All the latest Panasonic Lumix Firmware Updates
Please bookmark this page to keep your gear up to date with the latest Lumix firmware updates. Being a huge fan and user of Lumix cameras, I will be keeping my eyes peeled for all the latest news.
One thing that attracted me to Panasonic Lumix cameras is how well Panny listen to and look after their customers. Ever since I bought the Panasonic Lumix GH4, they have always added, not just basic firmware updates, but full-on updates that add new features and functionality to sometimes aging cameras. This is very rare amongst other manufacturers.
