I've never heard anyone else use such a blizzard of words to get their point across. You should be concise and talk slower.
Slow down on you speech. You talk way too fast for me. 😢
Is iResolution what some apps call "structure"?
Found your video 5yrs later, but you absolutely nailed it in your explanation! Thank you so much. Incidentally I also have i.Zoom in my Z200 menu which is probably a little easier to understand, but I can't detect when this is being applied when shooting if I turn it ON.
[Nose touching - Moving AF point? ] Wanna share this with everyone: Having problems with your nose touching the touchscreen when taking photos, and you accidently changes the focus point? Yeah, Ive been there as well. Solution: Go inte the menus, settings (a gear icon with a wrench), then get down to "usage" (not sure of english name), and then "point" or "touch". There you will be able to set an offset, so when touching the nose - nothing will happen. But if you touch with your thumb, its gonna move! =)) I set mine to Offset 2. Give it a go! A bit off topic, but Joseph great tutorials is fantastic, and a good place for me to give you this info as well. Take care! =)
Fujifilm's Dynamic Range enhancers affect RAW.
Hiya, this is quite an old video now but still very relevant & very helpful; big thanks for explaining it so well!

One question please; do all of these 3 i modes affect the RAW files, or are they only applied to jpeg processing?

Many thanks!
I-Dynamic does apply to RAW.
DO YOU HAVE THE I. ISO ON THE S1R ?
Please, please, calm down a little bit!
Character In the video It's great, I like it a lot $$
Hi Joseph! I hope you are reading the comments to your old videos as well :) To explain a bit why I am adding a comment to a 3 years old video now: I´ve recently bought a second-hand Lumix GX8 and am exploring the settings / bumped into these settings. Thanks for explaining them, it is very useful as the manual really does not tell you a lot! I have a question though related to the i.Resolution/ sharpening function. In the Picture Mode settings (standard, vivid, natural, etc), there is an option to adjust contrast, SHARPNESS, noise reduction and saturation of the image that will be taken. Is this adjustment in the picture mode the same as the i.Resolution, or does it apply something completely different? Any idea? Thanks a lot in advance.
@@photojoseph Thanks a lot, Joe. Makes (more) sense now. I guess (as always) trying, testing, using it will make it even clearer, but one needs the basic info to start off. Thanks again!
Totally different. Those are basically fine tuning the JPEG image. If you’re shootings RAW and adjusting in Lightroom or whatever app you’re using, then don’t worry about these. But if you’re shouting RAW+JPEG or just JPEG then those settings will affect the JPEG.
iDynamic makes a huge difference in filming (video) Dynamic Range even in older cameras from Panasonic. I use this settings enabled all the time while filming on my FZ200 - very high latittude and DR
Nice!
How do You access HDR photo mode in GX80/85? Can’t figure out for some reasons. All suggestions much appreciated.
@@NowyKurs oh interesting. It’s been a while since I used that camera. Well there’s your answer then; it doesn’t work when i.Resolution is on!
@@photojoseph no. It has HDR option but it could not be applied/accessed when i.Resolution option in menu it's turn on.
I don’t recall that that camera has it. And it’d be HLG, not HDR. It’s be a color profile. Am I misunderstanding?
Thank you Joe!! I’m going to stop the research here about these confusing settings. Watching your video answered ALL my questions!
Great video, going through the settings on my G90, I had absolutely no idea what these i. settings were, but your video is just explaining them so thank you.
Thanks for keeping this around. I had a weirdly oversharpened jpeg & went to turn down/off sharpening. No menu item. I recalled this & confirmed iRes. was what I wanted. Stupid name, good camera, brilliant & useful video.
Glad it helped, that's awesome!
thank you sir..as a man who's been shooting film since 1975 this was helpful in explaining some of the many many choices in this menu ..i appreciate your time in making this video !!
For gh5, does idynamic when used increases noise level?
Hi Joseph, I use my GH2 for video only, does i dynamic and i resolution work for video too or is it just for stills? , still confused.....
Same question
Thank you,I have a Panasonic LX100 on order,I was looking for a video like this.I have a Nikon D3200 and lenes,I was looking for something smaller and good in low light.
@@photojoseph I've been taking pitcures with it both inside & outside,with flash & with out flash.Great little camera I realy like it.
The LX100 is a really nice little camera, I hope you enjoy it!
Anyone know what soundtrack he used in the intro? I love it
@@photojoseph bugger, thanks anyway!
I've had it so long I don't even remember where it came from, sorry
Great explanations. I always wondered what they would do. Time to go play. Thanks
Glad you found the video!
Basically a t a v mode like on pentax . My personal experience is that it does not work half as good as the Pentax and Ricoh ones
Very helpful thank you.
you're welcome!
Top Drawer, wish I'd watched this sooner. Thanks.
Thanks!
Hi Joseph thanks for the great info you address.
I do video deposition, my question to you is on the G9 how do I remove the black background behind the date time stamp
I’ve never used that feature but if there isn’t an option to do it in the menu then I’m sure you can’t.
You talk far too fast!
Or, you listen too slow? 😂😂 Kidding sorry, couldn’t resist. I do talk fast, but the playback speed feature works really well on YouTube too. Give it a shot! And thanks for watching.
No reason NOT to shoot RAW + JPEG.
Well there's a reason I want to be able to process on a mobile device as quickly as possible I don't want to sit behind a computer for four hours
The raw effect is not curious at all it will apply slightly just like when importing into lightroom RAW photos also are changed slightly for various reasons
Id like to see better examples than the cloud photo for idynamic- dynamic range is a huge criticism of MFT sensors and Id like to see if this feature really makes a difference.
Do you have any idea how to turn off the focus assist (red light beam) in the iAuto mode?

