GH5S Massive Focus Improvement with New Firmware 1.2?

Thank You! Here is the Right White link:
Dear Friends,
The reason I made this video is to have visual proof I can watch to see the focus results of the face detection system on the GH5S camera with the new firmware 1.2 update. Did it really get better and is it usable and reliable where it does not become part of the story?
I used one of Panasonics best responding lenses for face detection and also pitted it against another 43rds lens, the super high quality Olympus Pro 25mm 1.2 lens. The Olympus Pro brings us into professional territory with the 1.2 lens, but there is not participation in Panasonic's DFD focus technology. Will it matter all that much? That is why I made this video, I need to know, and you get to watch :)
The Lumix 25mm 1.7 performs much better at tracking me is my conclusion. It isn't perfect, but it is buckets better! Does that leave the Olympus lens out?
Well, I own that lens and I hate to give it up, but I get the feeling that I can set it and forget it with the Panasonic DFD lens, but not with a lens that does not have the DFD stuff in it, like the Olympus.
This makes me realize that Panasonics lens line is a freaking mess, with all different levels of DFD response caused by the many different motor drive systems in their lenses.
Panasonic has a lot of work to do to clean up their mess lol. Remember your mother telling you to clean up your room? Well it just about applies here too - Panasonic, clean up your lens line!!
A Christmas Room regards to us all, God bless us every one.
