Here's a few lion dance videos from a competition I shot last November. Held in Massachusetts inside a Chinese restaurant.
Used the GH5 plus 12-35mm f/2.8 II lens. I do not have that lens anymore. Traded it in for the 12-60mm f/2.8 since I wanted a good lens that has a little bit more reach. I was still within the return period.
Shot it in 4K 60p. The video is directly off the card and so completely untouched and uploaded straight to YouTube. Not fun at all uploading big 4K 60p files.
ISO was set to 3,200. The Aperture was mostly at f/4 to f/4.5. Sometimes a little lower and sometimes a little higher. I was debating if I should choose an ISO of 1600 instead to get cleaner images but I would have had to use something like f/2.8 and I didn't want to see any focus hunting since I decided to shoot it in Auto focus mode. Yes, I was sort of testing the new firmware update with this event to see how the auto focus would handle. Who knows, maybe I should have chosen an ISO of 1600 but too late now. The restaurant lighting was really a pain.
