[@danieljcox]

Out of all the youtube videos that claim to show how to fix the GH5 AF issue, this young man has done the best job by far. For many of us that are new to video Matt begins with the very simple starting point, making sure your have the Mode dial set to the Video icon. Sounds stupid but many of us are really just beginning. He then takes us through to the other option I did not see from anyone else and that is SS/Gain Operation and then finally to Synchro Scan. Very well done and I'll be coming back to Matts channel in the future. I like this kid.

[@mattkrieg9669]

Thank you for the kind words! I just want to help everyone out the simplest way possible, this camera stuff can get a little complicated sometimes!

[@BestAudiovisualTricks]

You are the very first one to explain ‘how’ to do it while other would just show and talk about the results. Job well done, you saw the opportunity, you didn’t waste time and you nailed it! 🤘🏻😊🤙🏻

[@mattkrieg9669]

Thanks, appreciate that! I like to make videos of the things I was looking for on KZbin and I figured this will simplify it for people!

[@HarvyDangerFilms]

I Agee. Well done. Were you shooting in 24fps or 30fps or...? Thanks!

[@HarvyDangerFilms]

My apologies. I watched again and saw the 30fps in the upper left corner. ✌️

[@BestAudiovisualTricks]

Matt Krieg and you did, very smoothly. Keep up the good work! The future is yours! 😊👍🏻👍🏻

[@samphotoyt]

Agreed, most including YodaYeo told us what to do but I had to track Matt down to figure out the actual settings. Nicely done.

[@YodaYeo]

Having played with the custom settings I'll shed a bit of light and will more than likely get the pulsing under control. Basically the speed increases or decreases how far the camera adjusts the checking image, as a guess I'd say 0 speed and -1 sensitivity would be a good string point for general stuff and fast tracking subjects to and from the camera would benefit from the +5 speed. An ideal use fir the custom settings buttons :)

[@mattkrieg9669]

YodaYeo interesting, I was playing around with the settings the other day and basically doin that anything besides +5 removed most of the pulsing. I also found it had s lot to do with which lens you are using, the wider lenses seem to hunt more.

[@soleiljaan3757]

YODA is such a fitting name

[@WaaProductions]

Matt Krieg so which speed/sensitivity works best for you with wide vs tele lenses? Curious to compare your resuots

[@DrKumarBG]

YodaYeo you are the real master yoda. :D

[@stankmt5016]

I tried it on my GH4 and it doesnt make that huge of a difference.. it's still hunting for focus. Any fix for GH4?

[@Greg-vd5om]

EXCELLENT!!! Fixed my GH5 Focus issues

[@KevinFremon]

I’ve watched a ton of these autofix videos and you nailed this one with all the examples. Thanks!

[@dajael]

I'm late on this, just got my GH5 last month but from what I can tell...this was a game changer. Great video man...I loved the vibe. @YodaYeo is the MAN!!! Totally agree.

[@johnnymossville]

Been using it for a few days and all I can say is wow it's a big difference. Totally usable now.

[@yoasnicholas]

well done! A great improvement for GH5 setting. Keep up the good work my friend

[@fredmiu2001]

wow Matt, i can't believe the GH5's autofocus can be that good. Well done & thanks!

[@DefiantFilmsTV]

That pulsing AF is driving me crazy, completely unusuable imho.

[@DefiantFilmsTV]

And saying that it is as good as Sony or Canon is completely misleading. It isn't, as clearly evident from your own video. :P

[@mattkrieg9669]

I wouldn't say it's as good as say Canon's AF system. However this little fix lets the GH5 at least compete with it. The pulsing also seems to be worse on the wider lenses, you can see that when I used the 45mm outside there was little to no pulsing.

[@dejffjed]

It is not a matter of camera. It is a matter of AF itself. For video work - useless, stupid tool.

