## Overview

The Panasonic DMW-SFU1-VLOG Firmware Upgrade Kit enables V-Log L video recording on select Lumix cameras (GH4, GH5, G9, FZ2500), increasing dynamic range from 10 to 12 stops and allowing 10-bit internal recording on GH5/G9 models.

## Description

Panasonic LUMIX log video recording (V-Log L) is now available for the LUMIX GH4, GH5 and FZ2500 digital cameras. V-log L offers exceptional flexibility as well as wider dynamic range for color grading in post-production process. Panasonic V-Log/ V-Log L were developed to feature similar characteristics to Cineon, which is a characteristic curve for Film digitalization. Taking full advantage of lumix four Thirds sensors, V-Log L boasts a Log characteristic with 12 stops. Both V-Log and V-Log L have the same characteristic curve, and LUT (look up table) can be utilized. * not for use with international, imported.

Review: Worked like a charm in 2025 - Was recently gifted the FZ2500 by a relative and wanted to add V-Log to the camera. As others have said the process is a bit antiquated with the code being on a piece of cardboard and needing to go through some tedious steps, but confirming it was successful despite this camera being almost a decade old. Also want to note that this camera was purchased in China, or at the very least in Asia. Some have said this code only works for US models but I’m glad that wasn’t the case.
Review: Required firmware accessory for GH-4. Snail mail code policy is kind of dated. Recommend. - Required firmware accessory if you grade your GH-4 / GH-5 footage, Gives you a consistent flat, profile that is a great baseline to grade. You will need to know how to expose your footage properly to take full advantage. The only issue with this upgrade is that is should just be pre-installed on all GH series camera now, like GH-5s. Also, the idea that I have to physically mail-order a piece of paper with a code on it is kind of silly in 2018. This could very easily be done on-line immediately. I guess Panasonic is paranoid about bootlegging. Item arrived on-time and as advertised.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you don't buy this, your camera isn't working as well as it should.
*by K***. on November 16, 2020*

There are good reasons for this to be a separate purchase. This is very close to true RAW recording, and of course it'll produce a flat image. You're meant to grade that image, and if they included this with the camera, half the reviews would be complaining that the camera isn't cranking out usable video. So, it's separate; and that's a good thing. Add that to the price of the camera and it lands right in it's bracket where it should be, so far as price is concerned. As for how it performs? It's what you expect. It opens the taps on that camera and gives you everything it's got to offer. While I found the camera itself confusing and eventually bought something else, this particular purchase is something I would consider mandatory for anyone interested in cinema or even video.
