Karsten: “we produced a new theatre trailer using Olympus E-M1 Mark II. Despite of the rumor that Olympus cams do a lot but no movies we are very glad about the results. If you don’t want colour grading or massive changings in the look you get very nice results out of cam.

Settings:
– Cinema 4K
– manual mode
– 1/48 and 24 fps
– vivid, contrast -2, sharpness -2

Lenses:
– Panasonic 12-35 mm f2.8
– Olympus 50 mm f2.0

Chermicum: “MFT sensor has an advantage over FF due to larger DoF. This quite extreme macro video was shot with Panasonic GH5 camera and Olympus 60mm macro objective:

It would have been impossible with larger sensors due to too small DoF.”
