Thanks for watching! 👍🏻 UPDATE: Keep in mind that I did run those tests with the 24-105mm f4 (slow lens), that was the only AF lens I had back then. With faster apertures, like with the F1.8/F2 lenses, the AF is okish if there's enough light. Often the AF can't follow the subject when the depth of field is too narrow (tested on the first generation of Lumix S cameras). I don't know anything about the AF performances of the S5 Mark II and IIx.

thanks i'll try that to my S1H with canon 24-105lens with adapter. i been having problem with the focusing lately. but the latest update of firmware they have is since July 2022. hope they have new update. i'll try to buy 1 Leica lens for this S1H hope the result is much better. thanks again.

We're using an S1H for a big, long doc, and this tweak means I can do the one-man-band thing with confidence. Once the focus is locked in, it stays. There was one guy we interviewed recently who really put this to the test... .always moving and turning his head, tons of back and forth... and while the focus lost him at times... it's always returned, and still nearly 95% of the interview is usable. I'm using speed 0, and sensitivity -3. Grazie di cuore... e ciao dal nord (veneto)!

He did it!, He just did it! 😎 Hmmm, the user manual and the instructional videos from Panasonic suggest that the box being yellow is enough to have focus locked, but as you said, the yellow box can also have these small additional lines, suggesting it went into yet another state (white, yellow, yellow with extra yellow bits). I'm sure Panasonic's engineers are highly capable, but somewhere between designing all this and writing user instructions, things get lost. Possibly also because the functionality only gets more complicated with each new generation without ever removing rarely used or outdated functionality.

I shoot V-Log, 4K, (ALL-I 600Mbps), 10bit, 4:2:2, 50p and I'd like to ask 2 questions please: 1) I put the level on AFC. I would like to use AF in everyday life. It annoys me when he occasionally stutters to seek focus. How would you configure Sensitivity and Speed? 2) When I go to Menu/AF Mode and use "Full Area", why do I have to use the focus handle like when I use "1 Area"? Thanks for your advice.

Luca - Wow - no one else has picked this up - Lumix is an often maligned brand because of autofocus but a lot of times it’s user error and not understanding how these cameras operate - early focus modes where mostly aligned to photography especially the AFF and AFC - with AFC noted in the manual as being for video - now with the gh6 we have a more video focused product with only 3 modes with AFF being removed which is why it perhaps doesn’t perform as well in fast action photography - just subscribed to your channel cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

@Dan Correia no - there doesn’t seem to be a way to lock in tracking when using face detect. It just does the regular face tracking. And once the regular tracking mode is engaged, it works as usual. So, in effect - these are just the regular modes on the GH5 and the autofocus is its usual unreliable self. What a lot of commenters on here are suggesting with the micro 4/3 cameras appears to me to just be engaging the regular face or object tracking modes. The S series may be different as Luca demonstrated.

The camera conspiracies guy talks about the Panny ‘tap to focus’ trick all the time, but you explained it better I think! Still I see some out of focus moments and pulsing at times…but you did say ‘good autofocus’ not ‘great like Canon or Sony’ haha. It’s too bad too- as a manual focusing S1H owner, I think Panasonic’s cameras would be the best on the market if they would just get on the phase detect train!

Ok, if I got it right, you mean you touch the where you want to focus the subject to track. To focus seems like that's what it is. If so this doe snot seem to be an issue, simple to do do ths ton my phone alot.

I have an S1 and this works but I have trouble regaining focus after person left frame and came back. Does it help using the joystick? Do you always need to confirm by touchscreen?

@LucaBono.Studio 3 ай бұрын

Now that I had some fast lumix s lenses and Sigma 24-70. With Sigma I see that the AF is struggling in a situation like you say. The easiest ways, will be to half press the shutter and manual focus a bit to help the AF. Cheers!

I just got the S5 today. But, I am trying the joystick approach and it just creates a box with arrows on the sides. What function do you set the joystick to? In the menu, there are four settings for the joystick. 1. Defocus Movement - (which pops up the box with arrows.) 2. Fn 3. Menu 4. OFF Which setting do I use to get the lines on each side to "lock" the AF?

@@LucaBono.Studio I found that when I use AF in the Tracking mode, that I got those lines. I shot a test with Tracking, and there was very little pulsing in the background bokeh. I will post my experience in the coming days on my channel. It seems that Panasonic may have finally solved the AF. Although, like many others, I would like them to look into pursuing Phase Detection AF as we find in Sony and Canon cameras. PDAF is the most consistent AF I've seen. I actually have the Sony ZV-1 which I use on some of my KZfaq reviews, etc. The AF is spot on. Thanks again for this video.

Ciao Luca, innanzitutto grazie per i video che fai, sono una bomba per chi ha Panasonic, soprattutto per me che ho comprato la S1 da pochissimo. Volevo chiederti una informazione, dato che non riesco a confermare il "target" premendo il joystick. In che modalità usi questo trick? Perchè ho provato in 1 area con rilevamento volto/animale ma non funziona, 225 aree nemmeno, solo in AF tracking appare il target come nella tua spiegazione, ma non credo tu ti riferisca alla stessa cosa. Grazie in anticipo per l'attenzione e scusa il disturbo!

Please please confirm.. DOES THIS WORK WITH EF GLASS VIA THE SIGMA MC21 EF-L MOUNT? I have both the S1H and S5.. with a range of Sigma ART glass.. (I know.. I know.. I bought into the Sigma EF glass as; 1: I got the S1H early when the L glass wasn't easily available and too expensive. 2: My other stills camera is a Canon.? Auto focusing on the Lumix S cameras is HELL! via the EF - L mount. PLUS in record the focus assist (zoom in) doesn't work on camera.. so using my ext monitor to check focus is equally hard as it's HDMI connection for Panasonic is lame and painfully delayed.. racking focus LIVE is near impossible. So again.. does this auto focus setting work for EF glass via a Sigma MC21 EF-L mount???

Hey mate! Sorry but I've no clue about it...I don't have the Sigma MC21 or Canon lenses. I think you should buy a true manual focus lens, so you can train the muscle memory of focus pulling. Cheers!

I'm surprised nobody knew that. Although I didn't know I could confirm it with just a joystick button thats pretty cool. I still have mixed results even with AF Confirm. If you're planning to using it as a vlog camera when you're always looking directly towards the lens the performance seems fine. However, when I used them at weddings and interviews where the subject isn't always looking at the camera and a lot of head movement I still get focus hunting, unfortunately. I still enjoy using my camera but the autofocus is still not that great for certain situations.

Hey Michael thank you for watching! I've uploaded another video with more samples, where I constantly confirm the subject tracking when the camera loses the subject... it's far to be perfect but I find it usable.
