GH4 recording cap

pietz — Sat, 21 Jun 2014 10:46:49 +0000

I live in Germany which is why i got an european GH4 and as it turns out, it does have a recording cap of 29min59sec. when recording 4k it will create a new .mov when the file reaches 4GB, but it only does that so often until the recording time reaches 30min.

i contacted Panasonic to see if i can download the US 1.0 firmware and reinstall it as a firmware update, but thats not supposed to be possible.

so im asking you. do you have any ideas to get around this boundary?

Thank you very much

Don’t lose a slim cap

I made a dumb mistake in swapping front lens caps between 14mm and 20mm when I sold 20mm. Both 46mm size, but 14mm one is slimmer. Sound silly but the few millimeters difference does make noticeable difference since the pancake is so tiny.

The price of the slim cap is $25 from ebay. No one else sells it. Geez. Adorama sells original Lumix lens caps for 46/52/62/67mm at cheaper price, but that's not the slim 46mm cap. Some suggested Leica slim lens cap at $27. Nah.

Luckily the buyer agreed to exchange the caps. Thank gawd.
