Panasonic is known for poor autofocus so can we get this working well on the Lumix S1H?

I tend not to use autofocus much when filming but I understand the need for fast, accurate autofocus when needed. For example, when using the DJI Ronin M stabilizer, it is virtually impossible to focus manually when "running and gunning".
I found a workable solution for the Panasonic GH5 video autofocus when it was released because "out of the box", it was awful.

I think people need to understand that the Panasonic focus ecosystem is different to that of its competitors. Canon are the king of autofocus with their Dual Pixel AF which I love. It works as soon as you switch the camera on.
For whatever reason, the Panasonic Mirrorless range of cameras need more work. Stills photography? Brilliant! No complaints at all with focussing for stills.
There are so many options for focussing in the menu, it can become overwhelming. Admittedly I only had this camera for 10 days when I did this review but I eventually found some settings that worked quite well.
I think with some more tweaking and fine tuning, I will be able to arrange a bunch of custom settings that work well in various environments. For example, filming in a run and gun situation is vastly different to filming an interview or review video such as this one. Horses for courses.
I love Panasonic cameras and am happy to put a bit more effort in to find those settings. The rest of the Panasonic S1H is more than worth that little extra effort required for effective focussing.
