Nolan Gunn yet again excellent video man 🥳🙌 I use manual sometimes it’s amazing that the g85 has this autofocus type of thing when going into manual and it also has peaking which comes in handy by the way how is the yongnuo lens on this ?
Thanks so much! Yeah I use manual most of the time as well, and autofocus if I need to set focus once for a talking head shot. The lens is the Panasonic 25 1.7 on the G85 and the GH4 B cam has the yongnuo 50 with the viltrox speedbooster. Thanks for watching yet again! It's much appreciated!
Really great video Nolan. Been watching these as I learn my G85 thanks for doing them! Too bad it struggles so much with auto focus I will have to try using manual
Thanks for this. I was getting pretty frustrated with the poor quality auto-focus, but your explanations of the different options has helped me find some more usable solutions, so i can still get some decent footage
Thank you, Nolan. I really enjoy my G85 but it certainly has a steep leaning curve, at least for a novice like me. Your tutorial is very easy to follow: Thank you: TJ
Like your style and keep the videos coming!!! I've been using the G85 now mainly for video now for 18 months and agree that 1-point @ 1080p with a smallish aperture is the only way the AF can really work. Typically I use the AF-ON option assigned as back-button focus and manually pull focus if I need to.
Thanks so much! 😊 Yeah I'm going to do a few more tests with my new Sigma's and see if I can dial in the best settings! I use AF on quite a bit as well and then dial in too 👍🏼
Just got a lumix! This is what I needed! Tanks for a great video! Probably the best video on autofocus! Please do something about the background music,,,
Just wanted to say I had exactly the same reaction when I first tried the tracking mode! The realtime tracking of small objects is very impressive and surprisingly reliable, but ultimately useless since it never focuses on what it's tracking.
So what would be best settings for shooting on the golf course. I usually am by myself and have to put the camera on a tripod. What settings should I use so that when I make a swing or move out of where I was standing it doesn't go crazy and try to go in and out of focus? Thanks for the tips!
In that case, I would go fully manual. I think setting your focus with quick AF (using the app if you're alone) and leaving it as is may be the best route for you.
I'm still using the G80 (EU) mostly for photography, and mostly I stick to one area with the smallest box. Must mess about with the others see how it goes.
Outstandig skintones, especially in your studio footage! How did you setup your camera to achieve those colors? Or is it lighting/grading that makes these awesome skintones?
Hey! So all my settings and picture profiles are in my Cinematic Settings video. For the skin tones, it's really nailing white balance straight out of camera and then tweaking the midtones with color wheels. Also a soft box REALLY helps! 👍
@@NolanGunn It's pretty hard to pick the most helpful, love the examples and how you state your faves - but the biggest difference is that you show the screens to the point where I could actually navigate the camera settings following along with the video - and I couldn't find another I could follow along with - thanks again :)
Hey geremy! If you're doing primarily photography, the A6300 is better in many areas. For video I would say the G85 is better for my uses. Not overheating in 4K, ibis, no record limit, and better battery life are more important to me on the G85 than 120p and better low light on the a6300. Lenses, they both have a very good selection especially if you adapt with a speedbooster to Canon. Sigma has some really great options for both systems. It really depends on your needs. They're both awesome cameras! Hope this helps!
You did a great job with this. Does the GH85 extend past the 30 minute mark if you wall plug it with the fake battery? No problems with getting clean HDMI? Thinking of it for a b-roll camera and for streaming. What do you think?
I don't know why, but I have the impression the 25mm has horrible autofocus while recording. Before, it does it fine, but once you hit the record button, it just goes nuts, starts hunting focus and can't focus properly. The 12-60 works way much butter for that, although, it's a slower lens.
@@NolanGunn what about vlogging, I wanted cinematic vlogging because i will also use the vlogging clips on music videos . I was going to buy Canon 200 D SL2 which is known for its dual pixel autofocus , but then I got to know about G85 and discovered that at this price range it gives the Most Cinematic look . But autofocus s the main problem
Then I would stick to canon for now. If you buy some nice glass you should be able to get a really nice look! The SL2 is a great camera, I don't know a lot about it, but a lot of people love it!
Yes, very helpful and it tells me that I'm not the only one who's pissed off at Panasonic. Now with the Olympus OM 1 Mark 2 at 700 bucks used at BH, and the Fuji XS10 at less than 1000 bucks, there is absolutely no reason to even get a used GH5 or wait for that hypothetical GH6 if t's going to only have an autofocus based on constrast technology. I mainly use my camera in manual with adapted lenses but I do need reliable autofocus when I vlog and it's happening more and more and frankly the 85 simply can't do it well. Good buy Panasonic!
What focus area setting would you recommend for a self talking head video; simply pointing the camera at myself, at a table, speaking? I'm shooting at 1080 @ 60fps. Thanks for the video and any help you can provide.
