I'm assuming that dual IS+ is both the 5 axis in-camera and the lens stabilization combined....and just dual IS is only the 5 axis in-camera, right ? Or is there some plus mode ? Still, in both it looks pretty impressive. If not , I'd like to see a test w/o a stabilized lens .

@kurth

Yes. Sensor based stab is best for wide shots, and OIS is best for long lenses (it is just physics).

Great for vintage lenses without stabilizers. Any info on flat picture modes? Will there be any?

@fatpig Saw in one of the previews (don't remember what) that there were no special picture mode, not even Cinelikes.

For video you can just get gimbal. :-) It'll work with all your small cameras and any lenses.

With the Leica Summilux 15mm f/1.7 (a lens that lacks stabilization) : https://www.instagram.com/p/BD-_ZhAEnNZ/?taken-by=cablefreak

"All handheld". Mighty impressive!

fatpig

lack of picture modes is a real turnoff! :(

well.. mini gimbal in sensor is a nice to have :-D

@rpcstudio: motion looks really weird. warp stabilizer added?

rpcstudio

@fatpig - read the comments. He answers all questions about shooting and post. No warp stabilizer.

Natural is the best picture mode anyway, and it looks like it has that. I told myself the next camera I would buy would have 4k sensor stabilized video. I didn't expect it this fast. So smooth, though, so tempting...

Crop with ibis in 4k mode or even Fullhd? Thanks.

"When shooting 4K with the GX80 we found that the footage was incredibly steady, and we were able to use a 3 00mm (equivalent) lens handheld and get surprisingly steady footage. There is also a second, electronic, image stabilisation mode that uses a slightly cropped image area. This further enhances the stabilisation effect by shifting the are the sensor is recording from. In this mode the stabilisation feel like it is almost locked on to the subject and there is only the merest hint of breathing up and down as you handhold the camera in a set position."

And in the comments:
Q: Do you know whether the camera in 4k mode has full sensor readout or crops? If it's the latter, what's the ratio?
A: There's a slight crop for 4K recording, around 1.1x across the horizontal field of view. (Obviously a larger vertical crop for the 16:9 aspect ratio.)
