GH3 Firmware Update
 

Anyone done the GH3 FW update yet (http://panasonic.jp/support/global/c.../dl/gh3.html)? Anything we should know before proceeding?

It's all good. Doesn't have everything being wished for, but no concerns.

Good luck

Version 1.2

1. "Low Light AF" is added that makes it possible to set focus on the subject in low-lit situations (-3EV).
2. "Silent Mode" is added which suppresses electronic shutter, shutter sound, operation sound and flash emission with a single setting.
3. "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.
4. Performance of AF is enhanced in use with H-PS14042 and H-PS45175.
5. Connection problem with Apple Mac computers via Wi-Fi is fixed.



A big MEH. Nothing that interests me.

Agree. I probably won't bother with this update.

Clearly, the most important thing they need to fix is the disappearance of the audio meters from the LCD after a few seconds of shooting.

After that, they need to give purchasers of their $1000+ flagship camera the $750 G6's focus peaking capability (The G6's NFC would be nice too - but that probably requires a chip).

Come on, Panasonic.
