Hey look what I have here it's a $3500
mistake let me explain to you what
panasonic gh4 is it is a joker played by
Jared Leto now is Jay Leno a great actor
who want an Oscar who is a fantastic
musician a director and an activist yes
he did he ruin Joker by doing stuff like
this yes he did and so did Panasonic
they ruined gh 5 by doing these and
they're now gonna play again the game is
called poison what's in focus
what's in focus right now right now I'm
in right now your focus is a your guess
I think okay I'm not going to look I
think the background is in focus
I think I mean people say the camera is
bad but you see you can have a good time
with it
okay I'm shaking okay my left hand right
we're in my hand unless we can anything
hyah
[Music]
I'm gonna say
here it is Panasonic gh4 the camera I've
been waiting for so long the camera that
promises and delivers amazing features
that comes with this red and black strap
cable mount USBC cable TM w BL F 19 1860
milliamp per hour battery a charger a
power cable and the beautiful gh 5 body
with this camera I also bought this 12
to 35 millimeter array of 2.8 mark to
Loomis G lens which came with a pouch
and a hood this lens has optical image
stabilization that works hand-in-hand
with gh 5 s 5 axis sensor stabilization
gh 5 is weather sealed and it fits right
into your hand and in total it weighs
1033 grams which makes 2.27 pounds now I
decided to shoot this episode using
Panasonic gh4 so you can see what it
would do in a situation like this where
nothing is really moving and the
autofocus is the custom settings turned
off everything is in the factory setting
before we begin talking about the focus
issues the stabilization issues the
battery life and how I cannot charge
this device using the USB C port I like
to talk about things that I love about G
H 5 because there are so many things I
love about gauge by that it actually
hurts I love the buttons
I love the function buttons I love that
everything is out there you can set it
to whatever you want
immediately they're all there and the
touch screen is fantastic and it's
responsive and the menus are designed
really good screen on this camera works
perfectly you can scroll from here and
it is really really sensitive the focus
speed is actually fantastic when you're
taking photos when you set it to the
fast actually it focuses really fast I
really like to post focus feature as
well I think it's a lot of fun to have
something
like that in your arsenal and then there
is focused transmission what we said one
focus point here and then the next focus
point there and create fantastic beauty
shops the microphone and the headphones
out the HDMI in us PC in the cycle I can
go ahead and change the dual memory card
the battery without removing this camera
from the tripod at all they are all
fantastic features it's really nicely
designed I really love the maybe I
created with my custom items in it and
of course I love the more crop for case
60 frames per second hundred and fifty
negatives per second video quality by
the way if you're wondering what no crop
means look what's going to happen I hit
record seek and zoom then that's because
when this camera is recording movie it
doesn't use the full sensor so the image
is cropped
now Panasonic gh4 let me put this in
2004 intelligent auto mode when I hit
the record button as you can see it
didn't do min it also can shoot 1080p
hundred and eighty frames per second
slow motion video and also it can shoot
10 bit for two to 4k in 24 / 30 frames
per second in 400 megabits per second if
you're wondering what 10-bit is let's
start with 8-bit 8-bit has 256 red 256
blue and 256 shades of green in it so in
total you get 16 million color
combinations where tendeth has 1024x1024
blue and 1,024 shades of green which
allows you to have 1 million color
combination let's talk about 4 - 2 let's
begin with 4 - 0
imagine 4 pixels here and then 4 pixel
down there in the upper row there are
only 2 pixels that have the color
information that is 4 to 0 and in for 2
to the upper all of 4 pixels
two of them have color information' and
on the bottom row the four pixels again
two of them have color information so
what's all this good for it is just
fantastic when it comes to editing your
video it gives you all the flexibility
with the green screen blue screen or
color correction these are amazing
amazing features and then we have the
other market mall and let me tell you
what anamorphic is back in the day when
they were filming on 35 millimeter films
they wanted to shoot wide angle so they
stretch the footage while filming to use
most of the film and then when they're
projecting on a screen they use a
special lens to make it wide again and
that created some artifacts like those
JJ Abrams result lens flares and the
whole bouquet or bouquet or however you
wanna say and when you get a camera like
this because it record such high quality
videos you're going to need a fast
memory card which means you have to
spend a little more money than you
already spent for this camera for
example if your memory cards writing
speed is something like this you'll
probably get this notification so you
need a faster memory card I use this
memory card and filming in 4k 60 frames
per second was no problem at all I'll
leave links to the memory cards in the
description box below
another great feature gh 5 has is it
supports UHS 2 SD cards that is why I
went and got myself this like Czar's
hundred and twenty eight gigabyte St XE
UHS 2 plus 10 u3 memory card what does
UHS to meet look this is a regular
memory card and this is the new memory
card I am talking about so the
difference is this has more pen which
allows faster read and write speeds but
now the problem is your computer
probably doesn't have the new UHS 2
memory card reader see all the files are
going to be
you want to transfer the files faster
which brings us to our next expense and
that is UHS to memory card reader but at
the end of the day it all pays off
because this camera is the camera most
of us dreamed of I mean look at this
low-light performance but I think it's a
big but let's talk a lot of battery life
yes it is good it is better than the
Sony camera boy as far as I can see but
it is still not enough and on top of
that I need to take the battery out to
charge it I cannot use the USB C port to
charge the battery or power the camera
which is why I have two more batteries
