Shooting Video with the Panasonic GH3


By Justin Dise | 1 year ago

ince the release of their mirrorless G-Series in 2008, Panasonic has offered
cameras that are true multimedia tools with a strong emphasis placed on video
features. The Lumix DMC-GH2, in particular, developed a cult following in the
video and HDSLR communities. The compact size, articulating screen, and
unlimited clip length set the camera apart from many of its competitors. Add to
that high-quality HD video and versatile lens support and you can see why the camera was
a hit. With the introduction of the Lumix DMC-GH3
(http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/892456-

, Panasonic
builds on the reputation of the GH2 and offers several improved features for professional
video use. The GH3 can record full HD 1920 x 1080 video at multiple frame rates, up to 60
frames per second, and offers improved color depth, dynamic range, and a 72Mbps ALLINTRA codec. When used with an ever-increasing line of lenses and accessories, the GH3

INTRA codec. When used with an ever-increasing line of lenses and accessories, the GH3
makes a great choice for video shooters this holiday season.

(http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/892456REG/Panasonic_Lumix_DMC_GH3_Mirrorless_Digital.html?node14711revisions143901view)

It should be said that the Panasonic GH3 is not really an HDSLR. It is a mirrorless camera,
meaning that it doesnt use a mirror-and-prism system to allow users to view through the
lens like digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) cameras do. Instead, Panasonic coined the term
Digital Single Lens Mirrorless, or DSLM. Throughout this article, the term "HDSLR" will be
used loosely to include the GH3 and other compact, interchangeable-lens cameras capable
of capturing HD video. Now, lets take a closer look at the Panasonic GH3.
Featuring a 16.05-megapixel Live MOS sensor with a newly designed low-pass filter and 4CPU Venus Engine, the Panasonic GH3 delivers excellent image quality for both still photos
and videos. But the GH3 truly shines as a video camera. When you hold it, youll

and videos. But the GH3 truly shines as a video camera. When you hold it, youll
immediately notice the improved build quality the GH3 has over its predecessor. The
plastic frame of the GH2 has been replaced by one built of magnesium alloya first for a
Panasonic G-Series camera. The die-cast, magnesium-alloy frame keeps the camera
lightweight, but adds durability. The camera is also splash proof and dust proof, making it
suitable for run-and-gun shooting in the field. Shooters tend to appreciate the small
dimensions of the GH series, allowing these cameras to be used in situations where larger
video cameras wouldnt be practical or even possible. The GH3 enables you to travel
lighter and have more room in your camera bag for lenses and other accessories.
The GH3 offers a set of features typically
found only on professional video cameras.
Most notably, the camera gives you
flexibility in terms of frame rates, data
rates, and formats. Depending on your
needs, the camera can record full HD
1920 x 1080 video at 24p, 30p, or 60p.
For the highest-quality recording, an ALLIntra codec is available at 24p and 30p,
allowing you to capture video at an
impressive 72Mbps. The All-Intra codec is
better for editing as it has less
compression and retains more data. This
means that your footage will hold up
better during post-production processes such as color-grading. For even more versatility in
regard to editing and video output, the GH3 also gives you the option to record in the MOV
(H.264) and AVCHD formats, or the Internet-friendly MP4 format. Both the MOV and
AVCHD formats support the use of time codes for multi-camera setups.
A feature that shooters, especially event videographers, really appreciate is the cameras
continuous-recording ability. Many HDSLR cameras have time or file-size limits when
recording video. Now this may not be a problem for narrative video work, where shot
lengths tend to be shorter, but for live-event recording, longer-duration shots are needed.
The GH3 will create multiple seamless files, enabling you to set the camera on a tripod, hit
Record, and not have to worry about missing any of the action. Use the Battery Grip for
the Lumix DMC-GH3 (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/906999REG/Panasonic_dmw_bggh3_Battery_Grip_For_GH3.html?node14711revisions143901view) for extended
battery life to take advantage of the seamless file-generation feature.

battery life to take advantage of the seamless file-generation feature.