[@qtben17]

The pulsing look on the trees doesnt look good in professional applications. A client may think that the camera is defective and might turn them away. And not sure how does this af performance compete with sony and canon. Probably on the same level of an adapted lens that keeps hunting and has lots of focus breathing - which are unacceptable

[@MrMackinven]

The pulsing background is because he has the focus setting ramped up to 5. Try 2. There are some other videos talking about this

[@dcmedia66]

You're getting nasty focus breathing / pulsing which is most likely due to your custom AF settings being on +5 which is probably too fast.

[@mattkrieg9669]

Dave Cox I’ll adjust my custom settings and see if I can reduce that a bit.

[@miquelbiggs5721]

Matt Krieg any difference?

[@Ghandjaloodah]

@@mattkrieg9669 Did it work?

[@uma360]

Thanks so much, I am a beginner and walking through the settings helped a lot. I wish there was a video that walks through the best settings for each scenario.

[@sinhnhatvuive83]

i have tried this out and it worked perfectly. nothing now can be compared with gh5 except a newer gh5.

[@xtreme65xtreme]

sinh nhat gh5s :)

[@rjlstudio2847]

Surprisingly, I applied these settings to my GH4 and it works well.

[@fieldsproductions2380]

thanks I was holding off on getting it but now I order it today thanks to you and YodaYeo

[@YodaYeo]

Honestly, after seeing your video on a bigger screen than my phone, with the fix working with native lenses it makes me want to get some! Never thought i'd be saying that!

[@mattkrieg9669]

All I have is native lenses because I've always heard the auto-focus is supposed to work better with them.

[@JamesAllenUK]

Worth it IMO. Some gorgeous natives lenses out there. The 45mm Olympus as shown in this video is cheap yet has truly stunning visuals (and decent AF). The 12-60 Leica has wonderful optics and also very good AF. Not got the 8-18 but from what I've seen it's sharp as a tack (though costs a pretty penny) ;) Awesome seeing them working so well with your fix. Not all are great - a couple of my natives are still pretty bad (though improved to a level).

[@mattkrieg9669]

James Allen I don’t know if I’d call the Olympus 45mm cheap at $1200 haha you may be thinking of the f1.8 version. The one in this video is the 1.2 but I’m sure the difference is negligible.

[@JamesAllenUK]

Aha! Now I feel silly :) I should have checked the description and not assumed it wasn't the pro version. Probably as I own the 1.8 I just thought of that one. The AF looks superb on yours - I tested mine briefly yesterday and it was good but on reflection the pro seems quicker. I'm personally aiming to get the 42.5mm Leica but I imagine the pro is a total beast.

[@mattkrieg9669]

James Allen I had a hard time deciding between the Leica 42.5 and the Olympus 45 pro but I ended up liking the bokeh more on the Olympus. I’m going to do a review of that lens soon!

[@ChahsZinHD]

Great video! Very informative, it was easy to follow and helped me a lot.

[@chungdha]

The hunting is super annoying to watch

[@MMOTIONtv]

chungdha totally aggree ✌

[@soleiljaan3757]

You're jealous because you didn't find it yourself, if it works it works !

[@MMOTIONtv]

soleil Jaan haha of course 🤣 sorry but this is absolutely unusable for me and alot of other filmmakers!! Better slow and smooth AF then fast and hunting;)

[@soleiljaan3757]

IF YOU'RE AN FILMMAKER, Do not use auto focus, if you use it for events or work and youre behind the camera, use the touch focus, but if youre alone and want to vlog... use fast auto focus, the breathing is not bad,

[@mattkrieg9669]

If you adjust the custom AF settings it isn't as bad. It also has a lot to do with which lens you're using. I am going to make another video with some more tests and reducing the hunting.

[@kn0ckamus]

This option, and his, didn’t work on mine and none of my lenses. Oh well, back to manual focusing and the 6d2 for me I guess lol. Good job on the video my man 👍🏼

[@Hei_hey]

GH5 users get their camera value now, congrats ~

[@angelgcastro1]

Actually works better!! Using Sigma 18-35mmThanks for the vid!

