GH4 and remote shutter release

Hello there

I have 2 different 3'rd party remote shutters (Neewer and Xit both el chepo ebay) that I used OK with my old Panasonic FZ50.

However for the GH4 I can only trigger the video with it.. that would be ok in video mode but the top right dial is set for photo mode (A, P and so on).... so would be nice to take pictures with them too.

Is there a menu option or something I can use to change it... I tried disabling the video button option but that just makes a message pop up when I try remote shutter.

Something like this seems ideal

The smaller the better......

Any thoughts ?

Hi LoogieXX,

I am having the exact same issue as you. Have you found a solution? I am currently still searching for one.

Thanks!

Has anyone resolved this issue?

Seems like one of the deep dark secretes to this camera is being pushed aside.

Re: GH4 and remote shutter release

2018 and I am getting video only triggered from a remote shutter connection.. whatever mode is set on the dial.

My gh4 body firmware is 2.2.  There are updates to 2.7 available but none of them mention a fix for this issue.

Did anyone solve this?

Thanks in advance.
