GH4 Footage Questions

Hello all,

 

First time poster here, and am inquiring about an issue I'm having with my Panasonic GH4. I just got this camera yesterday and love everything about it so far. The clarity, sharpness, 4K image quality, slow-mo, etc. It's a fantastic camera.

 

Unfortunately, however, I'm getting some mushy / jello footage every now and then when filming at long distances. I attached a private Vimeo video with examples. 

 

I don't know if it's a lens issue, card issue, or what? It's frustrating, because it's not noticeable until I watch the footage on my computer. The shot with the doe and two fawns I was particularly excited about, but obviously it's not usable. I'm shooting with a Panasonic Lumix G 14-140 lens and the mushy shots are all at full zoom.

 

What's confusing and frustrating is it doesn't do it every shot. Note the first two clips are mushy, yet the third clip of the buck in the field is not. The image is shaky, but that's because I was hand holding it. Strangely, the first two shots were on a tripod.

I haven't tried it without the OIS off, so I'll give that a shot and see if it helps.  If the image is shaky, I guess I can just warp stabilizer it in PP.  Still, the OIS is pretty good on this lens and obviously very helpful, I hate to turn it off for a problem that may or may not occur, and even worse, I don't even know what the cause is!

 

Yep, it's only with this lens, and only at that focal length (140mm) as it's the only M4/3 lens I have.  It's not the best or most expensive glass, but it's otherwise been a good compromise for my shooting.