[@LeeBailes]

Thanks for sharing how to change the settings for Noobs like me! Much appreciated!

[@mattkrieg9669]

exactly how I try to run my channel, no mumbo jumbo just plain and simple!

[@YodaYeo]

Great test with native lenses. Enjoy you new camera. :)

[@mattkrieg9669]

Thanks, It is like the firmware upgrade we were all looking for! big props to you for the find!

[@williamreed912]

For me, this is a big deal. I was holding off on purchasing a GH5 for the AF issue. But, where is the response from Panasonic engineering? And why didn't their engineers find this? Perhaps there is a future firmware update that will optimize all these settings...

[@cammac66]

I was about to buy the g7 but ended up with canon m50 sue to the AF issues on the former.

[@FourKnown]

You don't have to use the synchro scan setting. All you need to do is change from shutter angle to "SEC/ISO" and set the shutter speed to 1/60. It does the same thing. The reason is that on shutter angle it is not really choosing 1/60 but slightly under 1/60. I use one of my custom settings for auto focus. That way you can still use shutter angle on everything else.

[@WaaProductions]

John Packard when you say you use one of your custom settings for autofocus, what do you mean? Can you elaborate?

[@FourKnown]

Waa Productions Sure. So I tape a small chart on the back of my camera (Under the LCD screen) with custom settings on it. There are five. I have custom setting number two now set to "4K 30P Continuous Focus." That's what I have on the paper label so I can refer to it quickly and others can too. I set it to 1/60 with the "SS/Gain Operation" set to "SEC/ISO". So now whenever I rotate my dial to "C2" it goes to 1/60 sec not 180d.

[@Metaldetectiontubeworldwide]

Every time you waved your arm in the talking head session in the begin , i saw the the image of the blurry lamp ...hunt 🤔

[@MitchSummers]

Thanks for sharing the info! We use a GH5 as our a cam for a run and gun style series and it's been the Achilles heel of the camera. A couple questions: 1) Are you using AFS/AFF or AFC? Have you experimented with the various settings to see which one's the winner? 2) What about other AF modes with the 179 degree shutter angle? 225, the one with a small area of AF points as well. I normally use 1 area because that was best before, but sometimes it's not the right tool for the job. 3) What about just using 1/60 shutter speed instead of going to 179 degrees? I've heard it can do similar things??? 4) Did the results get better for you with going down to 160, 150, 140...etc? Where's the best performance (Although 179 looks great from here!) I've got the leica nocticron and the panny 12-35 so I will give some of your findings a test on these lenses. Thanks again!

[@mattkrieg9669]

I was using AFC and I haven't found a huge difference between that and AFS/AFF. I did find the one point system to be the best out of all the other AF modes. I have not tried just using 1/60th shutter speed instead of the shutter angle yet. To me it looked like 179 and lower was all about the same, but more testing will definitely need to be done to be sure. Thanks for the comment!

[@MitchSummers]

Thanks for the detailed reply. I am still using 179 and loving the improvement.

[@elliotlowndes5219]

So I have a burning question... and not about the autofocus fix, although great job Yoda Yeo! If, before this fix, everyone was running around shooting with a 180 degree shutter, what did you do to knock down the light at larger apertures, and especially if you're shooting V-log outdoors? The two main ND solutions have major drawbacks for me: 1. Vari ND filters - these are great until you change lenses and also have to spend the time unscrewing the filter and screwing it back onto the new lens if you remember to do it. This also assumes that you have adapted all the filter threads of all your lenses to the same size so you can swap filter between lenses, or I guess the super expensive option is to buy Vari-ND for every lens which is great until you're in a low light situation and forget the ND on the front of your lens. Option 2. - Matte box and ND filter set. Aside from matte-boxes being either really expensive, or really cheap and very badly made to the point you just want to throw it down the stairs; Once you have attached the matte box (presumably with LWS bars), the problem here is that the whole rig becomes bigger heavier and generally less portable for run and gun style shooting. It also makes the camera REALLY conspicuous so throws the option of street videography out of the window. Although a good matte-box stops direct light from hitting your ND (which is SO nice). I ask this question because after trying both these options for ND I have found myself often just throwing the 180 degree shutter rule out of the window if I'm in a situation where I don't have time to be messing with the gear. I make sure the shutter is at least expressed in degrees so that the shutter speed is always a factor of the frame rate. But to be honest no one really notices when I do use faster shutter speeds (clients), especially if the content is destined for nowhere more than social media etc. I find that the ability to maintain a good exposure at the aperture you actually want, rather than need, to be much more impactful on the perceived quality (by my clients) of the footage than any motion blur or lack thereof. Would love to know peoples' thoughts on the matter, but you know, only from people who actually earn money from what they shoot. No pixel peepers or lens collectors please. Thanks

