Stephen: “Looks like there might be a design or manufacturing problem with the E-M5 II LCD screen.  Mine seems to have failed after a couple of days of almost no usage, and I’m not the only one: http://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3813148#forum-post-55466632”

Rojocinco: “I want to show a time-lapse made with a GH4, it´s a sunset in Bilbao: https://youtu.be/Xx0j6wS3hJY“

Amadeusz: “It’s just a small thing, but I figured it might be interesting – some time ago I had a chance to test the Voigtlander 10,5mm/0,95 on the JVC GY-LS300. I accidentally took a shot of a test chart at f/0,95 using the entire Super35 sensor area of the JVC. Here it is http://videodslr.pl/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/040G0021.MOV_snapshot_00.05_2015.08.02_00.18.19.jpg
It obviously doesn’t cover the entire S35 sensor wide open. The situation got a bit better after stoping down (no samples to prove it, sorry) but I still would not recommend this combination.
On the other hand, the Voigtlander 42,5/0,95 which I used specificly to test the camera covers the Super35 easily. Here’s a sample at around f/4:

Egami spotted a new 3 CMOS Panasonic sensor patent for camcorders. What’s interesting for still photographers is that it also explains their on sensor PDAF technique. Maybe the next GH5 will feature their new on sensor PDAF…

Florian: “it is not a rumor, but rather the report of an incredible experience of customer friendliness of Panasonic: Since I destroyed my old GH1 just before our holiday, they loaned a GX8 to me. I have been using it for two weeks in the Swiss mountains and have started posting  some of my experiences and photographs here (more will follow): http://www.blog.floriansphotos.com/search/label/GX8%20adventure”

Aaron: “Not a rumor, but a color enhancing tip for the GH4. I shot this with Portrait Profile and added and Arri Alexa SL LUT in Premiere CC. I immediately noticed how the colors were brought to life in a more realistic palette. https://vimeo.com/135872969“

Olympus Russia posted that image of an OMD camera. They say there is a “secret code” to activate some additional info about the camera. UPDATE. Here is the procedure to display that info:

1. With a charged battery installed hold down the MENU button while switching on the camera.
2. When the LCD lights release the MENU button and immediately press it again, once.
3. In the menu go to SPANNER (line 5) and press RIGHT.
4. Press DOWN until you are at the LCD brightness screen (line 3).
5. Enter the brightness screen (shows twin adjusters) by pressing RIGHT and then press INFO and OK sequentially.
6. You will see on the LCD ‘OLYMPUS’ followed by the designation of your camera (eg E-P1).
7. Press in sequence UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, SHUTTER and UP for screen 1.
8. You are now in the hidden information screens: RIGHT = screen 2, DOWN = screen 3, LEFT = screen 4.
9. When you have your information simply switch off the camera.

This is the info you get:

PAGE 1:
•B
•U
•C
•A

I believe these number sequences are relating to the various firmware versions of the different controller boards in the camera and for further information please look at the same section for E-System cameras above.

PAGE 2:
