![]() His key light is a Wescott Ice Light.įinally, following Giulio’s recommendation, the Color profile is set to Standard with everything zeroed out except for Noise Reduction, which is set to its lowest possible settings for both cameras. Hybrid Photographer extraordinaire and owner of. So to test the low light capability of the GH4, I took a series of quick images of Giulio Sciorio, Mr. I didn’t really get much chance to shoot outside as I would like, so I will save that section for the next time we get the GH4, but I did get a chance to do a low light, high ISO comparison test of GH4 versus the GH3.Īt the time of this article, Adobe has not released a new version of Adobe Camera RAW that can read the GH4 RAW files, so we will be comparing jpeg to jpeg here. We will talk about this lens more in-depth in another article, however, so stay tuned. With its sturdy metal body, I have to say that the Pana-Leica 42.5mm has a slightly superior build quality to my favorite micro 4/3 lens, the Olympus 75mm f/1.8. The aperture ring has a nice, positive click and the focusing ring is dampened well enough. ![]() It is simply marvelous to shoot with and feels just as well to hold and operate. I did get a chance to shoot with the Panasonic-Leica 42.5mm f/1.2 Nocticron (full frame equivalent 85mm) and let me tell you, this lens is a beauty. First Impression of the Panasonic-Leica 42.5mm f/1.2 Thankfully, Panasonic has finally included focus peaking to the GH-line, which is sorely missing in the GH3. Panasonic also added a higher resolution OLED LCD screen that not only makes your images and videos look better, but will help you achieve focus much easier and much quicker. Oh and on top of that, the eye cup is a bit larger and feels much more comfortable. It is pretty much in line with the Olympus E-M1 and the Sony A7R. Anyone who has been using the GH3 are familiar with the smearing issues of its EVF and luckily, Panasonic has installed a new 2.36M (1024×768 resolution) EVF that is not only smear-free, but also refreshes much faster so you won’t have to worry about tearing or stuttering issues. The two biggest external improvements with the Panasonic GH4 over the GH3 are the electronic viewfinder (EVF) and the LCD screen. In my opinion, it is worth the trade off in larger size compared to other Micro 4/3 cameras. If anything, I would love to have a couple of custom buttons in the front by the lens like the Olympus E-M1 or the Nikon DSLRs, but by in large, ergonomic is a strong point with this camera. At least the directional pad can be assigned for Direct Focus, so you can quickly change focus points. The only thing that I wish I can do is use the scroll ring of the lower thumb wheel to control ISO. ![]() There are a total of 5 physical custom buttons and 6 touchscreen custom buttons, as well as a customizable Quick Menu, so most functions are only 1 or 2 clicks away. You can even use the GH3 battery grip with the GH4 since the pins on the bottom are backwards-compatible.įor the most part, this is a really good thing, since Panasonic did a great job with the dial and button placements. Other than the GH4 badge, the Panasonic GH4 uses the exact same body and button configuration as the GH3. We will cover the video more extensively when we get a review unit for an extended period of time, but in the meantime, here are some takeaways.