[@mattkrieg9669]

Well the way I go about it is as long as it looks good, you dont have to follow those film making rules to the T. Also the only time I use auto focus is when I'm making KZbin videos like this. When I shoot videos for clients I use manual focus because I'm actually behind the camera. So this hack doesn't solve all your problems but in the case you're in proper lighting it works great. I was using a variable ND in the tests for this video and I still had issues with the background being blown out. As for indoor interview situations I'd say this 179 hack will suite you well, but as always use manual focus if you can.

[@elliotlowndes5219]

Yes, well like I say. I'm not here for the autofocus. Thanks for your reply. Someone should make a video about this though. If you search for 180 degree shutter rule, KZbin is full of videos who's only message is "you should use a 180 degree shutter", which is great if you live your life on perfectly lit sets all the time, but for the majority of us making videos in the real world it would be nice to hear someone say "you know what, if it looks good, and the video works then don't stick to these rules if they're going to limit you creatively"

[@sanderw1000]

you give to me the perfect information i was looking for thanks a lot...

[@MartinGuder]

Very heavy focus hunting forth and back several times each time the camera refocusses. Maybe reduce AF speed a bit to avoid this flickering background due to focal length. Not sure if it is otherwise useful at all, even if focus is now faster.

[@GamingOnMacOS]

I wish you did these tests with NDs on. Not many people will shoot like this in the bright ass sun

[@appledadlife]

Great video, thanks for making it!

[@davidp158]

Thanks for sharing this tip. Its a HUGE improvement. It doesn't seem to work with all lenses, but that's probably an issue within the particular lens. BTW, the trees in the outdoor shots look very strange as the camera hunts for focus. Do you have sharpening turned way up? If so, turn it all the way off. It doesn't add usable detail, and you can always sharpen in post.

[@mattkrieg9669]

The intense focus hunting was due to my AF settings being so high. I've recently uploaded a video showing how I've reduced it.

[@3kdsakiyo]

fantastic man :) tested with my 12-32 f2.8 its like light and day the difference thanks for the tip and great vid :)

[@ekphotography]

3DK you meant night and day I imagine!

[@3kdsakiyo]

ha ha yes not sure what i did there :)

[@Justin-bw8zi]

I'm using 4K 60fps, but the settings are not letting update Synchro Scan, "this menu item cannot be set". Any ideas what settings I have wrong that are preventing this?

[@nordfresse]

Just some feedback on lighting: compare what your face looks like in the garden (3:00), where it`s lit more evenly to what it looks like in your desk setting. I know you were trying set that classic portrait lighting there, but it makes your face look a little wierd. You may want to have that soft light not come straigth from the side but a little more from the front... Also, what happened in the af test in the garden on the leica lenses? They were pulsating really badly in the background.

[@mattkrieg9669]

nordfresse thanks for the feedback! That harsh lighting at the desk is actually from the window. I waited to long and the sun started to blast through! The pulsing is from my AF settings which I recently made a video on explaining how to reduce that.

[@franciscosunworld]

Exelletnt video..thanks a lot!

