In this video I will show you how to set up your Panasonic gh2 with the Helios
44m coming up. So three things you're gonna need, obviously camera panasonic
gh2 an adapter and the Helios lense
so the adapter you want is particular one is m42
mount which is a screw mount here to m43 which is for Micro Four Thirds camera so
once you have those three things you're gonna attach it. First thing we're going
to do is attach it to the camera you gotta line up your dot as usual find
it on on the adapter
and you're gonna turn clockwise it's a clicks so now your adapter is on
there. Next is the lens and the lens is basically very simple screws out into
the camera and this lens is 2.0 aperture so it opens very wide and there
it is. Very simple to use very simple setup so the next step will be to set up
the camera in the menu system so let's go to that right now. This is the menu
setup. Okay so now we're into the menu system and here are some shots from the
previous evening so let's get into the setup so you can see well how I filmed
Assuming that you on your dial you already have it on film mode so we want
to do is you want to go into the menu system. For my settings for the
previous night go under film mode I'm gonna go record mode and I have it
set to AVCHD 1080i you press that. Recording
quality we have FSH which is the highest quality or you have a FH I like to set
it at FSH it's the highest quality. We set that. Now exposure mode is
manual, because the lens is a manual lens now this is a very important here in
this menu system you want to go into number eight, you'll scroll down until
you find shoot without a lens because if you don't do this the camera won't
recognize that there's a lens on there so what you want to do is, shoot without
a lens and you want to turn that on so you're ready to go it's back to the menu
system, here. Okay another thing that I set, is this film mode
have my film mode here and I have my settings here at -1 contrast
-1 on the sharpness and - 2 on the saturation. You don't have to
set that that way that's just the way I do it.
Another important thing to note is that your SD card has at least a hundred
megabytes per second otherwise you'll be limited to just
10 seconds of recording if your card is is not high quality because you'll be
shooting HD you need a higher quality SD card which 100 MPs or more is preferred
usually the class 10 I'm gonna get too much into that. Alright, coming up
next we're going to have the example footage during the night time so you can
see the quality of the lens and this set up. Alright, thanks.
