I'd like to know why the EVF display shakes, when half-depressing shutter to focus? What causes this? The DFD focus? I tried the GH5 and G9 both in store, and both did this. Also not too impressed with the EVF. I wish Panasonic would start using OLED for both the EVF and LCD's.

It actually is an OLED EVF on the G9, by the way...  Maybe you meant the GX9?  Or the monitor (which is of course an LCD one on both these models).

If you mean the fast pulsation of the image on half-pressing the shutter release in C-AF, then yes, that's the CDAF-based DFD system monitoring the situation, even when it is settled on something that's in focus.  Actually, in my experience all CDAF systems do this, but the G9 does it faster than most.
