Can anybody see the famous micro jitter in this video with GH4 and 14-140 II handheld?

If you cant see it I suggest to get better viewing equipment.

Panasonic has a big issue here.

I think I see something...viewing on a 1920x1080 monitor...a tiny left-right wiggle with a bit of diagonal skew, like a rolling shutter. Is that what you're referring to?

It reminds me of what a film student gets when their camera starts to lose a loop.

I can see how that would be a problem.

Thank you for commenting. Do you have a small monitor and a long viewing distance. I watch videos with 50 inch plasma and every faults are very obvious. My old MEGA OIS videos are rock stable when viewing at close distance. So issue options:

1. Old MEGA OIS lenses are exeptionally good. Everything looks jittery compared to them.

2. People are watching videos with small screens and everything looks the same.

3. Some people can see differently (insect vision)

I shoot 4k. That jittering is very bad when viewing 4k at close distance. Old 14-42mm MEGA OIS is rock steady at 4k too.
