Panasonic issued a new firmware update for the G5 and GH3. Click here to download the fw: http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/dsc/download/fts/index.html
These are the new GH3 features:
- “Low Light AF” is added that makes it possible to set focus on the subject in low-lit situations (-3EV).
- “Silent Mode” is added which suppresses electronic shutter, shutter sound, operation sound and flash emission with a single setting.
- “Exposure Comp. Reset” is added which resets the setting of exposure compensation to ±0 whenever the camera is turned off or the shooting mode is changed.
- Performance of AF is enhanced in use with H-PS14042 and H-PS45175.
- Connection problem with Apple Mac computers via Wi-Fi is fixed.
These are the new G5 features:
- Correction of wording on [Motion Picture] menu
- Correct the wording “60p/60i/30p” of AVCHD frame rate on [Rec Quality] menu to “50p/50i/25p”.
This update is for PAL broadcast regions only, and you don’t need this update if wording is already “50p/50i/25p”.
- Correct the wording “60p/60i/30p” of AVCHD frame rate on [Rec Quality] menu to “50p/50i/25p”.

because there is the button in place of VF 🙂 It’s obvious 🙂
Back under your bridge, please.
O i wish Olympus was like Panasonic when it comes to firmware updates.
Agreed
definitely agreed
Really great firmware update for G5! 😀
(4) and (5) are the kind of things that should be included in firmware updates.
But (1), (2) and (3) are significant feature upgrades, which is a welcome surprise in an age where new models are rolled out every 6 months.

Hope FocusPeaking is comming also.
Focus peaking for the G5 would have been brilliant, even if only in stills.
(3) is a great feature – I wish all cameras had this.
Will we get similar updates for other cameras, such as the GX1?
G5 hack?…. Please Vitaly!
Yes! G5 hack please Vitaly! NTSC G5 has 30 min limit on PSH video.
Still no focus peaking on Gh3, what a shame!
Panasonic if you read this, you must be out of your mind, more than 90% of GH3 users what focus peaking and you do not acknowledge this!
maybe focus peaking is not a simple software update – one interview with a Panasonic excutive mentioned this
LOL
install some anti-bot
software…
