How I Set Up A New Camera // Some Panasonic GX80/GX85 Hacks
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 พ.ค. 2018
- I got a new camera! The Panasonic GX80 (aka GX85 in some areas). So I made a video on all the essential things I do when I get a new camera.
I've also done some "hacks" to make the camera record at 60p, and added the Cinelike D setting for video to extend the dynamic range a tad.
So this is how I set up a new camera. Including all the silly bits. Because new camera day really is the best day.
Proper review and possibly some comparisons coming soon! Let me know in the comments if you'd like a GX80 vs G7 review!

Hey Nerds! New camera day really is the best day. What do you do as soon as you get a new camera?
Ben Rei 😂
Micro Four Nerds Just love on it a second lol then set it up the way I want to use it to fit into my system. Then for like the next 30 I use it everyday.
I skip all those steps at first and go straight for the iG photo
I have only one extra battery but I rarely use it because of the usb charging feature my main battery is always full.
Yohane Rockett I sold it unfortunately. I miss it all the time! But I needed something small that was good for video as well as photo, and the gx80 fit the bill 😊
My Nerdy GX-80/85 tips: (1) RAW shooters - set RAW + superfine JPEG if you use the LCD screen to check sharpness in the field. RAW-only gives you a low res preview and everything looks unsharp on the LCD when zoomed in (2) Configure your Q-Menu - it really speeds up finding settings that you use often but not often enough to set on a function button (3) Don't forget there are extra function buttons, Fn5 - Fn9, available on the touchscreen (4) Back button focus is on the Custom menu, screen 1, set the AF/AE Lock and Shutter AF parameters to give back button AF. Hope you enjoy the GX-80 as much as I have. It's seen off my Canon gear for 95% of my photography.
Ian Parr wonderful tips!!
fantastic tip about the low res preview in Raw-only, was not aware of this, I may just shoot RAW + superfine JPEG more often just for the high res zooming! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!
Super important tip about low res preview on RAW. I use this all the time so this tip means A LOT to me. many thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)
Is there any chance to play with a shutter speed in a C mode?
I just got this camera a couple of weeks ago. It's very impressive. Thanks for going through your setup.
Cant forget these tips. Thanks. I always read the manuals/instructions first.
Thanks for the tips. I'll try some of your suggestions. I've had the gx85 for about 5 months now. Took it on safari in S. Africa in April. Incredible photos, all hand-held . I'm not a video shooter, but I've got great video of two lions devouring their freshly-killed impala at night. Amazing - the only light was a hand held spotlight. Love this camera.
Sweet.. I have been using my Gx80 for nearly 1 year and I JUST found out that I can change ISO to under 200 thanks to this video!
Same here lol
Just got a second hand GX850.
This is useful stuff since I never had a Lumix before.
Great tips!
Thank you!
I had toyed with the idea of getting involved in photography as a hobby, and I can report i just bought this camera as my very first camera thanks to you. Absolutely love your content. Cheers.
+Rob Wallace thank you! That's amazing. Hope you love the camera :D
Very helpful (and fun) video... thank you so much. Btw, diagonal cutters make quick work of jingle jangle removal.
OMG! the 30p/60P is brilliant! - now it shoots the same speed as my DJI Spark! - thank you
Jingle jangles. I didn't know what that was, but figured it out. I really like this camera...Great job!
neat! i just picked up this camera and it arrived today. it compliments my g85 and my olympus cameras. i think my custom settings are very similar to yours!
Loved the video and camera looks great, it is on my radar now thanks!
Thanks for the hack and links to those other vids. I’ve had my GX80 for 3 days and it’s gone wonky and has to go back to PCWorld for replacement, which is super annoying. The eye sensor keeps activating even when I’m not looking through the eye piece, switching the rear screen off. I also can’t remap the FN4 button, so that’s faulty, too. Love the camera, though, and looking at getting a fast prime for street shooting. Used to have an Oly EP3 paired with a Panasonic 20mm 1.7 ver2 and the touchscreen focus + shutter paired with the sharpness of that lens made for a fantastic combo. That lens is sharper than a samurai’s toothpick and very affordable. Just a tad slow to focus when compared to other Olympus and Panasonic M43 lenses, but makes you think ahead. Thanks again for the very helpful hints and tips.
