    @Grimor

    It is in camera, just not in the menus. It is normal practice.

    Its a great info! How can be activated a funtion that originally is not present in the camera? Panasonic put it in the firmware and in last hour they decided not to release it with that funcionallity? Can it be a hope for things like, vlog in G85? Or Vlog un GH5 for free, (like gh4 v2.3 roundabout)

    So, just FYI over on http://www.eoshd.com/comments/topic/24995-would-you-perhaps-be-interested-in-a-different-gx8085-colour-profile/ a chap has figured a way to use the remote control protocol to enable Cinelike-D on this fantastic little camera.

    I've tried it. It works.

    This is huge, at least to me. The new colours on this camera may well have solved the funky colour issue I was getting in rapidly changing lighting conditions (e.g. outdoors, cloudy/sunny day) with Cinelike-D before that made me shoot Prolost-style previously.

    Thoughts?

    Can someone recommend a suitable replacement battery and charger setup for this camera? Or am I better off just buying a genuine Panasonic original battery + charger...

    Need to get a couple of extra batteries but need it to be reliable too.

    TIA

    Never notice the humming in the camera's IBIS (the Olympus IBIS is much more audible, for instance). I hope that they did not decreased the efficiency of the stabilization.

    Anyone knows an external grip for the GX85, besides the JB Design's one (which I think is too bulky, especially in the bottom plate)? Something like the E-M10's ones from Olympus (even without the quick release). A larger grip is much needed when using the camera with bigger manual focus lenses - hard to press the back dial to engage the peaking / focus magnification.

    Thanks. I hear that too, but that hum is something in the traffic. Notice in the next shot taken a few seconds later, still outdoors, there is no hum. Same lens, same settings, just less traffic noises. IBIS noise is not hum, more like white noise (when you can hear it).

    The GX85 is a real pleasure - with those tiny, pocketable lenses (12-32, 35-100, 20mm) it is easy to travel with and video can be shot anywhere, for portraits, landscapes, night-time, small animals, etc.

    Really great footage, Mark. You are making me lust after a GX85! It has such nice, steady hand-held stuff. The IBIS does very well indeed. I hear a hum from 0:52-0:55 in the Botanic Garden clip. Is that the IBIS noise or some other ambient?

  • markr041markr041

    Firmware update! Firmware update!

    Version 1.2: reduces noise while shooting video.

    People did complain about IBIS noise, so this fixes that. However, I never really heard noise. Check out the Botanic Garden video above (has a real ambient soundtrack not covered over with elevator music), shot with the old firmware - notice camera noise?

    Great stuff, Mark.

    Two days at the 2016 World Straight Pool Championships last September. Shot at 1080/60p in the Natural profile. Love this camera.

    Another petition

    We ask, therefore, that Panasonic introduce a firmware update to include a "log" profile or a Cinelike-V or Cinelike-D profile to Panasonic GX85,

    I found my GX80 used for 300€ and it's a major upgrade from my G6. The things i've noticed up until now - the IBIS is really nice, and the screen is also really improved compared to my G6. It makes working with shallow depth of field way easier! I did not check out 4k yet. But really well spend 300 bucks.

    Wedding video I just finished up with the GX85 as my A camera

    The main annoyance of shooting with the GX85 is the electronic viewfinder. It’s a field-sequential LCD panel, which means it’s susceptible to some very distracting color anomalies. The EVF on the GX85 sucks compared to what you’ll get in the GX8, or for that matter the Olympus PEN-F or really any other electronic viewfinder on the market today. And while the 16:9 aspect ratio is fine when you’re shooting video, if you want to frame a still image at 4:3, the image in the already-small EVF gets even smaller.

    Even with the flawed EVF, you’re still getting a lot of camera for $700. In fact the GX85, despite a couple shortcomings, is one of the year’s best Micro Four Thirds camera releases.

    Very nice. Have you tried these Christmas figures using GH4 and V-log and rendering HDR?

    GX85 + Nocticron for what it's good for: Night shots!