[@Beakerzor]

OMG, yes! THANK YOU

[@Beakerzor]

I'm trying to set this up, and noticed I need to be in [🎥M] ... damn meetings, back in a while to test further ...

[@langohr9613ify]

Would be nice to see that in a vlog scenario. To see if it hold up

[@mattkrieg9669]

I may test that out soon!

[@Mr2pint]

It works at but it's by no means fast compared to other good AF cameras.

[@YoungGun821]

120 works on my Lumix 12-60 is a huge difference!

[@joanaoliveira3174]

Congratulations for spreading the word! To be sincere your video was the first I watch and then I follow the link into Yoda´s video fix. And my question to you or to the Panasonic camera users is: that fix works with the GH4?!

[@mattkrieg9669]

Thank you! I'm not sure if it will work on the GH4, if you can adjust your shutter angle it's worth a try!

[@FruitaBus]

Even though the focus is supper snappy, it breathes way too much. You can see the flickering and micro-adjustments in the background. It becomes pretty distracting. That's just due to you maxing out the AF speed. Great video though!

[@mattkrieg9669]

thanks, I actually made a separate video discussing how I fixed the "pulsing" going on. My custom AF settings were just set a bit too high in these examples.

[@KaspervanDijk]

focus hunting is pretty noticable

[@AdamPrestNZ]

You need to turn your sharpness down so the refocusing doesn't make your background strobe so much

[@JetSmackedHD]

that hunting makes dizzy damn

[@skymakai]

0:11 I'm watching that out of focus camera in the background (upper left) focus bouncing in and out.

[@shock_me]

Nice test. Not sure on that AF Speed +5 setting though. It's taking away any smoothness from the focus transitions and exacerbates the pulsing in a pretty unfriendly way.

[@mattkrieg9669]

Ya, I'm going to run some more tests with different settings as well as different frame rates.

[@BobLorrimer]

I will be looking into this when mine arrives! However the indoor shots appeared brilliant...but there is something very unsettling happening to the background in the exterior shots.....but one could work round it.

[@mattkrieg9669]

I think it was due to my custom auto focus settings and my one point AF being so small. I am going to run some more tests to try and reduce the focus breathing.

[@jamesryan1939]

Is the auto focus better than Sony or Canon, the trees say no.

[@favs672]

The price tag is

[@sergeyzapotylok]

It works someway, but the focus breathing makes it absolutely unusable in practice. Anyway, thanks for your your efforts!

[@WargodFilms]

Wouldn't say better but definitely an approvement overall

[@CreativeExperiments1]

I've gotten used to manual focus and aperture, but I'm sure Panasonic can fix this with a firmware update.

[@timoconnor8846]

Matt, thanks for this tip. I notice in some clips you can really see some drastic shutter movement. With your Leica 12-60mm you can see some funkyness going on in the sky. What is this? Is it like moreaying? Unfortunately I shot a lot of action on water and have a good amount of sky and water in my shots. To me something like that is borderline unacceptable to publish. Do you know how to remove that weird shutter but still be able to utilize the AF feature?

[@motebike]

So, once I set the 179 shutter degree angle, what would my normal shutter speed be at, whether on 30p or 25p on 4K (UHD). I am slightly confused. Any help appreciated.

[@ancellrembang4338]

Great Matt Krieg....I cancel to buy this Camera, after wacth this...consider it again

[@markromero7874]

The autofocus is much better but definitely have to get the pulsing under control.

[@DanOhPhotography]

Dear Matt, I can't make my Shutter Angle ("d") display come up on LCD Monitor and also Synchro Scan is greyed out at Movie mode.

[@mattkrieg9669]

Dan Oh are you in “manual” mode?

[@AngelFrancoart]

GRACIAS !

[@Lvisionmedia]

That is a very helpfull video but I didn’t like that flickering in the background (sky area). I never had such issues with the dual pixel auto focus from canon which does that really smooth.

[@mattkrieg9669]

Camera_Shit I recently uploaded a video discussing how to reduce the focus pulsing.

