Re: Tip: AF in manual focus mode - Panasonic video

I discovered how fast this was as well. It seems to vary with different bodies and lenses. I only have two native Panny AF lenses and of the two, the 12-42 3.5-5.6 on the G7 grabs focus very quickly and never hunts. I'm going to do some more experimentation for run-and-gun video where you want to grab focus and start rolling ASAP. But even when it's slower, say on the GH4 with the 20mm 1.7, it's still faster than any other option. Very psyched to discover this and it only took me like three years. : )