You can also set bracketing very fast by pushing the rear wheel (exposure in my case) and then use the up/down arrows. That way yo save a custom button for anything else.
I set my camera up similarly however I always set my iso and other exposure steps to full stops. It's much faster in use and with raw format that little inaccuracy isn't a problem at all.
Thanks for the good go around with GX80/85.
I like many would be interested in IQ and handling comparisons GX80 / Oly E-PL8/9 / G7.
Another interest is using the same lens on both Pana & Oly camers to see a comparison of how Oly camers handle the Pana lens and the other way around. Perhaps you lens choice could be your walk around lens most commonly used both still pics and video. Would be nice to include some primes.
Thanks again for all your efforts, much appreciated.
I just sold all my Nikon cameras, lenses & strobes (weighed 25+ lbs!) and bought the G85 with 12-60 kit lens plus 100-300mm lens. It's a quarter of the weight. Woohoo! Only had it a couple of days so still working my way through the different menus. I took a couple of pictures at the park of the geese and their chicks. Looking good so far. I used to have a major problem holding my Nikon 70-200 f/2.8 steady even with VR (vibration reduction). Love the 5 axis....tack sharp every time.
John McFarland the weight difference is huge isn't it?! Welcome to the m43 family! 📸🎉
Hi John. I got rid of my Canon gear because it was getting far too heavy for my frail bones (Old fart) I too bought the Lumix G80 (UK), Its lighter, more responsive that my Canon gear and the pictures I'm getting are amazing even with the 12-32 kit lens. I've also bought the GX9 hand grip for it. Expensive for what it is but it does make the GX80 easier to hold with my larger mitts. Sorry for rambling on, I just wanted to say Hi and too agree with all of your comments.
Thanks, Emily, this is helpful info as I’m not as familiar with Panasonic cameras as I am with Olympus so now I know a few things to attack when I open the box on arrival THIS AFTERNOON! I agree that the jangle of neck strap loops is annoying, but usually attach a wrist strap to one right away. Ordered extra batteries right away. They arrive tomorrow. Looking forward to getting to know my “new,” used Panasonic GX85!
Ooh exciting!! Enjoy your new (new to you!) camera! 📷📷
Great video. I love new camera day. I love both of my GX85s for years now but my most recent NEW cameras I got at a Pawn shop recently. Got what appears to be a brand new never been used G7 which is awesome. My other G7 works but has a minor issue with the SD card slot. I also got a Canon G7x which is an awesome little camera for street to go along with my ZS60 and Canon SD1200IS, I had been looking for an LX10 but for what I paid, the G7X is a perfect sub.
Excellent video, thanks for sharing.
Great video, Thanks for the upload!
thank you very mush. i have use it with my nikon flash and its work. i have sb600 and a yn685
My first two steps on any camera are the same as yours: beep and AF assist lamp both off. I find I need some time with the camera to best map Function Buttons and fill the custom preset slots.
Traded in my Nikon full frame on a GX85 3 weeks ago (partially, not solely, on your enthusiasm for the format) and haven't regretted it for a moment.
Mine is set up in a similar way, but my custom sets are less for video and more for action photos. Might have to give your setup a try, though, as I'm shooting more and more video since I ditched the Nikon.
I did keep the post focus mode button. Makes focus stacking a breeze.
Nathan Davis so cool, so glad you're enjoying it so far 😁🎉📸
The GX80 does like batteries, so I carry 2 or 3 ExPro brand spares with me always! Always off with the AF light and beep too. Jpeg fine in 3:2 for me, and custom mode set for mono, another for silent shooting. Enjoy your GX80, it's a great little camera (although I'd get a GX9 if I were buying these days)
You bought a little beast! ;)
1 year ago I bought this camera and I'm being using for some professional use, mainly to wedding films, highlights and video clips. Here in Portugal I bought with a 12-32mm for 650€.
Her small body with sensor stabilization, 1080p60fps, and 4k for 650€ made in my opinion the best cost-benefit mirrorless camera for video .Things what I think this camera needs to be perfect maybe you will feel: flip screen, mic input, 120fps in 1080p and few accessories (I made my own battery grip). ;)
Maybe one day I will have a new camera day with one GH5, I hope! xD
Nice vid.
