Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH2 Operating Instructions Manual page 88

Others
• The screen may be blacked out momentarily, or the unit may record noise due to static
electricity or electromagnetic waves etc. depending on the environment of the motion picture
recording.
• Object seems to be warped slightly when the object moves across the image very fast, but this
is because the unit is using MOS for the image sensor. This is not a malfunction.
• With recording in a quiet environment, depending on the lenses used, the sound of aperture
and focus actions may be recorded in motion pictures. This is not a malfunction. Focus
operation while recording motion pictures can be set to [OFF] with [CONTINUOUS AF] (P43).
• Be careful while recording motion pictures because the sounds of the zoom operations, buttons
and dial operation etc. may be recorded.
• Depending on the lens used, picture may be warped slightly or you may see colors along the
edge depending on the zoom factor, due to the characteristics of the lens. Also, the peripherals
of the image might look warped because the perspective is enhanced when the wide angle is
used. This is not a malfunction.
• The Optical image Stabilizer function of the 14-42 mm/F3.5-5.6 lens supplied in DMC-GH2K
only works correctly with supported cameras.
When older Panasonic digital cameras (DMC-GF1, DMC-GH1, DMC-G1 ) are used,
[STABILIZER] in the [REC] Mode menu (P74) cannot be set to [OFF]. It is recommended to
update the firmware of the digital camera at the following website.

When using this lens with another make of digital cameras, the Optical Image Stabilizer
function will not work. (As of October 2010)
For details, contact the respective company.
• Is the flash closed?
Slide the [_ OPEN] lever to open the flash. (P68)
• The flash is activated 2 times. The interval between the first and second flash is longer when
Red-eye Reduction (P69) is set so the subject should not move until the second flash is activated.
