Nearly. Just got so much going on at work plus the GH4 is taking a large part of my free time. I will endeavour to finish off HBR stuff and tightening a few 24p items asap.

True. Moon T4 has sharper luma frequency values in the matrix

Have you tried sharpening + 3 @johnhizzle

I agree that they are fuckin brilliant cameras, will never sell mine - this is my first test of Moon T7 which happened to be nighttime. Sorry about the hand held footage - I shot while on break as a musician at Four Seasons, Maui so couldn’t look too conspicuous! So cool that I could just put the GH2 into my fanny pack with the 20mm f1.7 - the small size of this camera and lens can be a real advantage!

Anyhow, I am indeed impressed with Driftwood’s Moon T7 hack & look forward to shooting in day light! There are a number of clips that I shot here on purpose to challenge in terms of aliasing & moire but I think the GH2/Moon T7 did an excellent job - much better than the GH3 in this area as well as with noise. The footage looks much better before Vimeo upload, also note that here are overhead fans in some of the clips which create flickering in the light which could be misinterpreted.

Question - In the “Creative Movie” menu I chose “24P Cinema” assuming it is the highest bit rate. I already read in this post that “High Bit Rate” (HBR) is a lower bit rate but am not sure what the “Manual Movie Mode” in this menu is in terms of bit rate? One more question please: When I export for Vimeo I just choose the 1080P share option in FCPX which is described for uploading to such sites. Is this my best option for retaining as much quality after Vimeo does it’s thing or is it better to export say in ProRes 422(HQ) and let Vimeo deal with that?

Moon t7, Before and after. I use davinchi resolve for grading. :)) I like this hack, really strong thing. http://yadi.sk/d/zb7GREQmHwBZL check the full hd video quality in 40 mbps (65 mb file size)

@bumsklumpen Really not much we can do there. The GH4 uses 8x8 and 4x4 Transform (like the GH3) except it is devoid of 4x4 scaling matrices (just the two unsurprising 8x8 matrices). The GH4 uses its own QP rate control. More info on this soon - it appears very few stream analysis progs work with 4k .mov wrappers as far as I can tell. Elecard goes bonkers on the frame rate when it does manage to open one, codecvisa just hangs on most stuff, and a few others Ive tried are refusing to open them point blank. FFmpeg console is the only way to go to rip out the raw h264 data from the .mov or mp4 containers which takes a bit more time and effort but I will be doing more of this shortly. There's nothing new to add to GH2 codec that I haven't learned already from the GH3 tbh so I doubt the GH2 will benefit from anything new.

Having said that I will put the finishing touches to the rest of moon T8 shortly. I still have two GH2s - treasure them - they're still fuckin brilliant cameras. :-)

@driftwood nick, i really enjoy the GH4 image in your test videos and i wonder if it's possible to get a kind of GH4onaGH2 setting?

@powderbanks, that is a great little piece you did there!

Another short little clip for my friend's shop.

Moon T7, 14-42 kit lens, variable ND.

@clkvang Very cool. It's magic when you find the right secret sauce of hack settings, cam settings, lenses, and color correction. GH2 still rocks. Glad you've got what you were looking for.

@celullo Brillant! Your cutting and use of space in the composition are awesome

@rezyserzycia good grading!
