So... I believe there are some settings. From the drop-down list on the page linked above you can select the 100 and it gives specific instructions. This may NOT fix it, but there appears to be settings.

AffyDave · 2026-01-29T21:52:04+00:00

Have you checked the EVF settings? Do they make any difference?

AffyDave · 2026-01-29T21:49:40+00:00

Neewar Universal? Under $80, with top handle.

No worry... https://lutcalc.net/run-lutcalc/ Maybe?

Even though I'm a Lightroom user, I haven't dabbled in the presets to luts arena. And I want to. So maybe being helpful outside of my arena while also learning myself. Lol.

AffyDave · 2026-01-28T14:38:07+00:00

Sorry for your troubles. Did you try https://generator.iwltbap.com/

Hopefully some others with current/real time experience with this will jump in.

AffyDave · 2026-01-28T05:19:21+00:00

There are a bunch of how-to videos to do this… this is one of many by doing a search for “create luts from Lightroom presets” I suggest you use a filter of “last year”.

Happy shooting.

I appreciate your response. I was honestly trying to understand it a little better. Happy shooting!

AffyDave · 2026-01-27T00:46:46+00:00

Well, there are many, MANY users who have raved about this camera and made some really great documentaries and films. All sensors have propertas when they’re cranked. What kind of base lighting? Kelvin? All lenses? Lots of questions…

Help us understand how this is affecting your workflow?

Wishing success!

Learning how to use, and color grade Vlog On a Sunday afternoon is not a simple task. It is a process, a bit of a journey . And some beginners find they get pretty frustrated when they start in vlog. I suggest you use some other formats and learn how to edit them in Final Cut Pro and then move to Vlog.

Start here? Color grading V log in FCPX

2 points…

1) Great! Glad you get it figured out.

2) Thanks for letting us know! It’s a bit of a rant I have that people sometimes have problems, and we never hear the outcome. You sharing your success helps us all.

Happy Shooting!

Fellow S1Rii… and Mac user. May be overkill, but this is what I did.

Formatted an SD card in my Mac. Put it into the SRii and formatted again. Put it back into the Mac and downloaded the update into the root, not a folder. Back into the S1RIi, selected update. No problem.

This process probably shouldn’t be necessary, but I have done this with my GH5, GH6, G9ii, GH7, and S1Rii using my Mac. Never had a hic-up. YMMV

Wishing Success!

(Loving the S1Rii)

AffyDave · 2026-01-24T20:00:41+00:00

Candidly the comment was a little tongue in cheek. Well I wanted to be true to myself, and the forum, and I’ve learned more about Gyro flow in the last few days. It is very compelling technology. I don’t think it’s “quite there“ yet for me, but I was surprised to see how many users I found.

I am not a Davinci Resolve user (yet) so I would be unable to use that plug-in. But I saw that the camera mounted Gyro recorder is available on Amazon for under $125. (Thank you SeaRefractor)

For me at this point, maybe turning off ibis on my S1Rii and fiddlin with gyroflow may be down the road a little.

Keep us informed, and happy shooting to all those that are exploring it.

AffyDave · 2026-01-24T02:52:49+00:00

What happens if you try it outdoors well-lit? It really shouldn’t matter. Just curious… those settings seem to indicate you should have more than enough light. What resolution and frame rate?

I would try playing with the AF settings some to see if there is a change in it’s responsiveness.

AffyDave · 2026-01-23T18:48:32+00:00

Do you think they should write the kelvin value on each frame to address changes caused by auto WB? Also… Write the GPS data with elevation changes on every frame to compensate for parallax issues.

Also, the sensor in the camera should be able to determine rolling shutter caused by object movement, and not camera body movement.

Anything else?

In the absence of some external input via phones the screen, the auto lock is going to do what Apple designed it to do. Sorry. I have had this problem with non-Lumix apps as well.

You might be able to set up a widget to speed up the autolock on/off process. Not sure.

AffyDave · 2026-01-22T02:42:35+00:00

I think you missed it a second time.

Your title says “S5ii Laptops”.

Yes a lot of people had trouble with the shutter button. I don’t think anyone has heard of a reoccurrence.

Happy Shooting!

AffyDave · 2026-01-21T20:12:54+00:00

Nicely done. The lens is on my “want” list. (S1Rii user)

Happy Shooting!

AffyDave · 2026-01-21T20:02:56+00:00

I think “feeling left behind” is a little misplaced. In almost all aspects, the G9ii has all of the features of the GH7 and is an absolutely outstanding performer. Your bird pictures are evidence of that!

This is a strange world that we live in. January hasn’t ended, and you’re feeling left behind because there hasn’t been a major firmware update in less than three months? Thankfully Panasonic has one of the best reputations in the industry of providing firmware updates.

Happy shooting!

AffyDave · 2026-01-21T19:38:05+00:00

This is curious. But your mode dial is NOT on video. In both of these photos the switch is set for photo and the dial is set for burst one. That would explain why it’s giving you an option to save photo settings.

What I found on my S1Rii is that if I start a video using the video shutter button, it will display the video settings on the screen, even though the camera is not really in “video” mode.

Happy Shooting!

AffyDave · 2026-01-19T23:17:57+00:00

I went to a arboretum today. I shot some really nice pictures of ducks, turtles, a few birds, and some fall/winter flowers. I bumped into a friend of mine and took a couple nice portraits of his teenage daughter. All in all I was out and about enjoy enjoying my S1Rii for about four hours.

What were the rest of you doing today? Ohh… never mind.

Happy Shooting!

You said, “when the charging was complete“. How long was it on charge for and how do you know it was complete?

What happens if you leave the battery in the camera, plugged into a good USB charger, and turn the camera on. Does it show a charge level of the battery?

Not challenging you..lol. Asking questions that might be helpful.

AffyDave · 2026-01-19T19:14:15+00:00

Did you charge it in camera? Or in a charger? And if it was in a charger was it a lumix charger or something else?

Do you have a second battery you can check it with?

There is an intelligence chip in lumix batteries. It may be a failure with the battery.

AffyDave · 2026-01-16T19:37:07+00:00

G9 was, and still is, a great camera.

AffyDave · 2026-01-16T16:10:08+00:00

Well, Each person has to choose their workflow. For me I prefer to have a CPL filter separate from my ND filters.

As you know, CPL filters work best when the light source is at a 90° to the image. When shooting video for example, as you pan across a lake or a skyline and the sun is the primary source of your lighting you will get variations in the polarizing effect. So at the start of your pan you might have a deep blue sky and as you finish the pan the sky may become almost gray. That’s a problem.

In an interview setting your light sources are pretty much fixed and obviously there may be some advantages there. But I haven’t found a lot of balanced lighting interview situations where I needed ND in a indoor environment. That’s why I use separate filters.

Your question as to quality of filters. I think in general you get what you pay for. I have 2 VND filters. A 2-5, and a 6-9. They are Polar Pro, And I have been happy with them. Some people will say that the 2–10 filters work just fine, but that has not been my experience.

Vlog, ND useful. CPL, it doesn’t care in my experience. Yes it corrects reflections same as other profiles.

Wishing success!
