Hallo! Did you get these beautiful colours from Lightroom????
Subd for pretty girls
Actually pretty girls can increase the value of camera and the photographer
Shooting raw, yeah but if you're using Adobe to convert then you're getting a poor conversion because they don't understand the Panasonic "Extended-RAW" CR2 files.
Silkypix is about the only editor that can be assured to convert the CR2 correctly, even then the result will not be the same as the in-camera. Besides which the in-camera firmware has moved on so far that it exceeds the capability of post editors.
Shoot raw+jpeg. Set the camera up to shoot the best jpeg, then if you do need to fix it you can edit it lossless and have the raw for emergency. If the jpeg is rubbish then the raw is too.
I change Exposure mode a lot and have put that on Fn2. Q.Menu I use very little and have shifted that to Fn10. I change the exposure compensation +/-EV a lot even in Auto-ISO and have that on the back wheel in M-Manual Mode. The Photo-Styles are customisable and can be fiddled with to give you a 'film look'.
cho tôi xin file gốc jpg và raw với ạ, cám ơn bạn nhiều
Display is always automatic how do I change that? It's annoying
Just bought the OLY 45/1.8 (barely used in its box, USD160) to compliment my current arsenal of M4/3 lenses (i.e. Lumix 20/1.7, Lumix 12-32 kit, Lumix 12-60 kit, Lumix 45-100, and OLY 75-300 zoom). I also have plenty of adapted vintage lenses, with or without focal reducer, to use from time to time. The IBIS with the GX9 and G81 make pairing with non-OIS lenses, like the OLY's and vintage glass, a joy.
Can't wait to use this 45/1.8 for family portraits, etc.
I'm very curious to see how the photo quality on the GH5 looks next to the G9.
Nice! Thumbs-up from Malaysia ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Andrew, this was fantastic. I use my G9 primarily for video, but this video has given me a great starting point when it comes to the settings. I'm lucky enough to own the Olympus 42.5mm f1.7 that you shoot with.
Your work is always great and that's why I follow this channel.
Oh are you aware of the new firmware upgrade coming to the G9 in June? Version 2.4 is going to adapt the AF technology used in the S5 and GH5ii models.
Personally the shots with the dresses at the amphitheater, however, maybe a tad more light on them here and there. Nice work.
Great results … I myself used Panasonic GH 5 for many years !!!
Why shoot ISO 400 when the shutter is at 1/2500th, makes no sense!
Its a 90mm f3 lens though…
You can get a cheap D5600 and a Sigma 85mm f1.4DG and get drastically better image quality for the same price.
M43's are dumb camera's for photography in terms of pricing to image quality.
lucy is my cup of tea 🙂
So then do you prefer the Oly 45 f/1.8 to the Pana 42.5 f/1.7, or did you happen to buy the 45 f/1.8 a while back and just kept it cause it works well?
Thanks! A very educational video! I ordered the same lens for my new GX9)
Why did you choose the Oly over the Panasonic 42.5 1.7? did you notice a difference in performance?
Intéressant
Real nice photo shoot.
Fantastic images. Content is far more important than sensor size and megapixels.
Super photographe, ainsi que les models.
Good video and stunning photos 🙂 . For me, i prefer the EM1 Mark iii with Zuiko pro lens (25mm F1.2 – 45mm F 1.2 or 75MM F1.8). Much better AF, much better IBIS and a little sharper 🙂
Panasonic and autofocus? Really?
Very nice video. Are there any drawbacks to using the Olympus lens on the G9?
Awesome
Great job as always. Professional models know what poses look interesting.
Glad to see the G9 using continuous auto focus without much of an issue.
when you are photographing two people you are using face detection and both people are in focus?
You took beautiful fotos of our granddaughter Keesha
Great work. Thanks for the video.