Sub!
Cya ;)
Thank you M4Nerds! for alerting me to the Zebra Pattern, never seen that on a camera before, jolly useful. Something else ... chuck the lens cap, then fit a step-up ring to the 12-32 lens for a bit of added protection, acts a bit like a hood, takes a 46mm filter too.
Ahh, I brought a lumix dmc cm1, a step up ring to mount a lens I brought to screw onto the cameraphone & luckily the 12-32mm lens uses the same thread so I sometimes mix & match & use the step up ring as extra protection, or the lens as a screw on fish eye or flip it round for zoom, quick flip lens is what I brought for the cm1 but works even better on my gx80.
I have tested lots of configurations when traveling and I have found that the more useful if you are shooting lots of video and jpegs is set one of the custom buttons with the highlight/shadow function, so you have control over them almost as quick as you control exposure. I have installed the cine d profile and stored it in one C just in case but I think that is horrible what it does with skin tones and I found it very difficult to grade. I shoot natural instead.
Ordered the GX80 with the kit lens for about 340 quid as my first proper camera, can't wait for it to arrive! Won't have the slightest clue how to use it, but that challenge is part of the fun to overcome haha
Anton Renfors absolutely haha great choice for a first camera hope you love it 😁📸🎉
He He I just upgraded my GX7 to a GX9 and am absolutely loving it. Couldn't give a toss about video so set it to 1080/30P the same as my X113, it will never be used. I think I took one video clip of Egyptian geese goslings in St James's park 3 years ago. Fn1 is set to on screen settings, I only use primes so I set Fn2 to digital zoom so that at the Zoo my 45mm f1.8 will give a 90mm and x2 180mm equivalent. These Panasonic and Olympus f1.8 primes will easily take a 300% crop they are so sharp and contrasty. I have used x4 once or twice and it didnt let me down but I would usually crop further in post rather than in camera. I have disabled the compensation dial which is one of only 2 things I hate about the camera; I set comp using the main dial like on my GX7. The dial is hard to set and I kept jogging it by accident, besides which I hate retro controls, seething hatred at that dial he he. If I wanted retro I would have bought a Fuji. The other thing I hate is the lack of weatherproofing ho hum. I set 3:2 as most of my shots will be cropped panarama mostly 4800x1600. Thats it really I dont really use special features, I only use centre focus, single shot, manual low ISO, occasionally WB; most of this technology will go unused. Like most Magnum protogs, unless there is difficult lighting conditions requiring manual settings, I only set P mode and adjust DoF using teh back wheel wih my thumb; I adjust compensation if the subject needs it. I dont have time fiddling with silly settings just because purists thing they are important. I cant see teh point in taking a meter reading and then set it manually when the camera can do that itself, that is just madness. Of course using program is more difficult but its a skill worth learning. I just take simple photos, nowadays, mostly using the tilt screen. Both my GX9 and Leica X113 have tilting EVFs but i only use them in bright sunlight now. I couldnt go back to an optical finder now I have got so used to how these little electronic cameras work, I fully use these features like tilting touch screen which have become fundamental to my new techniques. Enjoy your new camera ;-)
Vici Martynov aah you got the GX9 that's wonderful, I'm jealous! And I totally agree about optical viewfinders, I don't think I'll ever go back either. Evf is really handy 😊🎉📸
Did the button trick on my G7 (really hard to find the correct way) to unlock ntsc format and use 30 and 60 fps (in fact 59.97), works fine. The only problem a yellow warning label every time you shutdown the camera.
Great video. I must take issue with the noise reduction for long exposure turned off. Going off my G9, without the noise reduction there is an unacceptable amount of noise.
Google/TH-cam are freaky relevant to my life. I've probably watched 10 videos on this channel plus 20 from other channels around M43 cameras. my gx85 arrived today and I come to TH-cam for a little guide for the settings and my second recommended video is this, from FIVE years ago. Other than that crazy targeting, great video!
HERO! Great video - so helpful!
Hiya, I've got my G2 but really could use your help with the setup as there is more bells and whistle on it than the average busker!! I can't even find the format new card bit thanks my friend
Thank you, very useful.
