Panasonic claims 6fps with AF-C on the GX8, to my knowledge. However, I'd like to ask if it can reliably achieve this 6fps in real world usage.

It does achieve 6 fps

You just make sure you shoot at proper shutter speed (that does not slow down the camera in trying to achieve 6fps) and you have the burst rate set to H.

I took multiple shots and interestingly enough, I got 6 pictures showing the exact time 08:46:28. Meaning, the camera did take 6 pictures within one second.

AFC, ISO400, f2.8, 1/320s, A-priority, drive mode H, mechanical shutter.

I might be getting slower rates because I’ve got focus priority on. I’ll have a play today.

Theres not point getting 6 FPS though if it’s not getting half of them in focus though.
