Re: GH4 video judder/strobing - a solution

I do not own a GH4 but rather a GH5 but I do video professionally.  Panning and slower frame rates is a no-go.  Nothing wrong with the camera.  Panning from a fixed position in 24p and to some extent in 30p will always produce judder.

How do you solve the issue?  You have to learn how to film using slower frame rates.  This is the art of cinema.  Watch movies and notice how they move the camera.  If the camera is panning, it will most likely be rotating as well.  Practice using 24p and getting good footage.

It is kind of like using prime lenses instead of zooms.  A different approach.  Or, if you want to pan like live sports coverage then shoot in 50p/60p.
