I bought a used (excellent condition) G9 about 6 weeks ag. I settled on the G9 over all of the parade of Fuji, Sony, Olympus high quality items, mostly because the controls closely resembled those of my Canon DSLRs that I have used for decades. It has been a steep learning curve because the device is as much a computer as it is a camera. I'm learning to love it because I cn switch off so many functions but I am learning the advantages of a couple of decades of engineering that my Big, excessively heave 80ds did not have. I will be following your advice about which focusing options it affords me.
Molt clarificador el vídeo, encara que l’ expliquis per la Panasonic, penso que els diferents modes de mesura d’exposició, es poden utilitzar també en altres marques, així com en fotografía i vídeo. Les petites seqüènncies que incorpores, 👌🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻, ajuden molt a entendre millor l’explicació, Bravo! 🤩😍😎 Molt útil tot plegat! Gràcies, i enhorabona per la feina feta!
Excellent explanation. Finally I got better understanding of metering modes in Lumix camera. Subscribing to your channel and looking forward to your videos coming next.
Thanks for the sub!! I hope you enjoy the content. If you want some videos specifically about the G9 I have a few of them in this playlist: Panasonic G9: ua-cam.com/play/PLZst2QsrC8VFeO2f9S4QZzVEBI7EVh64r.html
Roger, does the metering modes on G9 work in video mode? I must be missing something, when I switch metering modes in picture settings Im able to see that on camera screen, not in video mode though. Cant see any difference when I playback footage too.
They should work and the differences visible, given that there is some automatic setting. If you shoot full manual, including ISO then the metering won't make any changes to your image.
Haven't done that myself, but it'll probably depend on what results you're looking for. I'd look for specialized videos on the topic and most brands do have similar options, so pick the one for the purpose.
When in Manual using Auto-ISO for photos, for some reason the meter always shows that the exposure is correct, even when shutter speed is set to a really long value like 10 seconds for example and the image will clearly be blown out. (it's already hit ISO 200 a long time ago). any idea why ?
I don't have the camera with me to check but, could it be related to not having the exposure preview activated (can't even remember the actual name of the function...)?
@@RogerinFinland I have to activate constant preview to see the exposure but I'm still eyeballing it in that case because the meter stays stuck at Zero. It's like as if it's not metering at all. The only indication I have is that when I half click the aperture and shutter speed numbers will flash red and histogram turns yellow. It's a really odd phenomenon. If I fix the ISO (meaning don't use autoiso) then the meter starts metering again. Very odd.
@@evenaicantfigurethisout I have this same issue with the Lumix G100, I worked around it by turning on the "Exposure Meter" in the "Monitor" menu. It shows a different meter, but it does show how your shutter speed and aperture affect the exposure.
I do boudoir videos in relative dark conditions, the subject is the important thing. So i gues centre or spot metering would be best for this kind of work. What do you think is best?
If the subject matters most, you are correct spot or center. I would use spot only if the scene is static enough, otherwise there's bigger risk of exposure wildly changing. In that sense center weighted is a safer choice.
Thanks Roger! You crushed that explanation, I got it now...finally!
Hei, I'm glad it was helpful! 😊
And much appreciated that you took the time to leave the positive comment! 🙌🏻
Thanks a lot :)
Happy to help and thank you very much for the comment!

I no longer own a G9, but it is a fantastic camera.
I do have a few videos about it, so hopefully you find something useful.
Thank you Roger. Most helpful video I've seen on G9 metering exposure. Glad I found your channel. Liked and subscribed!
Awesome! And thanks so much for the comment and the sub 👍🏻😊
Super helpful, thanks. Amateur here with a Lumix G9 (just purchased).
In that case I'm glad the video was helpful!
That was sooooo good explanation!!! Thank you very much this will help me do better timelapses. Keep up the good work
Thanks for the feedback!
Thank you.
Happy to help 👍🏼😊

Hi Roger if I am shooting a lightning strike during night using manual mode what metering mode should I set my LUMIX G9 to? Thank you

bona explicacio jeje que ja has probat el nou firmware? tinc la sensacio que va millor que anteriorment
Algo millor si que va, però el pulsing de fons segueix existint (AF per contrast només).
@@RogerinFinland cert pero molt menys jeje per mi ja era totalment valida abans ara encara mes
