GH2 24p in PAL land
  • zcreamzcream
    My previous tests were with an unhacked GH2 and it showed strobing.
    There have been a number of tests on personal-view and here is a summary of how to work with 24p in PAL - until the 25P is released.
    1. Set Sharpness to -2
    2. Use the GOP3 hack (or the GOP1 - if it works)
    3. Use a diffusion filter (Hmm - I would be doubtful if a low light scene would cause detail related problems, as we saw this issue in low light footage as well)

    As a corollary to 1. and 3. we can use the Nostalgic or Smooth presets as they are "flatter"

    Is there anything I have missed ?

    I would love to get feedback from people using 24P in PAL-land.

    @zcream Shoot at 1/50 to match the shutter speed with the 50Hz supply? Although I have found to eliminate strobing of computer monitors I need to shoot at 1/80 or higher.

    I don't think changing the GOP could affect the strobing?

    Incidentally NTSC/60Hz land has the same strobing issues with 24p (30p matches with 60Hz but not 24p). We've just been lucky in PAL land that 25p both looks like 24p motion _and_ plays nice with the electricity cycle.
