So why didn't sony allow naming of the picture profiles? Coming from a PMW-350 it seems like a glaring omission to me. Quite hard to remember what you've setup in each profile. Writing them down somewhere else? Talk about old school! maybe it's just a features vs other models issue? I presume F5/55 have this capability?

I have a letter sized print with all settings in my camera bag. I use it for set up but also to remember in detail which settings I have used. Even tough you could name settings individual the name wouldn't be long enough to pick all detail. So far no problem for me.

I am in Laos filming a documentary, and the ND filter just got stuck halfway across the sensor and our shoot has been dramatically altered. We have a new GH4 as a backup but not being able to film in 4K Raw has dampened the proceedings. Please be careful everyone when moving your ND Filters. My camera is almost 2 years old. Does anyone know the cost of repairing this? Unfortunately we are only here for a week and the camera would need to be sent for Bangkok for a week so we are up the creek so to speak.

That happened to me last month, for me the filters weren't only stuck but the latch broke off too.
Sony had to replace the entire CMOS assembly, have no idea why the nd filters are built in. Without the extended warranty it cost about $1900 for the parts and labor. Pretty ridiculous just to replace the nd filters, but luckily took a couple days to fix
