@Nomad
Most of the suggestions Vitaliy makes sense, and I did not registered for it . Thanks. Most of my fun with GH2 is catching the moment so it might be a little slow. Practice makes perfect.

Is it possible to create a preview function, so before turning on the "rec" button to see looks like the image during recording? Would be very helpful when setting the white balance.

@Alfi666

No it is incorrect. Why no just try and not make fantasies?
And use Basic questions topic instead!

Question: I own both the GH2 and G2 and have the hacks running on both cameras. On the G2 there was only one set of hack settings I've seen posted and applied those with great success......the problem is with my GH2~ I can't find anyone who has setup settings that allow for 60+mbps settings at 720p (mjpeg) like I'm able to achieve with the G2- any reason why? I would assume the GH2 should be able to achieve 100mbps or greater at 720p mjpeg but have yet to find any settings posted anywhere.....have I missed something guys?
I'd like the maximum stable 720 settings the GH2 can handle with typical CL10 cards using Mjpeg.
Thanks guys!

You know that only works if you shoot JPeg tho right?

When shooting RAW that "AutoReview" image can be displayed and all but it's a quarter or eighths scale embedded jpeg - which when zoomed past 2x is just total interpolated mush not useful for pivel-peeping. :(

Shooting Jpeg seems to display the full res image tho! I wonder how many people shoot jpeg on their GH or GF cameras? I'm a RAW shooter myself. {shrug}.

@Joris

What do you mean?

@evero

I won't do this.
Because this topics are not for frequently asked questions.
And both are very easy to find.
Just click on proper category, only22 topics in it.

it is ready, if you stay conservative. The main problem currently is that spanning (that ability for the camera to automatically start recording to a new file when it reaches the 4GB file limit) does not work reliably if you go much over the stock bitrates. If that is not important to you, its not hard to do. If it is important to you to have spanning (ie continuous recording for more than ~20min at a time (less if you set to a high bitrate) ) then use these settings: of mine - not a dramatic quality increase over stock, but spanning will always work, even on mediocre SD cards:

Edit - the main problem as I see it - spanning may not be the main problem for others - don't want to speak for them

@kkfok

Yes.
See PM.

Guys, who have extra GH1.
I am searching for someone who could provide GH1 body for Chris (he'll return it if it won't be bricked :-) ).
He is mostly focused on film modes research and having body at hand and making risky patches could speed it up very considerable.
Results will be very useful for GH2 and other camera users, because film modes implementation is very similar among them.

@vitaly, i bought a gh2 about 4 months ago. I want to do high-end video production. i felt that the GH2 would be a strong platform, and heard that "hacks" would improve performance. with that in mind, i want max video potential with the highest bitrate i can, and i have no concern about photo settings. if you don't have a consolidation of all the settings, i'd be more than happy to help create one, but if you do have a consolidation of settings, that would be very helpful. last, if i mess things up, how easy is it to take the gh2 back to its original or previous state? ps: thx so much for all your work, i look forward to donating once my gh2 has been reset.

Sounds good:) Hopefully there will update the firmware, the new AVCHD spec. Then the whole, thanks to your work once more! One more question: Can we soon hope to telecrop hdmi with no problems?

Ooops, I see, 30 secs - 30 mins, sorry!
