No way with zoom lens. I do night street photo a lot and best settings for GX80 and GX9 are - M mode; aperture 1.8-2; SS 80-120, ISO 2000-2500.

Don't shoot at wide opened - stop it down, minimum at one click, lenses characteristics are very bad at maximum aperture. Don't photo people with SS less than 60 - it will blurred, 100 is better. And ISO 3200 is acceptable only in FF cameras.

My aim was to photograph a light event called Dlights which has neon lights.
