Blueprint: Horizontal Drop-Down Menu

Sign up to my newsletter for upcoming video marketing courses: http://videopro.marketing Here is a quick guide on how to set up your Panasonic GH4 (or GH4R) to get better ISO settings for low light. It’s a little hack I found kind of by accident but it gives me more freedom when filming in low light, especially when I have to go above 800 ISO, but when 1600 gives too much noise. I own a GH4 and a GH4R and before I bought it I knew that the low light capabilities were not great compared to other cameras like the Sony A7sII, I checked on forums and different videos explaining how to get the best profile settings to use in low light but I noticed that they didn’t have this feature implemented.I’m often faced with the challenge of having to video in low light conditions such as a church or a dance floor when a wedding band is playing. Having the option to choose 1000 or 1250 ISO, even with a low light lens depending on how dark it is, means I can cut out some of the noise that would come with 1600. The low light footage that I can get looks a lot cleaner when I suddenly might have to bump up the ISO during recording, the increments don’t suddenly jump to a noticeable brighter setting anymore.So here’s a recap of what to do:Switch on your Panasonic Lumix GH4 (or GH4R)Turn the dial to “Photo mode” (I chose “P”)Go to the menu and the top submenu, find where it says “ISO increments”Change from 1 EV to 1/3 EVExit the menu screen and return to “Movie Mode”You will now be able to select different ISO levelsThank you for watching, please subscribe and keep an eye out for more videos from me.
