another 1.1 fw video :

can't stop to be impressed, perfect for commercial shooting... nice low light 1:28 oops haha

(NOT SURE IF IT IS 1.1, BUT IS A VERY RECENT UPLOAD) !EDIT : Its the old Driftwood 132mbps hack.!

have nothing to say but to watch. 0:58 car scene...

@starstuff it's being accessed by one function or another.

@AlexManta

Just use larger increment.
And try to read Beginners topic next time :-)
We'll try to move most useful fings to FAQ, but it'll take some time.

@cjdincer

We have FAQ, look at the top menu :-)

Hi there everyone!
I've got a question and found no topics better suited for it like this. I have a european GH2 (Hungarian) fw 1.0 without hack. I see on the hungarian panasonic site that 1.1 is not available yet, maybe not have been translated yet. My question if it is possible to load the fw 1.1 from the link on the first page although it is not for my country? Or does it count anyway? Another question is if it will be available to hack it (even back to 1.0fw) after 1.1 is installed?
Thank You & have a nice Christmas to all of You!

Regards,
Tom

I found this in vimeo, very low light to ISO 3,200 using the Panix 20mm 1.7 lens.

no but seriously in my guess this kind of toy is more going to the ag-af100 successor, for maybe cinematographic , panasonic would kill red...

Remember : Now they say, it is a ‘flagship’ and ‘very important’. source : www.eoshd.com

i would want to see a canon c300 rival

>I'd like to see 12-bit 4:4:4 H.264, at minimum this would be a profile change of the H.264 encoder, and variable change

If you're talking about the GH2 neither 12-bit or 4:4:4 is supported by the sensor. It's 10-bit and 4:2:2 but as it looks that output ain't accessible for us to use.

That 64GB Sandisk is pretty fast.

4:2:0 23.976 fps 1080p uncompressed would be ~570 megabit, or ~71 mb/s, without any lossless compression, H.264 has a lossless mode, and then there are things like FFV1 that may be ported to FW in the distant future if wanted. Many lossless codecs can achieve over 2:1 compression ratio as a minimum, some averaging 3:1 or just over 3:1 depending on what space is used.

4:4:4 25 fps 1080p (8-bit) uncompressed would be ~1.2 gigabit, or 148 mb/s, min of 2:1 compression would pull that down under 90 mb/s, and an average of ~3:1 would be very nice. Would be a huge amount of work to port over and implement something like FFV1

HDMI is 4:2:2 from the original data isn't with the GH2 as I recall? I don't think 4:2:2 is a pipe dream. I'd like to see 12-bit 4:4:4 H.264, at minimum this would be a profile change of the H.264 encoder, and variable change.

Anyway seems to be alright at the moment, I would call this secondary to a GH3 with no jello-cam, with the same level of hack quality we have now.

New firmware test up to 3200 iso:

Can't wait for the hack/patch for the new 25p firmware. Wasn't overly happy with the results I got shooting on the new High Bit Rate firmware.

nice low light test here:


don't really need to up in iso 3200 to get reasonable look. Not really sure but im sure it is fw 1.1 just need a reply from uploader can someone ask ISO info ?

nice scenes at 0:24, 0:30, (0:40 nice visibility of buildings in the back)

@Krolik - Krampus appear in Cameron Jamie's "Kranky Klaus" A brilliant piece of documentary film. Worth the watch if you get the chance.
