Ilya Friedman, creator of the HotRod cinema lens mount kits, gives some feedback on shooting with the Panasonic GH1 camera:
- Setting the white balance manually is your friend. Using a WB of 5500K sees to produce the best skin tones (in camera)
- The “Smooth” Gamma mode, seems to offer the most pleasing “film like” images
- Even though the camera rating says 100 ISO, you get the best “to eye” image of of what you’re shooting if you actually rate you light meter at 640 (which I think it close to the native ASA of the camea. To repeate- set camera at ISO 100, and the base exposure of your meter to 640.
