Let me know if this helped or if you want me to do a follow-up video of any of the features! :) Hope it helps.
Hey Sam I’ve got the first version. I know you did a video on this but can you do a comparison between the two. Also can you do a video soon on your work flow?
Sure thing. What workflow do you want to see? Filming, editing, planning TH-cam videos, or everything start to finish?
More than helps! Thanks!!
Sam, this was brilliant for me as an experienced S5 user 😆 I had the front custom key set for focus peaking for vintage glass, but your tip is perfect. Changed my stroll wheel to similar custom settings as yours, including moving peaking here! The only thing I am annoyed at is that the custome keys remain the same in video mode and photo mode... Would have loved to have kept focus peaking up front for photography. Thank you!
Definitely helped - an idea for a follow-up would be how to use these settings for someone like me coming from photography to starting out more seriously in video. IE when and how to use vectorscope vs waveforms, creative ways to use focus transition (like can you use it to dolly zoom?) or how/when you might recommend using live cropping, etc. Or even reviewing vlog luts could be cool too. Thanks for making this content!
Hey Sam, I have a great idea for a firmware update, maybe you can pass it along to Lumix. Many people complain about the lack of tally light on the S5II, but in fact, there IS a tally light on the front of the camera! When you use the wifi/bluetooth feature it turns on. So all they need to do is to update the firmware so that we can choose if this light (next to the s5 logo) turns on while recording! What do you think? This could be really helpful for many people. Thanks!
That's not a tally lamp that's focus assist light and is way to bright
Thanks Sam. I'm watching and keeping your tutorials for when my pre-ordered S5iiX arrives. Brilliant.
I purchased myself a S5IIX today and thanks to this video, I was able to fully set my camera in 30 minutes🎉
That’s exciting 🤩🎥 so glad this helped
Just picked this up, very impressed with the auto focus so far, also there was a slight motorized sound in the S5 don't hear anything at all with the Mark II. So helpful to have these to know all the features and customization! Thanks for putting this up. Going to shoot some musicians and a film short with this camera if anyone is interested.
Insane amount of information! This video must have taken you a long time to prepare but it is essential viewing to set up the camera. Thankyou from the TH-cam community for making it. It’s fantastic!
Hey. Thank you. So pleased this helped 🤩🙏🏻🎥
Well done, excellent explanation of the menu items. I was especially interested in locking out the dial to keep from accidentally changing the shutter angle while filming. I learned a lot, thanks!
Your S5M1 setup video was amazing and this one is just as great! I love the operation lock button set as I would always hit the shutter speed without even noticing! This is going to help so much thank you!
🤩 thank you. Hope it helps 🎥
This is just the tutorial I needed! This saved me so much confusion when switching between modes through the custom mode settings. This would otherwise eat into valuable shoot time for me and I'd miss the crucial shot. Can't thank you enough.
Hey. So pleased this helped 🤩🙏🏻🎥🎉
As a person who just got his new s5iix today, I totally appreciate this. I’ll be following along with my camera
Thanks for that! Fantastic tips
Hey Karl ,I want to ask you that on which tripod do you use this camera for vlogging. Btw i love yr videos, subscriber from India
Fantastic video! Actually quite useful for my S5 as well, while I wait for my S5iiX to be released! Haha! Personally because I film a lot of events and weddings with this camera, I actually set the front button to Image Area of Video to change between Full Frame and APSC crops for quick zooms without loss of resolution. This is great for the times you see something happening and dont have time to change lenses but also want to be in closer. Im thinking im going to change the back/delete the operation lock. Thanks!
Hey Sam, thanks for the video. I just got the camera and this is a perfect set up guide - really well judged. Much appreciated.
Great bit about the custom mode and saving your changes
🤩👌🏻🎥
Love your clear, concise video. Love your personality! Thank you.
Can i just say you are the first person to actually help me with all these buttons and functions.I had no idea the power this camera had until seeing this video and the tips were amazing. thanks so much i will subscrbe and come back to get more tips to help my lumix work even better in my favor.
I have an S5 and most of the features fit on it. Sensational video. The best so far. A subscriber from Brazil gained.
Lumix hits the market for filmmaking twice as better and definitely be my long term camera brand for my niche. Thanks for Lovely Tips even i don't own it yet and i'm obessed with lumix
🤩🎥🙏🏻
I'm only under seven minutes in and I'm already hugely grateful. That operation Lock trick is solid gold. Thank you!
🤩🤩🤩 so pleased it’s helping. Yes it’s a great function 👌🏻🎥🎉
So much value, thank you!
Thanks Sam. Very useful for me coming from years being a canon user. Only been out once so far since picking up my S5 ii due to work and dark winter nights. Lots to learn.
Great stuff I hope this video helps 🤩🙏🏻🤩
Perfectly done! Thank you for this complet tutorial.
