UPDATE: The LUMIX S1 also has Open Gate, in the form of (for larger-than-4K), there's "6K" 5952*3968 (3:2) 24p as well as a "5.4K" 5376*3584 (3:2) 30p modes! Both are 4:2:0. What do you think; are you intrigued to start shooting in Open Gate? With the GH6 firmware 2.0 released on July 5 2022, you can even do 4:3 5.8K RAW with the Ninja V+!

Well, sort of. I don't recall what I said in the video but here are the two cameras - the GH6 shoots 5760x4320 in what's called "5.8K" mode, which is an accurate name when looking at the source width (5760 = 5.8K). The GH5II shoots 4992x3744 in "6K-A" mode. I don't recall now if the "6K" is a diagonal measurement (probably, since the diagonal is 6240) or if it's a measurement of what it'll be once it's stretched (even a 1.33x anamorphic stretch will result in over 6,600 pixels wide), so that name is more a marketing term. Since the mode is no longer meant to be used only for anamorphic, the name changed to reflect a more realistic use (and what we're used to seeing… "4K" = 4096 wide, not diagonal) pulse.ly/usz7chbns3

This video is an excellent demonstration of a seriously underrated feature. Honestly Panasonic should be shouting this from the rooftops - especially since shooting dual aspect is such a big deal now. You could shoot an entire feature like a documentary and distribute it as dual aspect.

I still prefer horizontal video but between resolve and the open gate sensor that would take a lot of the pain points out of shooting for different aspect ratios.

Same for the Panasonic LX100 I used to have. Had a dedicated switch on the lens to switch between aspect ratio's on the fly. This also supported 4:3 and worked great! The greatest feature is Aspect Bracketing where you can take a single picture and it takes 4 different pictures with all 4 aspect ratios in the camera (3:2, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1).

This feature was actually available (on accident) in the GH4 in one of the later firmware updates. people liked it so much they kept it in the GH5 and GH6

The GH5, the gift that keeps on giving. Thanks for the download!

Dude, this is the reason I bought TWO G9s. Their "6K mode" is open gate 4992x3744 (same as GH5). It's fixed at 30fps 4:2:0 10bit 150Mbps HEVC. You have to configure the "6K photo mode" to start-stop record to make it work as a video mode (don't have the dial turned to video mode or it will do regular 16:9). There is a 10minute limit to record time. You get audio as well. Not bad for a camera with a street value of less than $1K. The G9 seems to be the 13th floor of hybrid cameras - how did this not get a mention? Thats why i still call it the most underrated budget semi-pro camera there is even though it's getting a bit long in the tooth now. Not bad for a 2018 stills camera. The only thing I personally feel lacking is a higher bitrate and built in log which feels expensive to me as I have to buy it as an addon even though it's not the full thing. I wish Panasonic would just give it away. Maybe you could have a word to them since G9 is probably EoL soon.

Suddenly got excited again over my old Panasonic LX100. A camera from 2014 with a 4/3 sensor that shoots 4K that would let you select sensor crops on the ring. 3:2, 16:9, 1:1 and 4:3. But can only force a reframed 16:9 video out of it. What you really need is a custom aspect ration grid you can apply to the reference monitor/viewfinder at all your aspect ratios. That's the killer feature to make best use of this crop. Been using it on full TV shoots for a few years and never looked back.

Thank, really love this feature on my GH5. Would just love to have more fps on the GH6, also can it do extended dynamic range while in this mode? Lastly would love to have a 4:3 sensor on the S1H mark Ii

Perhaps an additional update? The OG S5 (yes not the S5 II/IIX) has "open gate" video recording at 30P as well, but is hidden in the menu. Change camera mode to "M", change selected burst mode (I use II) to use 6K Photo, change mode to S/S (shutter start/stop). Limited to 15 minutes per recording, but you can select 3:2 (5183x3456) and 4:3 (4992x3744) aspect ratios and even set Photo Style to V-Log. Includes audio! My understanding is that is also 200Mbps bit rate recording. I've used it successfully for far better Anamorphic than the official "Anamorphic 4:3" mode on the OG S5. If you could, suggest that now the S5 II/IIX have received firmware upgrades that Panasonic move that 6K mode to the video menu on the OG S5 as a friendly gesture.

Most of our edits remain in 16:9, the extra room for vertical edits is a nice to have but for I’d prefer it like shooting log whilst previewing with a correction lut; the most available data recorded to work with whilst previewing something looking a bit closer to the end result.