[@Lvisionmedia]

Matt Krieg great. I have to check it out. Thx for your request. I have subscribed your channel

[@Silentaudits7]

Great easy to follow advise , thanks ... so peed off with all the "waddup dudes. blah blah high speed blugh " great vid

[@Mixxwizard]

Hey, thanks for sharing. What where speed sensitivity setting in this video?

[@gcprost]

Unfortunately this doesn’t seem to work on the GH4.

[@pettypoh]

Why does the background sky look like flickering?

[@jbs991]

Why the background all this time Zipping And flickering

[@CarpeDiemMediaPro]

Great video, thank you! Which lens do you think would be better for a vlogging travel ones that I can turn around on me and then also be the main work horse while we are traveling? The Panasonic 12-35, or the Panasonic 12-60 Leica?

[@mattkrieg9669]

Thanks! If you were going to pick between those two lenses I would go with the 12-60 just because you get that extra range which makes it more versatile in my opinion.

[@peterasecas8385]

Is It the same with 24/60/120 or 180 at 1080p? Thanks!

[@jokernia]

Your focus in video is hunting :)

[@AANasseh]

Thanks for the video. But how does the Face Recognition compare with this new setting to the Single point setting you had chosen?

[@mattkrieg9669]

The face recognition should work better as well but I've found it to still not be super reliable unless your in the right environment.

[@ArberBaqaj]

Great video, you have a little bit of hunting on the background, try a lesser sensitivity and that will be gone 😁

[@mattkrieg9669]

Ya I believe my custom AF settings were a bit too much. Ill run some more tests and try to reduce that.

[@tarunwadhwa5026]

Hi, Thank you Matt & YodaYeo for the fix. Will this fix work on adapted lenses? I have a Metabones Speedbooster Ultra with Sigma 18-35, Tokina 11-16 and a Canon 50mm 1.8. I am also planning a Canon 100mm L-series in near future. Will the fix work on these as well??

[@psznt]

Hey - where did you set the single spot af?

[@mattkrieg9669]

I usually set it where my face is going to be, I also set it as big as I can while keeping it on the face.

[@felixfrank3401]

interesting!!! seems the olympus has less focus breathing then the panasonics

[@mattkrieg9669]

Ya I noticed that, it may be due to the focal length and it being a fixed lens.

[@pawwclipprojects8864]

Ok what about you got to adjust angle to 218 because of the ambient led light? It’s great what you showed but what different lighting situation when you got to adjust angle to eliminate flickering

[@mattkrieg9669]

PawwClipProjects that’s an issue I haven’t figured out yet, I think this only works in certain conditions but more testing will need to be done to figure that out.

[@mstudioofficialwedding6362]

which one is good for eu 25 or 50

[@racifeeee]

Is the dynamic range of the GH5 really so small? The sky is blown out so badly.

[@mattkrieg9669]

The background being blown out was my fault.

[@Died1209]

So the Synchro Scan replaces the shutter speed? (Or, acts as..)

[@mattkrieg9669]

To my understanding, the Shutter angle would be in place of adjusting the shutter speed and the synchro scan allows you to adjust it in 1 degree increments.

[@DavideDeVita]

It doesn t work with my 20mm 1.7... it s normally? I cannot use the AFC modus...It s a bug or it s normally? :/

[@mattkrieg9669]

Interesting, if it's a m43 native lens it shouldn't effect which focus modes you can use.

[@mattwessels4512]

Hey, unfortunately that lens does not allow AFC. It's just too slow, but still a great lens

[@mattwessels4512]

And yes it is a native pana lens

[@DavideDeVita]

Thk you guys...it s working right now but slower...i need to buy a faster lens 🤔 great channel!

[@ELBOXDELUISANTONIO]

By the way..do you know something about use sigma Art lens 18-35 used on Gh5 with metabonws? there Is a problem...But does not is un GH4.

[@mattkrieg9669]

I only own native lenses so I am not familiar with how the lenses function on the adapters.