I watched this video this morning... oh.... a gx80... I've ordered one two days ago...
and it has arrived two days earlier than expected...
so... on my first camera day (well.. evening) I'm watching this video again :)
Dario Manzotti yay! New camera day IS the best day 😁
Nice work....I like your videos.👍📷
Crazy, but i just ordered this one from mpb. Can't wait as a companion to g95 for more Street fotos. Love your vids.
just ordered this camera. hoping to get the most out of it
Awesome video! You just make me feel even better for my unnecessary/I just want this camera buys. Lol I really want the GX8 just because it's small. I didn't go for a gx85 because no flip out screen.
Diana Gladney - EntreWoman TV haha yes I definitely need to quit buying cameras now don't I 😂 I really do miss the flippy screen but I'm loving the smaller camera body!
Micro Four Nerds Me too! I have the g85, just got the g7 a month ago or so and now I want the GX8! It's a problem lol but I love it! Lol
Jingle jangles and beep are first to go for me too!
G80 user here, I'd love a GX80 as a side-kick! I only ever shoot in M mode, so one thing I do is change the exp comp Fn butto to something else, atm I have it set to switch between AFS and AFF [can be handy for shooting perched birds as it adjusts to slight movements] - Another thing I'll do with a new camera is set it up for off camera flash, again I only ever use flash in manual mode so it's simply a matter of ensuring my cheap triggers are firing my cheap old Yongnuo 560 in sync [I do also have a Godox TT350o for the odd time I want to shoot TTL] - Beep is off for me too right away, and the focus assist light [I agree it makes little to no difference unless you shoot in the dark a lot] and I set the camera to 'shoot without lens' because I like to adapt vintage lenses now and then
Uncaged yes, "shoot without lens" is a must! I should have included that. And I quite like having the little flash on board too, it's very handy to trigger other flashes as you say 😊
Hi there love your videos. I have a question pertaining to Panasonic MFT cameras. I currently own the Panasonic G7 and find myself using it a lot for photography but with adapted vintage lenses. As you are well aware, there is no (meta)data coming from these lens to the camera hence I find myself wondering which lens shot what when I'm looking through the photos in lightroom. Any suggestions on how I would be able to at least somehow tag the lens in a series of photos in camera before changing lenses? Thank you in advance for any help - much appreciated!
Congrats on the new acquisition! Looking forward to your review, but what are you initial thoughts of the EVF viewfinder? Any thought on this would be much appreciated. Mahalo from Hawaii, Thomas
kauaiphotography what I have noticed so far is its very close to the screen (unlike the g7 and Gh5 design) and I keep hitting the screen with my nose and changing the focus point I without realising. The viewfinder is also a lot smaller than the others I've tried, but it is sharp and does the job when the screen doesn't 😊
Hi!
many thanks for sharing your settings? How do you enable the level gauge on the gx85? I try to find but i can't :(
Yay I'm so glad you bought this camera this is the same camera I have and I love it. I'm looking forward to your thoughts on it and also pics with your different lenses so I can see what to buy next!!!! I'm thinking the 42.5mm or 12-35mm for me and that would be wicked!!! I also look forward to your use with video. Also random question but when using these cameras with built in IBIS is there any time you should not have it on at all? I bought the Godox flash with it and it works beautifully too. I don't know why I'm excited for you but I am but I think its ulterior motives hahahah!!!
Christopher Martin haha yay! I love this camera I have lots of photo and video examples coming up 😊 the only time I would turn off ibis is if your camera is on a tripod for long exposures. Sometimes the ibis can get confused when the camera is perfectly still and actually add shake into the shot. In every other situation I'd leave it on 📸🎉
Thanks for this video.
Today is my birthday and I’m traveling to NYC for street photography. Have focus by touch on the screen. Can’t figure how to set up touchscreen touch to focus AND take the picture. Any suggestions how to set this up on the GX80(85 in the USA)?
I don’t know if you monitor old (and this is old) posts. Let’s see if the Seahawks can pull their stuff together for game two of this season.

