The GH6

I don’t use lenses with IS and I find the ibis produces very natural looking stabilisation especially handheld. The ibis is really excellent I don’t feel the need for more unless it’s super telephoto
 
Is it just my settings or has the touch focus on the GH6 changed from GH5 etc. It used to be that I could touch the LCD where I wanted to focus and it would focus. Now it appears that after selecting the area I have to press either the AF soft button bottom right of LCD or the actual AF button on the camera. Have I missed a setting to get it back to the way it used to be.

I was playing with this last night and my camera is the same. I move the box to where i want the camera to focus and nothing happens unless i touch the focus button on screen or on camera body. At least that's how it works in manual focus. Interestingly, it focuses in C and S autofocus modes as you would expect. I find this really strange, as that is how i would expect it to act only in manual mode. Seems to me this may be a bug that needs fixing in firmware.
 
Yes I hope they fix this too. Now I know I can manage but different to how I worked before with the GH5 and GH5S
 
I am looking for an upgrade for my Lumix camera's.
How much GB's consumes the GH6, how much video on a 64GB card? (best video settings 5.7K Prores)??
 
How much data on a card depends on what format you choose. So you can work it out from data rates given. For ProRes there are currently only two choices. 422 or 422HQ. It uses a lot of card. On my GH6 it indicates 53min on a 512G CFExpress card and 35min for 422HQ for 5.7K. For 4K 422 10-L the card can record 5 hours and 40 mins. So I do not think I will be recording ProRes. I have a Ninja V anyway so no need to record internally as I can have backup recording too. As to settings you have to decide how you want to expose and edit. All the picture profiles are there. It also gets hot using this as the CFExpress card gets hot at these data rates too.
 
I've been using a V60 II Lexar card of 4K 10bit 422.. I get about 30 minutes on a 128 GB card Work good. My 128GB CFExpress will get get 42 minutes.

Asking how long is a bit like asking how long is a piece of string. The GH6 can record ProRes at 1.9Gbps as well as mp4 at 20Mbps huge difference in memory used. That is about 35 min of ProRes on a 512G CFExpress card or with MP4 30P HD at 20Mbps it is 53 hours !!

I've been using .mov.
 
If I record 100% in 24p, should I change the System Frequency to 24.00Hz (cinema)? Does it have to be NTSC to be broadcast etc?

If you want true 24p (as opposed to 23.98p) then yes, system frequency has to be changed. From my understanding once you do that the NTSC standard becomes irrelevant. You might want to stay with 23.98 if you are doing a lot of broadcast work.
