Hey

Was a solution ever discovered for jerky panning on the GH4? I have tried nearly all settings / combinations of settings in an attempt to get that perfect build smooth pan.

I have more tests to complete but I am actually finding that by resetting my camera from PAL to NTSC and filming at 29.97 or 59.94 is producing the best results.

I can pan and follow a subject with little or no problems but it is when panning a nice wide landscape shot - even with a motorised pan like the Syrp Mini Genie - that I really notice the jitter.

Thanks Paul

What are you viewing it on? The on-board monitor which, IIRC, is 60Hz so won't show PAL pans smoothly; a 60Hz computer monitor; or a PAL TV? Really only the latter will tell you if it's smooth. However if you want to show the video on a 60Hz monitor then NTSC might be the way to go, except you can get issues with flickering sometimes.
