I have downloaded and installed the firmware V2 for the Panasonic GH4 .
I am unable to select 4K photo mode as it’s greyed out ! The camera shows that V2 is installed.
Has anyone else this problem. I would appreciate any help as I have spent a couple of hours trying to see if I could select it without luck.
Did you find out?
I THINK it is because your SD card isnt up to spec for 4k…
Did you try the fastest SD cards?
