Cool sticker for GH4 owners!

GH4_01

Vincent Follézou created that super cool GH4 sticker. He sent me that text:

I have created a very useful sticker to put on the back of your Panasonic GH4. It will give you a ton of information like the focal length of you lens using a Metabones Speed Booster, flicker free shutter speed or shutter angle, recording time, stops filtration with ND filter and lot more…
Perhaps it could interested some of your reader.
The sticker is available at this address : http://vincentfollezou.com/GH4/sticker_GH4.html

Holger:Here is the very first 4K Photo from a Lumix GH4 on FlickR Explore: https://flic.kr/p/wo3Dr3. I think that demonstrate how good the 4K Photo Modus already is helps to encourage more people to use it. Hopefully we will see more phantastic photos from the new Lumix 4K cameras.

Valentino:The clip below was entirely shot with the E-M5 MK2 and the zuiko 25mm f1.8. Arrangement is done in fcpx with no further processing. Mostly shot handheld and and with autofocus, sometimes on a monopod. Everything done with the available light on our location. It shows the behind the scenes in a professional accessory fashion shooting in Bangkok. I think it should give you a very good overview of the OMD E-M5 mk2 capabilities. We are generally happy with it for this purpose. Have fun watching and please subscribe if you like! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqe5jHyJNLU. If you have questions feel free to leave them in the comments.

Anonymous:There is quit a nice Deal for the Olympus M.Zuiko 45mm f1.8 at Amazon UK. The great thing is, you can combine that with the Sommer-Special cashback from Olympus: http://olympus-summer-special.sales-promotions.com/. So you will get the 45mm for £119!

Patent shows Panasonic innovative “Micro Color Splitters” Sensor.

Bildschirmfoto 2015-05-03 um 12.28.33
As you know Sigma’s Foveon tech uses three vertically aligned layers to capture the full RGB color info on every pixel. But so far the tech has many drawbacks (like noise ISO at medium and high ISO).

But Panasonic proposes a new kind of tech that promises to solve those issues. The three RGB layers are aligned differently. One in “normal” horizontal position and two are aligned vertically on the side of each pixel area. A so-called “Color separation filter array” splits the RGB light and sends it in different direction. Panasonic says that there is almost no loss of information when the light passes through the horizontal layer to get to the two vertical layers.

The patent is a detailed description of the “Micro Color Splitters” Sensor we saw two years ago:

The new technique allows to “approximately double the color sensitivity in comparison with conventional sensors that use color filters.“. The trick to achieve that is the complete removal of the color filters that “usually block 50 – 70% of the incoming light before it even reaches the sensor“. Full description of the tech can be read here: http://panasonic.co.jp/corp/news/official.data/data.dir/2013/02/en130204-6/en130204-6.html