Sam, your video is just in time for me receiving my S5II. I loved the S5. The very best videos I've ever shot were done with the S5 and S1H. Panasonic rocks! So much better than any of the others (and I've shot them all). And your videos are by far my favorite, so clear, so helpful, so well done. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Hey. I’m so pleased you enjoy the videos. That’s exciting about the S5ii. I hope you enjoy 🤩🙏🏻🎥 thank uou
@@SamHolland Me Too. It should have arrived today, but we're in the middle of a three day ice storm here in Dallas. A rare, rare occasion that we don't know how to handle. So our roads are empty. No sane traffic, including Fed Ex and UPS.
One question for you. Have they improved the peaking? You may or may not know, but the Fuji peaking is state of the art, but Panasonic has only played games with their peaking. It's weak, hard to read, and virtually vanishes when you hit record. The one exception is the GH5 peaking. S1: unusable. S1H: okay, but only so so.
If you didn't get it, I really like to shoot MF.
Oh no. I hope it clears soon. Stay safe! 🙏🏻
Honestly I haven’t had much experience with peaking until this camera so I have nothing to compare it to. I’ve just been out filming with the anamorphic lens using peaking and it did ok but I always find it hard to see on the tiny monitor screens especially with de squeeze mode on
Fabulous as always, Sir Sammy. Cheers.
Incredibly helpful. Thanks man!
Love your videos man! Thank you so much. Keep inspiring us all and keep creating!
🤩🙏🏻 thank uou
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, your video is really clear and helpfull.
Thx Sam for all your videos. Really appreciate your work.
My pleasure. Thank YOU 🤩🙏🏻🎥
Very informative and useful 28mins on S5 mk II setup for video. very practical content.
Thanks John 🤩🙏🏻🎥
absolutely love all your explanations, helpful, sympathetic, and professional - thank you!
Thank you! 😊🙏🏻🎥 hope it helped.
@@SamHolland yes and i had fun with almost all of your videos :D
🤩🙏🏻
Legendary! Gonna steal some of these functions for my S5ii setup!
this was all super helpful!! Thanks.
Sam, cheers dude. I do YT for a job and have just purchased an s5ii . . . I was a bit daunted by the the technical stuff so this is most welcome.
Great video, thanks, just got this camera and this helped
Thank you for this master class. You have saved me so much time by going over this tutorial!
So pleased this helped 🤩
Absolutelly GREAT!! Thanks Sam
🤩🎥
What a fantastic video! 🙏 Just got the iix and this is exactly the video I needed.
Thank you. I hope it helps 🤩🙏🏻🎥 enjoy your new camera
Thanks, Sam. Have a great day!
Thank YOU. Have a great day too 🤩🎥

Mine just arrived. In love. 🥰 This was a quality video. Thanks Sam. 🤘🏻
Thank you. I hope it helps. That’s exciting for you 🤩🎥 enjoy!
@@SamHolland Yeah I’ve been running the channel with two G9s but as I’ve started vlogging a bit more they’re not cutting it. I’ve set mine up like yours and I’ll see how I get on! 🤘🏻
Thank you for fantastic video 🤘
Great tips, hoping I get my hands on one this week.
🤩🎥
Sam, knowing there's a lock feature is massive. I was seriously thinking I'd made the wrong camera choice because I didn't know this feature existed. This is a game-changer. Subscribed.
Quite a learning curve for someone to pick this up and get the most out of it innit
one step at a time :)
Great information boss..... Love you❤❤❤❤❤
Currently waiting for FedEx to deliver my new S5ii this morning, and have this video queued up and ready to go. Thanks for the guide!
🤩🤩🤩🤩 that’s exciting! 🎥 I hope this video helps. It’ll be here waiting for you
Thanks, Sam ! Great vid! I love this camera and I can mix lenses with my Leica SL2-S. Perf!!!
Operation lock is a game changer for me!
👌🏻
Thank you SO MUCH SAM... Just got a s5 ii and this was JUST what I needed. Ur tha man!
🤩🤩🤩
Thank you so much. I just got the camera yesterday. This help me a lot.
🤩🙏🏻🎥
...just got my S5 llX and this is helping me so so much to configure for video
Hey. Congrats on the new camera. I’m pleased this video is helping
Thank you very much. Very resourceful video
🤩 I’m so pleased it helped 🎥🙏🏻
Done! You sold me on this camera!!
🤩🎉🎥 great camera!
You're awesome man. Really helped me get a great start after getting this awesome camera. Much appreciated
So happy I could help 🤩🎥🙏🏻
This is great, Thank you.
You went through some of the settings pretty quickly, had to pause a lot. I found trying to set some shortcuts to the the 4 points on the scroll wheel, some presets just wouldn't take. Trying to figure out why. The manual is much harder to follow than videos. Next, looking for best audio setup practices.
