Hi everyone,

I recently purchased a Lumix G7 it's my very first professional-ish camera, before I was just working with point and shoots. One of my friends mentioned that manually focusing on yourself is better than using auto-focus. But I'm having a problem with the manual focus. When I set it to manual focus in movie mode I get this strange lagging and it's not just lagging on the screen it's actually recording that way. It only does it in manual mode and I have no idea why. I know the type of SD card you can use can be the problem sometimes but I'm using the right one. Any ideas?

You've probably set a shutter speed that is slower than the frame rate. Focusing method would not cause the video to lag.

Yup that was it, I feel like such a newb haha, Thank you!
