Cinegain Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Still secretly hoping V2.2 will be availlable one of these days soon and feature V-LOG ( http://www.eoshd.com/comments/topic/7466-v-log-on-gh4-is-coming/ ). JazzBox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayWindland Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Call me crazy, but the only firmware update that I really need or want is the ability to use focus magnification while recording. IMHO it's the final frontier of usability for the GH4. Orangenz and Michael Rodríguez Torrent 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find the 1080 focus on my rx100 is easier to manage in some ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Sewell Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 V-log will be nice, but I'd really really like shutter speed/angle lock and a selection of aspect ratio crop marks.I lost a bit of footage the other day because I didn't notice I'd changed angle - because of the tinted sellotape over the top and bottom of my screen!

Pascal Garnier Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Anyone else having trouble updating to 2.1 ?I did everything the instructions say : newly formatted card, full battery.However when I press play nothing happens, just the usual 'no picture' message.

David Barkan Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I wonder if it kills some bugs as well, been having problems with the Battery Grip of the camera crashing and all. Let's see...UPDATE: So far so good, before the update I'd connect the grip, turn the camera on, and suddenly things would go berserk, the camera would be "possessed", the lens would AF constantly, the screen would go black, sometimes it would blink or just freeze.Now I just updated and switched on without the grip, then with it, and all is fine! =) Whenever I test it out in the "real world" I'll update this post again.Cheers.

JazzBox Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Great, I'm going to install it!In the next update I'd love to have aspect ratio crop marks, V-Log and maybe a 1080 RAW or prores possibility Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pascal Garnier Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Start stop over HDMI doesn't work with my Ninja Blade. The option is greyed out in my GH4's menu.Have tried changing to 24p Cinema mode, various settings (both MP4 and AVCHD), but it won't work ...Anyone more info or a different experience ?

Lenscamera Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 After seeing this update, the Samsung NX1 is looking more and more attractive. My only 2 problems; converting the H.265 to a more edit friendly codec is impractical to me. Figure out the lenses and how to use my nikon and canon lenses with it. I don't think Panasonic will add any v-log or 4k anamorphic on this GH4. You're gonna have to buy a camera for that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eris Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Yes, hopefully Anamorphic 4K mode and VLOG will be in firmware 2.2 including in-camera de-squeeze. That would be a huge improvement. Of course it would be of little help unless your were able to output to HDMI with it. You can't do that right now.So just for the record, Panasonic:- VLOG- 4k Photomode changed to 4k Anamorphic - 24p - 1.33, 1.5, 2.0x de-squeeze onscreen - output to HDMI - VFR HD to HDMI. I believe HDMI 1.4b can output up to 120fps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's much harder to accidentally move it when it's on top instead of the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you updated it? Have same message! And have tried 2 cards!Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pascal Garnier Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 @Rikoshet : I downloaded the firmware update through a different site this morning. Apparently they linked to just the YAGH firmware update.I followed the link on this blog and everything worked out fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theSUBVERSIVE Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 With Sony getting more and more ground in video, with the low light king and also now, the 5-axis IBIS, plus Samsung actually being true to their word and pushing aggressively with new firmware, I can't see no other option for Panasonic that isn't being aggressive as well.

CarlMiller Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 ASPECT RATIO/CROP GUIDES PLEASE! That's gotta be a super easy feature to implement. JazzBox and David Barkan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In such case you have to remove the number 2 of the file name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
