Looks like if I have my GH4 set to 10bit 4:2:2 and my Ninja2 plugged in I'm unable to set a manual white balance. Not having it plugged in the option is available...

Anyone with a Shogun / Assassin / Q7 / PIX5 confirm its the same (or not)

Thanks!
 
Just discovered this myself yesterday. Kind of bummed about it. 8bit is fine as well but 10but output had to sacrifice a few things. The GH4 even gives a warning that using 10bit eliminates some camera functionality. Pretty sad that manual white balance is one of those things that gets turned off.

With that said dialing in a specific color temp still works fine with 10bit. Plus the manual white balance works to store in camera into the 4 presets. So if you set ahead of time at 8bit or with HDMI unplugged you can quickly move between the presets that you set ahead of time. I know it is far from idea and a huge drag. For a studio shoot where I know my lights are 5600k it isn't a huge deal but I could see this potentially becoming a problem for run&gun.
 
Oh well. I did wonder if it was the 4K > 1080 in camera that disabled the MWB. So it's the same with 4K too.

Thanks all
