Yesterday I posted the FZ2500 videos from our contributor. Today we have new videos of the Panasonic G85 and LX10 PAL cameras and how they can be hacked to allow NTSC frame rates. The instructions below should work with all the latest Lumix camera so give it a try if you need a world camera. You can also download G85 sample videos from here or the LX10 sample videos from here to try for yourself.

Olympus E-M1 Mark II Shutter Sound vs E-M1 Mark I

By Louis Ferreira | Published: December 28, 2016

Olympus tweaked the sound of the OM-D E-M1 Mark II shutter a little, which will help when shooting in quite places like churches. Even the high speed shooting is pretty significantly muffled compared to the original Mark I.