This is a such epic feature! I should tell my grandma immdiately, and she doesnt bother to rotate her camera anymore😊

Sure thing. Proxy is smaller (usually half size, so quarter the likes), and compressed. It’s meant to be small, easy to share via cloud, easy to fit on a laptop. Usually H264 or H265/HEVC Optimized is the opposite. Typically rendering to ProRes, full resolution. These files are much bigger than the source, BUT are easy for your computer to handle. Computers can work lay back ProRes more easily than bug H264 files that come off most cameras.

Hi 😊 Thank you for this amazing video. Question: Do open gate files take up more data than 16:9 and if so do you have an estimated percentage of how much larger they might be? Open gate for non-anamorphic lens projects seems like a good option to allow for reframing up and down in post while maintaining 16:9. This could be especially valuable for gimbal shots if the camera unintentionally drifts too high or low for a take and a reframing adjustment is needed in post. Thank you sir. 👍

@photojoseph

File size is determined by data rate, not pixel dimensions. 200mbit is 200mbit regardless if it’s 1080p, 4K or 6K. You can convert mbit per second (megabit per second) also written as mbps into megaBYTE per second, then x60 to get a per-minute estimate. Don’t forget to include audio but that’s minimal compared to video.

@@photojoseph Thank you for the reply. 😊 I didn’t know if 16:9 saved data by not recording the tops and bottoms of the sensor as opposed to open gate, but you have a good point in using the bit rate to look at file sizes. A person can look at the bit rate for each record setting (if they own a GH6) and make a storage decision from that perspective. For those of us who are considering a GH6 but don’t have one in our hands I suppose I was looking at it more from that perspective. Perhaps I can check the owners manual for the bit rates of 16:9 at 4K 4:2:2 10 bit and compare that bit rate to open gate at the same or closest similar resolution and calculate a percentage in file size difference from there. With a percentage difference in file size I can calculate a storage cost for shooting and storing open gate footage as opposed to 16:9 capture to assess if any difference in cost is a value proposition for my purposes. With the cost of high speed media for the GH6 it would be nice to be able to estimate the cost of data storage ownership before going down the GH6 path or going down the open gate path as opposed to 16:9. I don’t shoot for social media, only my own narrative work so open gate would just be a framing bonus (or safety) for me. Thank you for your insightful video and for your bitrate suggestion as a metric for choosing open gate or 16:9. All the best to you sir. 👍😊

16:9 anamorphic results in what around ~22% reduction in resolution for a 1.6x squeeze lens? 1/5th of the resolution. However, and I see this is the issue with the FX3, less resolution might actually get a softer filmic look, to be honest. I think things have gotten way too f'n sharp. And if you are shooting anamorphic, you ARE trying to look filmic, not like a crisp corporate ad, right?

@photojoseph

@gothamindembaum you got it. You can compress vertically or you can expand horizontally, it really just depends on what you want to achieve. If you’re shooting LUMIX open gate then you’re starting with 6K so can go either way without losing anything; if you’re shooting 4K 16:9 then you’re definitely losing pixels by compressing horizontally. And yes the softer look can definitely be desirable, although there’s a difference between low resolution softness vs film softness. This is why the S1H is still so popular - it’s the only full frame LUMIX without a low pass filter on the sensor, which opens it up to moire but softens the overall image in a way that most filmmakers prefer.

@@photojoseph i see it from the mobile content creator, shot everything opengate 4k then do the crops for vertical 1080HD. I believe iphone requires an app to shot 4:3 4k

Do you know any external monitors , that fit the size of the open gate?

Next level.

Still not gamer level, but definitely next level 😉

I am curious what you think of Fuji xh2s open gate in 6k apsc sensor. That’s 3:2 and not the 4:3 on lumix. Is that a fair compromise for social media. Thanks.

Like I discussed in here, 3:2 is better than 16:9 but the 4:3 aspect ratio (closer to square) is better. More vertical overlap. In a perfect world the sensor would be 1:1 square, like a Hasselblad!

You can shoot 4:3 and publish it like that, but remember that most screens favor the 16x9 aspect ratio, so you'll just get more black bar spaces on the left and right. Maybe people just like the IMAX looking frame, but it doesn't matter if you're not showing it on a 4:3 screen like an IMAX.
