There are still some small or few major quirks that need to be fixed on the GH4. Among them we have the fatc that in HDMI 25p is still outputting 50i. But there is a good news coming via the Atomos itself:
I’m hearing rumors that Panasonic may be announcing this patch at InterBEE which is November 19th-21 with the actual patch being released shortly afterwards, again fingers crossed!
It’s good to hear Panasonic is alreayd working on a new firmware update. Some extra wishes form our readers? 🙂

LOG color profile is one wish.
I have a feeling this will be in there.
I hope your feeling and my wish shall be right. 🙂
heard that V-log is not coming this time, confirmed.
Hope dies last. 🙂
where´s the log mode panasonic? 🙂
100 fps in slow mo for those of us in pal land…
Two other fixes would be great:
– enable 1/3 ISO steps in video mode (till now it can only be changed in photo mode)
– enable electronic shutter in video mode for custom white balance. In video mode the mechanical shutter is always active for white balance calibration, despite the setting in the photo mode (electronic / mechanical shutter)
Optional fixes:
– enable all languages on all cameras (PAL / NTSC)
Finally acceptable menus?
fixes and wishes reminds me of windows too much lol
200 Mbit/s in 4K and UHD, 25p true 4K mode
The 25p 4K is quite real you know :), maybe you are referring to the external recording HDMI output. Nevertheless 200 Mbit/sec would be a nice add.
I’m with “Kodakmoment” and “Kev”; 200 Mbit/s 4K, 25p true 4K and 100 fps – it just makes sense!
I am still hoping on an upate for the E-M5 …… but Oly let the E-M5 users standing in the rain…. !
Any news about that ?
Stop wining… E-M5 is a 3 year old camera and is still getting minor firmware updates.
It’s not going to magically get Wifi, high bitrate video or focus peaking. It simply does not have the hardware for it..
It is weatherproof camera so only photographer is suffering from rain if not prepared to wear proper clothes….
There is no flaws or such missing features that were promoted when camera were sold. It is o out some kids stubberness that they can’t accept focus peaking isn’t coming and they need to get a other camera if they want it. Case would be on their side if Olympus would have marketed E-M5 with focus peaking.
Yeah but the fault is yours for buying into the wrong system. Sorry.
What are you complaining about? The E-M5 is an excellent cam, I used it almost daily, it’s great.
Sure, it’s not for video. But it never was. It’s a stills cam, and a great one.
Is that it???
Unless this firmware updates the camera to where its shooting 5k @ 60fps/26p. Then i don’t care. Olympus does NOT care about it’s user base and supporting their existing camera line, they NEVER put out updates and i’ll never buy another camera from them again. PERIOD
Still need Borders/Grids for anamorphic aspect ratios or ability, to upload own aspect ratio BMPs just like MagicLantern.
miss a lot: rgb parade, vectorscope and 25p hdmi…
4K Photo mode in 24p!
Yeah I have a wish – allow for all bracketed shots to to be fired off in sequence with a single push of the shutter button. Having to hold it down for 3-7 shots causes too much shake, even on a tripod. We have to use a tripod and a remote or WiFi or similar workaround. This should be easy enough to fix in firmware, and everyone shooting HDR wants it.
Oh – and I agree with DPReview on the lack of Auto-ISO during video mode. That’s a shame.
yep, this is a big one.
There is auto ISO in 4k video mode, but it’s hidden. You have to go into the ‘Motion Picture’ menu and set ‘Exposure mode’ to ‘M’. Then auto-ISO becomes available. I’m assuming that’s what you mean, anyway.
This camera needs a true film LOG profile immediately. A7s, Blackmagic Pocket, even the Nikon D750, all have a film LOG mode. The GH4 with a film LOG mode would be amazing.
Punch-in/zoomed focus assist while recording!!!
Choice of Red for Peaking.
Enable to set the play-button to an Fn-button!
Cinemascope mode or cropping in evf!
Focus assist while recording (video), and programmable focus peaking. Then 25+30fps in ‘true’ 4K. Finally 100fps in 1080p.
auto HDR from one RAW file instead of multi shot. Yeah GH4 is no D800 but it could harness it’s DR in JPEGs a bit better..
Some people have mentioned Auto ISO, but we need more than that. We need Auto ISO in both still and video modes that allows the use of Exposure Compensation. I want to set shutter speed, aperture, and +/- exposure compensation and have the camera set ISO automatically based on those settings. Currently, you can set shutter and aperture, but the meter selects the ISO with no possibility to adjust exposure. This should be a VERY simple software change, but HUGELY useful.
200 Mbps or better 4k internally. If they can do it with 1080 they can do it with 4k. A spokesman in LA said they deliberately rigged the AF to be slow in video mode so it wouldn’t be so jerky. Now spokesmen are always trying to make silk purse out of a sow’s ear but in case that’s true and can be fixed by a firmware upgrade then faster AF in video mode.
