I have a quick video of both my cameras. The first camera is the one with the issue and I have followed by another GH2 which is functioning reliably and well with the Sanity X hack patched in. [

Ideas and/or suggestions on what I could try would be appreciated.

A big thanks to those who have placed so much effort into creating hacks for the gh2. I hope to explore the true value of a hacked GH2 as I navigate my way around this site.

Any direction where to find the answer would be greatly appreciated.

I just bought a used GH2 from eBay. When I got the camera, I quickly noticed some horizontal magenta sensor flaring/streaking when pointing at a bright light over a dark background. I tested the same lens on a GH4 and the issue was not present, so I am certain this is from the sensor. I sent the following video to the seller and he refunded me and told me to keep the camera. Is the behavior in the video below known behavior for the GH2, or is it indeed faulty? This is the only lighting scenario where the camera does this. It is otherwise perfectly fine and usable. Admittedly, the ISO is really high at 3200, but I'm hoping it's not normal GH2 behavior.

Version 1.2, adding "Improve the compatibility of Panasonic battery". Hope it is compatible with the 1.1 hacks.

GX10 will have a plug for a microphone but not for headphone and is planned for the beginning of 2020

According to my data it'll be minimal update as almost all Panasonic resources moved from m43 bodies.

All major features must be same, including 30 min limits, non working HDMi during capture and so on.

New LSI must debut only with GH6 as far as I know.

Interview

Samples and videos

4K crop calculations:

Stills horizontal resolution - 4608
Cinema 4K horizontal resolution - 4096
4K horizontal resolution - 3840

This makes crop:

• Cinema 4K - 1,125x
• 4K - 1,2x

of course, it is additional crop (to 2x typical for m43), so you must multiple two if you need to know relative FF crop.

Any suggestions what to do to to be able to do it all from the Iphone again without touching the GH5?

I only bought a new - for me - GH2 to replace a stolen one and hacked it as usual. The update goes through fine, but for some reason no matter what I do, it stops video recording at 12min and cannot play any of them. Stills are shown fine.

I have tried different SD-cards that work fine on GH4 in all-intra mode. Previously with GH2 I was able to do 88mbit/s, now I tried only 44, no change. Stops at 12min even after creating a new file after the 4GB limit of the FS was exceeded i.e. the video files are playable on computer (VLC/Mplayer).

Any idea what might be the problem?

Shown with the new LanParte Remote Handle

Lanparte has created a new camera cage for the full frame Lumix S1 and S1R. The cage is customized to perfectly fit the camera body. And it does fit very nicely as I tried on a S1 at Kenmore Camera, near Seattle.

The cage and camera connected by the quick release Manfroto compatible 701 plate and has a safety locking latch on the left side.

The cameraperson can remove the camera body from the cage in seconds.

All the ports and switches are not blocked by the cage.

There are plenty of 1/4”-20 and 3/8”-16 thread holes on each side to cage body to attach to other devices such as handles, lights, etc. 

Also there are NATO rails. One removable and one built-in on the right side of the cage.

A good solution for mounting accessories on your S1.

I've adapted several longers FD lenses to my GH2 and it works of course but I would really love a true M43 400mm or longer lens. I suppose with the Metabones thingy I could adapt a Canon 600mm EF lens and go that route but that'll cost many benjamins for sure. My 100-300 lens is very portable so I think that 400mm could be done but perhaps 300mm is the technological sweet spot for M43 cams and lenses and going 400mm would be just too difficult?

Harold

Since the beginning (at least since the GH2, the 1st Panasonic that I've had - after that was a GX7 and GX85), when using adapted or m4/3 lenses without contacts, like the Rokinons, when you press the rear dial, the enlarged view was activated in the LCD/EVF, which was very convenient to help focusing. But when first trying the GX9, pressing the rear dial with my Rokinon 12mm have no effect at all.

When looking more closely, I've discovered that in S,M or video modes, pressing the back dial have the previous known behaviour: the enlarged view is engaged. But in the A ou P modes, nothing happens. Did a factory reset, same thing.

Anyone have this camera and can confirm this? And someone knows how to report a firmware bug to Panasonic?

From Panasonic we can see another compact, expensive, not for video, overheating m43 camera. No 4K 60fps and all else. All new lenses they will release extremely slow will be only top margin. Only thing Panasonic managers are talking now is how to reach maximal margin on any product. As Panasonic is planning to shrink cameras production factories soon it is also handy. Management is not even sure if S system will live another year, as for now sales are horribly bad.

From Olympus it is all too fuzzy, company now try to use various false rumors and prototype products to hike camera department price or to get more bonuses for managers during merger. Yet they have one old design camera at hand they can try to release, but I am not sure.

I'm also wondering how I can prevent this from happening again. I was shooting 4K 10-bit 23.976fps using a Lexar U3 150 mb/s SD card with 128GB of storage (I had used 122gb by the end of the take, and had a few gigs to spare.) I was also using a 3rd party battery by Newmowa, but it had plenty of charge remaining.

Thanks for reading! Any leads at all would be hugely appreciated.

10 years later Panasonic will announce a new Full Frame system camera on September 25!

Word on the street is that Panasonic will show a prototype and the final product will be on market during the first half of 2019.

One of the sources testing the camera said this is “as exciting as the Nikon Z7 announcement“. One went even further and said it’s “more exciting“. But of course, they might got carried away with their emotions so let’s keep our feet on ground. A third source said “video performance is superb“.

https://www.43rumors.com/ft5-panasonic-will-announce-its-first-full-frame-system-camera-on-september-25/

This means 27 weeks of street demonstration with, violence from both sides and repression is now out of limits with new laws allowing abusive arrests and violence with hundreds of severely wounded protesters. However, protesters are not willing to give up.

I personally followed 14th of those events in Paris, as photojournalist. I own a wide range of cameras such as Nikon D750, Nikon D5500, Sony A7M2 and GH5.

After different test and try, I decided to stick to the GH5 as I can easily switch from photos to videos. Also, having more depth of field at wide aperture is an advantage in this kind of environment.

I just wanted to share some of my shots, to show what M43 can do in a difficult working surrounding.

I am using Lumix lenses : 7-14 mm f/4, 12-35 mm f/2.8, 35-100 mm f/2.8, 100 - 300 mm f/4-5.6
