<p>I've been passionate about photography for many years. I've pretty much taught myself, but I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good book that will teach me how to really bring my photographs to life using photoshop?</p>

<p>I just updated the firmware in my Gh4 to Version 2.1. It now has a "4K Photo Mode" in the settings, but when I go to turn it on, it says that it will change the overall setting for video, and then a "Yes" or "No" option. I found this page that gives a rundown of what it does, but I'm still a little confused.<br> http://www2.panasonic.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prModelDetail?storeId=11301&itemId=711011<br> I know when I turned the setting on, it grayed out the menu option to change the recording format.<br> Has anyone used it? How does it change the overall video settings? Should I even bother?</p> <p> </p>

<p>Sorry for the late response. I finally realized that it was a matter of me having to get used to a mirror less camera. I was so used to using a DSLR. It's still a little hard for me to tell when things in the distance are in focus, but I turned on focus peaking which helps.</p>

<p>I bought the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH4 with a Metabones Nikon G & F Lens to Micro Four Thirds Mount Speed Booster, and a Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM Lens. When I look through the viewfinder, and I'm focusing manually, it seems to be focused correctly, and even seems to be fine when reviewing the pictures on the camera's screen, but when I upload the pictures to my computer, many of them are soft. Can this be a problem with the lens, speed booster, or camera, or is it something I'm doing wrong? I'm no professional, but photography has been a hobby of mine for many years, and I've never had this problem before. This is also the first time I've ever used a speed booster.</p> <p>Any help or opinions would be much appreciated<br> Thanks</p>

<p>I have a Canon T2i, and I took some photographs of a house for a friend. He requested that the photos have the timestamp on them. Is there an option in a Mac program that will allow me to add the timestap to the photos I send him? I know I can view the date and time in the info screen in iPhoto, but he wants them on the pictures themself.</p>

<p>I've never used a speed booster before, but I read that in order to use a lens like the Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 on the GH4 with the Metabones, you have to enable the camera to shoot without a lens in a manual mode. Also, I assume you're losing image stabilization, so my two questions are, has anyone shot video on the GH4 using a metabones speedbooster without the image stabilization, and how do you have to make changes to the movie mode and stills mode separately?</p>
