Today Panasonic has released the GH4 Firmware v2.1. It is mainly a usability/performance and external recorder update. No slow motion bit rate or frame rate improvements on this release. We analyzed a before and after on the files and detected no change in data. However recorded 4k footage has performance improvements. It is good to see that the camera continues to be updated by Panasonic and adding features filmmakers care about.
The following features are included:
| 2015/01/26 Ver.2.1 |

You can download the GH4 firmware 2.1 here from Panasonic!
- Be sure to install on a fresh full battery to avoid the possibility of a failed update.
- If your camera is working fine and you do not need these features there is no need to upgrade the firmware.
The GH4 is still one of the best camera’s available for slow motion on our list. Check the list here!
We still do not expect 120fps to ever be available aside from the 96fps on the camera. However it is almost a given that the GH4 Successor the GH5 will probably support 120fps at 1080p to a minimum.