Hey! I see Oly E-PL1 right there! I like that one!
great camera - i love mine - but I wish it had larger magnification in EVF - large EVF - such a fully loaded cameras - with IBIS - super Lmono - the great Panasonic menu and touch LCD -
very underrated camera - wish Panasonic upgrade and merge GX8 and GX85/GX9 into one camera - with the EVF magnification of the GX8 size of GX9 - a bit larger then the GX85 body to fit a larger battery - can be a bit taller - would not hurt to copy the style from Olympus PenF but a bit taller and larger :)
Interesting. I'm not the only one who hates the jingle jangle, and that irritating beep. I do pretty much the same: setting up custom functions and modes. Then I do the preliminary tests to see the limitations: ISO/noise, clarity, video stabilization, etc... Then, I do tests in locations I shoot most often, and test a bunch of other stuff. Then I post a TH-cam video. GX85 is a awesome camera.
which one better for making video and longlife battery gx85 or g7??
Great video, thanks you. 😇 I wanted to ask do you recommend buying third party batteries or not?
I always have in the past and they’ve been fine, but some people don’t like doing it. I suppose it’s a personal choice. Personally I’d rather buy 3x cheaper batteries rather than one official one
Cool Video, congrats! Tried the GX80 for a few days. IBIS is great. The camera is tiny and a wee bit heavy if you compare it with the G7. Amazing purchase now that is so cheap ;) So I'm probably selling my G7 and get a proper audio recorder instead.
Can you do a video on how to check your shutter count on the GX80, thanks.
Congrats on the new arrival.
Are you sure long exposure NR doesn't do things you can't achieve in post. Subtracting background noise picked up by the sensor is a very different operation to applying NR to the unmodified image in post. Long exposure NR + NR in post certainly has potential to do better, from a mathematical point of view.
As for setting up my new cameras, it varies on the manufacturer. On Panasonic bodies I find they often meter a little hot, so I like to dial in -1/3 exposure comp and configure it to remember the setting (by default it doesn't). I then save that to a preset (eg C1) so that when I power the camera on with C1 selected I know I can frame the shot and shoot without needing to make many modifications to exposure. And if I do need to apply more compensation, I'll be able to tell which way I need to go before I get the camera up to my eye. This is with matrix metering - if you use spot metering this obviously wouldn't help you.
I also set the auto ISO limit to 1600. And I love how easy that is to change while shooting on the Lumix interface. It's a shame you can't control the shutter speed at which these cameras raise the ISO, but with the dial controlling the auto ISO limit I find I can force it to use a lower ISO and slower shutter quite quickly.
Graham Ashton thank you! The reason I don't use in camera NR is I've been dabbling with a piece of software on mac called Star Stacker, which does essentially the same thing as in camera NR - finding the hot pixels on the sensor in each frame and removing them - but the software gives you a bit more flexibility and I guess can do a better job as it's a dedicated software. If I wasn't using star stacker I'd probably keep it on 😊 and yes... I absolutely love the lumix menus for their simplicity. So so well thought out!
I would also think that long exposure NR on camera, which is a hardware readout of the sensor, should be better than any software can be. Thats if you have the time for it (fireworks don't wait for NR to be done).
Agree on everything else though :)
Would be interested in a G7 comparison. I keep pondering to myself how much further panasonic cameras have come and if upgrading is worth while for the hobiest.
James Selway Hi James. I've a GX7, and bought a GX80 last summer. After six months I sold it again, preferring the GX7. I shoot stills, and no video, predominantly in good light. The GX7 is significantly better ergonomically (the grip and the manual focus + AE lock are a lot easier to use), but the GX80 has wonderful stabilisation.
In terms of image quality you can just tell if you pixel peep (due to the aliasing filter having been removed), but that's about it. The high ISO is about 2/3 of a stop better on JPEGs, but I think it was all software and the RAW would be equivalent. You'd not be able to tell prints apart if shot in good light, especially if you use RAW.
I hope that's helpful. The GX7 and the G7 are largely the same tech, I think.
If you shoot video the GX80 is a significant upgrade. If not there's a strong argument for it being a downgrade (I found it hard to hold, and I say that as a big fan of the original GF1), though it does depend on what you shoot. If you would benefit from the stabiliser, that could decide it all for you. It's a lot of camera for the money, certainly.
I just put up a comparison of the two on my channel.
