By Louis Ferreira | Published: October 23, 2018

Panasonic has dramatically improved their AF, which is good news because the Fujifilm X-T3 is looking to challenge the GH line today and the GH6 is likely not ready to launch yet.

  • Fix of a One-Push-AE bug in Creative M mode, when SS/Gain-Operation is set to Angle/ISO
  • Fix of bug that sometimes caused timecode to be reset upon battery change
  • Fix of a bug that caused showing all footage, instead of just the intended frame in 6k/4k Photo mode

Updates to the GH5S (firmware 1.2):

  • Improvement of tracking performance and minimizing of backfocusing in continuous AF mode with 225 AF points
  • Fix of a bug that caused the camera to not react appropriately to brightness changes under fluorescent light
  • Fix of a One-Push-AE bug in Creative M mode, when SS/Gain-Operation is set to Angle/ISO
  • Improvement of image quality when using V-Log for VFR recording in Creative Mode
  • Improvement of image quality when using the Intelligent Dynamic Range Controlfeature

Updates to the G9 (firmware 1.2):

  • Improvement of tracking performance and minimizing of backfocusing in continuous AF mode with 225 AF points
  • Fix of a bug that caused the camera to not react appropriately to brightness changes under fluorescent light

Sony Sensor Updates Their CMOS Image Sensors for Consumer Cameras With New MFT Sensors

By Louis Ferreira | Published: October 17, 2018


Sony semiconductors updated their CMOS Image Sensors for Consumer Cameras and it now likely shows the sensor inside the Fujifilm X-T3, and it also now includes the sensors inside the Panasonic GH5, G9, and GH5s. You might be able to find some additional details through Sony’s semiconductor page, but it’s surprising it took them this long to publicly list these sensors.
