OHHHHHH ZEBRAS IS CORRECT?! Ahhhh I’m such an idiot man I was fussing over the camera all day trying to get them to disappear cause I thought it meant blown out. Anyway, thank you so much for this video!
Thanks! Great video. Really super educational. To be clear: if I film in V-Log, should I overexpose by 1 or 2 stops from the exact 18% gray exposure? So, I find the correct exposure with the gray card and then add a stop or two?
Just picked up an 18% Gray baseball cap at the Eastman museum in Rochester NY to be able to practice your techniques on our next trip. I guess a viewable film outweighs my area code. Thanks for the super info to help me get up to GH6 speed here in Rapid.
As usual, very well presented! Nailing exposure is what makes the difference! and these tools are a great help and great to know about! Thanks for another great video!
I am a total noob at this, picked up a GH6 to record some car/truck videos and take pics. It's so much deeper than I thought lol. Started with a Mavic air 2s drone now I want to get those sharp and close up shots. Wish me luck lol
Excelente video. La maravilla es que Panasonic ha hecho los menus tan bien que puedes encontrar las mismas funciones en los mismos lugares en distintas cámaras. Tengo una GH5 (la amo) y una G9II y las explicaciones se aplican perfecto a las dos cámaras.
Great stuff Caleb! Does you/ anybody else have any further advice on like.......ok.....once we have VLOG grey card set to 42%......do we still need to be overly concerned with skin tones/ underexposure/ over exposure? Or does the VLOG 42% pretty much cover it? or is there a 'stop' number (eg.4.5?) that correlates to being overexposed? cheers! ro :-)
Celeb, Is the spot meter we were using here different then the spot meter mode in my exposer meter. The icon looks the same but I'm not sure? I've watched this video before but now after a while I'm starting to get. Sometimes you have to watch a video and come back to it after a while and then it clicks. Very cool too.
Hello, I have a question. Some bloggers mentioned a defect of this camera, that is, in low light environment and high light ratio, when shooting in vlog mode, green bars will appear in the picture. It seems that this problem is quite common, and Panasonic has not been able to completely solve this problem after upgrading the camera firmware. Some people say it is a CMOS problem. I don’t know how serious this problem is in practice. To be honest, I like this camera very much, but this problem involves the purity of the picture, which I am more concerned about. Have you done this test? Have you been troubled by this problem during use? I hope to hear the real voice, thank you very much!
Which method should we choose to set the correct exposure if we are in a dynamic environment where we have to react quickly to events and there is no time for precise settings?
Hey there Caleb, thanks for all the information! After I got my GH6 i used on a Thailand vac and shot a lot with the luminance spot meter. I always tried to expose for a 0.0 for the faces of my subjects... But I'm not satisfied with the results, mostly the background (sunny island stuff) is unsurprisingly overexposed and even though I shot in 10b-422 there wasn't enough breathing room to get to a nice picture in post (at least with my lackluster Davinci skills). ... My question is: I get exposing for neutral Grey, but in a reallife situation, exposing for human subjects in front of bright backgrounds, what should I go for, to get an overall nicely exposed result which leaves me the best options in post? Thanks in advance, have a nice day! Dave
Thanks Caleb! I'm getting used to using this and I get confused when aiming for 42% (vlog) or 40% (flat or natural ) and using the zebras with the new luminance spot tool. The image looks too dark and the histogram and waveform readings are way low too. I end up eye balling it and the reading is 70% instead? I am using too many things at once?
@McSnapples Thanks! Yes so you're right, practice, practice practice. They give us so many exposure tools with these cameras, its a matter of finding our own workflow we can trust.
Socool. I shot continuous 5.7 k 30 prores on Angelbird 4Tb CF Express until i updated to 2.0 FW . Panisonic answer to my issue is FW 2.0 did not address card capacity. Thank s to being able to record to the ATOMOS NINJA W NO CARD IN CAMERA although i took a big loss on selling all my v90 cards and my small cf that came w The gh6 i now have a high capacity option w a lot of added weight of course. Angelbird was a great help with great products. Would love to try the 2tb version when im able to drop that jack. Does shooting in vlog,dynamic range boost w nd filter and external monitor or recorder effect the auto focus that requires certain settings?. Thanks
Caleb, are you still having noise issues with the Dynamic Range Boost? You and I were both having trouble with it back when the camera was released, so I haven't been using it. Was there a firmware update that fixed it?
I'm also having the same issue. I'd love to hear an answer to this. I've stopped using dynamic range boost because the gains aren't worth the noise IMHO. That said maybe I'm doing something wrong.
Hi, I understand you are well intentioned. Your microphone and your voice are a bad combination as you use it. There are lots of free Audio Loudness Meters and learn to eq your voice. I also notice that you suck at shadows lol. Simply add more lights on camera. Ring, controllable main light. Respect the 3 or 4-point lighting principles at all times. In or outdoors. In the last case increasing ISO. Hope this helps. Good luck
OHHHHHH ZEBRAS IS CORRECT?! Ahhhh I’m such an idiot man I was fussing over the camera all day trying to get them to disappear cause I thought it meant blown out. Anyway, thank you so much for this video!
Can you please make an video about how to sett the exposure/film settings when filming nighttime/dark surroundings?
Thanks! Great video. Really super educational. To be clear: if I film in V-Log, should I overexpose by 1 or 2 stops from the exact 18% gray exposure? So, I find the correct exposure with the gray card and then add a stop or two?
Very helpful Caleb. Thank you. Glad you are diving into the GH6, we all get to benefit!
Great video! My favorite profile on my GH5 II is the natural one.

amazing , quick question , regarding the native iso for cinelike d2 is 800 ? also pretty ok with 2000?

There is very helpful and interesting video! Thanks!
Which zebra settings i should use for my gh5 in natural and other log profiles? I only can set zebras from 50-100 %
shot a whole vaccation video with wonky exposures, wish I had seen your video first!
Thank you , your knowledge is greatly appreciated!

Seems to me that "middle grey" in a natural color profile should be at the middle reading, or 50%. Why 40%?
What stand do you use to hold your grey card?
Which method should we choose to set the correct exposure if we are in a dynamic environment where we have to react quickly to events and there is no time for precise settings?

As you mentioned about the lumix GH6 camera, you can tell about the Sigma FP camera..

Hi, Can you tell me what SD card you use for 5.7K 10bits ? Thank you
Only CFexpress Type B can do this recording. u gonna need a 500mb/s writing card minimal
PS: GH6 can only handle max 512GB card.
Has anyone had any problems with their GH6 screen hinge becoming wobbly/loose. Mine has gotten significantly loose over the course of the year.
What is IRE? Vlog 42%?
What is the advantages of being a GH6 shooter compared to Sony A7S III?
Man i had a shoot and exposed to the grey card and everything came out underexposed
I had the right settings but no autofocus.
This camera is s a real sleeper. Our studio now has three!
Why does the histogram go white
Streaking issue?.hellow
Please forgive my ignorance - but I don't know what IRE is?
Sell me on the small rig. How can it help me.