Pro tip for someone finding this video in 2022: don't throw away hot shoe thingy: you can use it to prop up flash and bounce it from the ceiling :)
How about the microphone? can I use a HMDI to 3.5 jack for the external mic? Badly need a mic for GX80/85
Hi there. Could you do the same video for the GH5 please?
Thank you
some menu in my camera enable to use like photo style,highlight shadow i dynamic, i hdr, hdr, multi exp, flash,color space.. can you help please?
Great Video !! Greetings from Germany
Hello,
Please tell me how to get rid of a yellow exclamation mark that pops up every time I turn off the camera (after switching to 1080p 60fps).
Why don't you try do the screen hinge mod on it? I did it today and the screen fully articulates now and you can do selfies
This was the best COVID investment I have ever made. It's sad they are discontinued. I may grab another one. I love your content and I think you are absolutely wonderful. Thank you for the years of entertainment and knowledge.
Can anyone who did the NTSC hack to their camera explain if all the custom and saved settings are still there after the change?
I just did the opposite of you and added a GX85 to my fleet of Olympus. A new interface is always confusing. Thanks for the tips.
I assigned MF/AF to a function button on my GX-85. The GX-9 has a switch for this, but oh well.
what is the olimpus modei you have there, looks nice!
Hi ya. I finally brought my first micro 4/3 camera and got the gx80 . I've been looking on you tube for a video that goes through the menu in-depth but can't find one. Could you make one in the future please I love your videos thank you. linsey
I prefer to turn of the EVF eye sensor, and the neared function button as a dedicated EVF button.
Hi! Very nice and informative video. I just bought a gx80, and seriously thinking of doing the 4K 30fps hack, but I've read negative comments about some functions stopping working after that and also not being able anymore to plug directly the camera to the PC. Any feedback about that? Thank you very much.
I’ve had no problems at all, but I must admit I just use and SD reader so I don’t plug the camera into the pc
@@MicroFourNerds Thanks a lot for your answer, you rock!. My intention is to use the 4K 30fps so I can then slow the footage to 24fps and get smoother clips. Thanks again.
Great settings video. Are you still using this camera today? I was thinking about picking one up used for dirt cheap. Good ideas here. I might change my zebras to 100% too.
I’ve sold the gx85 (to help fund my gh6!) but have the g100 now which is quite compact and similar to the gx85.
Thank you!
Just bought my first LUMIX!
Hi, can i reproduce mp4 h264-h265 on the lcd of this camera? thanks
The first thinking set is exposure compensation to the rear thumb dial. Then I change the iso adjustments the thirds. This is on my new LumixG9. Other custom buttons I've fiddled with are the two on the front, the bottom to Chang the cropping in video or jpegs (x2 or x4 digital zoom). For video this is helpful when the lens you have isn't long enough or you don't have a zoom lens, and it still maintains the definition even in 4K. For stills, those are mainly for emergencies 😁
The top front button is now for wifi- remote shooting et al. I've also set the C1 to eBay mode- for when I'm taking photos for... eBay (way ahead of me, I see ;) medium jpeg, 50th or 100th sec shutter priority, exposure compensation at +1.3, auto everything else. Images are saved as raw+maximum jpeg, and, as I now have two sd card slots slot 1 if photos, 2 is video, but if I do paid work then I'll change that to back up.
And no, my camera hasn't got a name… well, it does- G9 so… Genie?
psionicdreams Genie works great 😁 yes, I love the vidoe crop function on my Gh5 in particular, it's super handy. And ebay mode is a genius idea if you use that function a lot.. Big time saver 😁📸🎉
Micro Four Nerds I work in a camera shop in a small northern town so putting second hand gear on eBay is a way to shift it. In between customers I’m often snapping old gear (just done a zenit 12xp) so the custom mode is really helpful.
I would love your thoughts! When I got my camera it was a toss up between the gx85 and the g7. I REALLY wanted to love the gx85 for the on body stabilization, but the ergonomics and controls just felt so cramped.
Wes Allen I think that is definetely a pay off with the smaller cameras. Luckily I have stupidly small hands so it hasn't affected me too bmnuch but I can see how it'd become a problem!! Full review up next week all being well 😁
What can be a problem when You shoot in NTSC and on other camera on Pal? Os there be a problem during edit?
I 100% agree on the "beep"...so annoying. I cant understand people that don't turn it off.
