Panasonic Lumix DMC-G5

What connector for connecting to a PC installed on this camera? Is it compatible with standard mini usb or micro usb? Does it is charging the battery when connected to usb?

Just bought the two-lense G5 kit, and want to put protection filters on the lenses.  Read one review that said the poster couldn't use original lens caps and hoods with the filter.  I am looking at getting two B+W 52mm UV Haze MRC 010M Filters. Anyone have experience with these, or other suggestions?  Thanks in advance for responding.

I've been using this camera quite a lot, but just picked it up today after not using it for a couple of months. When I went to use it, I got this message every time I took a photo: "Please turn camera off and then on again" I figured out that if I turn on electronic shutter, the message no longer appeared. The manual didn't see to have anything relevant with this message and googling didn't reveal anything. My questions are: Anyone know what could cause this? Is the shutter broken...

I just purchased the DMC-G5, haven't used it much. As I was looking up information, I stumbled upon the dxomark.com's sensor ratings for the camera. The features of the camera are awesome. I want to keep it, but their assessment of its low light and actions scores makes me hesitate. http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/Publications/DxOMark-Reviews/Panasonic-Lumix-DMC-G5-New-features-and-a-new-sensor/MeasurementIt says the G5 delivered a lackluster low light performance, action shots and indoor...

Hi G5 owners,Is your "down" (timer/burst mode) button mushy feeling compared to the other directions (up, left, right)?I returned two G5's due to this issue since many times I couldn't tell if I actually pressed the button and some presses were not acknowledged (skipped).It's such a shame as otherwise, short of the lack of full manual control during video recording, the G5 is an absolute gem of a camera and would be perfect for my needs. The focusing speed is superior to any camera I've...

Saw a review on Amazon where the owner claimed that Panasonic had a hard limit on the G5 to 29 minutes.I can't find this referenced anywhere, and think this is ridiculous for 2013.Makes the video part useless to a lot of us that would like to leave a camera mounted on a tripod and film events like recitals, soccer games, etc.Can someone confirm?Thanks!

I have gone searching through the forum here and I don't think I found the answer to the question:What adaptor would most likely be the best fit to use M42 lense to m4/3 body AND still allow the aperture to be used?I have had come into my possession a Praktica MTL3 (which feels nicer to use than the Canon AE1 which I really loved) with 3 lenses - Focal 2.8 28mm, Focal 2.8 135mm and Zeis Jena 1.8 50mm.From what I have read, the mount system invoved is a M42 screw thread and since each of the...

Is there any difference in speed between this methods?

I just got the G5 and going on vacation tonight. USB charging would be a real plus when traveling. I could not find a reference in the manual but sometimes there are undocumented features, and USB charging is quite common. Does anyone have positive confirmation that the G5 is charging its battery when using USB?--Markushttp://mbka.deviantart.com

Want to get back into photography and get back some creative control, my last none point and shoot camera was an Olympus om1n. So have narrowed it down to Panny G5 with 14-42 and 40-150 from Jessops (UK) for £669 after cash back or Olympus omd-em5 for £1149 with 14-50 zoom and free 45mm lens. Have handled both, my heart says olly (nostalgia) my wallet says G5.So is the nigh on £500 difference worth it.Any feedback much appreciate Simon
