1.4 Firmware. Release it already!

I have been using beta and as far as I know it is very close to release. I have not uncovered any issues with the final beta so hopefully it will release soon. I spoke with Sony today and while they will not actually specify a date, they do say it is close and really just in final QA stages. Of course, if at the last minute they find a problem... But such is any update.

I've been using a beta version on my camera since NAB and have seen no issues either. I'm not sure what the hold up is.
 
Are there any real benefits for those of us who purchased S-Log? I doubt that I would use the built in SxS S-Log as opposed to the 10 bit recorded version.
 
The CBK-RGB101 option ($899 upgrade or now included with the F3) enabled S-Log gamma as well as dual-link RGB 444 recording. The 1.4 firmware includes among its features the addition of S-Log Gamma as one of the Gamma choices in a picture profile.

The 1.4 firmware S-Log Gamma can be a 10 bit signal if you are recording to an external 10-bit recorder.

Nothing has changed about the camera other than the fact that there is one more available gamma option in a picture profile.

...and the paid version of the S-LOG includes built-in LUTs, correct?

With the free 1.4 we'll get the added sensitivity and gamma curve of S-LOG but no dual-link 444. That's my understanding.
 
Thanks for the addition-- LUTS with the paid version. The 1.4 firmware just gives you the gamma curve. But for those buying a new camera now, you're getting the former "paid version."
 
Does the new upcoming firmware mean that you'll be able to dial in the colour temperature when using S-LOG? I do this all the time when not using S-LOG and would find it a really useful tool to have. Thanks, Sparky
 
you can mess with the s-log adj function for now in the camera set menu - and you can tweak it up and down. but yes for run and gun work this would be a lot faster
