Panasonic GHM2 Flash Issues

Just wanted to make everyone aware that the DMW-FL70 miniflash no longer works with the GH5M2 and therefore you need a trigger

I have tried the Nauticam trigger with both my Inon and Sea and Sea and it works fine all the way to 1/400

No idea about TTL triggers etc but I think they will work

I have logged the issue with panasonic as I think this is software related but I am not sure I will have any joy

As far I understand you have the camera.

Is it true that in auto iso mode it displays the current iso value?

Do you find it is a step up from GH5?

Thanks

Yes, and this is a step up for me, as well as the autofocus. This is slightly better.

I still have to try it in the water. I guess there won't be much of a difference in image quality, than 4K 60p 10 bit in camera instead of on my atomos.

The FL70 not working on the other hand is a real bummer. I guess it is not only software, as this flash needs power. The only flashes mentioned in the manual do not. So maybe it is a hardware issue.

Thanks, given that internally it's similar to a S5 I hope they solved the AF-Lock issue when coupled with an external monitor.

This issue is new to me. Can you explain in short what it is about?

It was a HOT topic  But I can fully confirm this bug (I would like to avoid to shoot a demonstration video)

Maybe there is a hidden reason that I don't know.

Thank you very much Davide.

I'm sorry I missed your topic. I try to avoid all forums and other online discussions as much as I can, till I need some information. Better for my mental health.  ;-)

I agree, that way I miss out on things from time to time.

When I see a chance to test this with the mark 2, I'll let you know.
