Wind back a year and I ALMOST had to stand in as video shooter for a dance school run by my son and daughter in law. I managed to avoid that when I needed to be last minute stand in on the audio desk (I’m an amateur but experienced video editor and audio engineer but have negligible shooting experience), but it looks like I’ll be drawn in to shooting this year’s concert.
Last year’s concert was shot with two cameras – Sony PXW-X70 and the GH5S - and I’ll have use of both this year. The guy who did shott last year had no experience with the GH5 and while we got plenty of usable footage from it, on a few occassions it was slow responding to changes in lighting resulting in burnouts until the camera caught up. The attached clip gives an indication of the issue (in this case coming from black to illuminated)with the left half of the clip from the Sony and the right half from the GH5. The Sony gave a pretty good representation of what the human eye saw. I have a vague recollection that while I was scrolling through the in camera menus earlier this year I saw a slider to adjust exposure response speeds but haven’t been able to find it again or find any reference to it through internet searches. Any suggestions from GH5 users on settings or to links to good GH5 User groups/forums would be welcome.
Cheers, Robbie
