Here is what Standard default looks like on a sunny day (NR -2):
To me, that's what I saw, and what I wanted to convey.
If you want something unrealistic with a "look" then you may want to use Natural as a base. But it is not at all clear whether you should also drastically reduce contrast, saturation and sharpness in the camera when you shoot, since altering those in post forces you do it on a highly compressed, 4:2:0 8-bit video. Camera settings, however, are invoked prior to compression.
I think you should get the look you want in the camera (whatever that is), but others seem to want to do more in post based on severely altered from normal settings in the camera. Why not try to get the camera to produce the look you want (there are lots of controls), and then tweak in post from there, rather than trying to get a "blank slate" out of the camera that needs a lot of work in post? No flat setting really mimics RAW video. In any case I am not advocating your videos should look like the one I posted; it is just an example of what one setting produces.

I see DXOMark has reviewed the GX80 now - looks good to me

similar DR to the APS-C sensor in my Nex 5n - which matches my qualitative views from the photos I've taken so far
Bought a Hoya Pro ND16 filter the other day - what a difference it makes to the video quality
I've seen a few complaints around various forums about the Dynamic Range on the GX80 in video - I'm surprised

thanks for settings and process you used markr041 - very impressive
have to say - looking through pictures I took of my kids over weekend - this sensor seems to take some of the highest detail photos I've had from any camera (and I've owned a good cameras, including 4 DSLRs) - if this is partly due to no AA filter - I know what is on top list of features when I buy my next camera
100% ish crop - with minor sharpening in PP.  This is with the 14-140 II .... - not bad really !
 

whatever sensor it is - I'm very impressed with it
pin "sharp", decent DR, and great colours

nice video - impressive demo of the IBIS !
I was expecting video to be good - and it is
but the stills have caught me out - I'm getting really nice sharp photos from my 14-140 II - wheras previously I was always disappointed with my G6
this is just a "snap" in the garden - but the camera and lens has done great I think
 

I was very doubtful ref my commitment to M4/3s after the G6 - useability great - but photo quality - wasn't convinced with - just didn't like the output much, dull, seemingly not great DR, and files didn't seem to like much post-processing Lightroom
GX80 was cheap enough to take a punt on - at a minimum would make a great video recorder
But .. GX80 from initial tests seems much better photo wise vs my G6 - photo ouput seems very similar in IQ to my Nex 5n - and that is a VERY good thing - the sensor to me seems much much improved

ok ok - maybe I'll give the 12-32 a chance then ! cheers
it seems near silent with it's OIS at least - unlike my 14-140 II - so may get around the annoyance I have of very loud background noise when taking video with the 14-140 ...

fuzzynormal- thanks very much for taking the time to reply - useful tips/workflow
Tested the GX80 photo wise out today - and its impressive, I seem to be getting much sharper shots out of my 14-140 II - not sure if it is the extra steps of IS (probably), lack of shutter shock, or better sensor, but overall the IQ is noticeably better
the images seem nicer colour depth and DR wise than my G6 - very noticeably so.  The output from the GX80 reminds me of my Nex 5n - which is a good thing.  Previously when out shooting with the 5n and the G6 - the G6 photos were noticeably "duller" - just something about them seemed flat - and they didn't like much post-processing (probably lack of DR)

true thanks
I've just come back from a day out with the kids - party, dry ski slope tubing
cannot believe how much better video is with the GX80 vs my G6 - obviously 4k vs 1080p, but that aside, the overall quality seems better, and what a difference the extra stabilisation makes, makes the videos seem far easier on the eyes to watch - no constant jiggling
it even coped with me taking a video from one tube to my daughters, whilst zooming down the ski slope
that video looks smoother than ones I've taken with the G6 just standing !
very impressed - great little camera

took a few pics - late at night here - took a few videos - image and video stabilisation works incredibly well I'm very very impressed
only big BUT at the moment -is currently audio is a bit unusable - I could hear fan noise when I took a video of my daughter - couldn't work out what it was (pretty loud and very obvious) - its the noise of the OIS in the 14-140 which is only a cm or so from the microphones on the GX80 .....
mmm

well size caught me out (no local shops had one to demo)
after thinking grip way too small - putting a finger underneath and all good
build quality seems better than my G6
EVF "OK" - useable - no real issues

Javier lovely video - nice one
thanks for taking the time to share settings - I'll give them a go when I get to try my new GX80 out
btw - your English is excellent - no need to apologise !

my GX80 arrived an hour ago - looking forward to giving it a whirl
GX80 + 12-32 but will probably ditch the 12-32 as have a 14-140 II
had one of UK stores match the £499 price for kit package so pretty happy - as after cashback means £450 - which including the 12-32 seemed good value to me

I'd have been tempted with a GX8 as I like the form and fit - it feels nice in the hand
BUT I get absolutely fed up with having to consider shutter shock all the time on my G6 (with my 14-140 MKII)
add the built in IS and its a no brainer