on the way right now and battery drains
no matter if the stabilization is turned
on or off I took the battery out from
the charger I was laying on the couch
playing around with the many the new
2025 minutes
I lost a bar in that battery indicator
which has three bars by the way also
what's up with the stabilization why
isn't anyone talking about this
revolution is this just me it's just
this camera when I'm walking with this
camera when the civilizations turned off
the footage you see looks like I'm doing
this with the camera and to compare this
I tied my sony SDI a 3000 on top of this
camera and walked and even those on the
FDR x3000 was on top of this camera so I
was getting shaken more when you look at
the footage you'll see that it looks
straight and when I start running well
let's not talk about that before we talk
about the focusing problems and why it
bothers most of us this much I'd like to
remind you this for the autofocus system
I think is probably the biggest thing
we've
a lot of people are focused on right now
the focus is much faster than it ever
been in any of our counters before but
what's more important is that the camera
is processing 480 images every second
and every single images being Auto Club
distant in camera and the old system we
can only look at 240 images and we'd
only autofocus every image yeah so this
is a much faster autofocus system for
both video shooters as well as
photographers well now everyone is
talking about the focus when I receive
this camera it was April 4th and the
people who got the camera before me were
already discussing the autofocus issues
and in most gh 5 autofocus based videos
you see people are pointing their
cameras from one object to the other
constantly and claim that it is working
great so I did the same tests with my
camera and yeah mine was working great
too
but that's not exactly where the problem
is the problem is no matter what setting
you set your camera to the autofocus
never works properly and constantly it
never really locks on the subject and it
just wants to look at something else
this camera has more than auto focus
problem it has a DD if you're taking too
long
it's just drift into something else
until you do something drastic to get
its attention back look at this example
where I patiently wait for it to focus
on the flower and after a while I force
it to focus by pressing the shutter
button halfway down which doesn't work
either then I switch to manual focus and
focus on the flower manually so this is
a state of the art an expensive AF
camera that can't deliver the AF this
camera is like an iPhone that doesn't
have a headphone jack it's like a tesla
card that autopilot feature drives you
off a cliff it's like a supermodel flash
rocket scientist you wake up next to
anything wow that was the worst ever I
mean you get the idea
[Applause]
[Music]
then there's the face detection that
detects your face if you're staring
directly into the camera but when you
tilt your head to the side or forward
the face detective leaves the building
so in every scenario in every test in
every setting Panasonic gh4 autofocus
system is bad
this is GH five compared to Sony rx100
mark five what's setting am i using with
mark five nothing it's just in autofocus
and it works so it is a gamble sometimes
everything is in focus and sometimes
nothing is in focus for the longest time
and you never know until you put it in
your computer that's what she said but
when it works it is sad
you
Hey nautical look if you're a person
behind the camera this is probably not a
big deal for you you can see that it's
out of focus your public holding it like
this and you can understand how the
focus you can use the shutter button or
you can do whatever you can you can
switch to manual focus and fix things
but look where my camera is look where
the screenings I cannot do anything I'm
just sitting here hoping I'm in focus
with this camera for content creators we
need a camera that is in addition to
what we have well that's what I thought
was going to happen I waited for it to
counter for so long but it's not enough
this is meld enough to help me create
better content normally I go through
hell to create my videos I use Sony
rx100 mark 4 and mark 5 I have fans
attached to it I have power connected to
it I use a level in my cuidar an iPhone
and then I have to synchronize those and
then I have to go and synchronize audio
to the video and then have to cancel the
audio from the camera and just the
decibel levels it takes me forever to
start editing a video this is why I
didn't mind spending $2,000 on the body
$1,000 on the lens and then $500 on the
accessories which they're more on the
way so excuse me if I complain and
honestly after spending all that using
manual focus and trying to spend in my
mark isn't going to make my life easier
oh by the way I was 200 percent sure
that panasonic was going to say we're
going to release an update and focusing
the issue is going to go away I was in
the mindset of yeah guys it's us right
now but hang in there will be good
because I've released a firmware update
and then we're going to be fine but
there's all this in 350 pages of
advanced manuals 330 second page
sometimes it is difficult to focus with
autofocus when
according in 4k motion videos well not
for table okay this phenomenon occurs
when the camera is trying to record with
highly accurate focus at the reduced
autofocus speed it is not a malfunction
well that that really broke me that was
a straw that broke the camel's back and
I needed guidance so I gave in to a
higher power
go ahead the camera say hail I'm
returning to camera hey flip that coin
[Applause]
[Laughter]
the toughest path I think if Panasonic
gh4 had better autofocus a system that
is not contract detection if it had
proper stabilization and charging via
USB
I think these cameras would sell like
hotcakes
everyone would bought one photographers
cinematographers vloggers lemme lemme
try it me me me me me me me me me me me
me me always me me and me me me me and I
think me me me is I think what I think
maybe me is me is me everything to me I
think it's a great blogging camera I
just tasted it let me taste it a little
bit more me me and me only me let's talk
about me everybody look at me look at me
look at me okay great
me I think it is a great vlogging camera
me you everyone would was fun
but when two out of three shots are out
of focus
