As suggested here

probably the best way to have smooth auto-something video on the GH4 is to use the 4k Photo mode with auto-ISO.
Unfortunately for the European users the generated video seems to be 30p only, irrespective of the camera frequency setting.
Everyone is exited about GX85 and G85. In normal use (lowish iso) the GH4 has better dynamic range and less rolling shutter.
Better Auto Exposure in Video Mode
This is bad tip if using Panasonic lenses. The exposure looks very amateurish because the aperture changes in visible steps.
In fact it is not a tip at all. Just using one of the basic exposure mode.
Setting exposure in degrees is not a big thing either. Anyone can dial a shutter speed doubling the frame rate. If not the whole concept of shutter degrees is meaningless.
Better Auto Exposure in Video Mode
Maybe I will write that kind of guide and send it to Panasonic top managers but with more formal language :)
After 2.5 year of use I still find new faulty working features.
I imagine new bestseller:
GH4 AF+MF works quite odd in video. It wont let me fine tune focus until I first press half shutter. This makes unnecessary focus jump before I can fine tune focus by turning the focus ring. Why it must work only with half shutter? After 2.5 year of use I still find new faulty working features.
May be Panasonic just let you know that they think about Mac? Symbolically.
FWIW - I could not get the zip (Mac) version of FW v2.6 to download successfully (0 byte file). The exe (Win) version of FW v2.6 does download successfully.
Something tells me that they don't give a fuck about it. As it does not affect sales even a little.
They really dont want to add any improvements for GH4 video exposure. Now 5th FW update and no new exposure tools. I fear that the GH5 will have exactly the same limitations than GH4.
Firmware v2.6 available for GH4
- When the camera is used with the Battery Grip, an error message pops up if the remaining power of the battery in the Battery Grip is low.
- With a use of Panasonic H-RS100400(LEICA DG VARIO-ELMAR 100-400mm / F4.0-6.3 ASPH. / POWER O.I.S.) or some Olympus interchangeable lenses, the monitor blacks out when the user tries consecutive shooting in manual mode in AFC setting.
