This is my first experience with 4K. I just got my GH4 a few days ago, and tried 4K (UHD, 3840x2160) for the first time today. I was surprised to see that the FOV is cropped in compared with 2K (1920x1080). Since they're both 16:9, I don't understand why this is. Could someone please explain it to me?

Thanks!
 
Yes, 4K does crop. It's using the native pixels on the sensor within the 4k crop you see (no line skipping). This picture from EOSHD shows it best:
