Panasonic issued a new firmware update which contains two Bugfixes:

1. There were cases where magenta or green cast was seen on the live view image during photo shooting/video recording. This bug has been fixed.
2. When recording video in [5.7K/5.8K] with a wide-angle lens and the [E-Stabilization(Video)] is set to ON, there were cases where particular part of the image frames were vertically shifted throughout the footage depending on the focal length. This bug has been fixed.

Japanese photographer Ochiai has been interviewed by Mynavi. He is worried about the current low sales of Lumix MFT cameras. In his opinion the main mistake is to not keep developing the smaller cameras like the GF-GM-GX series which added diversifaction and a cute compact choice.
