As I understand it, you can load the 4k video footage into an editing program and extract whichever frame you wish.
I would expect about 4 stops with the GX8 and perhaps / hopefully 5 with the GX80 with Dual IS engaged - obviously it is early days with regard to the GX80 which has not yet been thoroughly or widely testedSuffering information overload at the moment after going through the manuals so a couple of questions,its hard after over 40 years shooting Nikon.
The GX8 with 4 axis in body satabilising plus the 100-400 working in dual mode how many stops would it give,then the same situation with the GX80 but with its 5 axis and the 100-400 dual mode.
Thanks

Trying to reduce the questions.
Will the GX8 run auto ISO in manual
Thanks
Hi,
Just checked - set to M and it allowed me set ISO to Auto. Tried taking a few shots and it selected different ISOs depending on light level.
Cheers.
You might find David Thorpe's guide to the GX8 menu a worthwhile investment at £3.96!Many thanks,i downloaded the manual but with out the camera in hand its not easy,
I got the G7 to use with zooms and it seems to work well with them although I'm not a great lover of the G7's grip as I find it a bit uncomfortable.
I agree - it's the only thing about the G7 I'm not keen on.Yes, I much prefer holding my G1. The G7 grip has a crease which is IMO too severe and makes it uncomfortable for me to hold.
I had in my hands a Panasonic G6 for the first time in a long while and I used to own this camera. Personally, I think they had nailed the grip on that camera and then changed it on the G7, which was unfortunate. I also used to own a GX7 too which was very comfortable too. That's something they should have kept the same for the new GX80, along with the tilting viewfinder. I'd still like to get my hands on one though and consider it as a micro four thirds alternative. For some reason, I went to Fuji, but I'm contemplating swapping back to a micro four thirds system, or maybe having both... I'm very indecisiveYes, I much prefer holding my G1. The G7 grip has a crease which is IMO too severe and makes it uncomfortable for me to hold.
You can select multiple images from the video footage. And you can do it in camera too. You don't need software on the computer to do it. i think that is now the same case for the FZ1000 too via a firmware updateYet another question i cant find the answer to,all the reviews i have seen talk about saving the best image from 4K photo mode but can you save more than 1 and do you have to do it at the time or can you sort it out when you get home.
Nice shot.
I like it, the fill flash has worked well.

The question was about 4k photo mode and not 4k video mode. Sure you can extract any frame from video. And it may be a good method to use. But I'm still curious to know about how the "4k photo" mode works.You can choose whatever frame you want using Lightroom.
When it arrives, let us know the answer about the 4k photo mode.Just thought i would pop back and say thanks for your help,the decision has been made and order placed with my local dealer,now playing the waiting game,sticking with my local shop as have bought there for over 40 years and its a trade in job,ordered the GX8 and 100-400,when i get them i will start looking for one more lens but want to limit myself to three.