The GH3 also features a new OLED electronic viewfinder and 3.0 OLED touchscreen
monitor, both providing 100% frame coverage. Like the GH2, the monitor has an
articulating design, allowing it to be swung out from the body and tilted up and down for
more comfortable shooting from low and high perspectives. Autofocus performance has
also been improved. It is fast, silent, and adds face detection and automatic tracking of
moving subjects when used with compatible Micro Four Thirds lenses. In manual focus
mode, the touchscreen serves as a focus assist, letting you zoom in anywhere on the
screen with 4x, 5x, or 10x magnification.
Lenses

The mirrorless Micro Four Thirds lens mount is really coming of age, with many high-quality
lenses available. For shooters who like zoom lenses, the Panasonic Lumix G X Vario 1235mm f/2.8 (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/865111REG/Panasonic_H_HS12035_Lumix_G_X_Vario.html?node14711revisions143901view) and 35-100mm
f/2.8 (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/892457REG/Panasonic_h_hs35100_35_100mm_f_2_8_Lumix_G.html) lenses are great options. Both lenses
feature constant f/2.8 maximum apertures throughout the zoom range, Power O.I.S.
image stabilization, and match the GH3s splash and dust-proof design. When ultraportability is required, the Panasonic Lumix G 14mm f/2.5
(http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/736393-REG/Panasonic_H_H014_Lumix_G_14mm_F2_5.html?

and Lumix G 20mm f/1.7 II

(http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/986097-

lenses
feature fast apertures and good optical performance in a compact, pancake-style
construction. Another popular and high-quality lens offered by Panasonic is their Leica DG
Summilux 25mm f/1.4 (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/768816REG/Panasonic_H_X025_Leica_DG_Summilux_25.html) , which provides an angle of view similar to
that of a 50mm on full-frame cameras, making it a "normal" focal length lens with superb
image quality and a fast f/1.4 aperture for good low-light performance and pleasing,
shallow depth of field.

particular, is very sharp and makes a great portrait-length lens on the GH3. For shooters
who seek the super-shallow depth of field and low-light performance of full-frame
cameras, they need look no further than the Voigtlander Nokton lenses. The lenses are
available in 17.5mm (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/855215REG/Voigtlander_BA175M_Nokton_17_5mm_f_0_95_Lens.html?node14711revisions143901view) , 25mm

mount is
versatile,
thanks to its short flange distance, allowing adapters to be used to accommodate a wide
range of lens mounts including cinema PL, Leica M and R, Canon EF, and Nikon Fto name
just a few. This allows you to use your existing lenses, professional-quality cinema lenses,
or even older manual focus prime lenses (e.g., Canon FD, Nikon Ai-S) with the GH3. The
B&H Used Department (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/buy/SLR-InterchangeableLenses/ci/10209/N/4036297804?node14711revisions143901view) is a great place to find quality used
interchangeable lenses.
The Micro Four Thirds lens mount does feature a 2x crop factor, so when adapting lenses
designed for APS-C or full-frame sensors, you wont be using the entire image circle of the
lens. For shooters who wish to recover some of the angle of view of these lenses, the
Metabones Speed Booster adapters for Micro Four Thirds mount cameras
(http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/buy/Metabones/Ntt/speed+booster+mft/N/0) use specially designed
optics to shrink the image circle down to better fit MFT-sized sensors. When used, the
angle of view is increased by 0.71x. This effectively gives the GH3 an angle of view similar
to that of Super 35mm sensor-sized cameras. The speed booster adapters also have the
added benefit of increasing the brightness of the image by one stop. Speed Booster
adapters are available for Nikon G, Contax Yashica, and Leica R mount lenses.
Audio Options

An area in which many HDSLR and compact mirrorless cameras fall short is audio features.
The GH3, however, provides manual audio controls, onscreen audio levels, and a
headphone jack for monitoring sound. A 3.5mm microphone input jack is available on the
GH3 for synchronous sound recording with a variety of microphones. An on-camera
compact shotgun microphone is a good option when filming run-and-gun style, or
documentary style. The supercardioid pickup pattern captures clear audio in the direction
in which the microphone is pointing while minimizing pickup from the side and rear.

integrated shockmount and windscreen. It also features a three-way level control that
offers -10dB, 0dB, and +20dB modes for fine-tuning microphone sensitivity. It features a
high pass filter as well which, when activated, helps to minimize the pickup of lowfrequency hum and other camera noises. It easily attaches to the GH3s shoe mount and
operates using a single 9V battery. Other options include Panasonics DMW-MS2 Stereo
Shotgun Microphone (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/907000REG/Panasonic_dmw_ms2_External_Stereo_Mic_For.html?node14711revisions143901view) , designed

The Shure VP83F
LensHopper

(http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/966010-REG/shure_vp83f_condenser_shotgun_mic.html?

is a compact shotgun microphone with an integrated flash


recorder. Like the RDE VideoMic Pro, it attaches to the GH3 via its shoe mount, but it can
record higher-quality audio than the GH3 is capable of internally. The VP83F records 24bit/48kHz WAV audio files to MicroSDHC cards, and supports card sizes up to 32GB. It
features an integrated shockmount, a 60dB gain range that is adjustable in 1dB increments,
and a low-cut filter. Its backlit LCD screen on the back of the microphone makes it easy to
adjust settings and monitor audio levels. It also features two 3.5mm mini jacks, one for
sending audio to your camera as a backup, and one for headphone monitoring. Because
youre recording sound to a separate device, you will have to sync the audio with the video
from your GH3 during post production. This process can be done manually or with the
assistance of software such as PluralEyes (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?

