Yeah, what a video. You forgot to add those crucial tips such as "dont use camera as a chair", "dont shoot with a lens cap on", "dont forget to press record button". Without those tips people will made so many huge mistakes Caleb... With all respect, you were in hurry to create another video? I thought we should appreticate quality over quantity

Caleb, dude. I really love your videos but this is an absolute horrible clickbait one. These are perhaps 5 ways to 'get more out of your S5 II X' but half of these are just generic random stuff that have nothing to do with this camera. As a Lumix S1 user I already shoot open gate 6K, have customisable buttons, V-Log and BRAW recording. Not using any of these is not a 'mistake'. It's a choice one can make and except for SSD recording ( in the Lumix S-series), none are exclusive to S5 II X. If you find 5 actual mistakes to avoid, please share that with us, but these 5 are really not cutting it. Peace

ps. still admire and love your work, just not digging this particular video

I just got this camera a week ago and don’t know nothing about cameras but with this one I feel pretty good cuz nobody is providing all the tools in one package like this one does

[OCUBOX]

Hey notice many do this. When noting on the footage that you used a Zoom lens, don't forget to add the Actual mm you're on (extra work but more helpful to someone looking to get a similar shot).Just giving the Range of the Lens isn't very helpful. Are you at 70mm for the shot you're showing or 200, etc, which if it's APSC, adds a whole other confusion depending on the sensor's crop factor...

LOL I feel like that train was a cherry on top of the frustration sundae.

I'm an absolute amateur and I was nervous about shooting in V-Log, but I've been experimenting with it and I'm honestly amazed at the flexibility in post-processing. Throw it in Davinci, apply a LUT, do some minor color corrections, and bam...amazing looking pictures/video.

My question is, are there any scenarios where you'd recommend NOT shooting V-Log? I apologize if you've answered this in another video, but I'm still working my way through your catalog!

I have personally loved using the open gate for a square image. It makes me want to use it more. I’m a big fan of square aspect ratio

[sdhute]

When you’re shooting 6k opengate are you just using your back screen? Hard to find a field monitor that accepts 6k

[smokelessfire]

If you get the BM video assist 12g, you can record prores HQ, 422, LT all in open gate without changing to HDMI raw output.

[Zyrk]

Do you add NR when shooting V-Log? I recently noticed that it is available in camera. I usually do it on post but in your experience which is better?

[kihestad]

Very funny video 👍 One of the tips is to use the inbuilt camera tools to improve the video quality - as nailing the exposure. Strangely enough the sky is overexposed and totally blown out in the video 😂 Talk the talk, walk the walk?

[nexx]

Nah nahhh man!!! You be got to go in details with all these points. Super informative in such short vid. Would love to see a longer version of the same video 😅 maybe you do and if you do, throw me a link lol

Great video! I'm about ready to make this purchase, and I love all the tips I'm seeing for video/live streaming. However, I do have one question. How does this camera do with still photos? Most of the hybrid cameras I've seen are lacking something in the video arena, but this one seems to cover all the bases. Other hybrids that are great at video seem to lack in the photo aspect of things. But I really need something that does well for portrait, landscape, and possibly sports/action as well as video. A little insight into the photography capabilities of this camera could seal the deal for me. Thanks!

What is the lens that is on the body at the beginning when you're sitting outside? Is that the Sigma 24-70 2.8 L mount?

[quiteenough]

what about rolling shutter in 6k? I've heard 4k aps-c mode is much better with that in S5II/x

[fernandotabora]

Do you hear the fan noise when shooting with a shotgun mic?

[shortandspikey]

Hi Caleb, l loving the posts, But your not giving any Photo still settings - Video ones are great ! But can we get some Photo ones too ?? pls - I ve been using this camera from S1 then s11 now got S2mkX and Video is amazing but having issues using stills mode ! can you help us pls . I have 20-60 mm lens / 50mm / 85mm / 100-400mm lens but getting issues using the light meters in all stills mode not allowing the best F stops / shutter speeds ! my 50 /85mm are f2.8 so OK but in LOW light even using ISO 1000-5000 plus my shutter speed is not great - Metering tried ALL options ! but seems spot is best at present ! is there any better way to set meter for expo / shutter ?? to get better speed on shutter ? thx

[Sustainavore]

Any idea how I can even get this camera? It's sold out everywhere

[VRKtaka]

[FRANKRICECOLD]
