    @Meierhans its the manual who says that, i just repeating it. by that i mean the unhacked camera
    when i set the gh2 with ntsc, and then format my card to ntsc, it still only wants to record 50p, there just that error message, even when setting all things correct in ptools, i have put that question in http://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/443/basic-and-beginner-questions i get that error with the 1.0 hacked as the 1.1 firmware
    @valdi99, setting video out to pal or ntsc is just for streaming from the gh2 to a pal or ntsc tv, so says the manual

    @mozes - the ntsc file system (way of formatting SD card) has NOTHING to do with PAL or NTSC video/TV system! File systems and video systems are completely different thing, although they share the same name...

  • MeierhansMeierhans

    The PAL / NTSC switch does not only affect video output, but also the general mode the cam is running. (50 or 60 FPS). If you switch PAL/NTSC the option in Ptools on you can decide which mode you want to use. Just make sure that you reformat the card before recording. The you can use a cam that was bought as PAL in NTSC modes and visa versa. (Somehow got the feeling that you knew that and we have some misunderstandings here.. wrote it anyway so new people do not get confused.)

    For sofar i now, the pal or ntsc out is only for displaying on a pal or ntsc tv.
    If i for example format the card to ntsc (i have a pal camera) then i get a error message that have formated the card wrong.
    This message i get with version 1.1, but also with the hacked 1.0 version.

  • arvidtparvidtp

    yes. i forget exactly how to set to PAL because i have not done it, but it appears in one of the menus. i know you should reformat your card before or after doing it to clear NTSC footage. AFAIK VK's plan is to make everything available in the 1.1 hack that was in the 1.0 hack.

    ok but with the hack now in manual movie mode i can do 1080 50i even with an american camera if video out is set to pal right? Will that also be possible with update 1.1 without hack?

  • arvidtparvidtp

    no - with 1.1 you are back to the original way the camera worked. But when the hack for 1.1 comes out, it will allow you to shoot in PAL with 1.1.

  • Swiss_BoySwiss_Boy

    I have an american version of GH2 that i bought from B&H so it's not a pal version and i'm still using it with the hack but if i do the update 1.1 will i be able to record in 25p? or only 24p & 30p?

    Thanks

  • RickDRickD

    Many thanks for your reply, its helped a lot. thanks

    @RickD, there has only been one v1.1 version of the GH2 firmware released. What's on the Panasonic web site now is the same as what was originally posted.

    Hacking does not affect still pictures. You can see a summary of the patches in the FAQs. (the FAQ link is in the header)

  • RickDRickD

    anyone have the first release of the v1.1 PAL firmware with the 30 min limit removed and confirmed? if so could you please upload..

    Also can i ask as i am new to this, I mainly use my GH2 camera for pictures not video. does the hack benifit that at all or just video? and if i was to shoot video i doubt i would need it for HD movies, if anything possibly an advert or documentry or just backgrounds for green screen. so would i need to use the hack or just leave it standard firmware?

    cheers.

    RickD

    @majtrap

    Do not worry, it'll be possible in new Ptool.

  • majtrapmajtrap

    Hello to all members of this forum, I am a newbie of GH2 hack so I have the following question: is possible "only" remove the 30 min video limit on GH2 FW 1.1? Thanks in advance

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    @feha @arvidtp

    Please use proper topic.

  • arvidtparvidtp

    Pretty good noise in this too - shot with firmware 1.1 in NTSC HBR mode - all at 3200 or 1600 ISO with 20mm pancake, standard film mode.

  • fehafeha

    @pop24, great quality, please what was the mode ? cinema, standard ... ?

  • pop24pop24

    NR=0 color=-2

  • stoneystoney

    @pop24 what was NR set to?

  • mrbillmrbill

    @pop24 - nice..

  • pop24pop24

    the noise reduction is much better with firmware 1.1 you can see it in the pumavideo i made with 3200 iso

  • pop24pop24

    @paglez no there is no noise reduction on it, this is the original material from the camera. no color correction or something

  • bardamubardamu

    i have just donated 10$ to better hack our gh2 with 1.1 firmware:) thanks for all the great work

  • mrbillmrbill

    This has been done to death. If you don't work with or need 25p, then why bother contributing to this thread? All these 'speeding up' solutions are workarounds at best - go to the 'don't cry for me argentina' thread and read up why.

  • GabelGabel

    Or do all the syncing in 23,98 and speed it up afterwards.
