Oooooh firmware released...

Here we go!

I made some test shots with G6, and compiled it in a small movie, comments are wellcome:

Panasonic G6 + Olympus 45mm f1.8. 1080p-50p mp4 format- mostly standard settings... Some of the scenes were shot with tripod or monopod, some hand held, so some of the videos are shaky... SW used: Microsoft Movie Maker (sadly, it uses high compression, the original shots are more sharp and clear, + youtube is compressing it too... ) Focus modes used: AFS, AFF but mostly manual focus... In the last wasp and bee on flower scene extended tele conversion was used...

Hu. Just saw that the adobe camera raw plug in has no support for the G6 (yet, hopefully). http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html

Just got my G6 and it's quite equal to my GH2 in terms of image quality. I really like better LCD and focus peaking. Keeping both.

Hi...new to this forum and new to dlsr shooting. Used to have an Ex1....jumped in with the G6 and just shot a few bits on my second day of having the camera. Had pretty much everything on -5 apart from noise reduction. Thought this was the way to go if I wanted to grade. All this stuff was shot at 1080 24p straight out of camera, no colour correction.

Anyway take a look and any set up tips or advice greatly welcomed! Still getting used to this camera

Only issue I have had so far with the g6 is that it has frozen during reviewing footage in cam. Have to take the battery out and restart the camera. Wonder if this is because I didn't format the sd card when I first got it.......any thoughts?

I dont have problem like this. I have a different question....how to live streaming from g6 to pc ?

We need to let Panasonic know about this!

Lucky you digitalamator! Mine has done it once already today

I think it's a network problem, the new firmware addresses Mac problems with wifi, but there may be problems with the implementation itself. It seems it never times out and resets, if it did we should be able to fix it by terminating the wifi from the controlling unit, but that doesn't work. You have to pull the battery.

If you haven't experienced this problem, try to move out of wifi range while issuing commands to the camera, that's likely to set off this bug.

A car doesn't necessarily need a spare wheel, but sometimes it's nice to have, and the fact that when you pay for something it's reasonable that it actually works.

I just bought the G6 a week ago as an upgrade from the GH1. I love the many new features. Only I am not happy with the viewfinder, it is worse than the GH1. The viewfinder is not sharp, it only sharpens when i press the record-movie button. Is it maybe a wrong setting? Has anybody else has this problem.

Well, wifi is a nice feature, I can use my phone as a remote controller, (the first great advantage of the focus by wire tech is i can focus lenses through wifi), and even zooming with power zoom. I can set white balance and stuff, and with electronic shutter enabled it is a real stealth remote camera. Imagine this scenario: During wildlife photography, you can hide the camera in the near bushes where the bear uses to go, than you can make photos safely from a few 10 meters away. Or if our not interested in wildlife photography, you can just hide it in the neighbors bedroom :D Connection set is a peace of cake if you have nfc enabled phone, start the app first, then touch the camera with the phone, connection is made in a few seconds ...

Back to the froze issue. generally the freeze happens when I suddenly terminate the connection in the phone by going too far away, or exiting the Image app in the phone. if I terminate the connection in the camera first, usually is OK.
