Hi Guys,

Just wanted to ask a quick question about the GH4. I'm thinking to buy it for video recording mainly,
just wondering if the GH4 that is sold in singapore has 30 minutes video recording limitation?

I can confirm that there is no limitation because that was my first criteria before purchasing it.

You can record until your SD card is full !

So, go and buy one !

One thing a lot of ppl don't know before they buy.

Although it is unlimited, the files do split the moment they reach 4GB to fit the FAT32 formatting.

So you might end up with 3-4 files if you record really long.

FAT32 is so old already, i wonder why nobody switch to exFAT yet.

I read somewhere that SDXC cards are exFAT by default, and the GH4 also formats them as exFAT, but that the file spanning is likely for backward compatibility with older cards/systems. But yeah, would be good if they had an option.

Not sure about this technical thing.

But I can confirm that I used a SDXC U3 card and record video, all the videos are in one file. Some are bigger than 4GB ...

Not sure about other cards though ...

Hi all sorry to bring up this thread. I'm interested in getting a GH4, any recommendation on where to get for best price? Thanks.

Panasonic GH4K is too light for video shoot I feel. Happier with the solid feel of 5D Mk iii for shooting full HD. Cheers!

Very simple, just press the ISO button and turn either of the control dials towards the left.
You'll see the Auto-ISO option before ISO 200 on the scale.

See: http://www.manualslib.com/manual/696100/Panasonic-Dmc-Gh4.html?page=132#manual

(I wouldn't be able to answer this question if I didn't have a GH4 on loan from Panasonic.. haha)

Thanks kandinsky.

But the Auto ISO does not appear in movie mode for me (although the manual says can).

In Aperture Priority Mode (A), the Auto is there but not in movie mode ...

Can you check again whether the Auto ISO appear in your GH4 in movie mode ?

Is this only my set that is the problem ?

Thanks

It only appears when using Movie Mode with exposure mode set to P, A-priority, S-priority.
Movie Mode in exposure mode set to M (full manual) does not have auto-ISO option.
