Good to see JVC has not forgotten about this camera.

Re: New Firmware 2016 for LS300
Great news!

Re: New Firmware 2016 for LS300
I read that it adds some additional HDMI output resolutions. Is that all we can expect?
|
Re: New Firmware 2016 for LS300
Nice find - can anyone confirm what the firmware is?
Nothing about it on JVC's website that I could find... |
Re: New Firmware 2016 for LS300
Picked up this on a site : GY-LS300CHは4K/60p出力が可能になるファームアップを
and I can read 4K/60p, which is a serious upgrade, or what do you say? In a JVC news info they also had the phrase 4K HDR - interesting. |
Re: New Firmware 2016 for LS300
It's seems like we can pay for an upgrade, and record 4k60p via HDMI into an external recorder.
Here's Google Translate of a webpage I just found: GY - LS 300 CH can upgrade to 4K / 60p Firm - up GY-LS300CH plans to upgrade the firmware corresponding to 4K / 60p output from HDMI with a lens replacement type camera of MFT mount equipped with a Super 35 sensor. Although it does not correspond to the internal record, 4 K / 60 p recording is possible by combining with Atmos' SHOGUN INFERNO, for example. An external recorder is necessary but it is cheaper than Sony FS 7 even if both are added. On SHOGUN INFERNO side, it corresponds to REC trigger and interlocking recording is possible. The firmware is said to be paid for. https://translate.google.co.uk/trans...ss&prev=search Perhaps while they are at they could squeeze in 1080p at 240fps too. After all, a full sensor 4k readout at 60p kind of equates to 1/4 sensor resolution readout at 240p right? (I expect my understanding of sensors is completely wrong though) |
Re: New Firmware 2016 for LS300
They have reached the maximum SD card write capasity and using Atomos external 4K recorder will add that and a few interesting color support abilities. HDR and possibly instant JVC Log and so on. Might be time to replace the old Atomos Ninja 2.

Re: New Firmware 2016 for LS300
FYI 150Mb/s is only 19MB/s (even my cheap SDXC cards are rated to 60MB/s)
|
Re: New Firmware 2016 for LS300
Still the LS300 does not like certain makes of SD cards, even if the same cards work on other cams at 200mbps!
|
Re: New Firmware 2016 for LS300
Which brands don't work?
|
Re: New Firmware 2016 for LS300
Samsung Pro 64GB which are rated U3 and can write up to 80Mbytes/sec don't work with LS300 with 170mbps. They work on the GH4 with 200mbps. Sandisk Ultra 80Mb/s do not work too.

Re: New Firmware 2016 for LS300
I now use sandisc extreme pro 95mbs cards which have worked fine so far.

We started using Extreme Pro series cards with the AF100 and many of those have lasted a great number of years. |
Re: New Firmware 2016 for LS300
I wonder when we'll hear more about the new firmware?
It would be amazing if it also gave us a 10bit 1080p output! |
