Re: Auto action mode

Hi there! Does the G5X II have any sport/action mode in auto or any of the scene modes?

I am buying this camera as an extra to have at home but also for my partner to use. She will most probably use the auto/scene modes.

I’ve had a look in the manual and there are many scene modes but none for action. I know that this camera isn’t the best for fast action but is there any auto or scene mode where the camera chooses faster shutter speeds?

I haven’t recieved the camera yet so checking here first.

(Sorry for writing in an oldish thread but there are so many G5X users already gathered here!)

Not that I know of.

I had c1 setup as back button focus with ai servo, single shot on P, for this sort of need. It’s not a sports shooter with CDAF...
