Any improvement about the motion timelapse function??
What is the present situation with Follow Focus and GH5? Is it working with new GH5 firmware? If not, is there any hope in near future to get it fixed?
Does it have the same issues like cannot be folded when balanced or base plate hit pan motor in some angles?
@Vitaliy_Kiselev I don't know why not but Canon has had this capability a long time. Guess someone with connections needs to ask Panasonic.
I keep thining USB follow focus might be possible on the GH5 once tethering support arrives with firmware 2 as this is how they access focus on many other brands. We don't know its limitations yet though.
Well, why not?
JTZ seems to allow only AF toggle, but power zooms work ok. And I am sure they will make focusing work. We have here on PV topics about control of Panasonic cameras.
