thanks dude ... that's what I thought ... no OIS = no metadataOn Panasonic Micro-4/3rds cameras, there is no built-in accelerometer to provide orientation information. When a Mega-OIS lens is mounted, this information is provided by the accelerometer indide the lens,
...
Unfortunately, the 20/1.7 lens -- or the 7-14 zoom -- has no stabilization, that's why orientation information is not available when using this lens.
yes, as was stated by Abbazz, its in the lenses not in the body. Interesting design choice by Panasonic.Most DSLRs have orientation sensors (not accelerometer, Abbazz) built in the cams. I think it is absent in the G1 (that I know of).
Thanks for the precision. I had been told that orientation in Micro-4/3rds cameras was determined by acceleration sensors (accelerometers) located either in the Panasonic Mega OIS stabilization device built-in the lenses for Panasonic, or in the tilt indicator/stabilization device built-in the E-P1/E-P2 cameras for Olympus.Most DSLRs have orientation sensors (not accelerometer, Abbazz) built in the cams. I think it is absent in the G1 (that I know of).