About the extended ISO though...isn't it so that the ISO100 doesn't give you any benefits over the ISO200 concerning image quality?
123florus yes there's no real benefit at all in terms of image clarity, the only thing it's handy for is if (like me, quite often haha) you want to shoot video in bright light and forget your ND filters. dropping down to 100iso can help keep the shutter speed lower and make the video look a bit smoother 😊
Micro Four Nerds oh i see...didn't think about that :) i don't really shoot video although I'm trying to get more into video shooting at the moment.
just bought my gx80 today and i'm in love with that beep :p
I want to reduce the in-camera noise reduction but can't figure out how. Can anyone help?
GX 80 30fps 4k disables data transfer from camera by usb still allows charging, but win 10 unavailable driver problem, you can take sdxc card out and still use it in a card reader. you can reset it using the video but also removes cinelike hack at same time
The bleep sound goes away first. After that I sort of wing it.
Hi I did the hack and it worked but I want to sell my camera now, can i remove the hack by performing a factory reset, if not...how do I remove it?
Fun video, I have the GX85 and used mainly as a backup to my GX8. Enjoyed your video and look forward to more!
You're awesome thanks.
does it work with lumix gx850/gx800 ?
So I have the gx85 and the half-press shutter focus doesn't seem to work anymore. I have the function enabled but anytime I go to press the shutter halfway it just takes the photo straight away without the usual delay you get from the half press as it focuses. It basically has made the camera unusable for me. Anyone have this happen before?
Have u had that problem where it changes to 4:3 when its says its gonna be 16-9 in the Ai option. Dont know if ur still using this camera haha. And also can u take a single photo in 4k without having to browse through a video and pick the ones you like. Love ur video thanks.
Q: When you film video on the GX80, do you have both IBIS and E-stabilisation ON? or just IBIS? I notices there is a crop with e-stabilisation being switched off and I am trying to figure out if the pay--off is worth it...! Any thoughts?
I have e stabilisation off on all my cameras. I’d rather add anything like that in editing myself then I have control
Great unboxing :) The only thing i'm missing in your video is the endless search for the right memory card that's fast enough for 4k while trying not to get scammed with fake cards on Ebay and Amazon :)
Good question! I use the black sandisk extreme pros, they're very reliable and fast for 4k. I have 2x 128gb ones in my gh5 and write to them both at the same time during jobs. I got them from amazon, just make sure it's an official sandisk/prime seller. And I'm pretty sure they're on offer for black Friday 😁
Im using a samsung evo + micro sd UHS I U3 with a XD adaptor I think, works well, rated for 90mbs read & write with no quality loss when recording 4k 30 on my GX80
Can you explain how you use the 2 second timer for long exposures? Thanks!
Hi! Yes, so I just use the 2 second delay to make sure the camera is completely still and I haven't disturbed the image by pressing the shutter. So regardless of how long the actual exposure is, I'll always just delay the shot by 2 seconds so my hand is no longer on the camera. You could use a remote trigger but this is an easier way
Micro Four Nerds thank you!
Customize the fn buttons of my gx8 today, finaly a new lumix body the gx8 is my replacement of my old G6 . the 60p setting looks great can you return to the old setting. And 50p mode is now not in the menu anymore??
Hi! Yes, to return to the original settings just do the exact same thing again and it'll go back. It is either or - 50 or 60 - so once you change the other option won't be available unless you go back
I did 75% of that you did (except bracketing, evf and grid, but got the idea about the later and going to set it).
My new camera today is the GX-!! Yay.
How to turn off autoiso on video shooting mode pls tell me
After many years using film and point and shoot cameras I got the GX80.And i have no clue what I am doing...LOL Your video is great but it goes a bit too fast for my old brain. Do you have those setting written down somewhere, that you can share?
Thank you
Hi, would ask how you connect the Ronin SC with the Gx80 as it doesn't have the RSS slot?
I’ve never used the ronin, but I just stick the Gx80 on the zhiyun gimbals and use it to stabilise the footage without a connection to the camera
Hi I would like to buy , could you please tell me how long we can record video without overheat ?
It isn’t an overheating issue - most photo-centric camera have a cap of recording time 29:59 hope that helps! If you want unlimited recording the gh5 / gh6 does that
