I've been asked by Private Message regarding using the higher ISO's in recording.
Ordinarily, the extended ISOs are for stills only but there is a way round it for G7 owners at least.
On the GX80 it is always clamped at 6400 irrespective, so when you go into video mode it will always revert to this setting if you have an ISO set above that.
On the G7 however, if I instigate the recording with my controller then I can then change it beyond 6400 and it will accept it.
I have a trick with the hardware controller so that when you put it in record it re-sends the currently set ISO so if you have it on 12800 on the controller it will record a tiny fragment at 6400 but then switch to the 12800
If you want to try this manually you can by just putting your G7 in record at 6400 and sending the higher ISO command form a browser.
My feeling is that this will probably work for other cameras too (except the GX80 where it definitely doesn't) so if you can test it and let people know that would be great.
With regard to asking questions by Private Message - and please do not take this the wrong way as I'm really pleased this has sparked so much interest - but can I just ask that people put them in here instead, as to me this should very much be a community project so everyone will benefit from the shared information and there is a much broader range of model variants represented here that people can share the testing on as well.
