OIS works in video. It can be turned off on Olympus bodies in favor of IBIS but not on Panasonic bodies (the GX7's IBIS is probably no better anyway and the GX8's works in conjunction with OIS). No clue about the 30mm's AF, good question tho.
The 42.5 has a pretty nice minimum focus distance btw, not macro by any means but good enough for decent close-ups. I replaced my Oly 45 with it in part due to this, haven't tried it with my extension tubes yet but it should be interesting.
I use Pana bodies and I thing this is not very good if I cannot turn IBIS off.
I heard about close distance for 42,5 and also seen some weird "doubled" bokeh on open aperture - did you noticed such on your copy?
I have the 30mm and you can turn OIS off or on in the menu. The GX7's IBIS is not used with OIS-enabled Panasonic lenses, but it works with any type of manual (non-OIS) lens. Again, you can turn it on or off in the menu.
The lens OIS does work in video, making it noticeably smoother handheld than a non-OIS lens. Autofocus works as for any other lens. In theory, without a focus limiter, A/F could take longer if rapidly moving between close up and distant subjects, but I haven't really noticed any issues with it so far.
Oh, pardon you are right I have this option in GM menu.
Thank you again!

The Fujifilm X-T5 is the company's latest classically-styled APS-C mirrorless camera. It gains the 40MP sensor and AF system from the X-H2 but in a body with a more stills-focused slant. We've been putting it through its paces.
We're Noct messing around with this review.
Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom impress in a lot of ways, but their noise reduction lags the competition and their lens corrections lack a real-world basis. DxO PureRAW 3 aims to come to their rescue without totally reinventing your workflow!
The Sony ZV-E1 is the company's latest vlogging-focused camera: a full-frame mirrorless camera based the FX3/a7S III sensor, aimed at YouTubers and 'creators' looking to go pro.
