I updated with my GH2 with 1.0 body firmware. The docs don't even mention the GH2, but the process is identical the the GH1.

Just make sure you format the card in the camera first, it won't work if you use a PC formatted card.
 
and nothing for the 20mm pancake? deception. I wish the autofocus was a bit smarter on this lens...
 
They have updated the autofocus for the 20mm. However, you have to buy the 25mm F1.4 to get it. I think they kind of gave up on the 20mm as a viable CAF lens.

The 25mm should fit that bill well. However, it is much bigger and much more expensive.

I updated my hacked GH2 with the 14mm F2.5 firmware this morning. I tested it for continuous and constant aperture and for focus noise before I updated it and after the update. Nothing changed even though the update was successful.

The “HD” designation is nothing more than a marketing ploy. The “HD” logo was used to justify the 14-140mm lens higher price. The other lenses had the same features all along they just didn’t have the logo.
