Thanks for this instructional video Matti. I just bought a G9 +12-60 & 8-18mm lenses and so far I am delighted with the build quality, intuitive user interface, myriad of features and functions as well as the IQ. It's a quantum leap from my G85 but it's also much bigger and heavier.
You'll probably laugh, but I finally figured out that the reason my cat kept trying to paw my G9 when I was trying to take photos of her is that I had forgotten to turn off the AF assist lamp! Thanks for the suggestions.
Getting my G9 tomorrow. Looking forward to trying it out! Getting a little fed up of Sony Alphas colour, so thought I'd try something different. Wish me luck :)
Hi Matti. Enjoying your videos greatly, having my G9 from new since Nov. '19. Could you possibly post a video on how to correctly expose for VLOGL as it's a bit technical and bewildering? I, and others I'm sure, would be very grateful. Many thanks and keep up the good work. Stay safe!
Thanks for a great video. I like your photographs very much. Do you have a web site where I can see more of your work? By the way, I'm surprised that you only shot in RAW format. Lumix has some wonderful JPEG picture styles. I particularly like L mono. I use it in bright sunlight and the results look like T Max 100 film, very lovely indeed. M4T and Fuji are creating a renaissance in JPEG shooting. What is your opinion of this. I shot in RAW with Canon for about 10 years. I bought my G85 because of the wonderful JPEG images, especially L mono.
You are right. Olympus also has great jpeg presets. I have grown tired of all the processing of the raw files. When I shoot my Canon 5d iii I still shoot raw howver.
Thanks. I find that I always have to do something in post to get what I want, so I might as well shoot RAW and also the post processing is not a drag for me, I like it. I have a web site, but I'm ashamed to admit that it's lagging behind. But now that you asked, I have a good reason to update the site. However, if you are interested go here: sulanto.fi
Goodmorning Matti, where can I find the setting for the autofocus assist beam or light to set this off on my new G90. I have spend several hours but can not find it ( must be easy I think). Thanks in advance.
Thanks! Shooting RAW it doesn't matter, but shooting JPEG it matters and I recommend using sRGB for online publishing and Adobe RGB for print. I just have the Adobe RGB on, because I used to shoot a lot for print, but as I shoot RAW it really doesn't matter.
@@mattisulanto Old as in this video is old and possibly outdated now... I apologize if my thought process here is incorrect. You've gone through and turned off all the beeps individually, right? Does initiating silent mode not just do that automatically without having to turn each function off individually? I think you mentioned something about silent mode making things perform differently, so perhaps that's where your logic comes from.
@@sklba632 The silent mode turns on the electronic shutter and that is not ideal in many situations. If you turn off the beeps you'll make sure that they are off no matter which way you use the camera.
Thanks for tips. I try to find option to disable or change settings for uploading image via Wifi by press down arrow in preview. This is obsolete function but can`t by disabled or changed?
I have a project of photographing bikers at night , and i am intending using my G9 any suggestions on the ISO, settings and flash usage as well as the composing the images... this will be put latter in a book as well as A3+ sizes of prints ...Thanks
Well, it's hard to say anything, because I don't know what kind pictures you intend to make. If you have a project and you are serious about it, I suggest you do some research and take some test shots in similar conditions you'll be shooting your project. Try different settings and see what comes out and what looks best to you. Also, make some test prints of your test shots, so you'll see how they look. It's worth it to test a bit before starting a project and you'll learn something too.
do you know how to add the metering for exposure on the screen? I have the G100. i know how to do it on my canon and olympus cameras but cant figure this one out
Press the info/disp button until you see what you want. I don't use Lumix any more so I don't remember exactly. You can also google or read the manual and that may help.
Hello Matti, I'm an Olympus shooter, but I'm looking for another M43 body with a better C-AF and Tracking AF performance and also good video specs. I'm trying to decide between the E-M1 II and the G9, but It's such a tough choice because the G9 looks an amazing camera! I'm more focused on the Lumix because it has awesome video, but I have doubts regarding the C-AF and Tracking AF, especially with Olympus glass because almost all my lenses are Oly. So my main question is how does the G9 (with firmware 2.0) holds with Oly lenses against the E-M1 II? Thank you in advance. Regards, Bruno.
Great video -(interesting that you have the histogram disabled in your settings or is constant preview good enough not to need a histogram? ) - also is there a way to increase font size on the flip out screen for those of us that are optically challenged ? One final question Mr. Ambassador - your hand strap looks awesome -where could I purchase one. Many thanks in advance :-)
Thanks! I'm using the zebra to get the exposure right. As fas I know, there's no option to change to font size. May daughter made the strap and I'd have ask her, if she's willing to make more😀
May I ask you a question ? I generally use my G9 screen closed. In this case I take my pictures through the viewfinder of course. When I open the screen, I can see with it. All is normal. But if I open the screen and want to look through the viewfinder, the viewfinder stays black. Do you know how to set the camera to switch from one to the other automatically when I look in the viewfinder with the screen opened ? Thanks a lot.
You can choose how the eye sensor works. The function is on the Fn3 button by default. You can also go to menu > custom spanner > eye sensor, which is on the third page (3/5)
@@mattisulanto Thanks a lot. It seems that the optical cell was a bit dirty and didn't work well. I've cleaned it up and It's ok now thanks to your advice.
If you mean the Fn1 button default function the answer is yes. Just hold any of the Fn buttons down for a few seconds and the menu pops up and you can select the function.
I've seen alot of videos where people have those big black flaps on their computer screen, does that really help? I just turn off the lights in my room
The hood came with the monitor and at first I didn't put it on, because I was a bit sceptical. However, I have a window next to my screen and I don't want to darken the window and I find the hood really helps there. But if you work in the dark I think it wouldn't help, because there is no stray light.
I really can't say about the prices, especially used prices, because it depends on so many things. I think usually a used camera price should be about 50-70% of the price of the similar new camera.
Hi Matti, my settings in my g9 keep resetting to default settings after I turn it off, I would like to add your settings but it won't let me. Is there a save button or something? Cheers :)
I don't understand. Your settings are saved, if you press the menu/set button after every time you make a selection. In the menu there is an option to save the settings on the card.
Thanks for the tips Matti. I wonder if you could do more detailed video just on auto ISO Min shutter speed. I watched this explanation from sony ambassador Mark Galer - th-cam.com/video/gqqmqKFzHRg/w-d-xo.html and he goes into great detail on the subject. Does G9 mimic the behaviour described in his video?

