Well I just had a great experience at Panasonic in Newark regarding my issue with the micro hdmi. The head engineer contacted me regarding this issue. They actively monitor sites like this for customer problems and reached out to me. Nice right? Anyway, it seems the connector port on my two bodies were VERY tight. At first He had to push pretty forcefully to initiate contact. Now that its been in once, it goes in easily... Just the way one should expect it to.
I had a number of my colleagues try it as well as sales people at BH . No one wanted to apply the amount of pressure needed to make contact for fear of damaging the connection. Clearly it was too tight , but now...no problem.
FYI, Id like to thank the head engineer who was so engaged and helpful. He asked me not to mention his name. Aside from solving my issue, I got a mini tour of their headquarters in Newark and got some insight into the momentum the gh4 is gaining and the future of mirrorless in general.I also learned that theres a new verb bouncing around Hollywood..."Lumix it!"
Thanks Panasonic:)
