Firmware 3.03: CGO3+ 4k exaggerated sharpness?

[vr-pilot]

Since having updated my YTH PRO RS from FW 3.01 to FW 3.03 I see excessive detail in my 4k (3840x2160) video files. So can it be that the update introduced quite a bit of exaggerated (electronically processed) sharpness?
Does anyone else notice this in the 4k videos?
Maybe the profiles (natural, gorgeous, ...) where changed to create more crisp 1080p video without taking into consideration the effect on 4k video? The mp4 codec now seems to be unable to cope with the exaggerated flood of details.

You can address sharpness with the following commands via your web browser address window at the top of your browser. If you think it's too crispy execute the first command to see what
it's set at and then lower accordingly. You implement the commands by using your computer to find the network which you camera works off join that network and then execute the commands. The higher the number the more sharpening has been applied, you can get the same results by sharpening in post..both methods are software and not physically changing focus of the lens. Default is 5 or 6, I'm currently set at 8 on all three of my H's...sharpening amount can and probably should be varied contingent on content. For example a mountain with not much detail could have a larger sharpening setting than a field of wheat which has thin vertical fine lines and which will show artifacts from over sharpening.

That sounds interesting. I will have some "free hours" the next days to check out how it works or if I can get it going. Could it also be possible to launch the commands via the ST16?
You say "both methods are software and physically changing focus of the lens", while method 1 would apply the camera sharpness command via network and method 2 would be post-sharpening in an editing software. I would need a less sharp image though, like it was with the FW3.01 package.
Is it possible, that the FW3.03 package changed the defaults "5 or 6" to a higher value in order to make the images look "better". (Oversharpened HD/4K-footage is difficult to handle. Missing anti aliasing is actually a technical flaw.)
Thanks for the expert advice and I hope I am lucky to get your "insider trick" working!

Physically changing the focus of a lens by software? Uuhhmmm...

That was a typo on my part...I meant to say Not physically changing the lens, With regard to another email someone sent me I just saw the mistake and was going to correct it when I saw your post...thanks...original post has been changed to what I meant to say.

Although that steals a lot of the "magic"

Today I have tried to connect my laptop with the CGO3+ WLAN and it worked instantly. Thanks again for the "trick"!
Meanwhile though I had made a FW combination bin file of FW3.04 and the FW3.01 camera setup (v3.2.26), which had given me better results by less sharp or "normal" 4K video.
I just made a sharpness readout and the FW3.01 CGO3+ (v3.2.26) sharpness value was set to "6".
I have not checked the FW3.03 or FW3.04 sharpness value, but I will do with the next FW update. Maybe it is then again set to 8, 9, or 10...?
"6" was a good (sharp enough) value, maybe "5" would be even better. This makes the normal HD videos (e.g. 1080p) look blurrier though...

Today I switched for 4K video (3840x2160p25) to sharpness 4 which gives "smooth" and natural details. The 50 mb/s mp4 codec can handle this picture setting much better.
I changed the sharpness setting via the web browser on the ST16. For easy access to the command lines I saved a .txt file with the "get" and "set" comands that can be copied from here and pasted into the browser address...
Thanks again for this advice!
(EDIT: I am using the EU lens version with 115° FOV)
