    "Detail enhancer is off already.. that also make things worst"

    Is 'detail enhancer' an actual menu setting in the GH2 or are you talking about your monitor?

    yeah ok I will post something but my question was if we can turn off digital sharpening via firmware, not "what is the reason of this artifact".. I know well the sharpening problem and need no clarifications about it, it's something that if you don't know it you don't see it..

    Thanks

    I am a die hard pixel peeper, but I don't experience the same problem. I really doubt that many people out there can see sharpening artifacts at -2, so the only way to help you is for you to show us visually what the issue is, or else we'll be going round in circles trying to describe something so discrete in words, leading to a pointless conversation.
    To answer your original question though, my understanding is that VK will move on to HDMI and film modes after encoder is improved enough, and will therefore, probably be able to give more flexibility in film mode settings including sharpening etc etc

    they look exactly like when you apply sharpening in photoshop, to increase the sharpness perception the camera increase the light contrast around edges, good for a still but very bad in video, I see clearly a problem reduction with sharpness -2, but it should completely turned off. Detail enhancer is off already.. that also make things worst

    Could he really be referring to aliasing?

    Some of those artifacts may also me macroblocking from the lower original compression. I'll be curious to see if you see them as clearly now with the hack.

    any small detail, I noticed it a lot on grass because I do low altitude aerial filming. -2 improves it but it's always on, just zoom 400% and you clearly see contrast artifacts on dark/bright edges

    could you please share an example of what you mean? In my experience -2 sharpening is perfectly fine and has never created any artifacts for me.
