>>4358581I know, nophoto, you have never used a micro four thirds, especially not a CDAF only body, so you don't know what I'm talking about. Why would you, I'm talking about the technique behind photographing with shitty gear and you don't take photos. You're an internet tough guy who larps about shooting high speed runway fashion-acrobatics with a pentax k1000.
>Hold the autofocus button down until your subject is in focus.This is how DSLR AF works. It constantly focuses on the subject as long as it's in the autofocus area. This is not how autofocus works on a GX85. The GX85 is only competent in AF-S, so to shoot action you need to track, prefocus, recompose (delay here from the focus pulse and shutter delay) and shoot. This is great for cars, bikes, and more predictable things if you are working zoomed out or with deep DOF.
Now you know how to focus with a GX85.
It sounds easy but it absolutely can not catch unpredictable movement as reliably as a better camera like basically any canon DSLR since the original 5d, which is actually why we're still not seeing a lot of micro four thirds use in sports photography. Too many CDAF bodies or bodies with really shitty PDAF implementations. When you can one day see the future and move the focus ring as fast and precisely as a computer, then you will be able to shoot as well as the many people who went to the paris olympics with decade old DSLRs.
