GH2 Flow Motion v2 - 100Mbps Fast Action Performance & Reliability for Class 10 SD cards
@CFreak It is in reference to the White Balance Adjust menu where you move the WB point three points towards Amber and two points towards Magenta from its default centre point along the 4-point axes.

50 mm in academy ratio - Hitchcock / Ozu with a GH2
@AlbertZ I too have been playing around with recreating the famous Ozu 50mm look, at least superficially. Here is an experiment I tried with the Voigtlander 25mm F0.95 matted to a 4:3 aspect ratio. I think it gives an approximation to the Academy r…

Driftwood Quantum X Settings, Series 2: Sedna A, B, C
More examples of Sedna 'C' (AQ1). Voigtlander 25mm F0.95 @ 1/50th. Standard (-2 x4). Note especially areas of underexposed soft focus, as this is where the demon of posterization can often be found. I am extremely pleased at how well the…

Driftwood Quantum X Settings, Series 2: Sedna A, B, C
@rajamalik Not yet. I tend to prefer any setting or method for softening the image, just as a matter of taste. I will give it a try though.

Driftwood Quantum X Settings, Series 2: Sedna A, B, C
Sedna 'C' (AQ1). Standard (-2x4). Olympus 12mm F2 & 45mm F1.8. Lovely work, Mr Driftwood! The subtle gradations in sky and cloud are the best I've seen yet! When you refer to deblocking, are you referring to edge sharpening sh…

My 5DtoRGB Automator app
@Brian202020 I would like to use 5DtoRGB but for some time (perhaps around the time I installed FCPX) the program has been giving me the 'missing Prores codecs' warnings, even though they are in my QuickTime library. I have disabled the wa…

Driftwood Quantum X Settings, Series 1: v3b Rocket - v4b Orion - v5 β Pictoris
In my opinion, the images produced with the Quantum X v.2 setting at 24H are some of the most "filmic" yet in terms of noise and motion. When examining images at 200-400% scale I can see plenty of noise texture which seems to mask some of …

First test of Quantum X v.2 with the GH2 and Olympus 12mm F2. All images are shot in 24H, Smooth Film Mode (-2,-2,0,-2), ISO set to 160-640. Images are both tripod and handheld straight out of camera with no additional grading. My initial impressi…

STEADICAM SOLUTION FOR GH2
@aktivfilm Willkommen onboard! When you say standard lens, are you referring to either the 14-42mm or 14-140mm kit lens?

Short film shot with GH2 + Lomo cinema lenses
Really nicely photographed, @ed_lee83. Thanks for sharing. Did you grade the images as well? If so, I'd be interested to hear more about your process, as the colours and curves seem film-like and natural.

100Mbps Flow Motion v1.11 Failsafe Patch with HBR 25p & 50p modes
A big thank you to LPowell for this amazing patch. I can see smoother motion in terms of edge shimmer, especially with Panasonic and Olympus m43 lenses. Here is my first test of Flow Motion 24H using the Olympus 12mm F2.0. With handheld work such as…

GH2 Digital Sharpening removable with hack?
@Psyco I have both the Olympus 12mm F2 and 45mm F1.8. I have noticed the effect of excess edge sharpening identical to my Panasonic lenses. I do not notice this effect with my Voigtlander 25mm F0.95, incidentally.

45mm F1.8 Olympus topic
I picked this lens up a couple of days ago. My initial impressions are very positive. I attach a PNG frame grab. The image is shot using Dynamic B&W Film Mode at 1/50th sec. wide open at F1.8. I am also using a LCW Fader ND. Also, I am using C…

AVCHD maximum image quality settings and testing
For me, the occasions of gradient banding in areas of subtle tonal and chroma shifts over large areas like blue sky and blank walls are the Achilles' heel of the GH2 video image. I am finding @cbrandin's 44M settings are producing less ban…

GH2 Stutter/Judder/Strobe issues discussion
Also, you may wish to experiment with slower shutter speeds with moving shots. I find a 1/30th shutter all but eliminates judder no matter what the speed of the pan. My initial impression is that 1/30th has a more "filmic" look in motion t…

GH2 Stutter/Judder/Strobe issues discussion
@Mark_the_Harp I too have noticed what is being called judder (a staccato-like pattern on sharp edges and and regions of high contrast) in my footage with pan, tilt, and dolly movements. I believe sharpening contributes to the effect, for I have sev…

12mm f/2.0 Olympus M. Zuiko Digital ED Lens
@lenuisible Focus-by-wire is speed sensitive, but with a quick motion the lens focuses from minimum to infinity in about a quarter-turn. Slower motion draws it out to a half-turn or more.

@stonebat The image appears rectilinear with no perceptible barrel distortion I can detect, at least from my initial testing.

12mm f/2.0 Olympus M. Zuiko Digital ED Lens
@No_SuRReNDeR I have the 20mm as well. The focus by wire ring feels a bit more fluid and smooth on the Olympus than on the Panasonic 20mm. Also, the all-metal finish feels more solid, as one might expect. Still, it doesn't feel as solid and wei…

@kae Thanks for your settings. I am exploring them now. As for viewing your MTS file, I found MPlayerX to work better than VLC on my Mac.
