I'm still working on it. The first thing I did after the above photos were taken was to set an FN button (I chose FN4) to change between normal and panning IS modes. I've always been shooting action using cameras without IS and with the GX8 I quickly learned that the wrong setting can easily lead to blurred photos.Hi there Jørgen, just wondering (and out of curiosity ): in what way did you have to adjust those settings ?
TIA.
Kind regards.
Secondly, I've started reading the pages about AF in the user's manual. There are many of those pages and they have to be read to be able to get optimum results out of this camera. This isn't different from other cameras that have advanced AF settings, but having used Nikon bodies for many years, I kind of thought I knew my stuff. I didn't.
With AF-C and tracking mode, it's very important to learn how the camera "sees" objects and what can make it lose it. This can only be learned by practicing, so I will practice.
When all this is said, I'm actually quite impressed by the camera's tracking abilities, at least with native Panasonic lenses. The viewfinder have some limitations when it comes to following moving objects in burst mode, but that's a known issue with most mirrorless cameras, although I believe the E-M1 II and the GH5 have mostly solved this. It's probably just as much a question of processing capacity as it is a challenge for the electronic viewfinder itself.
