a week ago I asked your advice about a possible feature request regarding the GH5 exposure control when camera takes control of one or more parameters (e.g. M with ISO auto). It's correct that the camera shows the +/-0 icon until it can adjust the exposure, but when the light situation is outside camera adjusting capability GH5 should show the EV meter, so to warn user that he/she must take some action to bring camera inside the correct exposure range, i.e. opening/closing aperture or increasing/reducing SS. Doesn't it make sense?
(BTW Olympus OM1 mark2 operates in the very same way I'm suggesting)
Which of the Panasonic lenses would you recommend for general gimbal use on the GH5, I just git the Ziyoun Crane. Thanks man :)

what lens are you using on to shoot your youtube and what af setting do you have? I am on the GX-8 with a 25mm 2.5 lens. It works fine but at times during a youtube take, I notice it would pulse while im sitting and talking to the camera. I have it Af-c. I just wonder if upgrading to GH5 would correct some of these pulsing. Gx8 is hitting its age.
Thanks~
Thank you for the reply. Much appreciated!
I've been shooting test video at different frame rates (using VFR) and my recording is set at 1080p/25. I've now imported those videos into Premiere but cannot determine which shots were taken at 100fps, 150fps, 180fps etc. Is this possible?
Keep up the great video content.
I've searched for this question online but havn't come up with much, hopefully you'll be able to test it or have some idea!
I'm taking my GH5 hiking with me and power conservation will be VERY important. I'll have the battery grip and spare batteries but I want to do everything I can to conserve battery life.
I'm looking into getting a decent quality condenser microphone and hooking it up to the GH5 XLR adapter.
I have two concerns...
1. How much additional power draw would the XLR adaptor alone add to the GH5 with a condenser microphone attached that has inbuilt batteries, eg. rode ntg4+
2.How much addition power draw would there be with the XLR adapter and a microphone that relies on phantom power from the camera, eg Sennheiser MKH416.
Thanks in advanced for a response!
Is there any remote focus, zoom or lanc type attachments or ability for the GH5, that can be use on the Ronin M or gimbal other than a mounting a wifi table to the ronin m for remote manual focus pulls?
What would your suggestion on this, so that we don't have to rely on the auto focus, for solo gimbal work.
My intent is to put GH5 to a gimbal and HDMI out to a wireless transmitter to a live switcher.
As for using the record/play button as a custom button, the reason why I've asked about that was the fact, that the function behind that button is listed among the assignable to custom functions, which implies that someone may want to assign that function to some other custom function. But in that case the existing record/play button should be available for some other function. This is about consistency.
