Panasonic details upcoming firmware updates for GH5, GH5S and G9 cameras

 

 

Panasonic has announced new firmware updates for the GH5, GH5S and the G9 that will be available on May 30, 2018. This announcement comes a bit ahead of the actual release, which is unusual but probably not unwelcome. This update, though not available for download until May 30, is slated to improve AF performance across all three cameras as well as adjust the already great in-body image stabilization found in the GH5 and G9. Panasonic also promises more new functions and other improvements for all three cameras, though specifics on those improvements was not provided at this time. 

The new firmware includes following upgrades:

LUMIX DC-GH5 Firmware Ver.2.3
