AF Tests with the GH4 with Firmware 2.0 from Eric Cote on Vimeo.
Eric Cote posted some early GH4 2.0 firmware testing results at Mirrorlessjourney.com. The video on top for example shows Improved performance of 1-area AF in video recording:
I ran some tests with the Panasonic 20mm f/1.7 open at f/2 to stress it. Well, I can’t say how it was before but I can say it is still far from perfect or even usable. It still hunts a lot and have some trouble following even when moving slowly. In 4K, it seems to hunt even more back and forth. I will still use manual focus with the focus peaking.
Thanks Eric!
