On mobile devices up to this date the best you can get for 4K/60p via the YouTube app is 1080/60p. Unlike 4K/30,25,24p which are still playable up to 1440/30,25,24p if both the screen and chipset allow that. On the Mac desktop OS, Chrome may be the only one that works perfectly up to 4K/60p while Firefox and Safari either cannot yet or often are unreliable in case your hardware is already up to it.

^ That's exactly what I've found.

Mine plays via Chrome as 4K 50p, thanks for the tip.

As mentioned above, time for Safari to follow suit.

Hi

New firmware as promised due on the 24 April which enables 10bit 4.2.2 in FHD and Anamorphic 4:3, with a couple of bug fixes.

The next version later in the summer enables All-I 400Mbps or 200Mbps if 1080. I suspect the delay in this is partly due to the lack of available of V60 rated SDXC cards, which should be changing in the next month or two.

As a note, if buying a new SDXC card, ignore any that don't show either V30 or V60 support (V60 are hard to find currently). Cards that do are different, it isn't just a new speed rating moniker, it also means the card has hardware/firmware changes that allows it to report to supporting cameras (the GH5 is one) things like sector sizes, so the camera paired with the card has a guaranteed minimum write speed for video. Other things go on with the card that allow it maintain a minimum speed rating regardless of it's use state.

For realtime video recording, its the minimum speed that is important, rather than any headline maximum speeds reached in lab testing conditions, and the Vnn rating guarantees a minimum speed specifically for the types of writing the card sees when real-time recording.

It looks like the GH5's DMW-XLR1 audio adapter allows mic input one to be sent to input 2 as well. Very nice, pretty standard but, as far as I can tell, the level for input 2 is controlled by input 1. So I can't set the level of input 2 a little different than input 1 which is something I like to do to avoid any possible "over-driven" situations which may arise. Can anyone confirm this? Did I miss something?
Thanks!

Yes a bit of a disappointment for me too. On my Sony's I use one mic on input 1 and feed to both Channel 1 and Channel 2. Have Channel 1 ALC and Channel 2 manual. This not possible with the XLR unit for the GH5. Also it is not possible to have one input with ALC and the other manual even with separate inputs. ALC is either On or OFF for both as far as I can figure out. Also it is not possible to feed one mic to both channels and have one channel set lower than the other, That is a real issue I think. Unless I am missing something I cannot get mine to do anything other than separate inputs on manual, feed one mic to both channels controlled by input 1 or set ALC which will then control both channels. Same size as the Sony unit for my NX30U but nowhere near as comprehensive control.

Bit of a pain. Not a deal-killer but they should of thought about this a bit more.

Also the new flavor of camera raw .rw2 files are going to make me have to go to CC Adobe Photoshop unless they decide to upgrade camera raw for CS 6 Photoshop...now that's a real pain!!

The standalone Adobe DNG convertor should enable you to convert the .rw2 files to .dng, which Photoshop CS6 can handle.

Yes Alan, I was hoping that when I downloaded and tried it the other day but it didn't work for me I'm sorry to say.
