Hi all,

Panasonic Singapore is kind enough to pass ClubSNAP 2 sets of GX85 + 12-32 (1 black, 1 brown) for a short handson session. Will do some A3 prints of shots taken with this camera. There will also be new Panasonic 12-60mm F3.5-5.6 G Vario weather resistant lens there

Location: ClubSNAP Gallery @ Funan #02-18
Date: Tuesday, 21st June.
Time: 630pm onwards

It's an informal session, though would be nice to know who's coming.

Managed to get the Panasonic 12mm/1.4 pre production sample for tonight as well.
Can see the real lens paired to a black and a brown GX85...However, this lens is just a pre-production sample, so the final production set may still vary. And there's no confirm lens launch date yet...

thanks for setting up the session, good camera, i managed to get 1080p 50fps footage (i'm guessing the stabilisation was turned on coz it looks good, maybe a bit too good already - the movements feel a bit like flying steadicam)

i did try to change settings and capture 4k, but can't find in my sd card, not sure what happened, card not fast enough?

If card not fast enough, usually will have an error message informing you of that. Even then, there should be a file of what was captured up till the point the card couldn't keep up, at least this was how it was with the LX100 and GH4.

A U3 card is recommended as what is needed here is the guaranteed minimum rate, although some have apparently gotten by with very fast U1 cards.

write speed of this card is around 50mb/s.

Most likely, since there's no file at all. Not just you, I've had it happen when I'm not paying attention to make sure the recording started, esp if using the red video button instead of the shutter button, cos it's smaller and recessed.
 

Hi, is this camera available in SG?
Cos I saw the model listed on SG Panasonic web.
 

Apparently not yet. I called TKfoto yesterday and they said no idea when it's coming yet.
 

Cathay also awaiting Panasonic Singapore to release
