I found it by touching some red icon on the upper left of the touch screen.

Not found in the menus (yet).

Doesn't that just switch the exposure mode, not control aperture directly.

In Movie A and Movie M mode, I just use the front dial while recording, the aperture works fine. I think that is the default setting, not sure.

In menu, the setting is called Exposure Mode, should be in the early pages of the movie settings menus.

Maybe the title wasn't clear enough, but what I mean was "how to switch to Exposure 'S' mode while in video manual mode.

I think you are right - the title isn't ambiguous.

The fact that I could then change the aperture with a dial seemed obvious so it didn't cross my mind that the question could be misread.

When it comes to video, there have been some pretty remarkable questions asked by people who have just bought a multi$K camera. It certainly pays to cover off the basics.

So far, maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I can't see "Exposure Mode" in any of the video menus.

Menu> [Creative Video] > [Exposure Mode] > [P]/[A]/[S]/[M] is how it is done on the GH5 (which I use), and the following video is Panasonic explaining for the GH5, GH5s and G9

Certainly I find it easier to just use the icon on the screen.
