Hi Albert.

I own the Canon 70D which has the Dual Pixal AF built into it. I have used this for the annual parade without any focusing problems, a good system. I wanted to try out the G7 for the parade this year as it has a number of video options such as mp4 50fps and is lighter and smaller than the Canon camera.

If I could setup the Panasonic G7 camera so that it would stay at a certain focus until I half press the shutter button to refocus then this would be a big help. There is an AF + MF option in the custom settings which I have set to off and was wonder if this would help?

My main concern when the camera is set to Manual focusing is that there may be a lack of depth-of-field which means only some of my video shots will be in focus and it would be difficult to quickly manually focus...A skill I need to learn for this camera.

I think Pannumon had explained how to do it at your another thread few days ago : https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/62012608

I had taken similar advices from other members and am developing the skill. When doing 1080 is perfectly fine on GX85 (I don't zoom a lot and pan slowly), I had quite bad hunting problem on 4K.
