Sorry to rehash an old thread, but I've been scouring the forums and can't seem to find much on the subject.. I was just wondering, does anyone know if there's any reason why the GH5S wouldn't be capable of receiving a firmware update for the tweaked v-log L that is now in the BGH1? I was just curious as I keep reading the BGH1 is essentially a rehoused GH5S so it seems like it could handle it, right?

A new "tweaked" Vlog L claiming 13 stops and internal 10bit 60fps. Fingers crossed these features make their way to the GH5s in a future firmware update. I mean it's possible, right..?

Thanks very much for your responses. I suppose if the battery drain is minimal you’re right. Definitely worth keeping it on plug-in power for the auto power function. What troubles me now though is if there is a fault with either the NTG or the GH5s mic jack. Even if it means not having the auto power function enabled, the NTG should work fine with plug-in power turned off, no? My only guess would be that the GH5s is still sending that 5v power (though not consistently) when turned off in the settings, and this is triggering the NTG’s auto power function..

Hi all, I recently purchased the VideoMic NTG to pair with my GH5s and although it works great with plug-in power turned on in the mic socket settings, it seems to connect and disconnect intermittently with plug-in power off. The microphone is fully charged and powers on fine on its own. Seeing as the Rode has a built in battery I'm not sure why it's doing this, would ideally like to conserve the battery life of the GH5s and have the mic using its own power source. Anyone else experienced this issue? Thanks in advance