Value for sure. Thank you
Really nice and helpful video. You have a great delivery style along with outstanding production value. New sub. Thanks for making a great video and sharing your knowledge.
Thank you! Great to have you here 🤩🙏🏻🎥
For the first time I've been able to find out what the Fn#1 button does. Huge thanks!
🤩 you’re welcome! 🎥
That last part of the custom modes was so helpful. After using an A7sIII for the last few years, the custom mode being so rigid was always an annoying hurdle during shoots.
🙏 thank you! That was great
You are an angel! Thank you for this video
Thank YOU for watching 🙏🏻🤩🎥
Oh my god the issue you described in the Custom FLEX section was killing me. Amazing tip. Skipped to the end to watch Fn buttons, but will be back later to watch through the whole thing. This camera is great for customization, like a beefed up GH5, but man I've found it to be finnicky if you miss a few small details / settings when setting it up.
There are also 2 handy shortcuts
AF-ON NEAR: to give priority to foreground elements
AF-ON FAR: to give priority to elements in the background
This is very useful for shooting through a wire mesh, to give an effect or to zap quickly from a close-up to a distant person.
I placed them on the up and down cursors
Sorry, I forgot. Great video. Thanks for taking the time to share all these settings with us.
This helped me so much!!!! Thank you 🙏🏻
Thanks Claire. I’m pleased it helped 🤩🙏🏻🎥
I appreciate this vid my man ! 🙏🏽
Merci pour toutes ces informations très utiles 🙏🏻
Nice tour
Sam, I'm a news subscriber. I have this camera on order. Can't wait. I'll check out all your videos delivered to me as a subscriber to you. Thank you. Keep it up!
🤩 that’s exciting. Thank you. I hope you enjoy your new camera 🎥
@@SamHolland I'm in Japan. I edit like a savant. I'm American in Japan. I want to do Multimedia Journalism, commercial AD shoots, sports reels, maybe even 1-man-band weddings. This is a life changer and gamechanger camera for me, it seems.
im planning on getting the S5 II X and this is the perfect video, i know exactly what i need to do
🤩 that’s exciting. So pleased this video helped 🎥
u are a legend, these all tutorials made my Lumix S5 II beast, thank you very much...also love the accent and sarcastic you
My pleasure! Glad it helped. 😂 haha thank you! 🙏🏻🎥
Love your sincerity it is infectious mate carry on😊😊😊
Thank you 🤩🙏🏻🎥
@@SamHolland Thank you I just bought the camera and I already want to marry it, you made it easy for a newbie🙂
😂 it is a great life partner! 🎥 I’m pleased the video helped! 🎉
Thanks a lot for this mate. 🙂
You’re welcome. I hope it helped 🎥🤩
@@SamHolland really did, buddy🙏🏽
Great video mate! Absolutely love this camera!! Most fun I’ve had making videos in a long time with the s5ii. Been using it for a couple of weeks now and still watched the whole video 🤓 #watchtime 😂💪😎🎥
That’s exciting! So pleased you like the camera and thanks for watching. Hope it helps 🤩🎥🙏🏻
Great Video
Oh Sammy Boy why do you keep doing this to me ..... I had made my mind up and now you have got me thinking again. So much so I watched all 27 mins and 59 seconds of this that how good your video is ... frigging awesome and love the Studio set up you have nailed it . That option lock tip is cool but just so you know there is a physical lock switch on both the R3 and R6 MK II buzt they dont have VLOG ....... oh what am I going to do !
😂 it’s fun to see you go through the same pain I went through but I since came through the other side 😛😂 it’s great over here! 😂 only kidding mate. Canon is amazing too! Just like most cameras are! 💪🏻🎥
Thanks though man. Glad you like the new studio.
Wait till you see the anamorphic footage 🤯🤯🤯
@@SamHolland Oh no not more .................. 🤣🤣😁😁😂😂👍🏻👍🏻
The moment when you said I love this camera 😊 I switched to S5ii from Nikon d3300, I really felt that 😅
Hi Sam, as usual, great video, keep up the great work. It is possible to punch in to check focus while recording video? Cheers
Thanks!
🤩 thank YOU!!! 🤩🙏🏻🎥
Thanks a lot! I was really confused about this whole thing coming form a Fuji system, you really made it much easier. :)
Also, I am sure others must've also told you that you look like Tom Hardy.
Glad it helped! 🙏🏻 😂 Tom Hardy. Thank you 💪🏻🎥
Made the rookie mistake of turning my camera off (what was I thinking.... to preserve battery!?) right before you said 'now, to save those custom settings...' 🤦♀😂
This video is exactly what I need while learning my way around my new camera. Thanks, Sam!
😂 oh no!!! 😱😱😱
I really hope you’re enjoying the camera and I hope the videos help. IG if you need me 😉
This is great for noobs like me, who are considering this Camera!
