Panasonic G9 Mark II

Just thought I would start a thread for G9 mark II owners.  Only just got this camera so very much a learning curve.  One observation that might help others is the selection of codec it uses for video, either HEVC or AVC is used.  Oddly as the owner we can't choose which compression is used.  When using MOV file types which enables the better quality options then, 4.2.2 codecs are recording using AVC, and 4.2.0 is recording using HEVC, roughly both seem to be around 200Mbps.  So if you require one type over the other, you need to select the appropriate 4.2.x option.

This is kind of odd as given the extra colour information to encode then HEVC would have been better for 4.2.2.  Perhaps they drop down to AVC as this is easier to decode and edit given its 4.2.2 AND 10bit, or maybe the hardware encoder in the camera doesn't support 4.2.2 in HEVC.  If they are worried about easier to decode/edit, then I would have thought they would give the option to use AVC for 4.2.0 at 10bit as well, but that defaults to HEVC.
