Panasonic Post Focus Demonstration – Capture and focus adjustment

If you happen tow own the GX8,G7 or FZ300 camera than the new firmware update will allow you to use the new Post Focus feature. Dpreview tested it and writes:

This is a pretty impressive piece of technology, and it certainly does exactly what Panasonic says it will. But in reality, Panasonic is one of the least in need of a don’t-miss-the-subject focus bracketing feature, as it already offers a highly accurate autofocus system with very capable AF tracking.
It is true that many of us are keen to have pictures with more than 8MP in them, but on holiday and snapshot occasions eight is often more than we really need. For occasions that require larger images we’ll just have to wait for the arrival of 8K Raw video in this camera line. I’m not sure that the Post Focus feature will be something people buy Lumix cameras especially to get, but alongside the 4K Photo 30fps stills mode, it is another clever side benefit of having high resolution video.

Sm.art.graphicstudio sent me this comparison between the soon ot be released new Olympus 300mm MFT lens and the [shoplink 56759 ebay]7500 Euro expensive Canon 400mm lens[/shoplink].

Thanks!

As you know the new Leica SL Full Frame mirrorless system camera has been made with lot of Panasonic tech inside. It even uses Panasonic’s own V-LOG profile. But it seems Leica didn’t implement it well. Newsshooter reports:

Log curves are supposed to be flat, but it seems the Leica version was so flat that it makes grading difficult, perhaps impossible.

And EosHD writes:

I first noticed it with the lens cap on that the blacks in LOG mode seem to start around 100 on the 0-255 luma range. This makes the footage essentially un-gradable, severely limits dynamic range and is an obvious flaw. Who does Leica have testing the video features!?

So this doesn’t seem to work as smooth as a “Full Frame GH4” yet :(
