Thursday is D-Day for Operation Cheap Screen so I'll let you know. If it doesn't explode as soon as I plug it in.

They do tax free with an EU VAT number but, yeah, for the sake of a couple of days when we are all in all likelihood looking at a six month wait (at least ) does seem daft

You can pay in Euros at CVP by the way

If you are dead set on ditching the GH5, I'd cash it out as soon as you can and get a cheap 2nd hand G7 and review again when the Pocket comes out. The G7 will tide you over nicely and keep you in MFT so you can keep your glass as a hedge for if you go for the Pocket. If you decide against the pocket you won't have lost hardly anything re-selling the G7. Especially if you buy it in the UK and sell it in Alicante ! Spoilsport

I'm not one for hyperbole as a rule but this camera has just completely and utterly re-defined the market. The value of my camera collection has just sprung a major leak !

Mmmm..... I've just tested it on 2 different phones and a tablet with GX80, LX15, G7 and FZ2000 all without any issues. Its really odd that its not setting the shutter for you. Basically, if that part of it has an issue then the brackets won't work as it hasn't got a starting point. OK, try it with your other phone tomorrow and let me know.

When you are selecting it in there, does it highlight in orange before it comes back to the main screen?

Don't use the Bracket function of the Stepper app as there is a bug with it, hence why I made the dedicated one. So only use the dedicated one. When you are using the dedicated one, make sure you select a shutter speed first by pressing the Shutter button This will open a list and you select your base shutter speed from there. It will then return you to the main screen and you should see the selected shutter speed.

They should definitely have called it The Pocketti ! It sounds like some sort masterpiece of industrial design sculpted by Pininfarina for the gentleman filmmaker of the late 60s.

Yeah, looks like Tech. V-Tech to be precise

Here you go

Would you be interested in a interface for the GH5 that gave you XLR inputs, SDI outputs and a DC input with D-Tap output? Hypothetically speaking of course ....

Yeah, would've thought the DC in and the TC input would make a new one very relevant for where they want to pitch the GH5s. Maybe Top Gear didn't ask for it

I might do a teaser pic of half of it peeping out of the darkness at an obscure angle. Seems all the rage.

The YAGH Interface box gave SDI output, amongst other things, to the GH4. Quite surprised they haven't produced an updated one for the GH5s at least (to further differentiate from the GH5). Or maybe thats something they have up their sleeve.

Hypothetically speaking, would something that did the following be of any interest to Panasonic (both GH5 and non-GH5) owners ? 8 focus points (pulled from current lens position so can be either using touch AF or manual etc) 4 auto transition speeds between points Manual transition between points Manual focus adjustment All driven from dedicated hardware switches. And wirelessly. From a handheld device. Hypothetically speaking obviously......

God no, it could have been called "The Donald Trump Fluffy Kitten And Puppy Decapitator" and the EVF would still have been its bigger negative by a country mile It might as well be one of these. Except it would have to be called a "What The Butler Didn't See" machine to comply with trading standards.

JVC's Variable Scan Mapping sets itself to 80% for MFT lenses but in my experience you can set it to 90% with most of them. I wouldn't expect an LS300 replacement from them at this show as they seem to be pushing the range above and below it.

Looks like a Leica R9 Lets hope it isn't priced like one.

Put the picture in Photoshop and raise the shadows. You can see something written on the bulge.

Great discussion going on about these images over at BMCUser They're analysing them like its the Zapruder film !

Oh well, was looking for a shortcut ! I have an implementation of it that can do it externally (for all Panasonic cameras not just GH5) but it needs some re-thinking to make it smoother. Cheers anyway

You couldn't do me a massive favour at some point could you @jonpais and fire up Panasonic's smartphone app and see if the function can be triggered from there could you?
