Panasonic Lumix GH6 problems fixed via workarounds solutions. 14 problems on the GH6 including the streaking issue can be avoided by following three simple steps which will eliminate the problem altogether or reduce it to insignificant levels.
The GH6 is a power hungry camera due to its high bitrate encoded videos and fast frame rates e.g. 4k 120p. There are multiple options to cater for the power consumption of the GH6 depending on the requirements.

Workaround solutions for GH6 problems:

*Overcoming short battery life*
Option 1: Use a lightweight compact battery base such as: "Anton Bauer Titon Base", "Core SWX
PowerBase Edge Lite", and "PB Edge Link".
Option 2: Use a more flexible but slightly bigger and heavier configuration with a holder for external NPF or V-mount batteries that connect to the bottom of the camera such as: Tilta TA-BSP3-V, TA-BSP2-V, and TA-BSP-F970.
Option 3: The biggest and heaviest solution is to rig out the camera with a camera cage and necessary rig to attach a V-mount battery.

Alternatively in order to reduce the power consumption of the battery in the camera:
- disable WiFi/bluetooth
- disable DR boost
- disable stabilisation
- use manual focus instead of continuous auto-focus
- use the lens' zoom less frequently
- use manual lenses
- use lower frame rates
- use lower resolutions
- write to a single memory card slot instead of backup recording
- do not use the HDMI port
- do not use an external microphone or the audio adapter
- reduce brightness of the back screen


*Workaround fix for GH6 streaking issue*
1. Upgrade GH6 camera firmware to version 2.2 or higher.
2. Use lower ISO settings as the impact is less at lower ISO settings.
3. Enable DR boost as it lessens the effect of streaking.

*Overcome accidental key presses*
Configure a button on the camera for locking controls and the touch screen to avoid accidental changes.

*Workaround for dual recording*
1. Use low bitrate encodings to record to both the SD card and CF Express at the same time.
2. Output video to HDMI and record video via an external recorder while simultaneously recording to internal memory cards or SSD.

*Expensive memory cards*
1. Use USB-C for external recording to cheap SSD devices which have a large storage capacity in comparison to CF Express cards and SD cards.
2. Use HDMI output to record externally to a recorder which allows usage of cheaper storage options.

*Freezing problem*
1. After turning on the camera wait for some time before operating the camera. This ensures all initialisation processes of the camera have been completed.
2. Do not press buttons in quick succession to allow the camera for more processing time between each action.
