HI! Just got a gh3, still adjusting it to my liking, but I've been noticing that during video mode, it will adjust the exposure by a few stops depending on where I point the camera to. If I am recording a well lit area then quickly pan to a not so well lit area, it will adjust the aperture automatically by a few stops. Is there any way to turn this off? I already have it on Manual Exposure, but it still seems to do it, and I don't see anything in the manual or on the menu options.

Thanks!
 
Make sure you have the mode dial on top of the camera turned to the "Creative Video Mode" the icon that has a "m" and a camera icon beside it.
Its important that you only use that mode for shooting video.
 
Setting the dial on top to "M" for manual applies ONLY to still photography. But with the dial on top set to the "movie cam icon with an 'M' ", go to the "motion picture" menu and the 4th item down is EXPOSURE MODE. Choices are P, A, S, M; Set this to "M" for manual. You have just set your "motion picture" mode and this will "lock" exposure so panning to different lighting will not change your exposure. This is for motion picture mode and will not affect still photo mode.

One more thing needs to be done. On the next menu down (Custom: Blue "C" with a wrench icon) go to the 4th screen and set CONSTANT PREVUE to "ON". The LCD and viewfinder will now darken with underexposure and lighten with over exposure. CONSTANT PREVUE "ON" will work this way both in manual motion picture mode and in manual still mode (dial on top set to "M").

This should do what you want.
 
Thanks! Made the changes to the Constant Prevue, I had the exposure Mode set to M already, but for some reason its working now.