While on-camera microphones are great for run-and-gun style shooting, most HDSLR
shooters know that a separate audio recorder is a must for getting the best-quality sound.
Dedicated portable audio recorders have better preamps and converters than the GH3
and record high-quality audio files. Obtaining good sound also often means getting your
microphone as close to your subject as possible, and when the mic is mounted to your
camera, this isnt always possible. Mounting the mic on a boompole allows you to get as
close to the edge of frame as possible and, with a separate audio recorder, the camera is
free to move without mic cables interfering with the camera movement.

Rigs and Support

Support rigs are very important for obtaining


smooth, shake-free footage with smaller cameras
such as the GH3. The lightweight, handheld nature
of the DSLR-sized cameras makes camera shake
inevitable. Zacuto offers highly customizable,
modular-based rigs that introduce additional
points of contact with the camera, helping to
reduce these effects and providing you with a
more stable, comfortable style of operation.

more stable, comfortable style of operation.


Choose from a wide variety of handgrips, rail
systems, and shoulder-mount assemblies to build
the rig that is right for you.
For run-and-gun shooting, Zacutos Enforcer

stability to your shots and a Gorilla Plate V2 (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/970692REG/zacuto_z_gh3_fk_gh3_z_finder_frame_kit.html?node14711revisions143901view) attaches to your
camera for a quick-release connection. The Marauder adds an articulating handgrip for
waist-level support. For modular versions of the rigs, the Target Shooter

Another good way to add stability is to attach an optical viewfinder to the GH3s OLED
screen. When placed against your eye, the viewfinder adds an additional point of contact
for increased stability. The Zacuto GH3 Z-Finder Pro Optical Viewfinder
(http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/970691-REG/zacuto_z_find_gh3_gh3_z_finder_pro.html?

There are still a few reasons the GH3 is still not superior to the GH2.
Yes, it giveth with a better body, but then it taketh away:
1) UNLIKE THE GH2, IT HAS NOT YET BEEN HACKED... the 72 Mbps allintra video mode sounds nice at first, but it is significantly bit starved
for an all-intra MPEG-4 codec setting. The only usable mode in terms of
relative compression quality is its 50 Mbps, long-GOP MOV mode. A
hack would better balance all-intra video with a much higher bitrate to
compensate. If it cannot be hacked, it's time to skip the GH3 and look
elsewhere, or hope Panasonic learns its lesson with the next GH model.
2) Noticeable moire and aliasing patterning due to inferior pixel binning
(many believe the sensor was outsourced to Sony or other brand and is
not an in-house multi-aspect design like the GH2). This is another big
knock against Panasonic: they knew the GH2 was popular in the DSLR
shooter market, but instead of improving upon the strengths of its
multi-aspect chip (like with much better high ISO settings, lower sensor
noise, and greater low light performance), chose to save a buck and
therefore some superior aspects of the GH2's sensor (little to none of
these artifacts show up except under extreme conditions, which you
cannot say for the Canon 5D line) were left on the cutting room floor.
3) The crop factor has increased over the GH2 due to using a different

3) The crop factor has increased over the GH2 due to using a different
sized chip.
4) The new OLED flip screen seems to have a whole new set of
visibility issues, especially shooting outdoors. Some say its fine, others
are having issues... a quality control problem??
5) And this last part is a tremendous negative of all consumer and prosumer video devices to this day... it still only captures video in nasty 8
bit, 4:2:0.

I test about of high-resolution images with minimum noise. And the


new Venus Engine attains high-speed, high-quality signal processing.
These features combine to maximise shooting fun and operating ease.
Another prominent feature of the Lumix GH3 is a tough body that is
rugged enough to stand up to even professional use.

I am very keen on the Panasonic DMC-GH3.


I am principally a videoer and interested on your recommendation for
a lens. The one I had identified was a Lumix G Vario 14-140mm. I do
take landscape pans on holiday and use zooming.
Looking forward to your comments
Regards Graeme Boyd
