Q: 1. Recently bought this camera and updated to firmware 2.05 to try the high-speed video at 120fps. I'm using a PNY Elite 64gb card, u3, class 10, 95mb/s.

Q: 2. Does this camera ship with the updated firmware that allows for 120FPS recording? Or will I have to update it manually?

A: Unfortunately we do not have access to our inventory to be able to inspect the camera and the firmware version installed on it. It is not uncommon that from the time a camera leaves the manufacturer overseas and then arrives to the customer that a new firmware version may be released. Firmware updates are posted on manufacturers websites and are easy to perform. We always recommend that when receiving a new model camera, to check its firmware version to the most recent version posted on the manufacturers website.

Q: 7. Does this have the option to switch to 4:3?

A: Yes, but I believe only when in SD mode. I've only had mine for about a week. I shot some regular HD basketball clips at 60P and the quality was amazing. Then I shot some 4K basketball clips at 30P (60P isn't allowed when using 4K on this camera). The quality was great, but of course 30P isn't ideal for sports. Anyway...I figured I'd give you my thoughts in addition to the 4:3 question... Overall, I'm VERY happy with the purchase. The form factor is much smaller than my Panasonic AG-AC90, but still large enough to look pro . Hope this helps.

Q: 8. can you sync time-code with another GY-HM170 cam?
