How long do the audio meters stay lit?

@zaven13 really good news! I really hope the Sandisk 64gb 95MB/s card will do for continuos shooting...could someone please try recording with this card as long as the battery and space lasts? thanks so much!

I did further testing of GH4 with various class 10 cards (Sandisk 64 GB 95MB/s, Sandisk 32GB 30MB/s, and Transcend 64GB SDXC I believe to be 20MB/s). I mounted the camera on the tripod and zoomed at the TV screen using Panny 14-140 lens. I tried various combinations of MP4 (LPCM) and MOV modes with different Rec Qualities including 4K (30p, 24p) FHD 200-I (60p, 24p, 30p), FHD 100 (60p, 24p, 30p). I recorded clips ranging from 10 - 20 minutes (specially 4k and 200-I for 20 minutes). All tests worked with no failures and spanned multiple times. Class 10 cards look promising.

@Vitaliy. You may want to start a new topic for GH4 firmware 1.0 bugs and issues. As more people get their cameras and start testing, they may find bugs and problems that they can post and Panasonic can monitor that topic for issues to fix in upcoming firmware updates.

FWIW, Amazon claims that they won't even have stock until April 30th, and I'm sure most/all of what they get will go to people who have already preordered.

@FilmingArt Agree that Samy's messed up with your order, but they generally seem to be reputable. They handled my order perfectly. They actually have a much better ResellerRating than Amazon (9.6 vs. 7.2). I'm sure part of the problem was that you ordered late Friday (Good Friday and Passover) over Easter weekend.

@mpgxsvcd, actually my GH2 dont give preview with the LCD screen open and I dont understand, I've never been bad use and use little cause Im making more photo still and for that use the NEX. Just one day opening the screen went black and I can only use it with the half-open screen or the EVF.

@discomandavis

Oh please. You are mad at them because you wanted to place a last minute order and rush the shipping? They had to inventory and ship 90 of these units in a matter of minutes and that was while they took orders for them. There were no guarantees that they would ship that day.

You should have preordered it like I did. I am sitting at home enjoying my new camera while you just sit at home and complain. You are lucky that Samys sold you one at all. Otherwise you would be waiting a lot longer for one.

They had to make sure all pre-order cameras went out first and that is what they did. I would have been really mad if they shipped your camera first instead of my pre-ordered one.

@FilmingArt I had a crappy experience with Sammy's as well. I should be getting my camera tomorrow, payed for overnight and all that jazz. I called at 11am to make sure everything was alright with the shipment, they said everything was good and that it would be shipped later that day.

No confirmation email, I call again at 4 to see whats going on. They screwed something up, and asked if they could call back in just a second. No call back, so I call at five and they hadn't done anything to fix it, they try and do the "we'll call you back" trick again. I am not having it. I stay on the line for a half hour, until things finally get straightened out. They say that it is too late to ship it? The last shipping hour for overnight at ups and fedex is like 5:30. Most the time when companies screw up they offer refunded shipping, or gift cards or something, nada. Not gonna buy with them again. But I should have my camera wednesday, I will have some tests posted as soon as I can.

@natureflixs

I have bought the GF1, GH2, GH3, and GH4 on day one. Both my GH2 and my GH3 had fatal defects right from the start. The GH2 wouldn't recognize the Panasonic batteries that it came with as valid batteries. The GH3 had a loose flash that made it think the flash was always open(Limits the camera to 1/160 or longer shutter speed).

Luckily this time my GH4 is flawless in terms of mechanical issues. I really predict that we will have a new firmware fairly soon. There are a couple of glaring software issues right away.

@JohnTollwannabe

Maybe if you actually spent more time working, than making silly posts you probably could afford the camera...... $1700 is Peanuts, several other SLR camera cost twice as much. Also professional tools in the Video and Film industry well over 30-80k+

Man Up, you either Make it Happen or Don't Peace

Samy's says my order from late Friday, Is boxed up and ready to go out today.

Tonight I will test for longer periods of time recoding from TV using Sandisk and Transcend 64GB SDXC class 10 cards and see what results do I get.

@jamesgh2. I reported in the previous page that all recording modes worked fine with Sandisk 30MB/s sdhc 32GB card including 100mbits. The only caveat is that I did not record clips over one minute,
