Reports are correct, If you have fw2.3 on GH4 you can select v-log in the app and record without the need of anything from Panasonic..

@ade4all Link, please?
some people have managed to get v-log for nothing, not saying it's right but after all the effort Panasonic have made to make it hack free.......
I agree with Shian that the Official V-LOG LUT provided by Panasonic is too pink. It is easy to see in the 2nd clip here which has the LUT applied without further adjustments. The work around of course is to pull out some magenta/red to taste or use another LUT. Several labeled clips here have Koji Cineon LOG applied which works out nicely. Can someone please tell me where I can download the basic Cineon to REC 709 3D LUT?
@discomandavis - Thanks for that really appreciated.
I posted it a couple of days ago, page 19

Sorry to go slightly off topic but does anyone know where I can download firmware 2.2 as this is no longer on Panasonics site.
I wonder if you can use V-Log with iDynamic to try and retain more highlight detail?
How good is Panasonic at shipping physical products? Here are some customer reviews: http://www.resellerratings.com/store/Panasonic

It looks like a physical card with physical shipment

FilmVision Pro Motion Picture Algorithm Editing (Panasonic GH4 VLOG-L):
(Sorry, forgot to change my 24fps render settings to 25fps for this video).
I wanted to see if the ungraded V-log L images from the last half of James Miller's video, which he stated were 2-stops overexposed, would grade okay. Hope James doesn't sue me.
@shian whaaat? No love for those dusty instagrammy blacks, bro? ;-P
^^^^ meh
"8-Bit internal record - You really get a much cleaner image if you overexposure by about 2 stops in general. Protect your mid-tones and forget the highlights. 10-Bit HDMI out only - You can get away with a little more under, but I like the tone on keeping fairly hot." James Miller
That escalated quickly.
Yep son, this card is from the times I could just go out and shoot.
Now before each shoot you need to activate "rent mode" and it counts cost by milliseconds, it also calculate amount charged for image processing, so most people now can not afford to use EVF (very costly) or even preview on LCD screen. We are back in old good days. And remember - AF rending is also expensive, so most use old good manual focusing now.
"Son, see this card. This was the last product Panasonic ever sold."
Maybe in distant future the code card will be collectors item. Remember guys keep them safe!
I believe that you may have to reactivate V-Log if there is every another firmware version. So maybe they figured sending a physical card would be better the way people change emails these days. Just a hunch and I'm probably wrong, since firmware upgrades don't erase user presets, but it's possible the implementation stores it somewhere else.
I'm sure it's not that bad for environment. Just strange, and why is it taking time and effort to print codes.
