A highly trusted source told me Panasonic will release a new GH4 firmware update soon. Likely along the new GM2 (4K camera) release. I have no detailed info about the new freatures and fixes but I have been told the firmware will add RAW video recording (on external recorders).

In the meantime other sources confirmed there will be a new E-M1 firmware update too. it will be big but like I told you the past days it’s highly unlikely it will add 4K video recording.
