Hello, I noticed a very strange thing: yesterday for the first time I removed the Leica 12-60mm and mounted the lens Lumix G Vario 14-140mm. Well I must say that with the lens Leica 12-60mm I have absolutely no stabilization as good as with the Lumix G Vario 14-140mm. Even with higher zoom the Lumix G Vario is much more stable. These buttons are on "On", therefore they are enabled. Why does this happen to me? Even when I film with the wide angle of Leica, I notice that nothing is fluid. Maybe I configured something wrong in the Menu? However the Manual is very bad. The fact is if I will use the Leica less and less for the benefit of the Lumix G Vario. In the Menu of my GH5 I see the "Operating mode" deactivated. Why? Can you help me to configure that Menu? This is what I see in the Menu:

The leica 12-60 has a "power ois" switch on the side, are you sure that is set to "on"?

YOu have the menu set correct and dual IS is on. Look at the LCD and you can see the icon top right that shows the lens stabilizer is on dual. So lens and IBIS are active. It should be that way for both those lenses.

No Ron, I don't know why but Lumix G Vario 14-140mm works better related to stabilitation. What a pity!
