Morning all. Long time Canon user - my goto kit for motorsport is an 80d with a 70-300L mounted. Have been using the L for several years on different Canon bodies and concentrate mainly on panning shots.
Have recently acquired a Panasonic G80 and would like to give it a go the next time I am at Silverstone. Even though I have read numerous posts (multiple forums) about the differences/difficulities in panning EVF v OVF, I'm wondering if any fellow TP members can offer any first hand experience of what I'm up against and any tips for making the EVF work - particulary when slow panning. I guess my main concern is EVF "black out" and how to continue tracking the cars moving across my field of view.
I did read one suggestion about filming in 4k and then "lifting" still frames from the footage, but that really isn't what I want to do. Also, i often shoot 1/30 and slower which isn't going to play nicely with video "shutter speeds".
Many thanks.
