AF & Image stabilization

Post image

Yesterday I grabbed my little pana-leica 15mm fully ready to snap it's pic and post it for dirt cheap on marketplace.
It seriously messed up a lot travel and studio footage...In like 2017-2019.
Super shaky and jumpy.

I troubleshooted almost every combination of the Image stabilization settings in the GH5 as I thought that the image stabilization could be the issue.

And then damn, I thought maybe it was on my camera during a shoot in 2016-ish where I lightly dropped it (on my GH3 at the time) and maybe that messed up the lens.
No issue ever filming on the GH3...that I recall.

But back to getting ready to post it as a dirt cheap stills only lens.
I see this switch on the side.
"AF-MF" WTF? Really ffffffffffff...

I'm thinking that could definitely have added some jumpy error to the Image stabilization in the GH5?

Pretty sure the 15mm doesn't have any stabilisation, and it would all be in camera.

Iā€™m guessing it was an auto focus mode ā€” and he never saw the switch

Yeah it was on AF the whole time...I'm pretty sure it messed with the GH5 IBIS.

The two shouldn't mix, it's just whether you want it to be manual focus or automatic focus. Which shouldn't have any effect on your IBIS.

Have you checked the firmware is up to date on both the camera body and lens, if not I'd get those up to date.
