New Firmware!

Kudos to Panasonic and Jan for getting the upgrade process quickly straightened out for us Mac users. And thanks to Noel for the easy to follow instructions. It's all good now.
 
Yes, thanks to Panasonic and Jan for getting this update out so quickly. This is my first big panasonic purchase as I've been a sony user and a canon user for my career. I must say, the fact that Jan is here to answer questions, makes me want to continue with Panasonic for future purchases!
Thanks Noel for the no BS step by step! Very helpful
 
That was easy. And appreciated.

I for one found the green bias a little more than subtle and this cleaned it up noticeably. The EVF and LCD are almost identical now which was NOT the case before.

Thanks Panasonic!
 
Guys and Gals,

When you do the upgrade there is an initial blanking out of the screen where it may seem that the camera is not doing anything. DO NOT TURN THE CAMERA OFF. It is doing something.

Have Fun!

Yes, I was getting a little nervous. Mine stayed blank for a good 60 sec.

Yes, but I did notice a little red LED (by the power switch, I think), blinking rapidly, which I took as the camera downloading firmware or something like that.
 
So what does the latest firmware address? Or all the firmware updates? I haven't done any updating yet. People are talking here about a fix on the monitors green tint? Really? That's cool!

See the first post of this thread or the link to the firmware update.
 
thanks jan for getting these changes made ASAP. is there a 1:1 pixel mapping in the future.

Are you referring to a 1:1 zoom on the 1080p image for assisting focus, or a 1:1 pixel crop recording mode like the GH2's ETC mode?
 
Hey guys, Thanks for all the tips. I can't seem to get the camera to recognize the 1.15 update. I went through all the steps:

1. formatted my sd card via the camera
2. downloaded and unziped the update file
3. replaced the root "private" folder on the sd card with the updated file
4. inserted sd card into camera and proceeded to the update menu

Every time the camera give me a "check card" message! AHHHHHH. Anyone else had this come up? Ideas?