Hi Nolan! Your videos are very informative! Thanks for helping us! Im using Tamron 17-50mm 2.8 XR Di IISP with Viltrox EF-M2-2, I'm testing this out with my g85 and i dont know if the Tamron Lens is causing why I can't use the autofocus on screen.
Thanks so much! I'm glad to help for sure 👍🏼 hmm... I would check all of your physical switches. Make sure the lens is on AF and your G85 is on AFC or AFS
its the 25 lense that is bad for auto focus. i have a lot of lenses and the 25 1.7 is the worst of all when it comes to autofocus. when i use the 12-60 3.5-,6 its much better. the olympus 12-40 2.8 is pretty good also . good lenses give you good autofocus with this cam.
The 18-35 would be great. You do lose some quality with the Viltrox though. A great starter photo lens would be a native lumix 20mm 1.7 if you want a good walk around ultralight lens.
Hi Nolan for this video, really interesting I noticed you managed to remove the recording limitation..do you have any advice how to do it? mine comes from the UK
Thanks anyway.. I updated my g80 to the latest firmware just yesterday and now the video it is so bad which is virtually unusable.. lets say i have bigger problem now :)
@@NolanGunn basically by the end of the day it seems th lens adapted to the new camera firmware and now look like is working again.. I am speechless :)
I'll have to run some more tests. I would assume as Sten said that that would be true. Ill have to pick up a newer kit lens and see how it performs. Any thoughts on the 12-40 mk2 kit lens?
49 Area is the worst just forget it’s even there. The only two usable ones are Face and 1 Area. My Kit Lens 12-60 3.5-5.6 performs better than the 25 1.7 from casual testing.
@@NolanGunncheers mate, i can see anything on par price wise though that will do an ok job for video other than the GH3 or the Gh2 hacked but the GH5 is 1500 more than the G80/g85 used though. Great video and helpful channel.
Bro settingan G85 buat bikin music video gimana ya? gua baru beli g85 dan pake lensa 25mm 1.7 gimana setting fokusnya ini? kok setiap gua ngeshoot suatu objek dan udah fokus pas gua mundur atau maju dia malah ngeblur itu gimana
Wow, its realy slow! Lumix gx9 same. But still slowly? (2 years after) I guess it's not suitable for filmmaking. İs the only budget option sony a6500??? Or canon M6 mark 2? İ dont know what to do
It's still pretty slow! The S5 and GH6 fixed most of the issues, but i still will not rely on it for pro shoots. Depends on what you're shooting. What do you film?
Just noticed that you've added the battery hand grip to your G85. I was wondering do you keep have 2 batteries loaded when using the grip? If so, when the battery in the camera is depleted, do you have to remove the battery grip to recharge it?
Yes! I use two batteries when I have the grip. One in the camera, one in the grip. The annoying part is, like you said, you have to remove the grip to get access to the bodies battery. Super annoying and one reason ive started to shy away from the grip.
@@NolanGunn Thanks for the reply man. Much appreciated. I was on the fence about getting the grip, but your answer has convinced to not get the grip anymore.
@@paulespino6462 sounds good! There are some higher mAH batteries you can get that have around 1700 mAh vs the stock 1500. That may last maybe 10-20vminutes of extra recording.
AF on the G85 depends a lot in the lens you use - also you should avoid AFC and use AFF - according to the manual in situations where their is a brightly lit back ground the camera turns AFF into AFS
You must don't know what you're doing because I've shot short movies on the g95 and had no problems with the auto focus, just put it in the A mode or the Movie mode with continuous AF and 49er.
They called the G7 etc a 4K camera but then we find out it cant focus etc in 4K. Lovely. Can anyone help me with my 25mm f1.7. I cant rack focus by manually turning the lens wheel because it has some excessive play or focus by wire so it lags heavily and doesn't respond to turns, meaning the same turn does different focus ramps each time i repeat it with a focus rod attached to the lens for accuracy (found out it ramps to different lengths for the same half turn depending on how fast you turn the ring). It seems Panasonic is a shit company when it comes to video and nowhere near Canon. From crippled lenses to crippled cameras. Imagine my plight, a camera that cant focus, with any lens, there is no method of focus marking, unless you can turn it from mark A to mark B at EXACTLY the same speed like a robot.
@@NolanGunn > Yes physical lever is set to MF on camera body. Else it wont even react. Its reacting, but doing it randomly and all over the place. I wanna ask you one thing, when you are on manual focus and turn the ring a quarter turn slowly. Then do the same quarter turn but turn real fast. Do you get 2 different types of focus ramps ? To visually see your focus ramps distance use the FOCUS direction assist tool ON (it shows mountains to macro logo) and that will show you visually from where to where it has focused. In mine if i turn fast it will go right from one end to the other and if i turn slow, it will cover just a small portion. Is this behavior existing on your lens too ?
Yes! So it did do the same thing. I just had to practice to get a feel with how it focused. It's not ideal for sure. That's usually the case with a lot of focus by wire lenses.
Do you shoot primarily autofocus or manual focus? Why?

