Hey! Thanks for the prompt reply. So this problem happens on all GH2 you mean? Anyway, I hope u have a fix for this when u release ur hacked firmware! (:

Its annoying to spend so much cash on this and have a silly problem like this when my 550D doesnt. Im used to record on milisecond accuracy on my 550d thats why. :p

exaxtly. get the middle goody part only.

Agree with CColton. If you've ever used an analogue or digital tape-based camcorder you would always include pre- and post-roll when shooting - and whatever the camera, it's useful to have those extra bits at the beginnings and ends of a shot. You never know when you might need them, and it's difficult to go back and get them afterwards!

I guess the 1-2 seconds it takes to write to the card is a quirk of these cameras. Doesn't really worry me, but of course you have to wait for it to do that. If stopping very quickly is an issue, the only reason I can imagine is that you want to capture something else immediately. If that's the case and you are wanting to move the camera quickly to another view / shot (and change lens angle, if you are using a zoom) then just leave it recording - and you don't risk missing anything that way (or having to resync the next shot, if it's continuous music). And, obviously, edit afterwards!

Haha okay guys. So im not the only one with this problem. (: ill start to get myself used to preroll n postroll (: cheers!

anyone know because it has both the background noise
GH2 microphone is normal?