Great tips. Thank you. Just bought G9. Still learning.
Thanks so much for the video. I appreciate you doing the video in a second language, I'm sure that makes it much harder!
Your videos are very helpful to me. I learned much more from them than from the camera manual. Keep up the good work sir! 👍
Thank you!
That camera lens cap flick at the beginning- well played sir 👏
Thanks!
You'll probably laugh, but I finally figured out that the reason my cat kept trying to paw my G9 when I was trying to take photos of her is that I had forgotten to turn off the AF assist lamp! Thanks for the suggestions.
That was pretty funny, but we all make simple and a bit embarrassing mistakes sometime😀
Thank you... specially constant preview....
You're most welcome!
I like your opening and closing special effects!
Thanks!

Thank you!

Where can I get a leather cuff like that?? Absolutely gorgeous.
That one is custom made by my daughter😀

Hi Sulanto, nice post. I noticed hat you set your colour space to Adobe rather than SRGB. What is the benefit for you in doing that?
Thanks! Shooting RAW it doesn't matter, but shooting JPEG it matters and I recommend using sRGB for online publishing and Adobe RGB for print. I just have the Adobe RGB on, because I used to shoot a lot for print, but as I shoot RAW it really doesn't matter.
@@mattisulanto Thanks for the reply.
I'm sure this is old, but would turning silent mode on and off be more effective than turning off the beeps?
I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean.

hi Matti, I somehow can not see exposure compensation when I check info for any photography. thank you.
How do you check the info? On camera or on computer?
@@mattisulanto I check on both actually. thank you.
@@arifkizilay When you view your photos on camera, press the disp button and you'll see it.
@@mattisulanto Sorry bu no, which photograph I check the exposure compensation is always zero.
