Panasonic LUMIX DMW-SFU1-VLOG V-Log L Function Firmware Upgrade for GH4 / FZ2500 / GH5

Panasonic LUMIX DMW-SFU1-VLOG V-Log L Function Firmware Upgrade

Product Overview

Designed in response to the high demands of the film production market, the Panasonic LUMIX DMW-SFU1-VLOG firmware upgrade now brings log video recording (V-Log L) capabilities to select LUMIX cameras. With this firmware update, users can achieve exceptional flexibility and a wider dynamic range that greatly enhances color grading during post-production. Built to mirror the characteristics of Cineon, this upgrade makes full use of the Four Thirds sensor, providing a log curve with an extended 12-stop dynamic range.

This firmware upgrade is an essential tool for professional videographers and film producers who require optimized compatibility between Panasonic cameras and industry-standard grading workflows. By maintaining a similar characteristic curve between V-Log and V-Log L, users can easily integrate LUTs (Look Up Tables) into their post-production process, simplifying the path to creative color adjustments.
