Did the new Panasonic Lumix S5II /S5IIX Firmware actually improve human detect autofocus? Was that part of the firmware all hype?

It wasn't terrible, but it definitely had its issues. Let's deep dive.

Update:

Regarding the colour / white balance differences, I’m still fairly new at this colour correction / grading world, so this is most likely human error 😂 - as of writing this, the 2nd camera has not been updated to the latest firmware as of yet. When I update it, I’ll pin a comment with my findings. Thanks so much for the compliments on the video so far!
