I have the AX100 and RX10 II, the AF on the RX10 IMO is not up to the standard of the AX100, I have had problems with hunting etc, with the AX100 it's pretty much bang on all the time, I rely on AF as I am crap with manual focus and the eyesight aint so good nowadays, just my opinion

You can but not in 4K, or at least not been able to so far, I have mine set up to capture stills in normal HD you just hold the shutter button and it says capture on the screen, you have to enable it in the menu

​Some good advice many thanks

​Thanks I'll look into them

​Thanks for your nput Nick

​Thank you

Thanks, I guess adding motion is my priority at present, being able to move around objects and people, I tried just handholding my Camera but the results were not great.

I am pretty new to video and on a rather large learning curve at present. I will be shooting mainly family events personal projects and a few weddings etc. I own an LX100, G6 and GX7 at present, I am slowly building my experience and kit and would like to add some stabilisation to my shoots outdoors What type of Rig as in flycam/steadycam would you guys recommend for my outfit that is not to bulky or complex to set up. Or should I just get an EM5 mk 11 Thanks for any help.

Thanks great feedback

Thanks for the feedback, I am really looking for decent stabilisation for static hand held shooting, it would seem my choices are G6 with 12/35 which has superior Video or OMD which stabilises all lenses but at a reduced Video quality.

Thanks for the feedback useful info.

Thanks for the replies, the 12/35 costs around £800, if I went for a G6 that's £1200 EM10 under £600, EM1 body £1250 then the lenses on top of that. Neither sways me either way at present

I am mainly a stills shooter but want to add some Video to my skill set which will mainly be used for family events, Grandchildren growing up, small documentary's of days out etc. I am not looking to use tripods, rigs etc so want a system that has some stabilisation in either lenses or body. I have been around the houses on this considering Olympus (EM1-EM10) for it's excellent stabilisation, to Panasonic (G6-GH3-GH4) with stabilised lenses such as 12/35. I am familiar with M4/3 What else if any should I be considering for good quality footage preferably the ability to do some slow motion with the ability to stabilise footage in Camera or lens. Any help appreciated. Phil

Thanks for the feedback, I was planning on only using the recorder with a view to add the sound into a stills slide show.

Thanks for the reply, it will not be a one off, it will be something I intend to use now and again, budget not in stone either.

I am shooting a family Christening soon and have been asked to shoot some stills and video of the day to produce a DVD for all the family and relatives. I am looking to use an external Audio recorder for the service which will be a totally new venture for me. I have been recommended a Zoom H1 as a reasonably priced Audio recorder. Will this meet my needs or are there any other alternatives that won't break the bank? Many thanks Phil

Thanks for the help   How much initial footage generally would you take to edit down in post

Having only a few weeks ago decided to get into Videography after being a stills only shooter for many years I have been trying to get up to speed with everything involved in Video, which is way more that I ever imagined   So here I am armed with a GH3 and an EM1 (arriving soon) a good selection of lenses. 2.8 zooms and fast primes.     I am going to shoot my step Daughters 21st Party in approx. 3 weeks time using a mixture of stills and Video   So can anyone give any help up front about planning the shoot.   I would like to end up with a reasonable DVD to give out to family and friends   How much footage should I be aiming for, what will be the best settings for the GH3   etc, etc   Any help/guidance appreciated   Phil

Great help, thanks guys   Phil

Thanks Please excuse me I am a total novice here lol.   So how many frames would you take for 1 minute of footage he has here, I am guessing 300 to 400   as for putting it together in post, are you importing the images and setting a frame rate   sorry if these are daft questions

I like this but how would it have been done   http://vimeo.com/77150502  

I'll be using a GH3 and EM1, thanks for this it looks reasonably priced as well.   Phil

Thanks for your feedback   As a beginner I wasn't really looking to use an external audio recorder at this point.   I was wondering if a third party mic that fits onto the hot shoe is a decent improvement over the built in mic.

I am in the early stages of learning Video (very early)   I have just upgraded my EM5 to an EM1 I am also in the throws of trying out a GX7 as my second body.    However, I have noticed in my initial footage of family stuff that the sound is a little tinny and there appears to be quite a bit of background noise.     Now I presume some of this can be improved in post, however I have the option of exchanging the GX7 for either a G6 or GH3 which I understand have external mic options. Is this going to be worthwhile option for me   Thanks  Phil

Thanks again guys
