Simon Shasha Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 A handful of rumour sites stated that there was some sort of GH4 firmware update due in February. The update was said to contain things such as V-Log. February is two days away from ending (down here in Australia, anyway), and it seems that there is no GH4 firmware update in site...I have a bad feeling the entire thing was too good to be true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted February 25, 2015 Administrators Share Posted February 25, 2015 There is one coming.that's all I can say!!!! Julian and JazzBox 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Shasha Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 Haha! Awww, man! We're dying 'ere!! I must ask this at least; is it something that, in your opinion, will put a smile on many faces, or cause a lot of shoulders to shrug?

Cinegain Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 And I can tell you... there will be a successor to the GH4!There will be a lot of obvious things happening in the future, GH4 firmware is a very probable one. Rumored features though aren't neccessarily things that will obviously happen. Remember, we've seen images where people were supposedly running 4K-enabled firmware on an E-M1 and that was coming to us as well (oh, and 24p remember?)... I don't believe anything until I see it with my own eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrad Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 V-Log is coming, but not in February. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Shasha Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 If V-Log is coming to the GH4, among other new features (supposedly), I have a feeling now that we wont be seeing anything until NAB... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Shasha Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 I'm starting to worry that this firmware update is vapourware ...unless they are saving it to rain on Canon's supposed GH4 "competitor"...Been quite a while since any site/blog/forum have mentioned anything regarding the rumorued GH4 firmware update...

anchoricex Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 yeah NAB is right around the corner, but last I heard v-log was just experimental. It may very well be that even with a log profile they were simply limited by the sensor they're using and weren't able to get enough DR to deliver to consumers.

Yeah, that's the vibe I've been getting with the lack of talk/rumour leaks regarding the firmware update - that the whole thing was just experimental.I also started thinking that perhaps Panasonic won't release it due to the rumoured AF101 successor - perhaps Panasonic is worried that a really good firmware boost to the GH4 would result in less people purchasing the AF101 successor...

JazzBox Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I love my GH4 and it would be great if they could add 1080 RAW possibility in the style of Black Magic Pocket.... better then the V-Log Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Forsman Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 For shooting anamorphic, I'm dying for a 4:3 mode with 24fps and the HDMI port enabled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I think Panasonic are safe to boost the GH4 firmware without affecting sales of a rumoured AF200.My hunch is that they will release a firmware update with v-log etc. alongside the announcement of the AF200 so that the GH4 becomes the perfect B Cam for the AF200 with matching colour profiles.Maybe a hunch, maybe a hope ;-) Julian, JazzBox and IronFilm 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christrad Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 For shooting anamorphic, I'm dying for a 4:3 mode with 24fps and the HDMI port enabled.+1 for the 4:3 mode and with 3:2 and 1:1 as well like in the GH4. Zak Forsman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Antonescu Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I'm really looking forward to this firmware update. Would love to see small things like a 2.35 frame guide. And who knows, maybe they'll go crazy and give us UHD 60P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Shasha Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 It's been so long since we heard anything. I really hope this hasn't turned into vapourware... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted April 6, 2015 Administrators Share Posted April 6, 2015 I think they are just timing it for NAB Simon. Not long to wait now, let's see in 7 days... JazzBox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Shasha Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 I think you're right, Andrew! My curiosity and impatience are just getting the best of me at the moment. Not long now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted April 6, 2015 Administrators Share Posted April 6, 2015 Yeah it's been a long wait. Funnily enough the main feature I am looking forward to is VLOG. With A7S having SLOG and so many lovely LUTs out there I want to apply them to the GH4 footage so need LOG. Maintains small file sizes compared to raw which is very nice.

Stefan Antonescu Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Illya from Hot Rod Cameras said a cryptic "All I'll say is you may be surprised..." in the V-LOG thread over at dvxuser :http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?333445-GH4-V-log&p=1986534258&viewfull=1#post1986534258I wonder what that means ?
