Updating the Driver via SD card (Update)

[redindian]

How to update the driver in the Camera?

To update the driver, select PROPERTY on the thumbnail menu, and then SYSTEMINFO to check the version, then go to: https://eww.pavc.panasonic.co.jp/pro-av and download the necessary driver.

The updating procedure is completed when the downloaded file has been loaded into the camera via SD memory card

Page 125 in the manual. Sure, I finished reading 125 pages already

My question is: is driver == firmware.... so whenever problems come, Panasonic can release a firmware upgrade (like nikon, Canon, JVC) and we update it via SD card?

first adopters are not guinea pigs anymore... yaay!

Very very good thing.

yes/// awesome... if only the API was released.. there can potentially be 3rd party softwares to enhance the functionality!
