Yes 720p and slowed to 25p from 50p in cinema tools.

Thanks so much! I am proud of this little clip! I am using the Canon 1.8 lens and manually focusing as a result. Most of the settings are just exposure compensation either up or down. I cannot really adjust aperture with this lens on this camera. I am new to the GH1 and to photo cameras so I am just doing my best and playing with the settings.

Thanks so much, I appreciate it!

Hope you make the best decision for you. The Canon has advantages of course but costs alot more and is bigger and heavier etc. Also shoots in 30p which is a bit of a pain! Good luck!

Thanks for the kind words, I am new to DSLR cameras and as I am using a Canon 50mm f1.8 Mk2 this disables most of the cameras auto controls. I have used the creative close up setting alot on this film and the manual focus on the lens and only used control over exposure compensation on the camera. I did use an ND4 filter on alot of the shots.

Thanks.

Thankyou.

Thanks so much.

Thankyou, actually I know alot of the people in the film so getting close was not too hard but also remember that when you put a 50mm lens on the GH1 you get x2 images as the sensor is about half the size of full frame....so a 50mm lens acts as a 100mm lens...meaning you can be further away.

Thanks!

Thanks very much...the GH1 is great.

What do you think!!!!! Yes Philip Bloom is to blame for me buying the GH1 and starting this whole video thing!! 2 months ago I had no idea who he was and no idea what a DSLR was!! All I can say is that Philip Bloom is an inspiration and the GH1 is incredible.

Thanks Jim, just looked at your page..love it!

I am new to all this so I cannot be sure but when you use a Canon lens on the gh1 you cannot adjust aperture it seems... especially as the lens has no aperture ring. I could be wrong of course, it is all guesswork at this stage!

Thanks for that!!!

Thanks David

I only have the Panasonic GH1, it is a great stills camera but I got it mainly for video and that is amazing! I use mainly a cheapish Canon EF lens 50mm 1.8 Mk2 and manual focus which is more attractive than using the lens that comes with the GH1. However the GH1 lens is a great lens but only 4.0 to 5.8.

In Europe PAL is 720 50p...in cinema tools you can slow the clip by changing frame rate to 25p!!

Thankyou Bob, you have some great videos yourself! Remember the 50mm lens will magnify x2 as the GH1 sensor is half 35mm sensor size. Maybe a 35mm would be better!?

Great advice from the master! Thankyou Steve.

i wouldn't listen to much to him Julian. although the fade to the same girl did stick out.

Very nice job and a really great example of GH1 filming.

Wow, thanks for that!

I am using EF not FD lenses and the adapter is from RJ Cameras on e bay, based in China. It is a Canon EF to Micro Four Thirds adapter. There is no adapter that allows the lenses to use all the camera's auto functions. You can of course buy micro four thirds lenses or four thirds lenses with an adapter and then have all functions available.

That is a personal choice, the mic on the GH1 is good but pro audio must be recorded seperately. You can attach a proper mic to the camera though.

There should be music...try again!!

Thanks Woody, we need more footage from YOU!! To be honest now that I have learned alot more about these dslr cameras...I do think the Canon 7d and 5dmk2 are better in many ways than the gh1. Gh1 is smaller and lighter and very easy to use and has files that are easy to edit on a mac. However the 7d has all the framerate options and a slightly bigger sensor...better low light... and better photos. THe 5d hasa huge sensor and has the best depth of field...really shallow! Although you pay for that with the horrible 30p option in a format hard to edit. It is hard to know!!!! I say wait a bit longer..there will be something new in the coming months I am sure....rumours are of a new canon next year that will have the 7d features with a full frame sensor!!!
