Panasonic has announced its third firmware upgrade to the EVA1 camera which provides greater cost efficiency and futureproofing for the handheld cinema camera.
The free upgrade is available this month, with a key feature being a new HEVC H.265 codec that can record in 4K 50p/60p video with 4:2:0 10bit video sampling. Compared to the H.264 codec in version two, this allows up to twice the amount of compressed data, while maintaining the same high-quality video resolution.
