Should Panasonic add a Minimum Shutter Duration setting to the GH4?

I really thought that this GH4 firmware update would be heavily geared towards video features. Adding S-Log, fixing the 96 FPS resolution issue, and improved 4K focusing all seemed like reasonable items that they would add or update.

I was shocked and pleased to see the updates were photocentric. Ironically they seem to follow the video that I posted. I asked for a few features that would help take pictures and videos simultaneously and they appears to be exactly what this update does.

Now I am sure this was their plan all along and my video had no influence on them. However, I really would like to know if they will implement the minimum shutter duration in Program Priority mode. That is essential for pulling the still frames from video like they are suggesting.

Their synopsis of the changes hints that you will be able to set the video settings exactly like you set photo settings. That means Aperture priority mode is out because it won’t let you control shutter speed. With stills and the mechanical shutter you sometimes don’t care what the shutter speed is. However, with video and the electronic shutter you always have to be careful about what shutter duration you are using to avoid skewing and strobing from fluorescent lighting sources.

Shutter Priority isn’t much use either because it won’t allow you to control aperture.

Manual control mode is good if they allow Auto ISO. However, you can’t currently adjust exposure compensation with Full manual controls in movie mode. Therefore, manual mode is not the best mode either.

In Program Priority mode you can adjust Aperture and shutter speed relative to each other and you can adjust exposure compensation as well. That is almost perfect except for Panasonic has chosen to set the minimum shutter duration at 1/60 of second for very wide lenses even if they are very fast as well.

1/60 just isn’t fast enough for a lot of situations. A min shutter duration would resolve all of these issues. I really hope that they implement that feature from the LX7.