Thank you
@@hamadmfd Thank you for the tip.
Thank you for your reply. From the manual I read that focus assist does not work if the camera is set to silent.

I tried and it worked
It may not be disable-able in the full auto modes. Find the menu to disable it in regular modes and see if it is available when in iAuto
i.Happy now.
Great video. I do wish you would also talk about the noise created by using these settings.. also, I think you should set the exposure compensation to -2/3 or so and combine it with high i.dynamic.
Also, I would like to know if the normal auto ISO prefers lower values over the i.iso when shooting static scenes..
Thanks !
Great explanation of these functions, greatly appreciated Joseph. I am a relatively new G9 user (switched from Nikon D7000) and there so many great features, I am really enjoying my G9
Awesome thanks! And welcome to the LUMIX family.
I have troubles with flickering with my GH5 when taking Timelapses which didn't happen before and just started on every shot I'm taking now. U guys think a contrast flickering could occur because of i.Resolution set to auto? Or does anyone has a hint for me what else could cause it? (Shooting in manual mode only)
I found my G9 to be too noisy at iso 800 and of course in higher iso. Panasonic claims that we can go up to 3200 without too much grain. Any advise .
Joseph, LOVE your channel and content! Great stuff here, on one of those topics where some of us didn't understand a setting, therefore didn't use it. Use it now! Thank you, so much! On a separate note, may I offer a small critique... specifically, when you talk you have a tendency to speed through a part of a sentence, then swallow your words, an example of this at 8:11. "It's only going to apply at the ..." I have a great difficulty is understanding you, your cadence is very brisk, and your voice falls off. This sometime requires me to backtrack in the video to catch your words. Your audio gain sounds like it is too dynamic, perhaps. Anyway, if you could slow down a bit, pause between sentences... maybe take a breath.... your content would be nothing short of perfection. Thanks again!
Thanks for the feedback. I know I talk fast, and sometimes go too fast when I feel like the show is going too long. This is a pretty old show; I've adjusted the format a bit since then. Thanks for watching!!
Really good explanations and examples. Thank you!
Jo great Video, pity i missed the India trip hope it went well, if you ever do any in the UK Scotland/Lake district nudge me love to join you... if you need a guide for the UK or some ideas then my brothers rock climbing buddy is the publisher here, very good and concise books https://www.fotovue.com/ and you dont talk too fast i can understand you and im british LOL
Yeah for using any type of kit lens get yourself a prome with wider aperture. And learn how to use some flash properly
Would you please explain the different the various symbols for RAW? there is RAW , two bars & one bar thank you
Thank you PhotoJoseph... Of all the tutorials I've watched since getting the GH5 nobody, not even the manual explains the Bars... Much appreciated... Now I know... )
Bars? Do you mean the squares? Squares are JPEG; fewer squares is lower resolution. RAW and squares means RAW+JPEG
Hi Jo, thank you for this video. I have a G85 and I use specifically i.Dynamic in Video recording mode always! This is the biggest difference you can see. Shoot the video with off using ISO 200 and then switch i.Dynamic to HIGH and use the same ISO you are blown away by the light gathering.
It's really helpful when you do vlogs outside and when you are capturing animals in harsh light situations with a high dynamic range. I have no experience with the other settings but I will try them for video. I'm not in Stills that much...but your video is great. Thank you and stay blessed
Awesome, thanks for sharing that. That's the cool thing about these features… there are often many ways and reasons to use them!
Where did you get your "square" lens hood for your Lumix gx80/85 please😊, I can only find the circle ones!
You bought the 25mm Leica f/1.4 and it didn't come with the square hood?
@@photojoseph Darn it, I purchased mine from UK Jessops and I only got the camera & lens & strap! No lens hood😭! I'm searching the internet & I can't find one anywhere! HELP PLEASE✌✌✌
That must be the 25mm lens. It's what it comes with; not a special order
You need some lights given those high ISOs in a studio.
Uh, this was done lower light to show the feature…
He makes Michael Keaton facial expressions
Buster Keaton
Haha thanks
@@photojoseph Its a likeable quality.
🤨
Job well done, I was never sure what they actually did.
^great video and super important subject. However, think about: there are people around the world for which English is not a no.1 Language. So please speak with normal speed and make a break between the sentences. Sure, you will get more subscribers around the world. good luck
I vote for iDynamic with RAWs.. it's definitely preserving the highs and giving more meaningful content (good if you framed the shot well, bad if you only care about the plant)
Just bought my first lumix camera, gx 85. I have a question, is i.ISO will ignore iso limit setup ?
@@rjkral Yeah... but no reply, so I guess we have to test... Didn't yet, just got the zs200.
Mark Salendu good question!!
