Panasonic GH4: 96fps Slow Motion Demo!Impressions! #Helpful Post

today's video is brought to you by

Squarespace

hey guys johnathan here with TLD hope

you guys are having an awesome day and

for those who have been following the

video world know that as of last week

the Panasonic gh4 is official so I've

had mine for a few days and then I

posted a couple to use on Twitter and on

Instagram I've been getting tons of

questions on when is the video coming

now I really wanted to spend some time

with that and learn it because prior to

this video I've always been a Canon gu

y

so in terms of DSLR video I started out

with a Canon 7d then I kind of

downgraded down to a 60d but only

because it had the flippable LCD but for

me that was perfect I then moved up to a

Canon 5d Mark 3 and about 6 months ago

even though it's not a DSLR I made the

plunge into a Canon c100 that's what

I've been using since then and that is

hands down been my favorite camera

period so if you haven't caught it by

now this video is actually being

recorded with the gh4 it's in 4k well

it's actually technically 3840 by 2160

so it's UHD but if you go to the YouTube

quality option you'll actually see a 4k

option now I do want to note though and

point out that the gh4 is capable of

true cinema 4096 by 2160 resolution you

have to actually go into the settings to

enable that so when I was getting my

test footage I did not have that enable

so that's why I'm shooting in 3840 by

2160 right now so this video essentially

is my first impressions of the gh4 after

about a week of use for some reason I'm

always a little apprehensive and a

little hesitant to do camera videos I

think mainly because I feel there's so

many more knowledgeable and talented

people when it comes to cameras but I

get a little shy I guess but I'm gonna

do my best to give you guys my rundown

so this video is a little more casual

it's not gonna be super technical but if

you do want to see a more detailed

in-depth review let me know by hitting

that like button so a little quick info

about the gh4 just in case you have not

been following it's a mirrorless Micro

Four Thirds camera and my first

impressions of it is that it's really

really small the first day I got it I

actually threw it on a set of Blackmagic

Cinema Camera handles just to see how it

would feel on a rig it worked really

well I was able to get some pretty

stabilized shots but to be honest the

thing is so damn light that you really

kind of don't need that and as a little

segue from the Blackmagic handles I was

actually testing

the production 4k camera if you guys

want to see a comparison of that versus

the JH for definitely let me know now

getting back to the lightness of the gh4

kind of almost feels like a toy when you

compare it to a 5d or even like a C 100

which absolutely dwarfs it but I took

the same test and took it off the

handles and kind of mess around and see

how it would fill free handed now

because the camera is so small you're

able to do a lot of things that you

maybe couldn't normally do with heavier

cameras so if you're using handheld that

in combination with the really light

lens combinations gives you a lot of

room to do some cool stuff so speaking

of lenses in terms of what I picked up

to go alongside my gh4 I grabbed the

Panasonic Lumix G barrio 12 to 35 F 2.8

lens and if you have no idea are not

familiar with Micro Four Thirds cameras

you might look at that focal link and

say holy balls that is wide as crap but

actually because of the crop factor

which is two times on the gh4 that

twelve to thirty-five is actually

equivalent to a 24 to 70 on something

like a full-frame 5d Mark 3 because you

guys can hear I got two pups are digging

in the background so here's a little

quick clip of them so you guys can see

melody barking at Big Mac and she

actually just got her summer haircut so

she's looking all super clean such a

tiny little dog with your haircut Big

Mac is licking the lens Big Mac here in

4k dude now quick sidenote your average

run-of-the-mill SD cards are not gonna

work with the gh4 in terms of 4k video

recording this is 100 megabits per

second so you need a really fast SD card

to accompany it I actually picked up a

Kingston and a stupid ridiculously fast

sandesh extreme car both of which I will

have link down below so far both have

worked perfectly obviously the SanDisk

is rated much faster but I haven't had

any problems with the Kingston again if

you guys do want to see a full review

I'll get into more detail on these SD

cards in that video now also something

that's insanely cool with the gh4 is the

fact that at 1080p you can actually

shoot up to 96 frames per second for

super slow motion video so I will

definitely be having some fun with that

testing it out and bringing you guys the

results I also gotta say autofocus has

been really really nice now for me

coming from the 5d and the C 100 that's

not something that I've got

experience I know it's out there on the

70d but for me it's new and it's

definitely been a great experience so

far

speaking of autofocus right now I have

it on the face detect so if you guys

want to let me know how that's working I

can see it tracked in my face right now

but for me that's something like I said

I've never had before so definitely let

me know what you guys think of the face

focus detection with a comment down

below in terms of video quality I have

also been pleasantly surprised with that

I was a little bit worried coming from

the c100 even though that's 1080p the

video image is amazing like it's one of

the best images I've seen on a camera

period so I was a little apprehensive

coming to the gh4 but I've been

pleasantly surprised so far and it's

actually a lot more detailed and sharp

than I thought it would be one thing

that I've noticed that videographers and

a filmmakers should really find useful

as within the gh4 there's actually two

cinema style presets in terms of color

profiles out of those two however preset

one is definitely what I prefer although

I will say out of the box it's a little

more saturated that I normally like so

here's an example of a straight

untouched unaltered cinema preset one

you can see it's definitely really

saturated for me anyways and once I

actually crank that down to about

negative three negative four that was

really more along the style that I liked

and prefer so here's a similar clip both

with the saturation cranked down a

little bit about three or four like I

mentioned and you can see to me that

looks a lot more visually appealing and

a little closer to something like I'm

used to on the c100 so like I said this

has mainly been my first impressions of

the gh4 if you guys do want to see

comparisons of this against the

Blackmagic 4k camera these pups are

going at it again let me know what the