[@theinfinate]

sorry if you stated in the video but does it have to be in 8-bit for this "hack" to work?

[@mattkrieg9669]

No 8 bit or 10 bit will not effect it.

[@AllThingsFilm1]

Hmm. This didn't work for me and my GH5. Maybe there are other settings to change?

[@mattkrieg9669]

You should see some kind of improvement if you're shooting at 179 degrees 30p. I've found the lens you use plays a big role in the performance of it.

[@alonzojt]

Hey! Thanks for the accurate test. I appreciated. I've seen others with face detection on or center focus on. What are your settings?

[@mattkrieg9669]

Thanks! My settings in this video were +5 sensitivity but it was a little overkill and I've since made a video explaining my settings for this "hack" in more depth.

[@digiteye]

Hi, does this hack work in the gx85? I don't own that cam, so I cannot check the menu but interested in buying one.

[@mattkrieg9669]

I don't believe so. In order to achieve this "hack" you need to be able to manually manipulate the shutter angle.

[@Sam1712]

WOW... thats great! Have you told that to Panasonic? Seems to be a simple software bug :-)

[@mattkrieg9669]

I'm sure they have caught word of this already. Hopefully they work some magic and being out a fix!

[@stastro1785]

Thanks for sharing. Did you do any testing at 180d? Also, it seems a little too fast, the focus breathing turned me off, then there are some cases where the focus “snaps” quickly, looks off. Other times it worked perfectly.

[@mattkrieg9669]

I haven't tried 1080p but I'm assuming it wouldn't make a difference. I have made a video explaining how to reduce that pulsing or focus hunting you see in this video .

[@MoniandFredsillyrianGaming]

Is this in pal or ntsc frequency!

[@mattkrieg9669]

NTSC.

[@jjboy8948]

What would be the set up in Pal ?.

[@mattkrieg9669]

I'm not sure. YodaYeo would be the person to ask since he knows more about the technical side of how it works.

[@favs672]

You cut the shutter angle setting off, your test is flawed. You instead should have left shutter angle on and switched it to 180. It’s really not that much of a difference from 179-180. I’m speaking from Olympus Pro glass user stand point.

[@mattkrieg9669]

Panasonic has since released a couple firmware updates that essentially do this and help with the auto-focus issue.

[@bencorwin]

Nice!

[@alkuerbis5712]

wow nice

[@PaulKretz]

Am I gonna be banned if I say *even my childish Canon SL2 laughs at this magic dancing AF* ? LOL

[@telefonoadrian]

Matt, I am Using Olympus 45 mm as well. O do not know why, but when I choose 4K 8Bits 100M 30P as you I can not use the speed and sensibility like you. Just if I choose 10 Bits... Do you know why??

[@mattkrieg9669]

Make sure you have the settings at fully manual. If you already have that set I am not sure why you wouldn't be able to adjust the syncro-scan in 8 bit.

Matt Krieg where I choose fully manual? I am using AFC.

[@mattkrieg9669]

Change your exposure mode to "M", it is the top setting in the movie menu.

Hello, like us, buy a Sony camera, there are no issues with autofocus

[@FyyMyy]

AF is nervous AF!

[@robert7622]

look at all the pulsing in the background! its looks terrible.

[@EscapeSquad]

Still terrible!!! The background lights on off as it is Christmas! Good camera though!

[@mmarele]

Did you keep the camera in AFS or AFC?

[@mattkrieg9669]

I was using AFC for these tests.

Your video title is a bit click bait. You should rename it to gh5 auto focus improvement

[@mattkrieg9669]

Well dont we all need a catchy title to get some eyes on our content with how flooded KZbin is nowadays?

[@Bagus-101]

It's still a fix compared to native af setting.

[@stankmt5016]

Does it work with GH4?

[@DEF0RMEDUNICORN]

does anyone know how he is exiting the menu without touching the lcd screen?

[@mattkrieg9669]

BLAU I just half press the shutter release and it will exit you out of the menu.
