Sorry, Arctra, I find your post very odd. Examples please

There is no way SS is going to show up just at this event. You say you have been using the GX8 for months; if SS was so severe, surely you must have noticed it in that time?

SS is an interaction between camera and lens -- did you go into this wedding with untested combinations, the GX8 plus the Oly 12-40 and 7-14. For example, on my G6 and GX7, the Panny 12-32 shows SS but the Panny 12-35 shows none -- I have tested, and I know that, and choose appropriate kit for pro work or work around the known SS.

What sort of a photographer are you that you would go into a wedding job with untested equipment?

Sorry, I just find your post lacks credibility -- it is either bizarre that you went into a wedding job with untested equipment OR what you are claiming is wrong.

You also tell us that that you and a couple of flashes for when it got dark -- but you put away the GX8 when the light got dull. What about using it with the flashes? No discernible SS would show up with flash.

In addition you throw away a line saying you don't like the Panny UI or the color. The UI complaint is irrelevant to your current post; what IS relevant is the color. Are you telling us you went to photograph a wedding with a camera that produces color you don't like?

Are you so ignorant of the capabilities of the GX8 -- after months of use -- that you haven't adjusted the parameters either within camera to produce JPEGs with color you like or within your PP tool to produce colors you like from the GX8 RAW files?

How about you show us some examples of the wedding pictures that you are complaining about?
