Filming from behind the cameras means you can use two hands witch offers better holding of the camera. Filming yourself means using one hand so harder to stady the camera. Took some shots filming my partner with the IBS set to high with the 20-60mm lens. The ibs was very very good. Would have thought i was using a gimbal..even did a shot walking backwards and it was the same. The IBS on the S5ii/x is unmatched
Wow, thanks for the exceptionally detailed overview of the different stabilization modes. My summary is as follows. EIS standard is good enough for most cases when movements are more controlled. EIS High is more of a gimbal emulation mode and only essential in terrain like the one you had to walk on for this test 😂. Boost IS is a great addition for shots with major directional changes as any panning appears rigid.
Yeah I was really surprised by the standard mode! It’s much improved over the previous firmware version and would definitely be good in most situations. The extra width is really nice! One combination I forgot to try was Standard with Boost IS. I’ll have to give that a go and see what it looks like 😁
Nice! Thorough test! Boost IS has always been presented/discussed as a tool for handheld static tripod- like shots only (no movement). Yet your test with it on seemed to disproved that. Confused I is....
Yeah it's curious isn't it. I think the main difference is that it resists major movements like panning, so I guess it's intended for shots where the camera isn't dramatically moving. Which in theory would make walking/talking head shots a "static" shot and therefore a viable use-case? 😅 Although you can pan with it enabled and it tends to smooth it out quite a lot soooooo
I’ll try to include some examples as B-roll in upcoming outdoor videos 😀 I didn’t think to film any shots like that today as it was quite a long walk out of the woods to see anything other than trees.
L mount is made for those who want to flim from behind the camera. E mounts is for those who want to be in front. Hence why most RUclipsrs use Sony or Canon they don't do much filming more talking to the cameras and showing themselves
@@orinorio1 Guess you are talking about low end cameras, although some YT use FX6 to film themselves it's rather the camera to be behind it (as FX9). Both e-mount :D.
@@JoATTech plenty of RUclipsrs use the a7v A7iv. As it's known for face tracking. Sony brand is for RUclipsrs more then film makers. Same with Canon. 10 to 20m lens are made for those who want to stand in front of the camera. 35mm an upwards is for those who want to be behind the camera. Most camera users today want to be RUclipsrs not film makers. So Sony and Conon market to those users.
I just rented the Sigma 10-18mm. The camera forces you into APS-C mode. So essentially it's the 1.5x crop + 1.45 e-stab (HIGH) corp. I really wish Panasonic Lumix would all users to select whatever crop mode they want, regardless of lens type.
Are you 100% positive? I’ve seen other videos with that lens on the S5ii. Have you tried disconnecting the lens from the contacts by turning it be slightly and manually putting the focal length in.
Oh that's an interesting point - I do use that technique when using the electronic stabilisation on things like GoPros, but I actually haven't seen any artifacting when running at 180° shutter on the S5II in the e-stabilisation modes. Maybe it scales the shutter speed itself automatically when using shutter angle? 🤔It would depend on the type of stabilisation system used, I think.
@@robert_may i just tested yesterday, and with 1/50 and electronic stabilisation sets to high I could see the same artefacts when using Gyrodata and 1/50

All people make movies with head. But interesting how stabilization landscape

Thank you. Interesting walking and running b-roll movies.
Shame new Laowa 10mm F2.8 does not have AF on L-mount :(. Unfortunately l-mount is not as open as e-mount :(

I'd really like to see what happens with the Sigma 10-18 in FF mode EOIS set to high. I should only be a 1.43x crop.
That’d be a really interesting test!

@@dannyly Aw that’s a shame. Yeah would be nice if the camera just let you choose 😅
Are you 100% positive? I’ve seen other videos with that lens on the S5ii. Have you tried disconnecting the lens from the contacts by turning it be slightly and manually putting the focal length in.
no one mentioned that you need to use fast shutter speeds, otherwise there will be artifacts .So 1/100 or 1/200 would be better result when using 1/50

@@robert_may interesting, i gotta check it with 180 angle .
What about autofocus?
