I feel like I owe every single subscriber I have to you. I know there’s not many, but finding your channel was a game changer for me! Every time some asks a production question I just direct them to whichever video of yours I learned from. Thanks a lot for all the knowledge you’ve shared over the years 🙏
It's so easy to get caught up in needing the best gear. I picked up an a6400 last September, and the more I shoot with it and improve, the more limitless and capable the camera seems. There's so much more to good video than just the gear and that's learned through practice. Great video as always✌️
My g9 recently took a dunk in a river so I needed a replacement, but realizing I mostly do landscape work and the occasional video I settled on the g85 and think I love it even more than the g9. Reason is now I have to force myself to double check focus and exposure which results in better shots than when I get in the 'ill fix it in post' mindset. Love that you've stuck with these budget focused videos!
Another tip for exposure: try to expose for what you can't control. So for example expose for the window, then set up your lights in the interior to match that outside exposure
Nigel, you consistently demonstrate really great color, lighting and composition no matter how "limited" the camera equipment you've been using. I really dig your eye for color, contrast and composition. Makes me wonder if you went to film school or had similar training?
The vibe of your videos really is very unique. I always feel "at home" and comfortable watching :) By the way: Would you chose the Lumix G9 or the GH5 as an upgrade from the G7?
Another thing to add to exposure is to find out where your camera is better at bringing down highlights rather than bringing up shadows. It might apply more to newer cameras.
The dynamic range of cameras is quoted in stops, and it's nearly all shadow detail. Overexposure latitude is still very limited, even on the latest cameras.
As a general practice, just because it's 10 bit, it doesn't mean RAW and you can simply not care about white balance. WB is easily fixed in RAW, not necessarily 10 bit. Get it right in camera. Remember: if 8 bit is good enough for Hollywood, it's fine for the rest of us.
Totally agree,I simply meant that colors are typically easily to mess with when you have more bit depth and obviously a LOT easily when shooting raw. But yes 8-bit is still totally good enough for most of us and thats kinda the idea of this video, is to get it right in camera. Thanks for watching!
I'm a fan cuz u stick wit the budget friendly gears, lots of creators when they're big they just forget the budget friendly segment.
this is so true they become unrelatable
Thanks Nigel! I know this is a bit late but: Welcome to Texas 👍
Thanks Christopher! I'm liking it here!
@@NigelBarros as long as you like heat, it is good...haha!

I have a g85. I love it. it is amazing what you get for the price

The most challenging in you tuber life I think is audio and you just save the day great vid Nigel like always
Thanks!
Exactly what I wanted to learn. Thanks bro
Thanks for tuning in Chris!

Hey that means a lot to me thanks for that! I'd actually go for the g9, has useable AF for most situations and 10bit! plus its budget friendly!
@@NigelBarros Thanks for your opinion!
@NigelBarros Does the G9 support 10bit HDMI out and can you get unlimited record time by using an HDMI recorder?
A few months into my TH-cam 'journey' and these videos have been a massive help. Thank you dude :)
Useful info for my Canon 70D. Bigup sir!
Great info for beginners! thanks so much👍🏾
Your videos are just an art bro!

Very great work ,compact and very easy to consume content keep up the good work!
thank you mr barros
Cheers mate 👍
Thanks man!
I felt like such a rookie recently after doing several shoots outside with my white balance set to tungsten.
wow.
What such a great video Nigel thank you so much for sharing all these knowledge with all of us appreciate it
Good to see the videos coming! Great info vid! Thanks
great video bro!
Very helpful
You can actually fix focus in post shooting with iPhone :D
For inside audio, a small diaphragm condenser (SDC) microphone may be a better option.
In the Exposure part, would you rather say that ETTR is not that a good option for you?

cheap canon recover the highlights more than they recover the shadows , i noticed that with my old canon m50 , thanks for the tips though
Any budget friendly shotgun mic recommendations like the Senal MS-77?
GH3 is a great Camera. Where did you find that halfcage? I would love to get one.
Just one question: How expensive do you consider budget?
Glad to be the 1000th LIKE

Where are you from? Come take a photo with me in Indonesia
Is that a cricket pitch you are walking up on at 4:20?
Anyone knows a good wireless receiver - transmitter option for us Iphone users?
comica and synco have decent ones!
@@NigelBarros and works with Iphone 8?
4:53 when I connect my g85 to my phone the screen is tiny. is there a way to get a bigger screen?
Did you keep the s5? Did you like it? Do you use it?
I loved the S5, but I actually sold it in October of last year low key kinda regret it
@@NigelBarros why?? Lol
@@ChrisFlores22 I had some things I wanted to buy and since I had three cameras at that point, i sold the S5 to justify buying new gear
ISO my worse pet pea
Why don’t you post on TikTok any more?? 😫😫
