I find it a bit akward. There is absolutely no information on what this FW does. That’s highly unusual unless it’s on preparation!
Although all the dates for the file are from today, the one for the GH1 is named GH1__133.bin. Isn’t that the current one?
do someone know if this update affect the “gh13” 😉
…and if how?
No release note ?
Something related with the hack gh13 perhaps ?
If it requires a password it highly likely is just the current alpha/beta version of the next firmware update.
I’m not touching a firmware upgrade that requires a password…
Does anybody know what are the improvements on this firmware??
Sounds like beta testing for new firmware. Nice to know that Panasonic is still working on updates for their cameras.
Yeah, it looks like a beta tester leaked the password for a beta firmware. I’m not touching this one.
Actually, a french store detected some differences on color rendering between current devices and pre-march 2010 cameras.
Only customers of this store have received the credentials to download this update (for the moment).
It seams colors are indeed a little more accurate^^
