I found a vimeo case where a user reports same kind of jitter problem with POWER OIS lens. It vibrates even when stabilation switch is off and camera on tripod ??!!.

The jitter seen in this video looks the same as my 14-140 jitter but mine is not so obvious.

Is there anyone with same kind of jitter? Is my lens broken or is this common behavior of Pana lenses?

Yes, the 12-35 had that issue specifically (micro-jittery OIS) until Panasonic issues a firmware fox for it.

I saw it myself with mine, and saw that the firmware update resolved it completely.

I didn't notice the same microjitters with my 14-140 II and GH4, but I've seen others report jittering or heat wave looking issues.
