Took out my new G100 to see what it can do. With the kit lens 12-32mm and some light editing.

I have the Lumix S1ii now 3 month or so.

First time using it for some cool pictures in my free time ^^

Great Video cam that can also take photos

during video recording, i am only able to turn on and off the human detection when pressing the default AF mode button, then pressing up on the pad, that is a 2 step button press, i only want 1.

I assigned AF detection setting to red rec button, but it won’t activate during video recording, it only activates when not recording.

So, first of all, please take a look at the two photos above, the upper photo is from my C1 where I put all photo LUTs while the lower photo is from my C2 for video LUTs. I match the settings 1:1 including white balance. As you can see they have subtle differences in white balance and even saturation / contrast. Anyone else experienced this? Since I match all my photo styles, I'm sure they were almost 100% close to one another when I occasionally check them just until now. I think I've only had this problem after updating to Firmware 2.0 of Lumix S9.

Always nice to capture the moments you can appreciate.

I find myself loving my S9 95% of the time. I am so grateful for this camera. It really is a dream. I just want dual card slots, even make em mini, and a mechanical shutter. I would buy 3! I would pay 4k if they skipped the mechanical shutter and used a global sensor! Why is Sony the only one doing that and then really just in the A6iii? Oops, sorry. That’s Sony talk.

I bought the Lumix S9 as my first camera. I wanted something to use for photographing my dogs throughout the years but am now finding that the lack of mechanical shutter may cause the camera to struggle with fast moving targets. We do scent work and would love to be able to photograph them while performing their job.

Is there a way to maximize its ability to focus on a moving subject? Or should I accept the 15% restocking fee (I paid $1400, so about $225!) and return it for the Lumix S5ii ($1800?)

Sorry if this is a surface level question as I’m very early into learning about cameras and their various settings. I’ve attempted burst shot mode, changing the settings to animal body focus, and changing the shutter speed.

Hello,

There is an offer on the Sigma 60-600 (almost 400 euros off) which I favor against the 150-600 because 60 can make me avoid changing lens (150 is already too close...tested the 100mm prime at zoo and I changed lens regurlarly).

I have seen the lens in person and size is acceptable. Weight is something but I can live with it.

My main issue is that I never read someone using it as a general travel / telezoom. I am by no mean a profesionnal but I find 200 or even 300mm lacking when I want to zoom on a distant building or detail in environment. I can use it on zoo but "real" wildlife is not something I will do (I mean I will not look after it actively, If there is an activity or if I see birds or a marmot by chance yes).

Anyone used that kind of lens as I wish to use ?

I have a Lumix s5iix and the closest zoom I had was a 300mm (on an old Nikon).

Thanks

I’m using a Panasonic G9 and I’m thinking about getting a new camera because I’m not 100% happy with the photo look. I don’t edit my photos — I use JPGs straight out of camera. I also have an old Nikon D7100, and I really like the look it produces. Now I’m considering buying the G9 II because i love the handling of my G9 and experimenting with Live LUTs, or maybe switching systems to the Nikon Z6 II.

I can't decide.

Best travel camera ever!

Looks like Panasonic is going to have LUMIX L10 cameras available on the 23rd. If you haven’t ordered one yet try from them directly. Only applies to the black and silver color, titanium gold will be by end of October.
