Don't let lack of IBIS push you away from XM5

Handheld, run and gun clip from the airport - Recipe: Last Summer Roll

I set all 4 custom profiles to image mode and set 4 of my fav recipes. If i want b-roll video, i hit the video record button as is - to get 4k 30p 4:2:2 video with the custom recipe & exposure settings intact. Making a habit of getting some b-roll along with the photo I clicked.

Settings:

Boost Mode On DIS On, DIS Boost on (I know they say don't pan, use only for still footage - but if you do slow pan the results are fantastic with DIS boost) Plan for the crop (walk back to reframe before taking video)

Surprisingly not an odd combo

I tried the sigma 17-40 f1.8 on the XM5. I thought it was going to be imbalanced. But it was surprisingly easy to hold and handle in the hand. The smallrig grip helps a lot and the lens itself is lighter than my Viltrox 27mm f1.2 pro.
