From time to time posters (including me) have complained that the HDR setting on the Panasonic GX7 and GX8 is useless, because the camera doesn't align the constituent images properly. Those are the two Pannies I have; others have made the same point about other models. Some people have been sceptical.

Here are a couple of crops of shots I took of my computer screen, using the HDR setting on my GX8. This must surely be one of the easiest of images to align.

Sometimes the camera gets it right, more often it doesn't - and this applies just as much to conventional shots outdoors as it does to silly screen shots. It seems amazing to me that Panasonic has not sorted this problem, given that my humble Fuji X30 and ageing Pentax DSLRs do a perfect job.

Just making the point. Again.

OK here are two shots of my screen, #1 a standard jpg, second HDR. And I get same results all the time. These are both SOOC. Full Size.
