@@GeekyNerdyTechyit’s @itsdjbuddha - this time using my actual KZread channel to reply 😂🤦🏾‍♂️ On my channel I found myself doing a multicam with a GH5 MKII and an iPhone 13 Pro Max. Then shooting my b-roll with the GH5 MK II The issues this may solve: - using Filmic Pro on the phone is OK, but it’s still a phone and it can’t do constant frame rates which seems to be a hardware limitation. So re-transcoding that footage was annoying (to match up frame rates for the Multicam to keep sync) - Product shots with the GH5 MK II are great but the lack of usable autofocus made it a non-starter for lots of things. And doing a talking head video with products was a challenge. Ideally I’d love to buy the new camera and eventually sell the mark II to get a second one so I can have 2 of the same camera for shooting. I have a question though, another reviewer pointed out that when connected via HDMI you lose autofocus control or you lose phase shift (I’ll try to find the link for reference) if this is true, does it also apply to app control? Sounds like a processor limitation, hopefully you can elaborate. Great stuff again, love your videos, been subbed on both accounts!

Thanks for the effort you've put into this. A point that came up recently on other channels: Can you confirm that for 1080p, full frame, and frame rates above 30 fps, the camera uses the "old" contrast DFD, and not PDAF? The explanation I've seen is that for full frame read-out and higher frame rates, lines and pixels are skipped, causing phase-detect pixels to be missed as well.

Many thanks for very instructive video. Just would suggest to include customization suggestions for C1,C2 and C3 plus buttons, this can be quite helpful for beginners. Many thanks again.

With a normal sd card of 200mb/s you can shoot in any mode or you need type II? For video

Hi, is it possible to shot photos while we are making video? Thanks for the reply:

Thanks for the comprehensive video! I have one question though, In the Lumix S5IIX's menu under the 'Rec Quality' tab, why does it offer 10 pages of different (Rec Quality) settings if you shoot NTSC - alternatively, if you shoot PAL, you only have 6 pages of different (Rec Quality) settings??

@GeekyNerdyTechy

NTSC also has a native 23.97 (just shy of true 24p) which is why you'll see more modes in NTSC. Pal is pretty much just 25/50/100.

38:40 idk if it'll hurt SD card that much, but general consensus is that it's better to format SD card, not to delete single files. But that's the advice when you deleting photos or video files. For the purpose of saving settings it might be good to have cheap low capacity storage SD card solely for settings/emergency options.
