I assign near/far to the 4-way pad (big round dial on back). far is on top - Fn16 near on bottom - Fn18 Works like to toggle. AF=ON is assigned to BBF

Spot AF on any system will have problems due to limited area to find a contrast edge. Low light just makes it worse.

Helps to include full transcript of that discussion…. Johnnie: Many of our followers would love to know why Panasonic is not moving away from “contrast base AF” to “Phase-detection AF” especially ...

I usually put a little strip of gaffer tape on most/all of my lens switches, just for that reason. Easy to lift up, change switch, and restick down.

Lightroom focus point plugins… Here are two options, depending on the camera you are using. https://github.com/musselwhizzle/Focus-Points Info: https://www.dpreview.com/news/6649462113/open-source- ...

Have you been reading SE’s posts here and on other threads?

Where are your comparable shots with your vaunted Olympus.  Or are you all talk and no action?  Put up or shut up.

I use Back button set at AF=ON (with shutter AF=OFF).  In AFS, half press of shutter is react as AE-Lock.  AFF/AFC will react as AE-ON (constant AE until full shutter press).

Usually ‘multi’ mode AE (matrix for Nikon) is center weighted with EC adjustments.  How the manufacture makes EC adjustments is usually an undisclosed secret sauce. It used to be based on prior ...

totally different technology, capability, and effect on resultant image. He does shoot sports, did you not read it and notice the football (soccer) shots? Her he comment that G9 was as good, often ...

Canon, AS YOU SHOULD BE AWARE, does not use dedicated PDAF sensels. They use DPAF, dual pixel AF. Mirrorless comparisons….in my post I stated the BIF advantage, so no reply was needed, but you ...

In your attempt at an analogy, PDAF should be designated as ‘ox and cart’ as PDAF is left over from DSLR AF technology. On-sensor PDAF, DPAF, and DFD are new mirrorless technologies.  As sensor ...

In my opinion… on a card reader (downloading to computer), the only important number is read speed. Actually, to me, not really that important as it can happen as I am doing other things….though I ...

You can probably work/explain the numbers better than I can. How does G9 measure at 104MB/s if max. Bus is 90MB/s? On the same site, https://alikgriffin.com/best-memory-cards-olympus-e-m1x/ Olympus ...

Effective rates (stated in your ref. Link as ‘in camera speed”) are 35% (104/299 for Sony G). Sandisk Extreme pro 300 has spec write speed of 260, performs at approx. same rate (85/260=33%) I had a ...

…and it will only improve with faster sensor readout, more powerful processors, and additional work on the algorithms. I think Panasonic was on the right path, it just has taken a few extra steps ...

I’m not sure who the ‘you’ you were questioning. The numbers I used “~100MB/s and those with 299MB/s” were the spec’d write rates on card (299 for Sony G), not the effective rate, which is lower. T ...

On most cameras, DSLR or mirrorless, SAF (or ASF) is faster and more accurate for still subjects.  CAF (AFC) gives up some of that speed and, usually, some of the accuracy to provide for motion ...

I don’t mean to ‘knock’ the camera.  However, I would be extremely upset with that SAF focus performance.
