Re: Autofocus, IBIS

Interesting that DPR hasn't picked up on those alarming Panasonic weaknesses in their testing. They like the IBIS on both, and concerning autofocus, "Fast, accurate" autofocus for the GX9, "unimpressive continuous autofocus and tracking performance" for the EM5III.

They probably had the AF misconfigured. C-AF and tracking settings seem a bit backwards, as lower sensitivity is what makes the focus sticky. Which doesn’t feel intuitive to me. It might help if it defaulted to sensitivity = -1, but I’ve never owned a camera with C-AF that worked, so there might be a downside that I don’t know about.

God loves the noise just as much as the signal.
