The same thing happens with Sony and canon autofocus. You have to adjust, tap or go manually. Plan accordingly when doing events, wedding’s, etc.. There are times you should use it and times you shouldn’t, it’s just a tool like anything else.

Just an observation after limited testing, but it seems to me that when using EF lenses (and maybe others?) when there are multiple people in frame and human detect AF is on then the camera often randomly shifts between people, which is very annoying. However, if I turn off AF detect settings completely and switch to AF tracking mode then I can just tap on one person and it's very good at holding that person until I tap elsewhere.

Especially older films when it was all film. It is definitely less common these days but I have seen it, I think there was an out of focus shot that was very noticeable in the last Thor film. With super shallow DOF tracking long takes some soft focus is definitely common. I suppose its a little more critical for short form social media stuff as every shot is more apparent. Or maybe it matters less as such content is usually so short lived.

Would love to see it too, but I guess that in m43, Panasonic will only go with th GH line and a G100 sucessor - looks like they want to niche m43 in high end video / blogger video. Maybe a G9 sucessor. But I don't see a new GX, and for sure no more LX and FZ lines. In fact, I did not even understand the GH6. The "H" is for "hybrid", and the GH6 is much worse than GH5 for photos, is almost a video camera only. And probably the research for the S5 II PDAF started some time ago, why they did not put it on the GH6, even if it meant a new delay? Maybe the (still not named, no one look for the sensors in microscopes?) sensor manufacturer for the GH6 did not have the tech to do a PDAF one?

Can you upload a file? I wouldn't mind having a look at it.

Thanks! Just checked the light, its the same for me. I also tested it on the original S5, and it only lights when charging. Maybe there is a setting so you can use it as a tally light (not sure). I guess the AF eats battery and that's why its default to off when its not recording.

You can set it to AF constantly in the menu Video>Focus>Continuous AF>Mode 2 Congrats on your new camera! Can I ask you, when it's switched on does the power light next to the on/off switch turn on? Mine doesn't, which I find weird, unless it's charging. Another odd thing is that Panasonic doesn't give you a battery charger in the box. Just an AC adapter to plug into the camera directly. I already have one from the GH6, but it's a bit miserly in my view. Another miserly oddity is that old GH5 batteries won't fit in the S5II battery compartment, but they do in the GH6 which also takes BLK22s.

Hi All: I decided to bite the bullet and upgrade to firmware version 3.0. I am delighted to report that communications with the RS2 did not change as a result of this firmware. As for for video auto focus, I took 8 clips at 60 FPS of ring tail doves against trees denuded of leaves. Of these 8 clips, only 1 was out of focus. Balance were sharp. I also took 4 clips at 120 FPS. Three of them were of ring tail doves against the same denuded trees. All three clips were in-focus. The fourth clip was of grackle in the same de-nuded trees. Because there was more contrast between the bird and trees I expected that this clip would remain in focus. It did not. That was a disappointment. More testing is required. But my first impression was the video autofocus for version 3.0 is an improvement over 2.1. However, FujiFilm still needs to continue to make improvements. I look forward to the next update. Don

You can go into the settings, I believe, and make it so that AF works even when not recording.

I second that @John Matthews But much more than that I would love a GX cam with GH5 goodies but without the pink blotchyness in Vlog under certain conditions and skin. LX100 seems cool as a concept but in reality a fly by wire lens does not need to be spoiled by 10bit prowess giving us only 80% of the sensor estate in a though compact but hardly pocketable body. Too many compromises so far. For the 1 inch line like the LX15 it would perfect to have 10bit in that kinda truly pocketable body. Though the lens is hardly covering the whole sensor, at least at the wide end it is vignetting with hard cut edges plus bending and blurring in photo Raw. FZ line, heck yeah, S16 sensor size, 28- 200 T2.8 lens, lens with hard stops for manual focus with PDAF, 12+ MP Dual Gain sensor, 10bit, NDs, timecode, SDI. But nobody would buy that thing, because it would be too expensive and too video centered plus "only" S16. Without the other goodies i wouldn't need 10bit. FZ2000 is still more than 600 EU on the second market. So GX line and LX15 successor, yes please!:)

You mean 8K 120p isn't industry standard? Don't tell the forum this, there could be a mutiny.

So it looks like you're trying to export the file as HLG? Is the original footage HLG? The project doesn't look like it is (at least it doesn't mention it in the project settings.) Under "Basic Video Settings" hit more and see if you can change that. Also is there any reason you're using custom settings instead of one of the presets?

@tompeter has transcended my friends

Well thats one way of paying for the Alexa. For more information, join channel @fuck_right_off

I that case I have no interest in a conversation with you, I really don’t care about those kind of ridiculous technical obsessions. I know how to light and frame and do - you know - cinematography work. To anyone interested in why HDR is a waste of time - go read this very informative Twitter thread.

That's why the Mini is so extremely popular, but their secondhand prices are still a long way yet from being "affordable".
