GH3 GH4 Cinema 4K is 24fps, not 23.976fps?

Just record your sound at the same frame rate as your camera

I've never seen an audio recorder that has 'frame rate' settings. Only bit depth and sample rate, neither of which will affect the sync timing.

"4K" is a Digital Cinema (DCI) term that refers to a film projection format whose dimensions are specified as 4096x2160 at 24.0 fps. This is one of the formats used to deliver modern feature films to commercial movie theaters.

A video whose dimensions are 3840x2160 at 23.976 fps is in "Quad HD" format. It is an extension of the 1920x1080 "Full HD" 23.976 fps format that is used in Blu-Ray discs and digital broadcast television.

Thomas is correct. I am actually dealing with exactly this problem, because we had 2x GH4's and external audio and one was set at 24 and the other 23.976. Editing isn't such a problem, but if you wanted to do multicam or sync audio using Pluraleyes, etc, it s a major problem.

Weird. Audio files don't have any inherent 'frame rate'. 1 second of sound lasts for 1 second, whether it's paired with 24 fps footage or 60 fps footage.
