User questions & answers

Question:	My digital camera has a delay between pushing the shutter button and the photo actually being snapped. What is the response time of this camera
Answer:	Yes
Question:	does it come with lens cover
Answer:	If you are vloging no because the screen doesn’t flip back for you to see yourself and if you want good sound no because no audio port but it’s good otherwise
Question:	Is this camera good in low light situations
Answer:	It's fine for nature, sunsets and landscapes. It's not good for sports, because it only shoots 3 frames per second doesn't have the best lens for sports. It would do OK for sports outside in full sun, but you might want to get the kit that has the 70-300mm lens. It will do badly at indoor sports events.
Question:	Can you take close up macro shots with this camera
Answer:	yes it comes with both

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it have slow motion mode
Answer:	Any camera that can shoot 60fps can achieve that smooth slow motion you’re looking for if you edit it in 24fps in your editing software and slow down your footage by 40%. Make sure your shutter speed is 60 at the lowest (ideally 120 or faster)
Question:	I bought the G7 with 14-42mm kit lens. Images are great but there's a substantial amount of vignetting effect. Are there any solutions to this
Answer:	Vignetting can naturally occur in all lenses, or can be caused or intensified due to use of external tools such as filters, filter holders and lens hoods. You did not say if you used the flash, this can sometimes throw a shadow caused by the lens hood. Also if you're trying to take pictures at the "short" end 14mm you might remove the hood to see if that helps.
Question:	is this the american version
Answer:	All of these should be the version sold in the US unless they say otherwise.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does anyone knows the minimal focus distance on this camera? thanks
Answer:	Depends on the lens you use. The kit lens (12-32MM) = 0.2m/0.66ft on the wide end to 0.3m/0.98ft at tele
Question:	Are panasonic dmw-ble9 batteries compatible with the gx
Answer:	Andrew Lossing is correct. I use the BLE-9PP (from the LX100) as a second battery and it works fine with the GX85 though its power rating is slightly lower than the BLE-10 (940 mAh vs. 1025 mAh)
Question:	Does this have a silent shutter (electronic only) mode
Answer:	Yes. The shutters' sound is customizable and can be turned off .
Question:	Does anyone have samples of the audio during video? I'm concerned with the quality of audio this camera produces since there is no mic port
Answer:	The GX85 is an amazing "still" camera but if you are planning using it for its video capabilities I'd get the Panasonic G7 which is identical in performance but geared towards a videographer, due to it having a external mic port and a articulating screen that allows you to see yourself when in from of the cam. Not too mention it's cheaper.

User questions & answers

Question:	I want to record my band can I record audio too off my mixerboard
Answer:	I had terrible results with that. I am using a Yamaha mixer straight into the camera. I am recording loud electric guitars. The VU meter on the camera is so crude as to be pretty useless. No matter how I set the VU meter or the master on the mixer, the audio would come out distorted badly. Nothing I tried worked. That was my main reason for buying the camera was to use a mixer to use two mics to record a speaker cab. I sent the camera back, the results were just too crude and useless. I ended up buying an upscale Panasonic UX180 that has stereo XLR inputs, a fully manageable recording system in camera with separate audio dials for each channel. My mixer works perfectly with it so I get video and audio on my SD cards to dump straight into Final Cut ProX, works like a dream. I simply could not find another camera that had professional audio recording capabilities using a mixer. I tried a budget JBC pro camcorder, what a horrible piece of junk, the view finder was completely worthless, image quality was terrible, the UX180 is a big camera with big pro features, worth every penny I paid for it. The V770 is a great camera on its own, but dumping audio into, was a huge fail for me, with no work around.
Question:	What the frame rate
Answer:	Max240
Question:	Is power supplied through the mic input, to operate a mic with out a battery? Or would you have to buy a mic with a built in power source
Answer:	The built in mic is excellent. That said, if you want an external mic, I'd suggest one like the Rode VideoMic. You have to supply your own power, there is no phantom power.
Question:	Does it have a jack for an external microphone
Answer:	Yes it does. External Microphone. Another for external headphones. It also has an external hot shoe for boom mic or lighting.
