Taking light meter readings on our first Panasonic GH4 camera test What does this mean in regards to testing the camera’s latitude? Camera Latitude When you import the footage and take it into DaVinci Resolve or Adobe Creative Cloud, you have the ability to adjust that footage by adding contrast, color and even moving the black level, midtones, and highlights to what you feel is appropriate for the look you want to achieve. Shooting in a Log format gives you the most to play with in post-production color correction.Ī Log image is going to have a grey color overall with limited saturation and contrast, and it will look “washed out.” What you are seeing is the camera telling you that there is a lot of “room to move” and that there is information in the camera that you just cannot see at the moment. What exactly is a “Log” format? You’ve most likely seen CanonLog, RedLogFilm, and LogC (Arri Alexa), and even SLog2, SLog3 on Sony cameras. Panasonic has released an updated profile to the GH4 by creating a log format – V-Log L. V-Log L Picture Profile selected on the GH4 We will have two more articles focusing on: This is incredibly important to have a solid understanding of what your latitude means and what it does for you. I want this article to just focus on the camera and its performance in the latitude. A camera test on a person’s face is going to give you a foundation of how you can use the technology and where you shouldn’t. This camera may perform well in other scenarios, but the one scenario that is going to matter the most is when you are shooting a person’s face.
The saturation of the skin tones on our model Monette’s face made her feel plastic and it didn’t feel natural to me.īy Shane Hurlbut, my initial thoughts on the Panasonic Lumix DMC GH4 It felt very sharp and “video” looking at times.
I did not personally like what I saw in my initial test a few months back as this camera had qualities and characteristics that I do not like to see in a camera when I am creating a filmic look. Many of you out there have been strong backers of the Panasonic GH4.