For video I have found Tracking mode works best. 1080p definitely works better than 4K.

Just wanted to say I had exactly the same reaction when I first tried the tracking mode! The realtime tracking of small objects is very impressive and surprisingly reliable, but ultimately useless since it never focuses on what it's tracking.

On the G85, you access the AF Mode by pressing the Q Menu and then pressing
Yes!
Thanks for the tips Nolan!
Of course!
Well done, you may try eye focus mode, thats incredibly better focus
Thanks!
I have had the G85 for over 2 years, the autofocus is so crap that selling it was a joy !!

hello a recommendation between lumiz g85 vs sony a6300, as far as photography, video and lenses.

I didn't ever record over HDMI but in the US it has an unlimited record limit so no worries there. It's a great B-roll camera!
I don't know why, but I have the impression the 25mm has horrible autofocus while recording. Before, it does it fine, but once you hit the record button, it just goes nuts, starts hunting focus and can't focus properly. The 12-60 works way much butter for that, although, it's a slower lens.
It could be the aperture too. The 1.7 could be a lot harder to focus due to the thinner focus area.
would you recommend getting this in 2020 as a first camera?
Depends on what you're shooting, but for me I would absolutely still buy as a first camera!

Hi Nolan, do you use a ND filter with your Sigma 16mm 1.4? Any recommendation? Thanks!
Yes! I recommend Gobe variable nds. They're great!
Thank you for rivew is good
Will one area work well if the camera need to be on the move?
So you still have to give it a few seconds to catch focus, but as long as there's decent contrast on your subject it will focus. Just very slowly.
What focus area setting would you recommend for a self talking head video; simply pointing the camera at myself, at a table, speaking? I'm shooting at 1080 @ 60fps. Thanks for the video and any help you can provide.
I think 1 area with a box around your head/chest may work. If you move a lot you may get some pulsing though.

Can't expect much, because AF in G85 is purely contrast detection, if there is phase detection, thing would be better
