A nice pleasing picture.

Questions:

1. What was your 'film' settings: contrast, saturation, brightness, noise reduction, sharpness?

2. What was your iExposure setting?

3. What were the ISO and aperture settings? The shot was done outdoors. Was the iso set to 50 and the aperture stopped down?

Thanks,

David

I could not find any shooting data with clip. It may not be recorded in video mode. I used program AE mode of creative video mode, not intelligent Auto mode. Film setting was standard and the others was as initial.

I found later I forgot to switch OIS (Optical Image Stabilizer?) off while using tripod, that may cause not very smooth panning and slight image fluctuation at high magnification shots.

It was the day after the day I got this toy.

On the ocean, the specular highlights were muted. In some of the frames the more distant detail, such as the mast stays on the sailboats, were very faint indicating low contrast/MTF. in several of the frames the blacks appear to be crushed; that appears to occur in many GH1 clips.

It would be nice to determine if altering the camera settings can rectify that. iExposurewould affect crushed blacks. The noise reduction setting and the sharpness setting may impact the level of detail. The sharpness setting may also impact the specular highlights.

Thank you for posting,

P.S.
Corrected a wrong word...

After using GH1 for three weeks, I found the following mistake for this clip I shot the day after the day I got.

1)Optical stabilizer of the kit lens should be off for the tripod shooting
2)Panning should be slower in the 1080/24p mode
3)ND filter should be used to control EV for shot with Canon FD lens in case of full open aperture.
