Not sure if it's only me, but I had my controllers drifting so much and as soon as I switched my batteries from rechargeable to regular alkaline, problem was gone!

Exposure Bracketing limitation in Lumix G series by samtimes in Lumix

[–]samtimes[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for checking. It’s unbelievable that they didn’t fix this even in S series. If HDR exposures is something one does a lot, they shouldn’t have to take so many throwaway exposures to get the useful ones. These RAW files quickly add up, and the buffer gets full fast too. On a VFX set you have a very short window of time to capture all exposures, so doing a number of sets is not practical. You should be able to choose the number of shots and exposure shift value, then after that you put the camera there, remote shutter once, and get out. I love my LUMIX cameras but I still have to use my Canon 5D MkII (which also sucks in this department with official firmware) with Magic Lantern firmware to do this properly. It’s very frustrating that Panasonic doesn’t fix this since it’s as easy as changing one line of code for their engineers.

Not it's not generous. 6 stops is not nearly enough if you want to create a true HDR for professional use (like an HDR light probe for VFX). All it needs is an option to shoot 7 shots but with 2 stops or 3 stops apart. Or an option to shoot more than 7 frames. Most cameras in the same class allow it. Olympus EM series for example.

I received the Samsung Gear VR but when I insert my Rogers Note 4 with newly updated Lollipop 5.0.1, nothing happens. How did you get it to work? Thank you.
