@discomandavis @caveport That's correct! I had the Gh4 with a 20mm pancake for the wide shot and the gh2 with a canon fd50mm for the tight shot. The couple inserted B-roll shots were the gh4 with the canon 50mm

LOL!!! Agree... Anyway we will see about the firmware...like I said I am not holding my breath.

Well maybe if Samsung bring their Tablet/Apps approach to their cameras and Panansonic does get eaten alive (I hope that does not happen...competition is good) but the Jap mentality seems to lock them into that inhouse development, super secretive NDA type of thing. Anyway if the eaten alive by Samsung Cameras does happen...well on the positive side it will make some really good and funny material for the Hitler Dubs on Youtube LOL!!

@Vitaliy_Kiselev Agree with your statements in part. But very recently Illya Friedman from Hotrod Cameras made some posts about this. Below

Poster:
Can't see what shooting V-log on the GH4 will get you other than destroying the color data and a lot of extra work in post. But hey seems like everyone is screaming for it so to each their own.

Illya Friedman:
You'll see, and I have a feeling you will be a big proponent for the benefits of V-log after you see the results for yourself.
The release date rumor from a couple pages back is false. (about the GH4)

Poster:
Do you have a vague idea what the release date is then?

Illya Friedman:
I do. But I'm not saying.

So I dont think its an unfounded rumour, I dont think they are both speculating, plus Andrew Reid has been right about a few upcoming products.

At the end of the day tho, I am not holding my breath. Just my "Personal View" but I think they should open up at least part of the code so people can write apps or make adjustments to the internal functions.

I really feel if they continue to keep everything inhouse, they will eventually get eaten alive by Samsung. Just my view...probably wont happen...at least anytime soon.

But they might do well to move more into the Computer/Tablet age...encourage 3rd party development etc... after all the hack kept the GH2 interest up for several years.

@discomandavis Let me guess; wide is GH4 & closeup is GH2. I own both and the wide shot has that slightly cleaner look with lighter skin tones.

Andrew Reid over at EOSHD keeps dropping hints about a "major" firmware upgrade for the GH4.

Get my good advice - just ignore him. Saves time and nerves.

As for firmware update - rumors will surface as it'll be near completion, if anything serious is planned (and I have big doubts here).

sorry guys I changed from private

GH4 with some green screen works

Some GH4 skateboarding

Thanks - another way to do it!

I have a question about mapping fn button shortcuts. If there's a function that I'd like as a shortcut but that doesn't appear in the list when you access the mapping menu, can I assume I won't be able to program that as a short cut? What I'd like to do is to be able to turn on/off hdmi overlays with a single button - I have a ninja blade that I'd like to use the Gh4 thirds overlay on for composition, but then turn off before shooting.

Been out in the cold the past couple of days with my GH4 and put this together.

I was able to capture a timelapse of a winter storm we had in WV with my gh4
