Lava flow at Kilauea volcano Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
Panasonic GH5.
Panasonic Lumix G X Vario 35-100mm f/2.8 II POWER O.I.S. Lens.
Filmed at 200 iso.
Sennheiser MKE 440 Compact Stereo Shotgun Microphone.
This isn’t a technical review. There are plenty of those posted on Youtube. I’m just showing how well the GH5 handled the tricky lava flows that night and morning. The flow area was quite active and heat made me cut many clips short.
I was trying out various focus settings so, there are times I keep the camera filming while changing compositions to show how well the GH5 adjusts.
Often I used the touchscreen to manually change the focus.
It worked great.
Also, the AFC worked great 99% of the time.
There were situations where the intense heat waves proved too much for that setup but, that’s a tough situation for any camera and normally I’d use a different method.
Again, these were test clips.
It was also very windy but, the dual I.OS. handled it just fine.
I posted this in the 4K 60fps because it would be an injustice to render at 1080p. The 4K is spectacular in comparison.
The only editing was a slight increase in both the saturation and contrast. 5% – 10%.
The GH5 can be as simple or complicated as you want it to be. The filming options are endless. Beautiful images too.
Watch full screen and look for the intricate little changes in the flows.
61g lava flow.
Thanks for subscribing and watching. Many more videos to come.
Be patient. What I do isn’t always easy.
My usual warning.
Do not attempt to do what I do.
I have 26 years of experience and I know what I’m doing out there.
So many things can go wrong for those who don’t understand or can’t recognize the dangers of a volcanic eruption.
Stay away and watch my videos instead.
Having said my usual warning, let me add that this flow is accessible via bike and hikes of at least 8-9 miles round trip.
Expect large crowds of people. Be sure to carry at least 3 liters of water per person.
Always use extreme caution at the sea cliffs and never walk out onto new land as it could easily collapse into the ocean taking you with it.
As the bench grows the immediate sea cliff will be vulnerable to collapse also.
I highly recommend you watching this HVNP safety video on safety at ocean entries.
Also, it’s best not to breath if you find yourself engulfed in the steam plume. If you think you will be in it often, be sure to wear a respirator or at the very least cover your mouth and nose with a shirt or similar when breathing.
