1. Do I have to tell the Gx7 what lens I'm using? My Nikon gear had this but I never had to use it so I'm not familiar with the process. I can't find any reference to it in the Gx7 Op Guide or Manual.

Cameras with IBIS require you to tell them the lens in use, unfortunately they are not smart enough (yet) to deduce the focal length by analysing the image.

Very grateful for the responses and advice.
Does anyone know if (and how) I have to tell the camera what the lens details are?
Can't find any ref in the manual.

Just the focal length of the lens, nothing more.

Wishing it can help.

Thanks Albert - my problem was that I didn't realise there was a sub-menu. I took the main title at face value and ignored the item
should know better with Japanese interpretations.
