Panasonics systemkameror har länge varit några av de mest användbara för videoproffs. De har stött fler format och varit bättre anpassade för video än de flesta andra.

En av anledningarna till detta är att Panasonic ständigt släpper uppdateringar som ger kamerorna fler videofunktioner.

Nu kommer HLG-stöd i Photoshop via en plug-in till alla fyra fullformatkamerorna i Lumix S-serien.

Dessutom får Lumix S1, S1R och S5 stöd för Blackmagic Raw på 5,9 K via HDMI.

Kamerorna stöder också färgprofilerna ClassicNeo och L.Monochrome S efter den senaste firmware-uppdateringen.

Här är en översikt över uppdateringarna:
