I don't have the G85 specifically, but whenever I've recorded video with Panasonic cameras (or any other cameras), the files were always split into parts 4GB or less. If anything has changed, I'd be interested to hear about it.

The G7 (older camera) breaks up files into 4.26 GB sizes, the GX85 does not. The GX85 will write one long file, regardless of how long you're recording. I'm assuming the G85 would be the same, since it came after the GX85, and it's basically the same camera, but in a DSLR style body.

I believe you, but, when I look at this review on IR, they say that it's still split into 4GB files.

"Continuous sustained 4K video recording is unlimited for the NTSC-region model. The camera will continuously record videos until the file size reaches 4GB, at which point a new file will automatically be created, although playback will be seamless."

So, they're wrong? I don't have the GX85 either, so I can't say.

Edit: I do think you're right that the G85 and newer bodies no longer do the 4GB split.
