motion enough! Inspired by your video I will certainly use it more now thanks for sharing.👍😍
Hi Mike, Isn't 120 fps normally an NTSC frame rate played back at 30fps which replays at 4 times slower, in PAL the equivalent would be 100fps played back at 25fps to achieve 4 times slower. Does working in NTSC cause you any issues when editing. Thanks for Lovely video.
It has not caused me any issues. I am new to video and there is much I do not understand. Frame rates still confuse me although I have watched many YT videos that explain it.
Gorgeous clips! Thanks for showing. I also use a Panasonic G9 for filming, but I would recommend not using the "high speed video" option but "variable frame rate".
A really good video, superb Crested Tit footage. I have the G9 and have captured a bit of footage of the deer rut, but I’ll have a go with the SLO-mo now. Do you tend to use a smaller aperture to give a bigger DoF for perched birds, so there’s less need to change focus? Thanks.
Super video. Slow-motion looks wonderful. What do you do with the finished video clips? Do you send any to video stock agencies? Thanks for the beautiful and informative videos you are putting out.
@@MikeLaneFRPS Thanks. I've sold a few clips through Pond5. Wondering whether to sell my DSLRs and invest more in M43. Bit worried that Olympus seem to be selling up!?
Another lovely and informative video with some super little clips. I go out with best intentions of shooting video but still get side tracked and lured into over concentrating on the stills. Mike, when you use the Olympus can you adjust the focus once you’re shooting? When I’ve tried it seems to grab focus with the AF prior to pressing the video shooting button but once I’m recording it seems to have the focus locked - or maybe I’ve just set it up incorrectly 😀 anyway once again excellent and enjoyable video.
Hi David, When shooting video I often go to manual focus and yes you can change focus as you shoot. If I am using AF then it is in continuous follow focus mode and will change focus while shooting video.
Hi Mike. Loving all of your videos and hope you can answer this specific question which relates to this video. When you are shooting in slow motion you obviously cannot use the CAF focusing. How do you overcome the problem of something that is approaching you when shooting this way. I was shooting a fox today and quite often I had to stop the video and refocus and then start again. Is that the only option open to me or are there any tricks that you could teach me
In slow motion you have to manually focus as the fox moves towards you. I have peaking set to on so the sharp part of the image changes colour. That helps. I do not have magnify on as that confuses me. An external monitor would help as you get a bigger screen, but mine does not work in slow motion on the Olympus, but it does work on my Lumix G9. Manual focus is difficult on a small screen and I struggle with anything coming towards me.
You mentioned autofocus doesn't work on the Panasonic at 180fps. On the Olympus MX1 is manual focus also required when shooting at 120fps? What is the highest fps rate on the Olympus that maintains autofocus?
Mike, can I ask what picture profile you prefer. I am getting confused with my Panasonic S5 with v log or cine d as well as turning down sharpness and contrast in camera. Too much TH-cam! Regards Andy
I had to check. I have left it on Standard and not changed any parameters. I know nothing of Vlog and also watch a lot of TH-cam trying to understand video settings, but mostly I am lost.
@@MikeLaneFRPS I sympathise Mike. I am a stills photographer, videography seems to be full of BS in many ways. The cinematic look, 24 FPS, log footage. Like you I am wading through all of this, what I actually want is a sharp colourful quality image, without fuss. I will tell you if I ever achieve that!
Very good footage
That is so so good
This is one of the best wildlife photography channels I have found. So relatable for any UK photographer. Useful info and slick! Great stuff Mike!

great stuff. As a birder I can really appreciate your great work
I'm so glad that I found your channel Mike! Stunning footage and very interesting tips, thank you for sharing!
Wonderful work. Stay safe and well.

Great video yes so true you miss so much in normal speed been doing slow motion for a while.
What a great start to my day. Thanks Mike!
Beautiful video!
Awesome video 👍
Brilliant video, great channel, many thanks for sharing.
Beautiful.... Thank you for your great Videos ... Greetings from Germany
Inspirational Mike great shots.
Wonderful Mike!! thanks a lot !!
That's amazing and inspirational. I have try it around my birds feeder and next summer with bee-eaters. They are as beautiful as the kingfisher.
Wow, outstanding, Mike!
Great stuff, Mike. You have given me some ideas. 💯💡
Deep pockets,which we don't all have...nice quality though
Some gorgeous footage. I might have to look into doing some video.
Awesome video, Mike
Fantastic video Mike I have a G9 this has inspired me to have a go at video
Awesome Mike, like yourself only into video in the last year. I don't use slow motion enough! Inspired by your video I will certainly use it more now thanks for sharing.👍😍
I've got to try this!!! Wonderful footage and helpful info. Thank you!
Well done, man!
I am just waiting for delivery of my body capable fo slow motion these days, can't await it ...

Very nice clips in my opinion. Are the flying birds shot handheld or do you use some special tripod head?
A normal video tripod head.
You should try downloading Google lens and that will identify your Birds
Hi Mike, again a fantastic video. Which lenses are you mainly using ?
The Olympus 300mm and Leica/Panosonic 100-400mm
@@MikeLaneFRPS .....thanks for the quick answer !! Then my Sony 200-600 mm with the A7RIII should also work.

Surprised you did not film a woodpecker in slow mo
Super video. Slow-motion looks wonderful. What do you do with the finished video clips? Do you send any to video stock agencies? Thanks for the beautiful and informative videos you are putting out.
I did at first, but sold so few it was not worth it. Much harder to upload video than stills pictures to agencies.

Yes, the 120fps from Olympus requires manual focus too! 60fps is the highest with autofocus.
