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 (which one, the Oly or the Panny?). For example, on my G6 and GX7, the Panny 12-32 shows SS but the Panny 12-35 shows none.
What sort of a photographer are you that you would go into
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.
How about you show us some examples?
Hen3ry I wasn't trying to start a fight or sound belligerent in my post, I was simply venting due to me being frustrated. Now let me just go down the list of your post and answer them as best as I can.
- I've almost overwhelmingly been using the GX8 in good lighting and at the shutter speeds needed for that I highly doubt I would run into SS. The only times I've used it in bad light was during video shoots where it was locked down. I got the GX8 primarily for video use and so haven't really fully utilized it for stills.
- I typically use the 12-40 on the GX8 so I thought it'd be fine but as I stated above, hadn't really used the camera in low-light situations before (for stills). I also mentioned in my post that I was using the 7-14 f2.8 and as a addendum I did fine with that lens the SS wasn't as severe.
- As for the attack on my character, this was a very last minute affair and it was done as a favor (note free) for a friend who needed a extra hand with covering that wedding. I'm also not a professional photographer, photography is more of an indulgence/hobby for me than anything. Video is where my gear earns it keep.
- As for examples I typically just outright deleted the images I knew were affected by it. The files were being transferred to my friends laptop at the end of the night and I didn't want her to sift through a bunch of unusable photos when she got home. If I get time I might do some comparison shots to show what I'm talking about.
