Panasonic S1 FF Camera - copy of Nikon Z6
@c3hammer From the spec list: Extra Tele Conversion: 2.0x (EX S), 1.4x (EX M) So two levels it appears. Not sure what that means for 1080p. I don't understand this whole discussion here of rich and uninformed ??? People keep warning us a…

@vitaliy Special note I never made before - stay away from doing any preorders for both Panasonic S cameras. Keep calm. Haha, your special notes are very memorable! Infamous Vitaliy citation from page 1 of GH5 thread... Buy Samsung NX1 and bec…

New FT5 rumor: It can control your neighbour's barbecue by wifi and launch guided missiles at Syria from US destroyers.

GH4 can't turn off electronic shutter
It could be in Silent Mode. Same menu as the shutter type I think.

Back on L mount thing - it was planned to be only Panasonic-Leica alliance
What I don't get is why someone privy to this type of information would disclose in-house machinations that portrays their own company in such a poor light? They'd have to have a pretty serious grievance surely? Someone who betrays a pos…

@bealbuoy What are you basing its absence on? Is there a 4K/6K setting on the drive dial like with the other cameras? They've released very little in the way of information. Frustrating for us but maintains their competitor's ignorance…

Panasonic moved all force to Full Frame bodies, 8K HDR will be announced in March
Exciting. Surely it must have on-sensor PDAF though. They'd be marginalizing their own product without it.

Panasonic LX100 II camera, another false start
Looks like a pretty lazy update from Pana. I would've replaced my original if it came with a tilting LCD and tolerable EVF.

4k 50/60p would be something, especially with the latest sensor. Hopefully they don't make us wait 3 months for availability like with recent cams.

Gudsen Moza AirCross gimbal
I have one of these and quite like it. Pairs well with a GH5 and native glass. The company is a joke though. They sent a thumb controller with a dead battery and it took them six weeks to forward a replacement. I ordered a control cable three m…

^^ It appears the IBIS mightn't have been active for that test due to it switching itself off when the camera is mounted on a tripod. It was reported as a fault and Panasonic said they'll look into it.

@touviere7 It works for me during recording. I use it for macro video.

Panasonic GH5 camera, actual users feedback
@touviere7 I doubt it's the solution you're after but I take it you're aware of the AF+MF menu function? It enables the use of both AF and MF in unison but I think the shutter button has to be half pressed at the time, which can be a…

12-60mm F2.8-4 Panasonic Leica lens
@alcomposer Can you explain what you mean by software parfocal? At those close focusing distances the depth of field is very narrow, even if the PL12-60 isn't the fastest of lenses. Your test seems quite persuasive to me. Where you able to c…

GH5 Focus Transition things to come
@alcomposer "ParFocal Zooms would be nice!" Mirrorlessons mentioned in their video review of the PL 8-18mm that both it and the PL 12-60mm are parfocal. I can't speak for the UWA but the 12-60 seems to exhibit that behavior.

Not sure if it's common knowledge but apparently you get audio in 6K photo mode if you use the normal "press to start, press to stop" recording, but not for pre-burst or the press-and-hold options. @Vesku "Normal shutter cant wo…

GH5 Panasonic camera, from anticipation to love or hate
It appears you can now combine Ex. Tele with VFR, but only up to a maximum of 135fps. On the GH4 the two modes were mutually exclusive. So with the 2.7x 1080p crop this would morph the PL100-400 into a 540-2160mm equiv optic, recordable at up to 4…

The Dual-IS 2 firmware update for the original f/2.8 zooms has been cancelled due to hardware limitations.

When will Panasonic Vario PZ 45-175mm f/4.0-5.6 get Dual I.S. firmware update?
Simply speculating on the reason for its omission. No need to brandish the pitchforks and torches here :-)

I wouldn't read too much into its exclusion. Listing the long overdue 45-175mm would only serve to undermine the integrity of the document.

The zoom was stiff initially but has smoothed out after 6 months of intermittent use. I wouldn't call it buttery but it extends in one fluid motion now whereas previously we had to traverse some pretty choppy waters getting out to max range.

Ok so how long do you think a reasonable duration would be for them to identify the cause, implement a fix, and test sufficiently before releasing it out into the wild? And again, no competent manufacturer is going to release an official PR stateme…
