Re: GX8 lens combo help

I`m thinking about getting the GX8. I have a 25 1.4 Panasonic Summilux so I gather that the inbuilt IS in the body will work with that lens?

Also, I have the latest Panasonic 14-140 OIS lens, so will that work in conjunction with the body IS? or is one switched off?

I shoot 4K video as well and from what I`m hearing the in body IS is turned off during 4K?

Thanks guys

25/1.4 doesn't have OIS so yes, the GX8's IBIS will kick in.

The 14-140/3.5 has OIS which can work in tandem with the GX8's IBIS. You'll need to update the lens firmware to enable this "Dual IS" -- but it's worth it, the stabilisation is excellent.
