Don't trust the weather sealing

I currently have a Panasonic G7 which has been a fantastic camera but I am thinking of upgrading to a G85, mainly for the unlimited video recording capability. I have two questions about the G85 - would appreciate any comments on these:

1) How good is the weather sealing on the G85? Is it OK in a light/med rain?

I have a G85 and I wouldn't trust the weather-sealing too much. There's none around the battery bay, for instance.

2) How good is the video autofocus? Not expecting miracles but curious what G85 users would say about effectiveness of autofocus during video.

Thanks!
