In nuce: As editor John Aldred from diyphotography.net reported in a comment on 20 September this year, the Ver.2.2 firmware update for the Lumix GH6 has gone online. The update has been available online since 27 September. According to Aldred, the new feature that users should be most pleased about is that – as Panasonic’s announcement states – “direct recording and playback of videos/photos via an SSD with USB connection” is now also supported. According to Aldred, one of the main requests from GH6 users to date has been that the device should be able to record directly to SSD.
In toto: In his commentary, Aldred discusses some of the technical specifications of the update. The most important ones follow below:
- Record to SSD with a maximum capacity of 2TB using Apple ProRes 422 HQ (max. 1.9Gbps) or 4:2:2 10-bit All-Intra at high bitrate.
- The new update limits the size of the SSD to 2 TB, which according to Aldred is not a major limitation, partly because 1 TB is the standard for USB SSDs these days, he writes.
- A negligible drop of bitterness: Simultaneous recording via SD card or CFexpress card slots – while recording to SSD – is not possible, according to Aldred.
