Title: Advice on GH4 setting for stock footage
Post by: mano76 on November 07, 2016, 08:00
Hello,
I own a GH4 camera for my works,
usually i set the camera on natural or cinelike D but for some stock footage which picture setting do you suggest? ( I prefer to have the best setup in camera and do less postproduction).
Thank you so much.
Regards,
Manuel

Manuel, 
I use the GH4 quite a bit on a wing strut of a 172. Like you I want good results but without spending large amounts of time in post. After trying a many of the settings I've settled on the Standard. It still requires some boost in contrast and color saturation but not so much that it takes up a lot of time. My camera is always in manual mode.

Hey Manuel, I would recommend Cinelike D.  That's what I used before spending the $100 for the Vlog L upgrade.  Cinelike D is flatter than Standard and might require a few seconds more in post but will get better results.  To get the best out of the camera pay the $100 to use Vlog L which will give you 2 extra stops of dynamic range (but will require more time in post).  Hope this helps!
