Newsshooter InterBee 2014- GH4 Beta Firmware Sneek Peak

A GH4 on the Panasonic stand at InterBee 2014 was running beta firmware that included the V-Log picture profile that is found in the much more expensive Varicam 35. The firmware also had the ability to output 4K over HDMI which will give you the ability to record 4K ProRes to the soon to be released Atoms Shogun. Other features that have already been announced in the next firmware release include HDMI timecode and HDMI record trigger. Something that both Sony and Canon have had implemented for quite a long time.

I spoke to a Panasonic representative who told me that the V-Log picture profile was only being tested at the moment and may or may not be implemented in the next firmware release. Interestingly enough I did run into a Japanese shooter who had V-Log operational on his GH4. Lets hope that it is indeed scheduled to be included in the upcoming firmware update.
