Force yourself to shoot open gate for a week and you’re not likely to go back. It takes about five minutes to get used to the frame guides and then you will always have head and foot room in the recording. It won’t come in handy every time you shoot, but it’s a margin for error that’s great to have at a minor storage increase.
PDAF 2.0, some testing on another video shows that the PDAF is better than the S5II/IIX and it's still PDAF in S&Q modes that was CDAF on the S5II/IIX as well as 1080P higher frame rates. Hopefully that fix comes as a firmware upgrade to the S5II/IIX if possible.
Guys I'm not a Panasonic user. With the C1 C2 and C3 are they available in photo and video - I can't see a photo video switch on the S9 body. Is it possible to switch saved modes in video and photo without going into the menu.
There is a photo and video switch. But to save the photo or video modes you like on the caution C dials you do have to set it up and then go into a menu system and save how you use it
@@markshirley01 correct you just have to set it up before hand and save the settings in menu system. I prefer actually though (at least for video) to save all my video settings onto (MY REC Quality) then set that to a hot key button to change extremely fast between all my video settings. Then with Creative Video Combined set I change it so my Color Profile is different between photo mode and video mode.
@@markshirley01 I actually already recorded the entire menu system set up video for this camera. It will be like an hour long, but I am just editing it down. It should be out in 2-3 weeks!
Cant you use the Ninja V to record unlimited videos?

oh 100% I shoot almost everything in Open Gate, and have been dying trying to ask Lumix for Open Gate 48fps or 60fps for my social media client work

I was excited about the S9... but I need to find gear to sell for the GH7!!!!!

@@MatthewDangyou so you can select video and C1/2/3 or photo and C1/2/3.
