Hi all, new S9 owner here (already posted a variation of this in the S9 subreddit but got no answers) with the 18-40 kit lens who’s been playing around with it for around a week, watching video guides and reading the manual to learn this new system. There’s a few things I haven’t been able to find answers to however:
- When using touch screen autofocus, is it possible to disable the “resize focal point” feature and just have the touch simply act as a focus? My issue is the resize UI temporarily disables the rest of the UI until you hit the shutter button, not to mention it’s easy to accidentally resize.
- When using touch AF for the 18-40 (and sometimes with the AF-on button too) for video, the autofocus likes to “pull back” before traveling to the target, and often overshoots the target a bit before settling on it. I haven’t seen this behavior in reviews of the lens or S9, is it something I’m doing? AF detection off, 1-area/1-area+, speed between 0-5, and sensitivity +3.
- Is there an easier way to reset the autofocus point to center instead of having to hit “disp” while it’s being moved? And also have it reset after the camera is turned off? The S9 doesn’t have a joystick and along with the AF touch behavior recentering is quite obnoxious.
- Is there a way to just trim the start and end of video clips in-camera without having to use video divide (which is an extra step and a clunky one at that). Also is LUMIX lab really not able to automatically convert RAWs to JPEGs when transferring to a phone?
