I got a GH2 recently and have been using the Panasonic 14-42 lens with Panasonic's OIS stabilization. The thing is, the lens has no on/off switch for the stabilization, it's turned on via the cameras menu. I read a post yesterday of people with Olympus cameras trying to use the lens' built in stabilization, but couldn't, they could only use lens' with an on/off switch.
So I guess I should assume the pocket cam won't be able to turn on or off stabilization on lens like this?
Apparently the BMPCC relies on you manually setting a stabilization switch on the lens barrel either ON or OFF. The camera firmware doesn't currently communicate with the lens' stabilization function. An example of a lens with the lens switch for image stabilization is the Panasonic Lumix 12-35mm zoom.
