[@JetBen555]

It seems like AF-C performance in video on the G9 has improved dramatically with Olympus lenses that's kinda weird, wasn't expecting that.

[@professionalpotato4764]

It's not weird because Panasonic cannot use DFD with non-Panasonic lenses. It uses basic contrast detect, where the focus moves smoothly in a linear fashion, check for critical focus at every millimetre. So it's slow, but Panasonic's processor runs it fast enough in this situation. DFD was invented by Panasonic to make contrast detect faster by skipping the linear checks and throw the lens into near critical focus, before having 2 checks front+back to get pinpoint focus. In theory it's good for photos, but it's the exact opposite of what needs to be done in videos. It's as bad as a focus puller panicking and twisting the ring several times to get focus.

[@krillansavillan]

@@professionalpotato4764 Hey I didn't know that! That's a great explanation. That must be why I don't see the pulsing with my sigma lenses.

[@Knowbody42]

There are two basic components to autofocus: * The system that detects the distance and tells the lens where it should focus * The algorithms the camera uses to _choose what to focus on_ Dual Pixel autofocus is the thing that detects the distance, and it does work really well. But the R doesn't have head/eye detection algorithms nearly as good as the R5 and R6, or the Sony's. So the 'knowing what to focus on' part is the weak link.

[@cooloox]

It seemed to focus fine in this video. The odd thing is my RP focuses better than my friend's R and we both have latest firmware. We do a lot of street photography and if there's a lot of faces in the shot, the R takes longer to grab a face/eye. It also loses the face more easily. Once my RP grabs a face it never loses it. Same with an eye, if the person doesn't move out of range.

[@chevonpetgrave3929]

@@cooloox RP has face and eye detect thats why.

[@jiffijoff9780]

Good one on Pannyboy engineers! Seems like the pulsing was reduced drastically. Could still be a tad faster, but than again it was alright. SOme other youtuber (miro) found out, that higher framerates (50 or 6ßfps instead of 24/25/30) leads to faster and more reliable AF. Colors though were disappointing, Canon colors were much nicer, healthier. Overall all G9 user should be happy for the lastest update, for sure worth using it.

I'm really impressed with Panny colours - much better than the overly yellowish Canon output. I would like to see a comparison between current Panasonic vs Olympus output. With my older cameras I see that Panny has overexposed undersaturated reds while Oplympus has glorious reds and overall colour science.

[@david.stachon]

You'd be the first person in history that prefers Panasonic colours over Canon.

[@kombasanpracka]

@@david.stachon It wasn't the case in the past. I didn't like Panasonic colours at all and really used to like Canon colours (Canon 40D for example ... I even prefered it over Nikon). However here in this comparison that G9 looks more Canon-like than Canon itself. That R5 output reminds me of old Nikon D90 "yellow friendly" colour science which of I'm not a fan at all. I like the slightly "colder" oldschool Canon output.

[@cameraconspiracies]

You're not witnessing Panny colours, it's HLG to ARRI in Cinematch.

[@kwchalky02]

I like the Panasonic colours ... I'm aware I'm in a minority in that. It's very personal, and I have no problem with others preferring the colours from other manufacturers. However one thing I have learned is that you can't compare colours by looking at videos like this on KZbin, because people edit the footage as best they can to make it look like what looks best to them, which might be different from what comes out the camera and might be different from what I think looks good too. There is also the debate about what looks best as opposed to what looks accurate. Which again is down to individual preference. I'm very pleased with the colours I get from the G9.👍

Format a card in the camera to be updated, and , then perhaps ask a friend to unzip the upgrade files , and sent it / them to you , or give them the card to put it on if they live nearby. The update works fine , but only put one file on the card at a time , and reformat in between updates if you are doing camera and lens updates .

According to some other nerd on youtube (I think Kenny of Reapermania), recording at -18 is ideal, since most audio hardware is demonstrated and designed for optimal performance at -18. Perhaps that guy was full of crap, or perhaps he was ahead of the curve, because for years I would have my average around -12, which seemed to be the right thing to do. I will say that after I switched to targeting -18, my recordings do seem to have more transparency and life to them, I may just be suffering from confirmation bias, but it seems to hold water.

[@ftlbaby]

Yes, your ears are not deceiving you! -18dBFS is a great recording level. It gives you a ton of headroom to work with. I would put a compressor and gain up to -12 or even -6 during editing ; )

[@krp1088]

Ah, more reasons to buy a G9 I see

[@ivisonpacheco3118]

This G9 camera has some negative points, for example, the recording limit of only 30 minutes, which is very bad when I am filming with it at a long-term event, for example, an interview or a wedding. And if I need to record a video for more than 30 minutes, the camera will turn off, and I will miss important moments and images. And the camera also heats up a lot when recording in 4K. The camera is excellent for photography, but for working with videos with long events and long interviews, it is very bad because of the recording time limit of 10 to 30 minutes.

[@TechnikMeister2]

I think too much emphasis is being put on video, when for $2000, a serious videographer can buy a proper video camera designed for that purpose. Dynamic range and image quality are suffering as a result of making a stills camera do too much. When Panasonic brought out the S5 and supported the L mount...every bit as good a cameras as the Leica SL2, professional photographers in the fashion and portrait genre have a platform that virtually renders anything from Canon and Nikon redundant. Matt Osborne tested the S5 and SL2 using a Leica M mount 75mm f1.4 Summicron, considered the best portrait lens many can buy, and he could not tell the difference in the images.
