I think that Max's frustration is that he can't 'set it and forget it' and just enjoy the shooting experience. With the absence of a warning to indicate that the shutter speed is being lowered he ...

Have you used the minimum shutter speed feature on the GX9? My conversation was with forum member Max Polonski who stated that because the camera overrides the setting when the ISO limit is ...

I've used this to simply illustrate a point about the usefulness of having an exposure warning. So I'll ask a question. Lets say you're using aperture priority mode and you're ISO limit is set to ...

Thanks for that Max. This is very disappointing and defeats the purpose of the feature. On the G80 (and probably all the other Pana cameras), if the limits of the defined 'ISO Limit Set' is ...

Just to make sure I understand you correctly - it's not available in P mode and when the camera hits the set limit (defined by the user) , it may choose to override it? That's totally counter to ...

These cameras listed below offer the feature. Minimum shutter speed can be set independently of the auto-exposure mode in use, when ISO sensitivity is set to auto. OM-D E-M1 mkII Pen F (via ...

I'm sure in most cases you're scepticism would be justified. But that doesn't mean that some people can't be more receptive to subtle nuances than others. That discerning eye is what's likely to ...

I understand where you're coming from and in many cases you're right. However, not everyone has the same tolerance levels and attention to detail when it comes to high quality enlargements. I ...

In my experience the flash system on the older Panasonic cameras is not reliable. I had the same problem using the Panasonic flash system. When taking product photos, the flash exposures were all ...

I agree. 'Cross brand' usage can also uncover unexpected compromises. I've recently bought a Panasonic G80 and I notice that when I use it with my Olympus 45mm f1.8 with C-AF + continuous drive ...

That could be a good option for the OP until he saves for the 12-40mm.

I've used the Lumix 12-60mm on the E-m1 mk1, so I'm not sure if it would behave the same on the newer E-M5 mkII. The main issue I had was when taking product photos using flash, the image would ...

Forgot to mention 'Live view boost' which is suitable for when using manual mode.

Switch to SOVF. This simulates an optical viewfinder and gives a constant normal view - suitable for flash photography.

I think the camera is indicating that your settings result under-exposure. increase your ISO until the meter reaches zero. or change exposure by adjusting your aperture value or shutter speed.

I think the G80/G85 may have been a better compromise for the OP since the high price of the G9 was an issue.

Absolutely.

You could have got a G80/G85 for less that half the price of the G9, which produces comparable image quality. Smaller and lighter too.

I'm also not convinced that Sony are withholding technology. What I was alluding to is that perhaps Olympus would rather make as much money as possible out of using the existing sensors in their ...

I'm not convinced there's a 'significant difference' between the 16mp sensor and the 20mp sensor. High ISO comparison Exposure Latitude comparison It's hard to see any improvement in these DPReview ...