Great summary, however you should include recommendation for recording modes because the wonderful new AF is only supported in some few…
Damn this fit is super useful
Great video sir. Do you mind telling us about pixel to pixel zoom ( crop) option in this camera? Can you crop in while shooting 4k video under pixel to pixel?
Hello mate - the beast has arrived! Thanks for pointing me towards this great camera (got the X). One question I do have (as I'm filming in the UK) should I use PAL or NTSC? I've noticed 60p and 30p aren't available in PAL? I'd be keen to hear your advice on this?
I've been using Panasonic for over 6 years, and there's been a couple times I thought I hit record and didn't so the big red box is actually a really good feature
Same here :D
Great video. I like you. Wonderful personality, and great delivery of information: to the point, no fluff (except for fun personality moments). Thank you!
Ps. looks like your affiliate link is broken for the calibrite color card, wanted to buy it through you to support you. Please fix! :)
Thank you, James 🙏🏻🎥 hope it helped!
beautifully done! Switching over to the s5ii from Fuji xt4… this video was a huge time saver.
Question… the last tip to switch off all the ways to reset to a custom setting (which is a great tip). But, How do you return to the custom settings original settings if all of these are off? 🤔
Well it’s only intended for you to make small changes like shutter speed and white balance etc. you would leave all your FPS settings and codec the same 👌🏻
27 mins and 59 seconds of pure viewing delight 🥳 great vid mate
Ah thanks brother. Nothing you didn’t already know 😂 looking forward to your 7 hour version 👌🏻🎥
Thanks for the tutorial, great stuff! I've followed your recommendations exactly, and something is causing my minimum aperture with the kit lens to be 4.0, not 3.5. Resetting the camera to factory settings will fix this, but one of these settings is causing the aperture minimum to be raised. I'm at the widest angle, 20mm with the zoom lens. Any recommendations?
Edit: The issue is caused after factory resetting the camera, changing the exposure mode to M (while in video mode), and then adjusting the aperture with the wheel on the camera after zooming to 60mm. While zooming back out to 20mm, the aperture will not go to 3.5, and sometimes becomes stuck as high as 5.0. Is this lens not meant to have an adjustable aperture at a given focal length?
Additionally, the camera is showing aperture readings that aren't possible for this lens. It's sometimes even stuck at 6.3, when the smallest possible aperture is 5.3.
Beautiful videos Sam! A quick question, what settings in your opinion will be best for shooting a video when the environment is being constantly changed, like with a walking subject? Thank you!
One-takes are tricky. It’s mostly to do with the practical lighting and planning you have set up in advance.
You could do it a number of different ways but a good place to start Is going midway between both exposure extremes. Use variable ND filters if outside to inside etc
Hello Sam , great video how to setup the Lumix S5 ii for video I use your setting for my Lumix S1H , and is look perfect for me , I watching 27: 59 mn , great job , you are the one thank you so much , have lovely day , yes the Lumix S5 II great camera , and you look so happy , big like 494
I’m so pleased it helped. Thank you for watching 🤩🎥
Hi Sam... your videos r really helpful... appreciate a lot...could you please share some thoughts on knee setting in like709 mode
THX!
Hey Sam just an amazing video. Not that most of what you do isn’t, but I have been a fanatic about customizing my lumix and truly thought that I knew it all. The customization of the Q Menu however is something that I didn’t realize you could do and it will change my shooting experience for sure!
Here’s a very unexciting question for you, how the heck did you get that color greenish menu color?
Also when you change your settings so that you can make changes to WB, etc and be able to shut you camera off and have it remember what your new settings are, is there an easy way after the gig to hit some sort of preset restore button to bring it back or is that a manual process. Not the end of the world if not, just curious.
Thanks again for your continued commitment to great content creation!
Hey. I’m so pleased this helped.
So if you go into the white balance selection screen, scroll along to one of the Kelvin options, instead of pressing UP, press DOWN and it will bring up the tint control. Is that what you meant? Then when I talk about saving and restoring presets, just select the option for it to remember / restore when you turn camera back on. 🤩 sorry I don’t have the camera with me right now to tell you what the exact name of the option is. Hope this helps and thanks for watching 🎥🙏🏻
Sam, you are a lovely man and a major reason why I've been a happy Lumix user the past year or so.
I just wanted to know if you utilize timecode with the S5/S5ii and if so, what your methodology is. I thought I'd be able to get by with setting the timecode to run constantly and sync all my cameras with the clock using Lumix sync, but for whatever reason, the clocks get massively out of sync. Like 7 hours out of sync. It's made clips a massive pain to organize.
Thanks again for all you do!
New S5II ✅ Cup of tea ✅ Going to enjoy this! Thanks for making this. Out of interest, what do you use for spare batteries, the official ones or a third party one?
I always use the Lumix ones 🎥
Thanks Sam!
Thanx.
