    With Panasonic white balance, I used a technique on the G80/85 when setting a custom white balance.
    Instead of setting the white balance against a grey card, get your lighting in your studio sorted out and then use the white balance tool against your face and then let the camera work it out - in the setting custom white balance tool, I found this to be the best way to set white balance against skin tones for the G80/85.
    Did not need to do any correcting post either when using this technique, hopes this helps.

      @@jeffslade1892 Chinese is a language that doesnt use the latin alphabet and instead uses characters. There have been a few romanization (writing a languages phonetic sound into latin letters) attempts. The current system is called Pin Yin and was develop by the Chinese government itself so its the current standard. Its spellings often require learning of the phonetics and pronunciation to get the correct sound though. While the original system was called Wade-Giles, and his system used a more english friendly pronunciation without learning the phonetics. Neither system is really perfect though due to the complex nature of Mandarin Chinese. But in that old system it would have been written "Yong No".

    85mm fullframe 1.8 bokeh is okay. if you want to have that 5.6 look, do it. i like to use fullframe with lens wide open. i shoot at night with 0.95 or use an 1.8 for greenscreen, so that background folds are blurred away.

  • @jeffslade1892
    @jeffslade1892 3 года назад +1

    You can easily change colour on a Panasonic by selecting another Photostyle, and then you can go in and alter those colours further. If you are using the Standard Photostyle then you probably have the most authentic true to life colour rendition of any camera, which is useful for scientific/technical shots, but not particularly vibrant; if you have dull grey skin, it will show that. It is not so easy to alter the colours on an Olympus, there are less styles available and you can really only alter the saturation.

    Quick question: Have you used the Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 9-18mm F4.0-5.6 Lens? I'm looking for a lens that can pretty much just live on my G9. Currently I'm pretty happy with my Panasonic 14 mil but sometimes it just isn't wide enough. I despise fisheye lenses, I really hate that look and I'm not into re-distorting an image to make it appear straight. So fisheye lenses are not an option for me. I know the F4.0-5.6 rating on the Olympus lens won't make it the brightest kid on the block, but it should be bright enough for my little shit show. I record things and stuff, and sometimes I find that I just need a wider view.
    Soo good choice? Maybe not so good? Anything better for the same or similar monies with auto focus?
    Cheers 🍻.

    Hi,
    I heard that you help people with camera questions. So I have decided to upgrade from my canon 200d but I am confused about which camera to buy my use case is shooting low-budget short films for youtube, some paid work and some street photography so I need a hybrid camera with good autofocus and ibis because I do all these things alone and I don't have a gimbal or stabilizer. I came across a few cameras 1. Fuji xt4 I heard a lot of good review about its colors but main features such as autofocus and ibis is not that good 2. Panasonic s5 had a great ibis but autofocus was terrible 3. Sony a7c was a good option but the ibis was terrible and it shot 8 bit and sony a7siii is way above my budget. I have also heard rumors about a7iv but I don't know when it's going to be released. And I don't like canon or Nikon So can you please suggest to me any camera (if full frame it would be better)under 2000?
    Thank you and I love watching your videos!!!

    Did you do a real review ... nice one :) Good lens for the money. Preferred the Olympus to the Pana. BTW: Nuthatch not a Robin

    The Paniboy is a bit sharper. My opinion isn't that important, because I'm here about 40cm away infront of my 48 inch 4K TV.

    The pani did you wrong in the outro. Straight up looked like a greenscreen the way it cut you out lol

    The Panasonic is defo better quality but the nuogoughrlouuo is still really good quality with a slight brighter look to it to boot, Overall the nuogoughrlouuo is worth its price tag...Great video as always dude and really enjoyed the test and your banter....LoL..

    Oooh nearly 100 K !
    But fear not, the embarrassing, yet menacing public Tai Chi should cut that back to 50k in the blink of an eye. Never mind...
