Had a problem with the Micro HDMI cable - it seems to work fine.

No issues with 4K out to the Shogun on my end.

Is this mainly for those who want to use a Shogun with their GH4 ?

Mainly for those who want to use any kind of external recording.

I did the upgrade and can't seem get the HDMI control to work with the Ninja Star. Anyone have any success?

Seems like the Ninja Star will need a firmware update to work with the protocol for some reason. I would definitely send in a support ticket for that feature, as I have confirmed that it does not work with the GH4 start/stop and timecode protocols even though the Shogun works fine.

Start/stop over HDMI needs to be activated in both GH4 and the shogun under "Trigger"

Thanks Gary for the response. Will do on the support ticket.

I have been trying to update from 2.0 to 2.1 but all I get is the dreaded "no valid picture" whenever I try to upgrade. Never had this issue before and I have tried all method and solutions suggested several places without any luck, like these:

You are right Bo, that did the trick.. THANKS!!! The other link was also from Panasonic, so that is just strange.

Yes, your firmware should be named GH4_VER and then the version number. I believe the one that starts with AH4 is for Japanese models.

I've been bit by that for the last two firmware updates. Seems like the Japanese firmware update goes live first followed by the USA/Europe one.

Yeah I think you are right, but a lot of people are downloading the AH4.
