I agree and thanks. I wonder if there’s a disconnect somewhere – something I’m not quite understanding because the final captures have all been in synch.

Appreciate the responses though – I plan to carry on cautiously. ;>)

Hey thanks for responding. Yeah, I thought it was plenty odd too so I called Panasonic and one of their techs checked out their documentation and confirmed it. I still don’t believe it – like you said, why would they want to go through the extra processing – maybe it’s cheaper for them – who knows?

I will say that the finished capture seems fine so I may not worry too much about it. I do like the camera for off the cuff stuff and family footage. Maybe the pro camera was set to 12-bit recording by mistake.

Mystery so far… to me anyway.
