Panasonic has finished something with the elementary firmware refurbish which Adobe can’t appear to conduct with a group of engineers as well as the couple of years of work: Improving a opening of peep (rimshot). Joking in reserve, those who make use of the GF1, the GH1 or a G1 cameras to fire video will be gratified with a brand-new firmware refurbish, released currently.

For all 3 of a Four Thirds (and Micro Four Thirds) bodies, a updates urge autofocus opening with third-party lenses. The G1 as well as GH1 both embrace “improved modulation correctness of peep,” and a GH1 alone gets a capability to make use of AF whilst sharpened HD video with concordant lenses, as well as improved AF performance when regulating a 45mm ƒ2.8 Leica Four Thirds lens while recording movies.

In a interests of reserve, I downloaded as well as commissioned the brand-new firmware upon my GF1. It went uniformly, as well as zero has damaged (yet). For me, but any third-party lenses, it isn’t scarcely as overwhelming a feature-adding v1.1 refurbish from November final year, though during slightest I know I’m up to date. Available right away, links next.
